Nad's Brazilian and Bikini Wax

I can count on one hand how many times I've actually emailed a company to tell them how disappointed I was with their product- this was one of those times (and no I got no response). This wax took about 3 times longer than recommended to melt and I had to re-melt it multiple times during waxing- and I'm no stranger to self brazillians! The wax was brittle and often would snap and even crumble during the removal leaving my skin highly irritated as each spot had to have multiple applications. It left a lot of residue behind and to make that worse it's a bright red colour which looks a little alarming around your bikini. I use another brand of wax normally but thought I'd give Nads a go- it was definitely a much more painful experience than normal.

I now go to a professional because it is really not worth doing your wax yourself at home. The anticipation and the pain were horrible compared to a professional. It was messy, got everywhere and dried quite quickly after melting. The shapes are pointless. Would not repurchase. I did about 1/4 of a wax before giving up. The one thing I did like were the after wipes.

Oh my lord. This product is painful and just difficult to use... the stencils are just a nightmare don't even try to use them they don't work. The wax sets super hard and is hard to get off and when you do it doesn't even get all the hair. I'm probably just super amateur at using this form of wax but for me it was TERRIBLE and I wouldn't use it again let alone recommend it to anything with hair! It's a no from me.

I decided to give this a try and see if I could do an at home job and man what a bad idea! First off it is soooo messy! The wax is mega hard to spread evenly and then removing it was even worse....sooo painful. The shapes seem so pointless to me and I have no idea how you could even use them. Would never use this again...lesson learnt.

I usually use veet warm wax. Have done for YEARS. Love it.

Went to the pharmacy to get a prescription and thought ‘oh I’ll pick up some wax while I’m here’. But there was no Veet. Only Nads. I thought I’d give the bikini wax a go.

So got home, read the instructions. Put the product in the microwave for the recommended time and it came out as hard as it went in?

So heated it again and still - came out hard! So put it in for 3 minutes and saw it had melted in the middle. But the stuff is so solid and goopy you can’t just mix the melted stuff into the non melted. So had to heat it up AGAIN!

Once I had it to the consistency I thought it should be I trundled off to the en-suite to start.

Applied the wax to my ‘under carriage‘ waited a Minute and then tried to rip it off.

That’s when life got a little grim. I couldn’t even get a finger nail between my skin and the wax to lift up an edge to even try to rip it off.

I couldn’t even pinch the stuff off - and trying cause eye watering pain.

I even hopped in the shower to wash it of. Oh silly me. This sh!t was going no where.

So I did what any normal girl would do - I rang my husband - half crying / half laughing. (He wasn’t much help)

I sat on the edge of the bed and read reviews and tips online - all the while the nads was still applied.

Decided that I must not have applied a thick enough layer. standing in that bathroom - all panicky that I can’t get it off and contemplating adding another layer..... was I cray cray?

I decided I had nothing to lose. Added another thick layer - and whaddya know. It bloody came off! Not the hair mind you. Just the nads.

Did a little happy jig. Threw the rest of the Little in the bin. And lived happily ever after with the beloved Veet.

The end

This looked like it would be a winner. Unfortunately, this product was rather harsh on the skin. extra painful on pulling. difficult to get temperature right for it to be pliable enough to smear on but not too hot to scold the skin. Although I did love the convenience of not having to run around looking for cotton wax strips - it's all inclusive! A few adjustments in their formula and this could be a potential winner.
