Nad's For Men Body Wax Strips

Too weak. Sticks to hair but wax comes off strip leaving a waxy hairy mess and a strip with nothing on it....... These actually work very well. I took a shower and exfoliated my chest after getting dried in used these and they work great. First time I used them I didn't do the prep work so it was all me. Left original post up because I was wrong and admit it.

Directions and use of the product is simple and straightforward. However, it did next to nothing for me in my hair removal attempts. I am amazed that something so sticky and painful removed so little hair. It stuck to my skin so well that I was red and sore for a few hours after use. Removing the residue was difficult but the included wipes worked well to get it all eventually. Unfortunately, less than 25% of my hair (inner thigh and lower back) was removed, even after multiple attempts. Overall, I am very displeased with this product. I assume that it would work on very, very thin hair - which I do not have.

A bunch of negative reviews on here show some poor preparation and limited patience. I have tried others and this one is better because of the fabric-like material that carries the wax - conforms better and is softer than other plastic types. Also beats the hassle and mess of bottles and crap. Here's the problem guys: If you try to pull long hair out with wax strips, it is not going to work, it will hurt, and it will leave loads of messy wax all over the place. They tell you to use it on short hairs. So what you do is lightly shave your hair so it is short - about 1/4" to 1/2". THEN use the wax strips. Also, you really need to pull in the opposite direction of your hair growth, very close to the skin, and with a super fast snap. Don't do it on a "clean" body. Plan to do it just before you shower. That way the wax will be pulling on the natural oils of your skin and some dead skin which reduces the "grab". If you do it on clean skin, it will grab harder and therefore be more painful. When I first tried these things I had the same reactions guys on here say: OUCH! what a mess! how many times do I have to rip to get all the hair out!? That is because I was doing it all wrong. And if you do it right and repeat I guarantee it is not nearly as painful as it was in your first "trial" run. After I realized how to do it to avoid being painful, I actually got the guts to use it places my girlfriend wanted! Also, I have a whole bunch of extra finishing wipe packets used for wiping off the wax. There is plenty if you don't throw the wax strips all over the place. Come on, just stick it on your chest or whatever, snap it off, then I just stick them to each other when finished, stick them back into the box and throw it out. If you do it right, there is usually only a small bit of wax left on your skin once in awhile and I need only one wipe to clean off from one full body session. And it does work over time - I need to do it less and less now and it is a lot easier than in the beginning. So "MAN UP" guys - do your homework and you won't have any trouble. UPDATE: A friend prompted me to add a couple things since this is such a popular review- 1. The strips work better when warm. You can warm them in your hands like the instructions say but I set the pile under a light or in the sun to get them a little warmer than just between my hands. There is a sweet spot - too warm and they are too soft and won't grab, too cold and they are trouble. 2. Not all hairs grow in the same direction. When they do, snap the strip in the opposite direction. There are a few spots on my body where the hairs are sprouting in all different directions. So I snap in one direction and then go over the same spot and snap in the opposite direction. This gets most of it. But I would not do the same spot more than twice. The skin can get raw and you might hurt yourself. For some folks with more sensitive skin, they may only be able to do one snap in a session. You just have to find what works for you. 3. Always be sure to stretch your skin in the opposite direction from where you are snapping the strips. Snapping without tension on your skin is asking for trouble. Good luck!

This was the first waxing hair removal product I have ever used. First of all, I am a male trying to get rid of thick excess body hair, and I'm sick of shaving. Its just really ineffective and you get a stubble the next day or so. I have a small epilator, but it is just too loud (therefore my family can hear) So far I've used this 3 or 4 times on my stomach and chest, here's what I got: Pros: * portable * NO MICROWAVE NEEDED --> the reason I bought it * includes pre-wax and post-wax wipes * individual hairs don't grow back for several weeks Cons: * not very effective. Removes 30%-60% of hairs depending on the area, but that 40% is still going to be really visible. * PAINFUL * not enough wipes for multiple uses * Somewhat damaging. Left a lot of bruises, and essentially RIPPED off my top layer of skin The verdict: if you need something discreet, can stand the pain, and don't want to use any form of heated wax, this is a good product--but be aware of its limitations After trying this, I switched to sugaring. The results are better and its less painful. The only advantage this current product has is that it can be used right out of the box without heating.

I really wanted to get rid fo some body hair for a beach trip this summer and ordered this product. I have never waxed or done any kind of hair removal stuff other than shaving, so I was interested. I applied the first strip and pulled. It hurt like a B!TCH. I almsot cried out, but didn't want my roommates to know what I was doing. I eventually finished, and was hairless like it promised. But I did have two problems other thatn the pain, which I kinda knew to expect. 1. The wax is increadibly had to get off of anything it touches. I dropped one on accident and my carpet is still sticky. They provide a pad that cleans excess from the skin, but only two. 2. That Pad that removes the wax, super oily. I gues I should have expected it, but an hour after I had waxed and applied the pad, I was still just as oily, but the pads are veryt soothing. I would definetly reccommend this to anyone who wants to was unwanted hair of their bodies

For someone who is mentally hearing on the arms and below the belly button and such, I feel after spending hundreds of dollars as salon and trying to do laser treatment, which is over costly, and when someone who really does it on their own, I’ve never have after researching and reading about how hard this must be when you watch the videos and I will tell you that they and themselves are true to state This product is actually amazing instead of between your palms get hot mug of water and just rabbit around the mug a couple times versus the palm of your hands. How do use one strip seven times on my upper arms and it’s actually amazing the results that you see from this product alone I recommended highly I have left to use the creams for the meds as well as the rest of my body because the strips themselves I was skeptical about home waxing this is amazing. I recommend a mug of water hot wrapped around it vigorously three or four times and you would be amazed at the results. Absolutely by this product I highly recommend it. I really review anything. I’ve never done this on my on my own. This is a very first time in years. I’ve waxed my own self again. You will never be disappointed. If if you do it properly it will give you exactly what it says. It does the most amazing smooth skin and the results are outstanding.

Does not work at all! I got them and follow the instructions even watched the videos in here and literally didnt removed one hair off the area however it did left all the residue in my skin leaving avlue patch that was so hard to get read of that it makes no sense, even after applying oils and using them wipes they put in the package it continues to be so sticky I was so over it do not buy this i literally throw them in the trash right after I was able to somehow take it off

It does work somewhat. But nowhere near as good as it did many years ago. Now there is usually quite a bit of glue left on the area you wax it with and it is hard to remove. It is frustrating. Def not as good as years ago. I’m moving on from Nad’s.
