Milly-Molly, I bought some hair removing cream for my Daughter, I think the make was Nair and it was raspberry sented. It did smell a little more pleasant than some I've bought but I don't think you'll get any that hasn't got a trace of that distinctive smell. A bit like the tanning lotions even though they've improved them you can still smell that certain whiff.

I think you could be right...

Oh well, back to the "cotton wool up the nose and stay near the loo" then.... :sulk

And you lot!

Something else you could try Milly-Molly is adding a couple of drops of tea tree oil or lavender oil to the cream before you put it on. These are quite strong smelling and may overpower the nasty whiff they would also be good for the skin too ;)

:tup Thanks Shell! I'll give that a go!

Thank you! :)

Milly you've had me in stitches reading this thread! :rofl

I don't think there is a non-smelly hair remover but how about trying what the blokes from grimebusters do and rub some Vicks under your nose? I'm off to Turkey three weeks today so I might get brave and try that home wax kit... :yikes

You're very welcome Milly-Molly, lets hope it works ;)

What a great thread, been laughing my head off!
Everything that I have read is true...shaving rash is a pain and hair removal cream stinks!
I usually use hair removal cream the day before I go and then take a razor for the regrowth (although it's not usually bad after the cream). I find hair removal cream good as I don't get much of a rash but its down side is that it smells so bad. While I don't mind it too much my problem is that my husband hates the 'burning' smell. :rofl I have tried loads of different creams and am still yet to find one that doesn't have that awful smell!
I like the idea of waxing and that Veet tub that stemma described sound good (might give it a try) but have tried waxing in the past and it's always been rubbish. Think it's me rather than the product so does anyone have any tips for successful home waxing?

I have tried home waxing but never been successful at it. It's the pulling off the strips that I find so hard. The first one is ok, then I remember how painful it is, and can never pull any more off!! (does that make sense?) My hubby did offer to do it for me, but the evil glint he had in his eyes, put me off!!!! I go too the salon now and have it done, so much easier.......

I like the sugaring products from The Body Shop, like waxing but leaves your skin feeling so soft , a bit messy but I prefer it to wax.
