Product quality decline?

by CK

in Chicago burb on 8/8/09

Cons: Causes Breakouts, Misses Hair

Describe Yourself: Brand Buyer

Best Uses: Face

Bottom Line: not recommended

I have used this product for a few years and been reasonably satisfied but I have noticed that the "wax" consistancy has changed the last two times I purchased it. Instead of sticky it has become grainy and does not work at all. The first time I thought I had just gotten a bad batch but when I purchased a replacement it was the same deal. I am very disaapointed because this used to be a good product. I will not be buying it again. I did read in some of the other reveiws that microwaving helped. I will try this and see if it changes the consistancy otherwise in the garbage it goes.

Pros: Washes away easily

Cons: Didn't remove hair well, Difficult to use, Had to heat, Made me BLEED, More painful than wax

Hair Texture: Fine Hair

Bottom Line: not recommended

Did not work well at all! Left lots of hair behind and skin was bleeding and had welts. Absolutely painful and not a good product at all. The ONLY pro was that it washes away easily.

My 2cents

by Lily

Pros: Easy to Use-relative, Smooth

Cons: HARD TO FIND, Time Consuming

Describe Yourself: Clean Shaven

Best Uses: At Home

Hair Texture: Coarse Hair

Bottom Line: recommended

Personally I think this is the best product out there (for coarser hair & and who despise after shave stubble)...I have tried a lot and this has been my product for years now. My only problem, is it has become hard to find. I finally found it on this website and got a few kits, but the containers came open and spilled all over! Unfortuneatly, this is the only place I can find my stuff. But as for the product, its NOT perfect...just the best I can find. Note- microwave is recommended, if its hot outside put a fan blowing on you (it has to cool to grab).

Nad's is the best

Pros: Good Value, Pleasant Scent, Reduces Irritation, Smooth

Cons: Better for fine hair, Could be cheaper, Takes practice

Describe Yourself: Clean Shaven

Best Uses: Every 5 weeks, Sensitive Areas

Hair Texture: Fine Hair

Bottom Line: recommended

After using this product, I am never shaving or waxing again. This is so convenient and easy. I'll admit that Nad's can take some getting used to, but if used properly, it gives the exact same results as waxing with the convenience of a water-soluble gel. If you haven't ever waxed before, it will take some practice, but every time you use it, it will get easier. Also, it will hurt like a b***h the first time, but again, it gets easier, and your hair will grow back thinner! Some tips: 1. Even though it says "no-heat," warm in the microwave first, for about 10-15 seconds. 2. Your hair should ideally be at least 1/3 of an inch. It's worth the wait to grow it out, trust me. (Also, if you have super-coarse hair, it may be a little trickier for you.) 3. Spread a THIN layer of gel onto the hair, and pull the strip off FAST, staying close to the body.

Seriously waste of money

Bottom Line: not recommended

I've been waxing for years and decided to try this item they speak so highly of on TV. I wasn't happy at all. The wax is really hard to get and spread around the skin. It says not to microwave but I had to microwave anyway to make the wax easy to spread around. Also, the wax isn't strong enough to remove all the hair, microwaved or not, still left most hair with wax on it behind. The worst thing about it is that the wax is easy to remove just by using water. That's great that the wax won't leave any stickiness behind but it's also a sign that the wax isn't strong enough. I used it twice and just threw the whole kit away after that.

Don't Buy

by jen

Pros: Pleasant Scent

Cons: Didn't work well, Painful

Bottom Line: not recommended

I thought this product hurt a lot. Not much hair was removed for the amount of pain I was in. I thought the wax was too thick, so I used less to make it thinner. That didn't help at all. The hair didn't come out evenly either. I had a couple spots with no hair, but then right next to it there was a lot of hair. It wasn't consisent. I couldn't finish my leg because it hurt so bad.

painful?? what a wimp. Nad's is the Best

Pros: Easy To Use, Good Value

Bottom Line: recommended

My sister got me to try Nad's. She's been using it for a couple years now, and her hair is deminishing. Soon she won't have any hair to remove. I had a friend who went to electrolysis every month for 3 years. Talk about pain. This is the Best product to come along for women since... well just try it.

I just purchased this ...

by Laura

I just purchased this product today, and just absolutely love it. It is a lot easier to use that any wax system I have ever tried, and the pain was minimal compared to other systems as well. It is still a little messy, but it is nothing compared to hot wax applicators. Once you get the hang of application, it goes on easy, and comes off even easier. Also, clean up is a breeze since it will come off with plain old soap and water, which is something that never works with wax. I also love the lotions and exfoliants that come with it. The fact that the strips can be washed and reused is absolutely fantastic too. I really like Nad's and will continue to use it in the future.

WASTE OF MONEY. I thought this was a great idea. On TV it looks great. It is a pain in the behind to use and it is painful. What a waste of money
