On the subject of hair removal...
Has anyone ever tried Nad's No heat Wax?
I've seen it on infomercials and the shopping channels, etc.
It claims to be an all-natural product with super hair removal results (well, they all claim that).
I am curious - anyone here tried it?
I have--not on myself, but on my brother--he needed someone to do a little "manscaping" on his back (I'm sure he'd appreciate my sharing this tidbit). It's like a sticky gel. if you've ever used a sticky mousetrap, I'd bet the compounds are the same.
It does work--in fact, one of the virtues is that you can reuse the same gel, though it gets full of hairs and is kind of gross to look at after a while, and if you've ever tried to wax yourself and had it harden on you--well, no worries about that with Nads. I don't know if it's more or less painful than waxing or about the same. My brother screamed like a little girl, but men are such babies about suffering for art--if he was a veteran of tweezing, waxing, four-inch heels, menstrual cramps, etc., he might have a different pain threshold. So I will say the pain level is comparable.
The only drawback is that it doesn't seem to "grab" the hairs as much as wax does, so you might have to reapply it numerous times (I wouldn't use it on my "girly bits for that reason) and round up the strays with tweezers, and I don't know if it can be use for spot-cleaning such as the brows or upper lip.
But if you wanted to wax your legs and were looking for a less messy alternative, I'd say definitely, go for it.
One tip that I got from a freind who runs a chain of waxing spas, if you powder the area you want to wax first, it makes the wax adhere to the hairs better and not to the skin, and I would bet this applies to Nads too.
Good luck!
