Nad's Brazilian and Bikini Wax

I bought this product hoping I would be able to cut down on the expensive (student budget) trips to the salon for my usual Brazilian.

I have never minded the pain of waxing before so I thought doing it on myself would be absolutely fine (especially since I have waxed my legs fine before).

Firstly I microwaved it for slightly less than the time on the instructions at the correct wattage and it was wayyy too hot. It didn't burn but really hurt, and the wax didn't spread evenly, it just sat on my skin in globs.

When trying to remove the wax it was near impossible and caused me so much pain. I literally thought I was going to rip my hair off with the skin still attached.

I ended up not removing all the wax because it was far too painful and just spent a very long time using baby oil trying to remove the residue.

For me, it is much easier to stick to the salon and let the professionals do it.

Good lord did this stuff hurt!! I had such high hopes for this product and was really excited when I saw it available in nz stores. I thought I too was going to have a easy pain free experience but boy was I wrong.

This stuff hurt like no other and I found it very difficult to apply and pull off. I'm surprised this wax hurt so much as I've been waxing for years and I have such a high pain threshold when it comes to wax - I usually don't feel it.

Overall it was such an awful experience that I never want to repeat. The thing that sux is my friends and I were all meant to try this wax out but when they saw my painful experience they didn't give it a go themselves so I was the only one who had to suffer.

I tried this a few years ago and jeepers creepers. Never again. I felt like my skin was coming off with the wax. It was a horrible sticky mess. However... (Yes there is a silver lining) I have been using it on my eyebrows and find it brilliant. So much quicker and easier than plucking. I'm a mum of four and a farmer so getting to town to get my brows done just doesn't happen. So yes happy to use on my brows not so bikini!!

I am not sure if it didn't work for me just because of my pain tolerance but I couldn't bring myself to properly rip off the wax so it was hard to remove once on. Not very handy I would say it would be far easier to just go to a beauty therapist even though it is much more expensive it's a lot more hassle free. It's also really hard to spread even after microwaving it! I was sceptical when buying this because I wasn't sure if I could handle it and I was right haha unless you have a very high pain tolerance I don't really know if this would work for you.

Shaving had never really worked for me down there and looking at the prices for salon Brazilians made my wallet cringe. So when I saw this product I was intrigued. Awful would be a understatement for this product. When pulling off a strip of wax it hurt sooooo muuccchhhhh!!!! and not all the wax would come off, some chunks of the wax even clung to hairs and refused to be pulled off! The wax did not smell nice and hardened up way before I was even finished waxing. Such a waste of money, time and effort.

I wouldn't recommend this wax! have had it sitting in my bathroom for a couple years now! First time I used it heated good and worked beautifully but trying to reheat after that just sucked wouldn't heat through properly so melted round top but middle was still rock hard! ha s a nice smell to it but wouldn't buy again!

I can count on one hand how many times I've actually emailed a company to tell them how disappointed I was with their product- this was one of those times (and no I got no response). This wax took about 3 times longer than recommended to melt and I had to re-melt it multiple times during waxing- and I'm no stranger to self brazillians! The wax was brittle and often would snap and even crumble during the removal leaving my skin highly irritated as each spot had to have multiple applications. It left a lot of residue behind and to make that worse it's a bright red colour which looks a little alarming around your bikini. I use another brand of wax normally but thought I'd give Nads a go- it was definitely a much more painful experience than normal.

I am not a huge fan of this product. Its VERY messy and tends to get everywhere. I also found that after about the second time using it became very hard to re-melt the wax. It also cracked a fair bit and not all the wax came off easily! It did its job but I don't believe its worth the mess and extra hassle.

I now go to a professional because it is really not worth doing your wax yourself at home. The anticipation and the pain were horrible compared to a professional. It was messy, got everywhere and dried quite quickly after melting. The shapes are pointless. Would not repurchase. I did about 1/4 of a wax before giving up. The one thing I did like were the after wipes.

I don't recommend this product.

First of all, it's really hard to do it yourself, as you can imagine. You will need your partner's (or a very close friend's) help, but I managed to do it myself... Only took about 2 hours!

The wax is messy and hard to spread evenly. I had to re-heat several times during the session. It is EXTREMELY painful. Hard to clean up too, make sure you put lots of newspaper down.
