Review (1/5): Disappointing
Let me begin by saying I have sensitive skin, and have been waxing for many years (>25!) so I am not a novice to this. I will also say, I have really liked Nair products previous to this one. I always prefer the roll on application, but I also really liked the wax/etc when the melon was discontinued in that form from the microwavable tub.
I cannot express how disappointed and annoyed with this current product I am. First, they only provide say 10 of the strips to remove the wax with...noting that they are "reusable"...because what I want to do when I am waxing my legs, is to stop half way thru to clean up and reprepare the strips...I cannot imagine the cost to be prohibitive, so why they do not include more and allow the customer to just "dispose" of them is beyond me. Next, the applicator is ridiculous. I followed the recommendations for "melting" to the letter...kneading the container to evenly distribute and heat the wax. I found the applicator to be very cumbersome. The bigger problem however, was the wax....even following the instructions for heating and reheating, I never found the consistency to be appropriate. I was unable to "evenly and thinly" apply this to my skin, it came out of the applicator gloppy and thick no matter what. Very messy for sure. Not sure if this was a wax issue, or a applicator issue. Finally, after dealing and fighting with all of this, I found very poor results in the end. After I am cleaning up the mess from this, and wiping down my legs, there is still visibly and obviously hair all over the place. I have never had this issue with any of the previous Nair products. I had bought 4 of these to get me into the summer, but I have used 1, and plan on trying to return the other 3, as they are terrible. I will be investigating other products as this one is not going to do the trick. I would have given a 1/2 star or less, but the lowest I can go is 1.
