i had never waxed before using this Nads brazillian and bikini wax, so it was a new experience for me i guess you would say! I didn't exact understand the shapes, but hey everyone likes their own thing, no judgement at all. the melting was easy, but i found i did have to let it cool down as it was quite hot. The first time it hurt like hell, but then after that it was all that bad. the wax is okay to come off, all though there were many occasions when little bits wouldn't come off and they hurt more than anything else. but overall it did the job.

Tips: definitely use the strips afterwards as it gets rid of all the excess and stops ingrown hairs!
I actually got this product because I'm sick of messy wax strips. I think this product is great. HOWEVER, I actually use it for above my eye brows (when the wax is quite cool) and armpits. So much tidier to use. Seldom leaves wax on your skin and any wax remaining in your skin is not sticky and disgusting. Its one of my go to's.
Tips: Reheat when it starts getting sticky and hard to spread. Otherwise, the product just doesn't perform how it should.
The first time I used this product I thought I was going to die. After all the squealing, deep exhales and the sweatiness that only comes from true pain I shocked myself and kept using it.... So much so that 4 years later I still am. Don't get me wrong there are quite a few tricks that are only mastered with practice but I've found it has been worth it. The product does need to be reheated a couple of times during the process but it makes a huge difference to make sure you have the right consistency.
The templates are a bit of a fail, they don't stick firm, or to be fair are they in shapes most people are likely to use. The love heart seems extra unachievable haha
For the girls who are shy/on a budget I would recommend this product as long as you are willing to persevere.
Tips: Sooooo many! - Get extra popsicle sticks, the big ones are really good.
- Finding the perfect thickness is key! Getting a 2mm ish coating will save you from having it dry too quick and needing to pick off crunchy wax, as well as a too thick layer that stays gooey and messy.
- An old towel on the floor goes a long way to stop stray bits of wax from sticking any place you don't want it.
- if you have trouble 'getting an edge' to pull, you can flick an edge upwards with a clean popsicle stick, the wax does not stick to it while it does come away from your skin enough to get a good grip.
I have used this product for years after it was recommended by a friend. While I agree with much of what the other reviewers are saying (it does take longer to heat than it says, if you are slow you might have to reheat it during waxing and it does get a bit brittle) I have still found it to be easy to use and effective. It gives me a nice result with no skin tearing and very little redness even on the most sensitive areas. I am interested that the reviewer who has trained as a beauty therapist said it cases folliculitis as I do have issues with that when the hair grows back. I will have to try a professional wax to see if there is any difference.
If you've been to a beautician before a few times and understand the technique and pain level you'll be fine. I got it because i didn't have the time or money to go to my usual lady and it works wonders. i don't have the guts to do a full brazillian but it's brilliant for bikini line.
Tips: use your nail to flick up a little tab at the end of each patch while its hardening so you have something to grab. don't spread too thin like strip wax, you want it to pull all the hairs in one pull.
I am a huge fan of their products. To be honest I use this for my top lip and under arms. It is one of the few that work on sensitive areas with corse hair. I love you don't need the material strips! It can dry up too quickly and gets stuck to the applicator, (which it could use a few extras enclosed) But is not too expensive and lasts for a while. . . definitely not for use on large areas like arms and legs. . . .Pain!
Tips: It needs to not be applied too thinly or it will not peel off easily. Also don't leave it on too long, as soon as it hardens remove it!
I have used this for over 3 years. At first it is painful, from removing hair down there, obviously. After all these years, I am still using it despite how painful it can get just because it stays melted for awhile and removes hair which it promises. After all these years, it is still painful !
Tips: Use the little packet of oil/cloth they give you, because these babies help you to avoid little nasty ingrown hairs!
I have been self waxing for years and thought i would give Nads a go. After getting used to the stickiness of the wax and learning how to stop the stringy bits from going all over the place it worked quite well. It was painful but no more/less than any other wax I have used. My only disappointment is the short length of time the wax stays hot for..you have to be quick to wax!!
Tips: Work from top to bottom!
I have used many a wax before but all of them have never come up to par until I came across the Nad's brand and this Branzilian and Bikini wax in particular. It saves me from those embarrassing trips to the salon to show my ladyscape to the professional. I know it's what they do but it's really never been for me. This is why this wax is so valuable and effective for me.
I would much rather pay the $18 for this than $60 for a full brazilian. Besides that I like when I am in control of the wax strips. I can't speak for everyone because pain tolerance is different for everyone but this to me doesn't hurt at all it just is hot for a second then ebbs away. The box comes with shapes if you feel the need to get inventive which is sooooo up my alley! The wax itself smells nice enough, quite fruity but thick. It takes longer than directed to heat up which can be time consuming to get it to the right temperature to make it spread easier.
I love the calming wipes it comes with to help soothe the area afterwards. I smooth the wax on to the area smoothing it on firmly to grip as many hairs as possible. I try and pull the skin tight but as you can imagine it isn't easy in those regions. I pull the strip up against the skin growth so it grabs them firmly. I do find that it has a hard time grabbing coarse hairs and ends up leaving them behind. The wax can stick and dry pretty quickly which is hard to get off afterward so make sure you keep the wax on the area of hair you want gone only or it can get messy and sometimes painful to pull off dry bits of wax.
The hair free-ness lasts for me up to six weeks which is great and saves me shaving so often. I tried this on my underarms too and oh the difference it makes to my underarm skin. It is less irritated from shaving and takes up to 8 weeks to see growth. This to me is amazing in itself. I am sold!
Tips: It needs to be heated for longer than directed
I used this for my first attempt at DIY bikini waxing and with my very low pain threshold I was pleasantly surprised that I made it through!
Firstly, waxing hurts! This isn't going to change no matter what product you use. However, the delicious mango-peach fragrance did soften the blow in this case. The formula was easily heated in the microwave, although it took a little longer than recommended on the box and needed a few reheats (Always test it to get the right heat, you wouldn't wanna burn yourself). It went on easily enough and came off easy as well...once i'd summoned the courage that is.
It removed most of the hair and the few stragglers were dealt with using tweezers. The pack included some lovely after-wax wipes which got rid of the sticky excess which can be a pain to get rid of sometimes. They were also really soothing which was definitely welcomed.
The size is pretty generous and i've gotten about 4 uses out of it so far, with a few more to go.
Tips: Don't get this stuff on the floor, be well prepared with newspaper as it can get messy! Also, make sure you have extra popsicle stick as the pack doesn't come with nearly enough. Be sure to make a generous tab with the wax to pull it off and other than that, sit back and try to enjoy the scent...
