Surgi Wax Brazilian Hard Wax Waxing Kit for Private Parts, 4 Ounce Boxes (Pack of 3)

I got this on a whim because I was feeling motivated to get my bikini line in order with waxing vs shaving. Now... idk if the previous comments have balls/vaginas of steel but I tried doing it exactly as the instructions said (minus a pain med and it wasn't right after my cycle) and it HURTS. I got most of what I needed but I couldn't do everything because I started loosing my self motivation each rip haha. Now, I have sensitive skin and didn't have a reaction and it was very convenient being able to wax with the wax itself vs using cloth/paper strips. I will probably try again but next time I'll be using a pain med and maybe right after my cycle since they say that's supposed to help with pain. As of right now I still definitely recommend getting this for waxing if you're looking for something convenient that will do the job. May God be with you.

This stuff is awesome. It's the only thing I've ever used for waxing private parts, although I've used other methods of depilation, such as shaving and an epilator (ouch, that hurts like the devil). When you shave you end up with annoying stubble in at least a day, for me usually within a few hours. When you use an epilator, sometimes the hair isn't grasped well, and the device slides along the hair causing a vibration that hurts WORSE than the hair being taken away. This stuff grabs the hair very low and pulls it out without slipping. I don't even need to go over the same area twice. There's no breaking, no slipping, no nothing, just rip it off, and all the hair is gone, root and all. If a hair gets missed, it's probably because it was too short to begin with. Those are easy to take care of with a tweaser.Only thing is I feel like there isn't enough of that oil that comes with it. It's great oil, but you gotta treat it sparingly or it won't be enough to last for the jar of wax. Maybe I'm just using too much of it, but I also think for the wax experience itself you shouldn't be too stringent with it. It's an important part of the process. I haven't done anything about it myself, but I imagine you could actually buy that oil separately and that would probably be helpful. But this is a minor issue, I'm not going to drop the rating over it.Ok, TMI alert: a lot of people will tell you that you shouldn't do it during your cycle, and I think it's different for everyone, but for me it's easier when I do it during that time. Not in the first day or two, but after it starts to slow down. I think it has to do with the fact that I'm already dosed on a heck of a lot of pain killers (which I would take for waxing anyway, but perhaps not with such consistency and build up *shrug*) and also I think there's something to the fact that I'm already in pain elsewhere. Seems like I'm distracted or something. So I hardly even feel anything. But maybe that's just me.Take your time at first, go in small sections and work your way to larger ones as you get comfortable. In the beginning I actually used tweasers a little first just to get an idea of how much pain I was going to be in for. Everyone is different in this way. Although I think regardless of how much pain you have, mind over matter will get you through, you just have to be aware of how much pain to expect.Definitely take pain killers, this is important. It might not seem that important, but it really is. Not blood thinner painkillers like aspirin, as another post mentioned, but Tylenol, for instance. Until I started waxing I thought painkillers only worked on a constant pain because if I hurt myself, I still hurt. And perhaps there is some level of truth to this theory, because when you take the hair it DOES still hurt, but the intensity of the pain is WAAAAAYYYY better with a pain killer. Maybe some people will think I'm being a master of the obvious here, but maybe some others will be where I was a few years ago, and might find this enlightening, who knows.I have no microwave, but I have still been able to use this pretty effectively, and for those of you who are paranoid schizos like me who are afraid of radiation, you might find this useful! I put the container on a pan in the oven at the lowest possible temperature and wait probably half an hour. Then I pour the contents into a ceramic dish that I have dedicated specifically to that purpose and put it on the stove at the lowest possible temperature. I heat it until it's thin, then I shut it off when it starts to get a little too warm for comfort, then I turn it back on when it gets a little thicker than I want, etc. Works pretty darn well. I never have to stop and reheat if I pay attention to the state of the wax. When you're pouring from the plastic jar to the ceramic container, you may want to do that over a newspaper or something because it's kinda messy. And when that wax gets on something, say goodbye to whatever it is.If the wax DOES accidentally get on something important to you DO NOT TRY TO WIPE IT. It will just smear it around and it may become impossible to remove after that. Just let it sit there, it will become hard and then when you pick it off, all of it will come off.

A review from a guy's perspective:For waxing in general:Why would you wax? If you've never done any intimate hair removal, the smooth skin feels great. I think it looks great (on me and on women). You can find myriad sexual benefits if you spend a minute searching. If you've already decided to / already do some cleaning up down there, it's a lot simpler than shaving. It's a lot easier. Doing it at home is a lot cheaper ($14 for 7-8 months of wax vs 15 razor blades). There's a lot less maintenance (once a month compared with a few times a week!). Plus, as you wax more, the hair grows back thinner and finer.Some of the downsides:It's hard to wax around back without help. It's time consuming (about 30-45 minutes, but that's only once a month). You need to wait for your hair to grow back to 1/4" before you can wax again. It may lead to a few ingrown hairs (a bunch that get stuck but free themselves, and one or two that need to be helped out), but none that are painful. The ingrown hair problem can be helped with something like Tend Skin, which is meant to stop ingrown hairs. The first time you wax will hurt the most, but every subsequent time will hurt much less.For this product:I tried this out as an alternative to wax strips (Sally Hansen for Men). It's much, much better. There is a lot less pain (be honest: you're ripping hair out, it's going to hurt a bit), but it's more than bearable. It's close to pulling an adhesive bandage off your arm. If you read some of the reviews talking about how painful it is, I've got to say I think they didn't read the instructions and did it wrong. The instructions are pretty clear.The wax comes with an oil to put on your skin to prevent the wax from sticking to your skin so the wax only sticks to the hairs. This makes the process a lot easier on sensitive skin. The oil will stay on your skin for a few hours afterwards, but it's so little it doesn't stain anything. Definitely use the oil. I missed a spot once and it was pretty painful. There's more than enough oil to cover everything you're going to wax, so don't skimp. However, the first wax will hurt since there's a lot more hair with a lot more holding it in.This is a hard wax, so you don't need any cloth strips. You just apply the wax, wait about 30 seconds for it to cool, then peel it off. The trickiest part is flipping up the end of the wax so that it's big enough for you to grip and strong enough that it doesn't break. Although the wax is a bit thicker than honey, it doesn't make a mess. The wax will occasionally form a tiny filament between the applicator and the jar, but it cools quickly and falls off -- usually right back into the jar.One jar will last through about 2 1/2 waxings for your pubes, balls (use the wax a bit cooler there), and base of your penis. It's hard to get much more than that done without help from someone else.
