Best Home Waxing Kit? What do you use?

Umm, well thats it - all in the title!!


Give me your reviews please!!

Melt wax and cloth strips or the pre waxed plasticky thingos...are there any more options?

Hey Lulu2

I find the prewaxed sticky things are the best, the spread of wax is much more even, plus i have sensitive skin and i find that they dont irritate me at all! They are a little more expensive though.

There is also this other thing by Dr. Lewins (i think) hair removal mouse, kind of like the hair removal cream but easy to use and much more sensitive and it has something in it that actually minimises hair regrowth - which surprisingly actually works!

I get the Veet/Nair (Can't remember brand) sensitive skin PAW PAW strips - don't even bother with the tubs of wax. You have to heat it, and somehow spatula it on, too thick it wont work, too thin - too hot, too cold... You get it...
The plastic strips are great, you just separate, hold on your leg, and rub with your hand to warm up. Top tip - put the strips (do not separate them!) you are planning to use UNDER YOUR THIGH - that way your body heat warms the strip up, making it easier. Also you can use the same strip for about 2 or three goes, they will keep working.
They are about $9 a pack, and I use 1/2 a pack - so $9 for 3 months of no hair - Pretty cheap to me!!

I use the nair senative the wax post are wayy to much trouble go with the strips :)

Im going to be different and say hot wax with cloth strips - I use the waxeze brand. I have used many other brands (nair, veet etc) and find they leave residue that you can only get off with baby oil YUCK!
Waxeze washes off in water, and definately gives me the best results! I dont find it too much trouble at all :)

I like some green pre waxed strip ones, they were free in sample bags with New Idea and Womans Day, if only I could remember the brand name. I thought I had one laying around that I could do my bikini area with before hitting the pool yesterday but couldn't find it and had to use my Epilady :wall: good for legs, not bikini :wall:

Miss Little Sunshine ... I think NAIR is a green packaging (i might be wrong :rolleyes:) ... thought i'd mention if it rang a bell with you ;)

I use to use the pot ... but these days with a toddler i just can't risk the 'hot' pot about ... so i'm lazy and use Veet cream & not wax ... tho the damn hair grows back too quickly :wall:, augh ... luckily my lovely DP still thinks i'm sexy, LOL :dance:
