THE PRODUCT
Veet EasyGrip Ready-To-Use Cold Wax Strips
STEPS
1. Make sure your underarms are clean, dry and free of any deodorant, creams and oils. For best results, apply some talcum powder before waxing to ensure they’re completely dry.
2. Rub the double wax strip between your hands to make it easy to separate. Then, carefully pull the strips apart using the rounded, Easy Grip tab.
3. Put your hand behind your head to expose your underarm. Then smooth one strip onto your skin, making sure the Easy Grip tab points in the same direction as your hair growth.
4. Rub the strip several times in the same direction as your hair growth to make sure the wax adheres properly.
5. Grasp the Easy Grip tab and pull the strip backwards in the opposite direction of your hair growth.
Quick tip: fold the strip over if you find it easier to work with smaller amounts of wax. You can re-use each strip until it loses its stickiness.
6. Continue waxing in consistent sections so you don’t miss any hairs and then repeat the process on the opposite underarm.
7. Once you’ve finished waxing, clean away any wax left on your skin with a Perfect Finish wipe.

Ouch! Some areas I’m happy to wax, but under arms hurts too much. I just shave.

I feel like this will hurt too much, although I have lots of friends who wax their underarms.

The best way to have amazing smooth underarms is to laser it all away! But if you are going to wax it then make sure you are using the correct products and not something dodgy from a random store make sure you're buying the quality products like veet from priceline or the chemists.
Also make sure you don't exfoliate after you wax because your skin is sensetive

I just shave it every third or fourth day, so waxing would last longer

Its so important to get tab and pull the strip backwards in the opposite direction of your hair growth as this achieves best results!.

Waxing underarms looks fairly easy. I generally use an epilator its great for hair removal.

It looks so easy in this video, but I know it's not. I use my epilator to remove my underarm hair, and because I've been doing that for so long, it's not painful, doesn't take long and there's no stickiness from the wax.

Waxing just scares me. Even though it looks easy I get scared about pulling the strip. I'll stick to shaving.

I've done underarm waxing like twice and it was painful but did the job. However, on my recent try it left my underarms itching like hell and i've been put off ever since!!

I use my epilator. I'm not sure how to hold the skin taut enough to wax...
