Veet Depilatory Cream

It's time again for Liz's Once in a Blue Moon Product Review for Womankind! *applause*

Today I tested out Veet's Hair removal gel cream that comes with a mock razor for removing the goop so it's kind of like you're still shaving but you're really not so I don't know what all the fuss is aboot. Yes I said "aboot".

Ok so the item itself ran a little over $7 at Walmart and comes in Aloe Vera (the one I bought) and some other calming/soothing scent that still offends your nostrils just like Nair does when it tries to cover up it's rotten egg smell, albeit not as badly as Nair does it. Progress?

The 5.1oz can provides repeated uses if you're skinny, or if you're a fat chick like me you get about 1.5 uses out of it. The directions are straight forward: apply evenly to body hair you want to remove hair from (avoiding the genital area and not putting it on your face), wait a minimum 3 minutes and a maximum 6 minutes. Use said 'faux razor' to remove the depilatory goop from the affected areas.

Well, it's pretty much like shaving since you're still slathering on something and still rinsing this fake razor under running water.

The end result: incredibly smooth legs. Granted I found a few stubbly hairs that were strong enough to survive the chemical torture but I can hack those with a razor in the shower tomorrow no big deal. Or maybe I should laud them for their strength and unwillingness to meet the fate of their colleagues.

Either way, I was fuzzy...now I'm not.

Granted if I lived in a colder climate I'd be questioning why the heck I did this since my legs would be freezing the first time I go outside but living in a warm climate I can now wear shorts and not embarrass myself.

That works for me. :)

That's my girl!

LOL...you never fail to put a smile on my face!

Let me ask you this, though....

How long lasting is one use? I mean, after you do it...how long before another chemical spill on one's legs?

I've been wanting to give a product like this a try and you've given me the impetus to do it....if it lasts more than a couple of days!

Thanks, Honey!

Thanks for the review, Lizzie. I'm glad it worked out for you

It doesn't sound like it burned or irritated your skin either. I'll keep that in mind.

I found shaving to be not too gruesome an exercise, but its always good to

have options.

You do need to wack those stubbon hairs though. If they remain, they will lead the

resistance with the new hairs and give them hope, and then you'll have a hairy

revolution on your hands (legs, actually :D ).

The bottle said to wait about 72 hours between applications. That sounds about right, too. Have to give the skin time to recover.

Ok ladies, I tried the other scent of this item with the exact same results both in hair removal and in offending the nostrils.

..actually it doesn't small as bad as Nair.

Small word of advice, if you apply this product on the back of your knees, be sure to stand or extend your legs while this product is working. I didn't and now I have a little dark chemical burn line across the back of my knee.

:o

and here I thought the adage "It burns because it's working" was true. Well I guess it was, it did work....

Back to your regularly scheduled forum, and remember: chin up, boobs out and smile!

      Good Friday Morning    I will be spending a good portion of my day at church today.  I don’t know how any of my family would have been with me.  They all passed before I figured myself out.  I often think my mother and sister may have figured it out before I did but maybe it was just my depression that they saw.  I don’t know and never will.  My grandfather Young unconditionally loved me but he passed when I was 9.   Same with my wife’s parents, both gone before.  We’ve never had the greatest relationship with my wife’s brother but we do see them occasionally.  They words and actions aren’t always in sink when it comes to me.   Sour kraut or boil cabbage were never big even with my parents so that was something we were never expected to eat.  Nor was anything with mustard.  My mother hated mustard and it turns my stomach. My wife tried to sneak it into things early in our marriage but I could always tell.  She stopped after a while.   well I wave to go get ready to go to church.  I have a committee meeting at 10 and then we have a Good Friday Service at noon.   Willow

      Good morning everyone,   @KymmieLI hope you're misreading your bosses communications. As you say keep plugging a long. Don't give them signs that you're slow quitting, just to collect unemployment.   I have a few things to do business wise, and will be driving to the St. Louis, MO area for two family gatherings.   Have a great day,   Mindy🌈🐛🏳️‍⚧️🦋

      Good morning everyone, TGIFF   It seems like I am the one keeping or shop from being the best. According to the boss. I don't know if my days are numbered or not. But anymore I am waiting for the axe to fall. Time will tell.   I keep plugging a long.   Kymmie

      What is relaxation to you? Nature? Movie? Reading? Cuddling with a pet? Music?

      Having just a normal emotional day.

      AMUSEMENT The feeling when you encounter something silly, ironic, witty, or absurd, which makes you laugh. You have the urge to be playful and share the joke with others. Similar words: Mirth Amusement is the emotional reaction to humor. This can be something that is intended to be humorous, like when someone tells a good joke or when a friend dresses up in a ridiculous costume. But it can also be something that you find funny that was not intended to be humorous, like when you read a sign with a spelling error that turns it into an ironic pun. For millennia, philosophers and scholars have been attempting to explain what exactly it is that makes something funny. This has led to several different theories. Nowadays, the most widely accepted one is the Incongruity Theory, which states that something is amusing if it violates our standards of how things are supposed to be. For example, Charlie Chaplin-style slapstick is funny because it violates our norms of competence and proper conduct, while Monty Python-style absurdity is funny because it violates reason and logic. However, not every standard or norm violation is necessarily funny. Violations can also evoke confusion, indignation, or shock. An important condition for amusement is that there is a certain psychological distance to the violation. One of the ways to achieve this is captured by the statement ‘comedy is tragedy plus time’. A dreadful mistake today may become a funny story a year from now. But it can also be distant in other ways, for instance, because it happened to someone you do not know, or because it happens in fiction instead of in real life. Amusement also needs a safe and relaxed environment: people who are relaxed and among friends are much more likely to feel amused by something. A violation and sufficient psychological distance are the basic ingredients for amusement, but what any one person find funny will depend on their taste and sense of humor. There are dozens of ‘humor genres’, such as observational comedy, deadpan, toilet humor, and black comedy. Amusement is contagious: in groups, people are more prone to be amused and express their amusement more overtly. People are more likely to share amusement when they are with friends or like-minded people. For these reasons, amusement is often considered a social emotion. It encourages people to engage in social interactions and it promotes social bonding. Many people consider amusement to be good for the body and the soul. By the end of the 20th century, humor and laughter were considered important for mental and physical health, even by psychoneuroimmunology researchers who suggested that emotions influenced immunity. This precipitated the ‘humor and health movement’ among health care providers who believed that humor and laughter help speed recovery, including in patients suffering from cancer1). However, the evidence for health benefits of humor and laughter is less conclusive than commonly believed2. Amusement is a frequent target of regulation: we down-regulate it by shifting our attention to avoid inappropriate laughter, or up-regulate it by focusing on a humorous aspect of a negative situation. Interestingly, amusement that is purposefully up-regulated has been found to have the same beneficial physical and psychological effects as the naturally experienced emotion. Amusement has a few clear expressions that emerge depending on the intensity of the emotion. When people are mildly amused, they tend to smile or chuckle. When amusement intensifies, people laugh out loud and tilt or bob their head. The most extreme bouts of amusement may be accompanied by uncontrollable laughter, tears, and rolling on the floor. Most cultures welcome and endorse amusement. Many people even consider a ‘good sense of humor’ as one of the most desirable characteristics in a partner. At the same time, most cultures have (implicit) rules about what is the right time and place for amusement. For example, displays of amusement may be deemed inappropriate in situations that demand seriousness or solemness, such as at work or during religious rituals.
