Veet Was Very Bad for Me
How much do I hate hair on my body? I began shaving my legs in third grade, without the knowledge of my parents. I used my father's very sharp double-edged razor blade and, with my motor skills not as honed as they later grew to be, wound up with a bloody mess. My parents became suspicious when I was wearing woolen knee socks in the summer. My mother understood my disdain for body hair as well as my tendency to be stubborn and bought me a woman's electric razor. It was never as horrific a scene again, as my young skin was protected this way. Fast-forward to the days before my wedding. I had returned to using a good, thick shaving cream or shower gel and regular razor blades with a comfort strip because I want my skin to be devoid of even ONE hair and feel like marble. In my excitement for the ceremony, I shaved my legs and arms and ALSO then used Nair and a loofah afterward to achieve the aforementioned results (I know, I know!). I wound us with a rash so ferociously ugly that my husband nearly fainted when he saw through my elbow-length lace gloves. "You look like a fairy tale princess," he whispered to me after I came down the aisle, tears in his eyes, "but what the heck did you do to your arms?" There was one positive thing about the rash--we spent our honeymoon in Disneyworld and were able to move to the head of any line; people just backed away when they saw me coming. I didn't have good results with Veet. The idea of a plastic tool for removal is brilliant! I made sure NOT to shave beforehand or use any other products (my loofah was locked away). I covered my skin with the cream and the smell was less than pleasant. I left it on for the allotted time and the great majority of my fine hair remained. Ingrown hairs were brought to the surface, along with red patches and bumps. I don't have sensitive skin and can withstand what most women can't, but there was a terrible itching sensation. I couldn't get it off fast enough. So it's back to razors for me. It's hard to find an electric shaver that works closely enough, but Veet was a waste of money and caused me problems. I don't recommend it. — 1 month, 1 week agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 0 of 0 people said helpful

Not the best...
So it may just be that I'm not using enough product or this product just simply doesn't remove hair as nicely as waxing or even shaving does. It's a great idea, as it comes with a blade-less applicator that removes the cream and the hair but the product itself just doesn't work all too well. It's also a hassle having to wash the product off as some of it tends to stick and only come off after you rub, which in turn really irritates the skin. I'd skip this product and try another product or method of hair removal. — 1 year, 11 months agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 3 of 4 people said helpful

This product works....
This product does work, but you have to leave it on for a few extra minutes if hair is slightly course in certain area. I find that it's easier to remove it with a loofah or a body poof,as opposed to the little tool it comes with. The results last about a week on my legs, which is pretty decent. Just be careful if your skin is extra sensitive as this product CAN cause chemical burns. — 2 years, 1 month agoThis review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 2 of 5 people said helpful
