Have to say it is quite painful, perhaps not as bad as waxing though.
It is a natural remedy which is sugar based you warm the tub in a bowl of boiling water until it gets runny then spread with a spatula, use cotton strips to rip off ( like waxing) but is better for the skin than waxing.
It also removes dead skin cells so leaves skin very soft.
Have only found this in the Body Shop.

No rash, skin quite red immediately after use though, not sure how long it takes for regrowth, will let you know.

Auntie Pink,

I'm so sorry - I didn't see you post till now - I missed it! :(
Please don't think I was ignoring you.
(Here's some cyber flowers by way of an apology... :thanks )

I can't put Vicks under my nose - Vicks burns me - even the snuffle babe one does.
(Told you - I'm a delicate flower! :rofl )

You've given me an idea though - I use Olbas Oil for colds etc, so I could try that instead of Vicks
couldn't I?

thanks for that Auntie Pink. :D

Olbas oil sounds good, anything that stinks will work ;)

ooh, I once tried waxing my own bikinin line, OH, MY GOD ! the pain !!! It was the night before going on hols and oh, yes, there was blood ! took the whole of my first layer of skin off, what a mess ! had to wear my shorts for the first few days, then the itching after that as it grew back with a vengeance ! never again, now, if I have time, get it done professionally ( always my first choice, lasts much longer ) or nair hair removal, but as milly says, the smell makes me gag ! blimey, who'd be a woman !!!

Ok ladies,

Have any of you ever tried Nair's Sensitive Formula Gel Cream , which according to a magazine I have just read,
penetrates the hair shaft more quickly than most creams made for sensitive skins.

But more importantly (for me anyway IF it's right...)

It's free of the ingredient responsible for the pong you usually associate with hair removal creams!!!!! :really

Do you think this could be the one???? :hyper
