Has anyone here tried Veet, or any other hair removal cream/lotion? What did you like or dislike? What would you recommend?

I've tried Nair before, and was not a fan. I ended up having to shave areas where the hair was not fully removed. Not to mention the unpleasant burning/tingling sensation it caused during and after use!

Just looking for experiences and oppinions to share...

Thanks!

I don't care for them either! I have a bottle of 3 minute Nair (I'm allergic to it and it makes me itch and I can't stand any slower), but I never use it. Actually if I use the Nair, it still feels a bit stubbly. I tried Veet Bladeless Razor and was very disappointed. I kept it on for the maximum time (10 minutes) and it did not remove a single hair! I have no idea why.. I do want to buy an epilator so I have longer lasting results.

I really think that hair removal creams need the hair to be long for it to be even a little bit effective, and even then in my experience i ended up shaving spots-- like i mentioned in the original post. What a shame! Shaving sucks.. my hair grows back so quickly. i have really dark and thick hair and even a day later its noticable. *sigh* And razor burn.. ugh.

I've never tried waxing.. but i have a feeling that it would be similar to any cream.. that'd you end up with patches of hair! And ouch!

One day I'll be insanely rich and able to afford an electrolosist!

.... it's nice to have dreams... haha.

I've tried multiple hair removal products and I have found that different types work on different areas of my body. The only place I use the creams (nair) is for upper lip hair. Mine is barely visible but I'd rather have none than any at all. I get brazillian bikini waxes and even though they hurt, they get rid of everything! The only problem is you tend to get more ingrown hairs from waxing then shaving which is why I don't wax my legs or any other area. I have found that shaving, even though it can be a pain, is the best for your legs. The epilator (or epilady, which is the brand I have) works well to remove leg hair but it hurts like hell because it plucks the hair out at the root like shaving but takes way longer.
