Glaze Waxing Kit with Lavender, 6 oz Jar Sugar Wax Kit with 18 Reusable Fabric Strips, Alternative to Wax Strips & Laser Hair Removal for Women/Men, For Whole Body, Bikini & Face

First of all, let me say that I'm disabled; my disability makes it a challenge to control my body. Secondly, I'm on blood thinners, so I bruise easy. Thirdly, this was my first ever waxing. I stopped shaving the end of last summer because it had become such a mess. No matter what I did, I didn't have enough control to keep from nicking myself all over the place and being on blood thinners, it looked like a brutal murder had taken place for hours afterwards. My biggest concerns about waxing were about being able to rip the strips off properly, the bruising and the pain. This morning I set everything up and prepared for a long agonizing process and found it not to be so at all! I'm thinking since I haven't shaved in a while (which in Arizona, the end of summer is like November when it finally cools off enough.) so perhaps the hair was finer than if I had been shaving. My first challenge was keeping the wax warm enough for me to be able to spread, which of course is a challenge for me anyways. Being disabled, constantly going to the micro wasn't really an option. I would have worn myself out too much to finish. Keep in mind it's 78 degrees in here and yet I couldn't keep the product warm enough to spread easily enough. I solved that by turning off the overhead fan and I put the product jar in a bowl with warm water. I put the strip on and clenched for anticipated agony. Rip. Huh, that was no big deal at all! Since this was my first time, I didn't want to invest too much in this option in case it didn't work out, but I plan on getting a warmer for next time, and there will definitely be a next time! The next issue to solve was a bit of a sticky mess. This is mostly due to my bodily issues; I found that my hands were getting a bit sticky when I was rubbing the strip before pulling, but also when my body was jerking around, I was getting the product all over my arms, hands and oxygen tubing. This was easily solved by having a damp wash cloth next to me. I don't imagine others will have to deal with this quite the same way I do, but you may find your hands get sticky and the damp wash cloth will be very handy. I probably used more wax then most people might, even still, if I used this same amount again, it looks like I would have at least four more leg waxings. I expect I will be using less next time, as I found that I didn't need to spread more product on each time, but just put the strip with some wax already on it onto the next section, rub it to warm the product, wait a moment for it to cool, and then rip again and repeat until it wasn't sticky enough. As I mentioned above, I was concerned about the pain and the bruising. The pain was quite tolerable for me, in the most sensitive areas it was perhaps a 3 or 4 in the pain scale where 10 is the worst. I mention again the blood thinners cause me to bruise when the wind blows, however I found that I had little bruising. I tried to position my leg to keep the skin as tight as I could and then didn't need to try to use my hand to keep it taught except for a couple of places, but I didn't make the skin taught there and thus received a bit of mottled bruising. This being my first time, I figured out not to do that again and therefore it wasn't an issue anymore. I put some Arnica Cream on and it's not that big of a deal actually. I guess there was one more concern, my red-headed daughter tried to get professionally waxed and ended up very red, irritated and bruised. I have very sensitive skin and found there is no irritation or redness whatsoever. I was also a bit concerned, this being my first time, and I've never even been professionally waxed, but I found the instructions to be very adequate and the process simple. My legs feel silky soft and pretty. Even though this was my first time and thus I would expect it to take longer to do the whole thing, it probably took less than an hour, but in my case, the need to move back and forth to get things (re-heat the product, get a damp wash cloth, etc) then having to rest in between is what took most of the time. Next time I will have a warmer and everything set up at the start and my guess is that it will take about 20 minutes, including having to clean up from body jerks into the product. This was wonderfully easy and I have great results! I chose this product because of the reviews stating that they had minimal redness, easy clean-up and good results. I'm not disappointed, in fact I am extremely pleased and would recommend this to anybody interested in being waxed.

