I've used the wax once and will never use it again! It is the WORST wax I've ever used. I used to use Veet, but they don't seem to make warm wax anymore, so I tried Nair. It's awful!
The application is meant to be easy, at least so they say, but it's not! I've been using warm wax for years, so I'm quite experienced in applying it, but this was just a nightmare.
There are no strips. You "just" smooth on and then peel off. As if! It's VERY difficult to peel it off! You are meant to take it at the end and then peel the whole thing off. But that hardly every works. Most of the time you just manage to tear a tiny little bit of, and another one, until after a while you finally manage to get the whole strip iff. They say that the wax should not stay on the skin for longer than a minute, but that's hardly avoidable with the long peeling off process.
They say it's easy and clean. NO, it's really MESSY because the wax creates long threads that go everywhere.
What annoyed me most however, is that the wax, once dry, is IMPOSSIBLE to get off anything.
You apply the wax with a wooden applicator that comes with it. It's never possible to apply the entire wax from the applicator onto the skin. So obviously the applicator gets really full of wax after using it a couple of times. When it was so full that it was difficult to use, I switched to using a knife, and even a second knife. Mistake! I had to throw both knives away because it was IMPOSSIBLE to get the wax off!
I put the knives into a bowl with boiling hot water and let them in there for a bit. The wax even became a bit more fluid, but I still couldn't get it all off. Moreover the bit of wax that did came off stayed at the bottom of the bowl and dried there. So I had to throw that away, too, as well as the plate one which I had put the tub. I don't know whether it would come off in a dishwasher, I haven't got one. But I doubt it because it sticks on so solidly.
The problem is simply that the wax gets TOO hard when cold. Veet warm wax was so much better because even when dry it was still relatively soft. Therefore whatever was full of wax could simply be put under hot water for a minute and then it came off very easily. Nair wax is a disaster however!
So DON'T BUY IT, YOU'LL REGRET IT!!!!
Summary: Messy, very difficult to peel off skin, absolutely impossible to get off anything where it sticks on
