Nad's For Men Body Wax Strips, At Home Waxing Kit for Coarse Hair, 20 Ct

Twenty strips, but only two 'calming wipes', it does state that on the box in small print, and I've no issue with buying the wipes separately, but it would have been good if the instructions made the situation clearer. Under Helpful and Handy Tip, (below the actual use instructions), it says "Remove any residual wax with the post wax calming oil wipes provided" Perhaps it should say "..with one of the two sample post wax calming oil wipes, (available separately)" I think that oil wipes are a key part of the process. Aside from that, the strips are good, straightforward, and worked fine for me, (a fair haired white male). I'm thinking about reusing the used strips as fly traps, since I live alone and nobody will get grossed out. They work for me, I will buy again.

Directions and use of the product is simple and straightforward. However, it did next to nothing for me in my hair removal attempts. I am amazed that something so sticky and painful removed so little hair. It stuck to my skin so well that I was red and sore for a few hours after use. Removing the residue was difficult but the included wipes worked well to get it all eventually. Unfortunately, less than 25% of my hair (inner thigh and lower back) was removed, even after multiple attempts. Overall, I am very displeased with this product. I assume that it would work on very, very thin hair - which I do not have.

Too weak. Sticks to hair but wax comes off strip leaving a waxy hairy mess and a strip with nothing on it....... These actually work very well. I took a shower and exfoliated my chest after getting dried in used these and they work great. First time I used them I didn't do the prep work so it was all me. Left original post up because I was wrong and admit it.

Not exactly what I expected. You must warm up with your hands very well so the product can adhere... a lot of residue would stay on the skin and u have to go over the same spot multiple times. I do not recommend for sensitive skin. I had no allergic reaction on my skin as I’m used to regular waxing, I just had to pluck hairs that were left after using the strips. But when I tried it on my husband to remove his chest hair the wax strips gave him a very bad allergic reaction so I threw them all away. I believe he might have sensitive skin, all his chest got swollen and red spots everywhere. If you have sensitive skin stay away, if you are looking for a way to wax without much mess you may try this product just know they might be spots the strip won’t remove hair and You still have to pluck.

Bought it for upper arm hair and it works great. Just wish the strips were bigger

Left residual adhesive on skin. A pain in the butt to remove.

A bunch of negative reviews on here show some poor preparation and limited patience. I have tried others and this one is better because of the fabric-like material that carries the wax - conforms better and is softer than other plastic types. Also beats the hassle and mess of bottles and crap. Here's the problem guys: If you try to pull long hair out with wax strips, it is not going to work, it will hurt, and it will leave loads of messy wax all over the place. They tell you to use it on short hairs. So what you do is lightly shave your hair so it is short - about 1/4" to 1/2". THEN use the wax strips. Also, you really need to pull in the opposite direction of your hair growth, very close to the skin, and with a super fast snap. Don't do it on a "clean" body. Plan to do it just before you shower. That way the wax will be pulling on the natural oils of your skin and some dead skin which reduces the "grab". If you do it on clean skin, it will grab harder and therefore be more painful. When I first tried these things I had the same reactions guys on here say: OUCH! what a mess! how many times do I have to rip to get all the hair out!? That is because I was doing it all wrong. And if you do it right and repeat I guarantee it is not nearly as painful as it was in your first "trial" run. After I realized how to do it to avoid being painful, I actually got the guts to use it places my girlfriend wanted! Also, I have a whole bunch of extra finishing wipe packets used for wiping off the wax. There is plenty if you don't throw the wax strips all over the place. Come on, just stick it on your chest or whatever, snap it off, then I just stick them to each other when finished, stick them back into the box and throw it out. If you do it right, there is usually only a small bit of wax left on your skin once in awhile and I need only one wipe to clean off from one full body session. And it does work over time - I need to do it less and less now and it is a lot easier than in the beginning. So "MAN UP" guys - do your homework and you won't have any trouble. UPDATE: A friend prompted me to add a couple things since this is such a popular review- 1. The strips work better when warm. You can warm them in your hands like the instructions say but I set the pile under a light or in the sun to get them a little warmer than just between my hands. There is a sweet spot - too warm and they are too soft and won't grab, too cold and they are trouble. 2. Not all hairs grow in the same direction. When they do, snap the strip in the opposite direction. There are a few spots on my body where the hairs are sprouting in all different directions. So I snap in one direction and then go over the same spot and snap in the opposite direction. This gets most of it. But I would not do the same spot more than twice. The skin can get raw and you might hurt yourself. For some folks with more sensitive skin, they may only be able to do one snap in a session. You just have to find what works for you. 3. Always be sure to stretch your skin in the opposite direction from where you are snapping the strips. Snapping without tension on your skin is asking for trouble. Good luck!

I purchased this product to remove some body hair. I followed the instructions and when I applied it rubbed it in like you're supposed to and tried to pull it off all it did was leave wax residue on your body. It did not pull that much hair off and I had to take a shower and wash the area for about 15 minutes before most of it was removed. I would not recommend this product.
