Review (1/5): Read & Heed the Negative Reviews
I followed the product instructions, including testing on a small area before general application. The test removed some hair & had no negative side effects so I proceeded with the general application. I left the product on for 10 minutes with no adverse reaction. They came shortly afterwards when I got into the shower & began to wipe the cream away using the glove that was provided. I immediately experienced a burning sensation that increased in intensity as I proceeded. I gave up using the glove & rinsed away the remaining Bare Balm with lukewarm water & my hand. By now the skin was so sore that I could barely stand to let the water touch it but I realized that I had to remove all of the Bare Balm so I persevered. I then blotted the area dry with a towel and applied the Calm Balm with my bare hand. Even those light touches hurt like hell.
That was yesterday. I have been "going commando" since then, wearing only sweat pants. I was awakened several times during the night with pain as the affected area touched sheets or even my leg. Any contact whatsoever, whether with fabric or other skin, is still painful today. I packaged everything up for return and applied a different skin cream today to aid in healing. As before, even the gentle touch of my fingers hurts.
Oh yeah, before I forget, the Bare Balm did not even remove all of the hair. It's back to shaving for me after I heal but, if you have a high pain threshold & don't want to shave, I have an alternative suggestion. Try pouring lighter fluid on your balls & igniting it. It can't be much more painful & would likely be more effective than Bare Balm in hair removal.
