Self tanner

I have been using a moisturizer with a self-tanning agent for a few weeks and now that my mikvah night is nearing I remember there being an issue with stains to the skin. Would be preferable for me to stop using these agents and try my best to vigorously ...

Shaving legs

In theory, I am quite picky about my legs always being perfectly shaved, and when I was first married I had them waxed the day before I went to the mikvah and then went over them with a razor. But between work and family I haven't been finding the time to...

Removal of pubic hair permissible?

Is it allowed to trim the hair from the pubic area or to wax/shave the entire area before mikveh?

Recent piercing

I recently got my ear pierced. The earring is not to be removed for 6 months so it may heal. If I were to remove it myself, it would be extremely painful and likely to get infected, especially when exposing it to water right after. Is there any way possib...

NuvaRing

What is your opinion on the nuva ring – halachically, healthwise, and for staining purposes?
Thanks so much for all your help.

Bath previous night

I have a question about preparations for Tevillah. After a season of regular Motzoei Shabos tevillahs, I realized that what I enjoyed most about the process was being able to prepare the day before and be relaxed on the day of tevillah. (I am usually very...

Immersion and early Shabbat

May a woman go to the mikveh with her pubic area shaven one month and then go the next month with it unshaven or does the hair then become a chatzitza? Thank you for your help.

Mikveh preparation in the morning

I will hopefully be ready to immerse in the mikvah on Monday, when I am scheduled for a very busy day at work. I seem to remember a Rav once told me it's preferable to bathe close to the immersion, but I think it would relieve much stress for me to bathe ...

Mikveh timing

Hi, I have a question. Tomorrow night is my first mikvah night after my wedding. I'm a bit unsure about something. I know I can begin my preparation in the morning before I go to work. Like cutting my nails, etc. right?
Before I use the mikvah I hav...

Three-day yom tov & makeup

My mikva night is the coming Fri. night, immediately after Rosh Hashana.
I understand that all my preparations are to be done before Yom Tov.
Can I put on any makeup for Yom Tov (either before, or else make-up powder permissible on Yom Tov) and ...

Radiation tattoo

To ensure radiation for cancer treatment in the same place for 6 weeks I have a choice of a marking done with a very strong marker or a tattoo. Which one is better to have done to avoid questions of a chatzitza?
