Wax fact or fiction?

Further to the last waxing post, I was reminded of a story so bizarre, I really question its authenticity. As all such stories begin, the teller assured me she knew someone who knew the husband of the woman involved – and he works in advertising. (I work in advertising but it doesn’t mean my bullshit detector has been completely disabled.)

Anyhow, this woman had her period and a waxing appointment....

Actually, that was another discussion at work; should you cancel an appointment if you have your period? Some women are adamant that it’s fine if you have your period, others are equally adamant that it’s so NOT fine.

Back to the woman….so the waxer gets wax on her tampon string by mistake and doesn’t notice until she whisks the strip off – ripping the tampon out with it - POP!!! Without missing a beat, the waxer says to the mortified woman, ‘Well, I don’t suppose you’ll be wanting that back,” and flings it into the bin with the rest of the wax.

So, two questions for you this time:  
       1.  The story; fact or crap?     
       2.  Should you be getting a wax while you have your period? Yes or no. And if yes, please explain what on earth you do with the string??

Yes with period ... tuck the string in where the sun doesn't shine. Except, they say, it hurts more when you have your period ... not sure whether that is fact or fiction either!
