I have been using Zip Wax for years. I have tried most of the products on the market, most of which are messy and expensive. Zip Wax is clean, quick and easy to use. I break off a couple of pieces of the wax and heat it in the microwave using a small plastic container, like those snack containers that you can buy in the grocery store. It works perfectly.

I used Zip for years, then was unable to find it for quite some time. None of the products I've tried to replace it with did nearly as well on my facial hair, so I'm super glad to find my old favorite, Zip Wax, here!

I think this product is a bit overrated: with all the waxes available today (and I've tried quite a few of them), there's really no need to use a wax that can't be heated in a microwave--and this one simply doesn't do a stunning enough job to be worth the sacrifice. (I prefer Sally Hansen's Spa Wax--you do have to use cloth strips with it, but it gets every single hair out that you want gone!) Zip left about a third of my unwanted hairs still rooted in their place after I pulled the wax off. What I did like about Zip, to be fair, is that even when it's fully melted it's not very hot and goes on the skin quite comfortably. The pulling-off part is about as painful as any other wax. I don't find it to be painless.

This seemed to remove a lot of hair, but compared to shaving, it seems like a waste of time.

I have horrible facial hair on my chin. A lot, thick like a guy's. This is great if you want to wax at home! It's easy to use, works well, and you get a lot of uses for a great price. A must-have!

My best friend and myself have been waxing our faces for years, and have tried every conceivable product...Zip Wax is by far the best for removing unwanted facial hair.

In the 20 years of hot-waxing my mustache, no other product I've tried can even begin to compete with this one. I tweezed for way too many years prior to this discovery, then wasted a lot of money on home electrolysis, and expensive over-the-counter treatments, even salon waxes. None of them were tough enough for my deep-rooted hair folicles. MELTING TECHNIQUE: I make a pot of coffee, and after it is brewed, place the zip wax (only one block at a time) in a stainless steel measuring cup (1/4c) on the warmer. It is the perfect consistency by the time I am finished with my first cup of coffee. *Microwaving makes the wax brittle, and OUCH, way too hot ! BIKINI LINE TECHNIQUE: My first time was... to say the least extremely memorable... and if you want to attempt it PLEASE make sure the hair you are trying to remove is no longer than 1/4" long and do a small test strip to see if you can handle the pain !

I have been wanting to do some home waxing, and after reading the reviews on this product, I thought I'd give it a try. I just used this product today, and I thought it was pretty easy. I heated a little in a coffee mug in a boiler on the stove, but next time I think I will try the microwave, since other reviewers said that worked ok. I don't see why it wouldn't. I did my eyebrows with the Zip Wax, and although it can get a little messy, I was thrilled with how easy and effective it was! I'm pleased with this product, and would recommend it. I haven't tried it on my legs or bikini area, but I plan to. Buy it! You'll love it!

Best wax--is not sticky like some of the others, and comes off very easily.

I've been using it since college. ZipWax works great. The first application removed most of the hair. I was so happy when I found out drugstore.com carries it.
