Veet Leg and Body Hair Remover Cold Wax Strips, 40 Count

I have been having my legs waxed at a salon for 35 years, but due to the Coronavirus lockdown, I thought I would try the easygel wax strips. This was my first ever home wax. They are excellent, & removed all of my leg hairs. A lot of reviews state that they do not remove many hairs, & the wax stays on your legs. As long as the strip is rubbed down on the leg for about 10 seconds, before pulling off, it works brilliantly. I also used the same strips twice. My legs are really smooth, with no irritation. The wipes are good at removing any residue, after waxing. I will probably use these strips after lockdown ends, as they are cheaper than salon prices!!

Worth of money because you have a doubled 20wax strips which makes a total of 40.

1. Smallish section strips supplied (would have been better to have had full calf length strips or an opportunity to by various sizes or even a mix)2. Residue left after application. This needs washing off before going out or going to bed. I used the strips before bed time and found 20 minutes of time needed in order to 'scrub' off the wax. It didn't come off with just soap application or flannel use. I had to use a sponge with scrubbing back area in order to remove the various areas the wax decided to leave residue on.3. The strips need pulling apart from each other for application. I believe this lessens the wax ability as some strips may take wax from the other strip its attached to. You have to be very careful on pulling each strip from the other as it can catch your fingers or other (around or by you). When the strips are separated you need to put the other strip (not yet being used) carefully to one side (if you can get it away from your fingers if it somehow clings to you)4. Didn't remove all hairs. Re-application and still hairs stayed. The instructions claim the strips can be used over a few times but to be honest once or twice used.....lose the strip and pull removal aspect - so hardly worth using if going in for more than a 2nd reapplication.5. Tried a strip on my arms and the hairs there are finer and after 2 days have not returned. On the legs, not a similar hoped for response. The legs have some hairs left and others gone and others starting to grow.Overall, a quite expensive hair removal that for me wasn't ideal for removing leg hair (on the calf areas). The strips are too short. You need to remember where you applied the last strip when carrying on with hair removal. Time consuming, messy stick wax residue that was stubborn to shift. Not removed all hair, some remained. Did I correctly follow instructions...yes I did.I daresay will work for others (as the reviews show hence influencing the decision to purchase) but for me (and others) a result that wont see my returning to purchase.Back to the epilator or foam removal cream. Both these applications have drawbacks such as epilating can be a bit painful and Veet removal foam application can tend to burn a bit (whilst on and a bit after being showered off ). The good old fashioned razor sees to quick instant hair remover but hairs grow back stubbly and make your legs prickly. Going to a beautician is pricey!Lots of hair removal products on the market but thankfully I tend to get away with hair removal due to having blonde leg hair so until there is a method that doesn't cause pain, burn or fast grow back or poor results then like the majority of us waiting for the right product to come on the market.

Great

Thank you.

I can't get a product as perfect as hot wax but this works ok. Pleased
