Veet/nair

[Guest Jess_W]

i know of all the side effects and how to use it, i'm just wondering how well it works, is it better than carving my leg up with a razor, or using an eletric razor that isn't covering all of it? does it burn more often than not? does it actuyally leave no stubble

and how come you can't use it on chest, belly, face, back?

[Guest Donna Jean]

Great questions, Jess!

I want to know the answers to those questions myself...

I shave everything, but since HRT not much grows back anymore...

So I want to know about it, too....

I'll wait for answers with you....ok?

Hugg!

Sweetie,

I do not use Veet nor Nair for my hair removal, so I cannot answer your specific questions. What I can tell you is this regarding shaving, using a razor will not tear up you legs, chest, arms, etc. I have shaving down to a science. My legs are always smooth and hairless. My arms are too It takes practice, but you can get the results you want from shaving alone without rash or red bumps. Finese with the razor is paramount in order to achieve your desired results. I use a twinblade razor to achieve a close shave without nicks. I have been shaving for years, and I no longer suffer from the previous mistakes I made by pressing too hard and/or shaving too fast that discolors your skin. I am at the point where my legs for example do not even need to be shaved everyday. The hair that does grow back is not harsh stubble. My hair now grows back slowly and is very soft. My hair has become very easy to shave. In my early days of shaving, the stubble was harsh. When hair removal becomes as systematic as brushing your teeth, you will find that you have the look you want.

I shy away from Veet and Nair because it bothers me to put a chemical that burns my hair off on my body. Shaving is simple, and far less expensive. All it requires is a gentle touch when you shave. Plenty of hot water and soap makes all the difference too

Practice makes perfect.

Love

Brenda

Hey Jess

Personally I haven't used veet but I have used nair. The nair for men seems to work better than the nair for women and I can use it everywhere except the face. But I have natrually oily skin so if you find that it burns perhaps try some skin moisturizer the night before. And yea it does leave the skin smooth but you may have to experiment with how long you leave it on.

BTW I wouldn't recommend leaving it on past what the directions say or applying it over once a day.

I have now got an epilator which I love but that is quite painfull the first few times you use it. It does a wonderful job and is much cheaper in the long run.

epilators look scary

[Guest Donna Jean]

Yeah!

A friend (?) showed one to me a few weeks back and ran it over my arm.....YEOW!

DANG it hurts!

It basically rips the hairs out.....and of course they don't come back as heavy...there're scared!

Me, too!

That same friend attacked me with her torture device as well!

And up until then I thought that she loved me.

Apparently like Brenda with her shaving, Lizzy has gotten used to the feel of having her hair ripped out by the roots in rapid succession.

I don't know how long that would take for me but I don't think that I will ever know.

I have used Nair before but I was never that much happier with the results than shaving but my legs did stay smoother for much longer.

Love ya,

Sally

Aww come on

After a few weeks you don't even feel it, and no cuts or bumps. Just smooth skin.

i grabbed myself a bottle of veet(green wierd shaped) hair remover stuff, so far it has worked fine "down there" and on my belly and chest- i don't really have that much hair on my chest but still got rid of all the little blonde hairs.

so far im happy
