Nair - does it work? Tell me about it

[zekeson]

Ok, a nonsense post. Nair hair remover "Say Goodbye to the Blade, Babe" (What a horrible slogan, btw) does it work?

I think I must have been a preteen when it came on the market. I have never used it. I never had a sister that used it. I don't think any girlfriend ever used it. I never had a wife that used it. It came up in conversation the other day for some odd reason and it was suggested that it was no longer made. I haven't seen a commercial in ages, so maybe it was just a bad product? The old commercials from the 70's made me a leg man.

Whats the deal? Does it work? Nair horror stories?

thanks

1. It works great......

no horror stories from me. But I bought an electric razor finally.

2. Nair Never worked on me

It stung and removed only 1/3 of the hair the last time I tried it a couple of years ago.

I use a richer cream and it works just fine.

3. It works

I use it because I hate to shave.

I have never had a problem with it but my Aunt accidently fell asleep with it on and burned her armpits.

4. It does work, but i don't recommend it.

If you don't leave it on long enough, it doesn't work, and if you leave it on too long, it burns. Also, I would NEVER use it on your pubic area; skin too sensitive, Nair too much like toxic waste.

It's been a long struggle for me with depilatories; I ahve a condition called polycystic ovarian syndrome and one of the symptoms is growing hair where only men are supposed to have it. I've tried everything I could find, short of electrolysis, and I don't think anything, in the end, works better than old-fashioned shaving.

Good luck,

5. Nair works but...

It's kind of a pain to use. You have to cover yourself with goo and try not to touch your body to anything for 15 minutes.

9. Didn't work for me.

I have sensitive skin and tried the sensitive skin Nair but it still left my legs blotchy, in pain, and barely removed any hair.
