As most people, I tried waxing and was disapointed with the results. I saw Nad's on an infomercial and picked it up, hoping it'd be better than normal bees wax. The gel only took out hairs which were already loose, and took awhile to use. It hurt a little, but not as much as normal wax. The only good thing about this product is that when you're done trying to use it, it's easy to wash off & doesn't leave sticky residue.