I was pretty excited to try this product. Like most people, I get sick of shaving pretty quickly and decided to use this as an alternative to straight up waxing, which I have had bad experiences with. To get this out of the way, regardless of the reviews I read, I was expecting it to be messy, to hurt, and to not do the entire job. However I expected a heck of a lot more than what I actually got. I followed the instructions to a T. First off, heating it only ten seconds did not do a thing to it, it was a terrible mess. When heated up for about 30 seconds it got to a workable consistency. I tried it on my face, stomach, and bikini area just like the directions said by applying a very thin layer, rubbing over the strip, then pulling. I found it worked a little bit better if I waited for about a minute before removing the strip. It got none of the fuzz on my face, which I wasn't too surprised about because they are pretty fine. Next I tried my bikini area. It hurt like hell. It pulled out maybe half of the hairs, some other hairs simply snapped, and it left a massive mess and I was even bleeding. Not to mention my skin got extremely red and the next day I had red spots everywhere the hair did come out and the area was painful to the touch. Finally I decided to give it another try on my stomach, an area with hairs easier to pick up than my face but less sensitive than my bikini area. The same thing happened. This time it got maybe 1/4 of the hair and left me messy and bleeding. I can only even tell that I used the stuff because where I used it is all red. I will admit that I have sensitive skin. It's too sensitive to use products like Nair. However this stuff was equally as bad. The pain and mess were certainly not worth the few hairs that it managed to pull out.

For years, I have dealt with a bit of unwanted facial hair, and have in the past most often used bleach or a chemical depilatory, like Nair. I stopped using Nair about 12 years ago when it burned my skin (the skin peeled) and left a scar that I have to this day and has only gotten deeper as I've aged. With the bleach, I always have felt like I was sniffing toxic chemicals when applied to my upper lip. Never having waxed (I'm too cheap for a salon), I heard about "sugaring" and Moom, and decided, for the price, to give it a try. I can't believe how well it works. First, it doesn't hurt. Well, maybe just barely. I was terrified it would pull my skin off and even planned my first use of it to preceed a 10-day camping trip. But no problems at all - no redness, no hurt skin, no nothing - except a smooth upper lip for the first time in a long time. In terms of use, I do not have a microwave so I had to heat it on the stove in a pot of hot water which was not a problem at all. It was easy to apply. The directions instruct you to apply it warm, but not hot. They say to heat it up until the consistency of the product is that of honey. I have used it warmed to honey consistency and I have used it heated to runny honey, and actually it seems to be more effective if you heat it a bit more than they recommend - to the consistency of runny honey, that is. If you do, it will go on a little hotter so you do have to be careful that it isn't TOO hot, or it could burn your skin. Also, keep in mind I use it almost exclusively for upper lip hair, so it may be that the higher temp and runnier consistency allows the goo to adhere better to the shorter, finer hairs on the face. Also, the instructions say to apply the strip to the skin where the goo has been spread, but not to rub it vigorously or it will seep through the strip. I have actually found, after having used the product for a couple of months, that on the face, it works best if you DO rub it vigorously, and let it cool off and harden for 20-30 seconds or so before attempting to pull it off. Funny as this may sound, it is really quite rewarding to look on the little strips once you have pulled it off and see the hair you have successfully removed. One thing I really like is that your skin just washes clean when you are done, the ingredients are natural, and the strips are reusable. Plus, if it doesn't remove all the hair, just put more of the goo on the spot to which you want to remove the hair, and try again. It barely hurts so you can do it again and again in the same spot with little pain. It really does sound too good to be true, I am sure. But I couldn't be happier and am so glad I have found a solution that doesn't involve chemicals.

There are so many good things about Moom and only one bad thing. First the good things....It has natural ingredients in that are not harsh on the skin. It smells good. It's very easy to use. it definately does a good hair removal job and gets rid of hair without ripping the top layer of skin off. No nasty rashes afterwards. Also its easy to clean up any sticky patches with water so no need to buy extra expensive oils like you do with waxing. Plus you can wash and re-use the strips again! Ok the bad thing about Moom is that it's not available to buy in Boots or Superdrug. Why not? This stuff is way better than stinky Veet and all those awful chemical hair removers.

The item took nearly 1 month to arrive. When it finally arrived, I followed the directions for use. Overall, was able to remove leg hair using the wax and strips. But the overall effort required and the actual results did not add up for me. I like the idea of reusable strips and an organic approach. However, I need stuff that works with a bit less fuss. Rather buy normal wax strips after this experience.

I’ve tried a couple products and have been scared away from home waxing. This was by fair the best product I’ve ever used! The pain was so much more manageable and effective removal. I like that you wash the strips after to use again

Just have to heat it up 10 seconds and it's easy to apply. Easily washes off with water.

Moom hair removal is the best I’ve ever tried. You don’t have to heat the wax it’s awesome
