Veet Wax

Spent £15 on warm wax today. Having followed all the instructions on the tub, my poor husband is now very patchy and unimpressed.
However, had I been successful in my waxing, I can't see him being any more impressed...

    Is that the microwave stuff?! I used it on my OH (lower back - no where else!!) and it worked really well!

    Yeah, in a blue tub. We followed all the instructions, (hair length, wax thickness, direction of pull, area of wax etc) and it was poo. It did his bottom ok, but was completely pants on his chest, just left patches etc.

    I don't remember it being blue, more yellow. I think I used THIS one, which had re-usable linen strips with it.

    OH wouldn't let me near the chest hair. He also though waxing was a breeze compared to the epilator!

    It brought tears to my eyes just reading this thread (and they're not through laughter).... :rotfl:

    I once used the waxing strips they make. You're supposed to simply warm them in your hand and away you go.

    All I ended up with was wax stuck all over my legs. Didn't remove a single hair.

    There is no way I would let my wife anywhere near me with wax, not happening, never, no way, I hate pain especially my own. Why would you want to wax your hubby?

    Yes that was the worst bit! Luckily it came with some wipes that were supposed to remove any leftover residue - unfortunately they weren't designed to remove the entire strip of wax!

    Worst invention ever.
