Nair?

I use veet for my arms... it stillh as a chemical smell but less then the olden days.

The times on the back of the package vary to depending on what type of hair you have. I find that 5-8 minutes is not enough to take off my course hair so I usually leave it on for ten.

Be carfeul though it can burn. Ive never used it on my legs

I've used the one for your face and it works good. I don't have the time or the effort to attempt using it on my arms...

it only takes 3-4 minutes to take arm hair off, at first I wwas skeptical but if you apply it and then wipe it off with a wet wash cloth it comes right off.

I think Neet used to work better than Nair. But I don't know if they still sell Neet.

Also, sally hansen has some good products just like nair.

If it burns... take it off immediately!!! I sat there and let it burn until the time was up... and i has chemical burns on me... and little holes where my skin was eaten. just be careful.

I used it when I was a teen- it burns, smells disgusting, and only works the first few times you do it.

I just stick to shaving.

I meant to put legs. Yeah I've tried it on my arms too, but I hate when it growns back in because then your arms are prickly. I just bleach my arm hair.

Yeah she does. I used her bleaching kit. Her hair remover works good too..but I found that Nair lasts longer on me.

I used Nair in the beginning. I stopped after getting bad reactions on my legs (itchy bumps). So, shaving it is.

If I could tolerate pain, I'd wax though.

im a hairy gorrillaaa

for my legs i use inuition razors. neverrrr get any bumps or cuts. its awesme.. i get them at bjs 12 cartiges for 25$!

at the pharmacy they are like 12-14$ for 3 cartriges.


fo rmy face i use the nair wax strips, where u rub ur hands together to wamr it up. they are IMPOSSIBLE to find. when i do find them i get the entire shelf

UGH what happened? was it like a bad sunburn? that's what ive heard? I've never left it on long enough for it to burn! But I do have to leave it on longer than the recommended time cause my hair is really thick and course.
OUCHIESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

no. it wasn't at all like a bad sunburn really. it was like a really bad chemical burn where my skin was missing in parts that looked like random holes (not round circle shapes either - more like the shapes and sizes you would see on a leaf that was eaten by bugs). Since I was missing skin then it scabs up and all.
I guess the skin that wasn't eaten off completly might have been irritated to the point where it was like a bad sunburn now that I think of it. But there were more parts with missing skin... and that was wayyy worse than a bad sunburn.

What's strange is that I didn't really bleed, even where the skin was missing... though you could see pink flesh like something underneath. It's hard to explain.

But it was a disasterous mess and hurt like crazy too!!!
