I have always been a razor girl, so it was interesting for me to get to trial these wax strips. With the wax being made from sustainably sourced Pine tree Resin they certainly sounded interesting. They also have hemp seed oil to calm the skin and it has no fragrance.
My pack contained 40 wax strips and 4 after care wipes. Following the instructions I warmed the strips between my hands for a few seconds and then peeled them apart and attached them to my lower legs. I was a little nervous when it came time to remove them simply because pain is not my thing, but as long as you follow the instructions and remove the strips swiftly and pull them along like a zip rather then pulling away from the body, I then found there was very little pain and that it was more discomfort then pain. Certainly not a big deal at all. After completing my hair removal for my legs from knee to ankle, I then gave them both a rub over with one of the aftercare wipes. I washed my legs and dried them only to find that I still had sticky wax left on my skin. I went over my legs with baby oil and a cotton pad and again washed and dried but I kept finding patches of wax. Every time I thought I had solved the wax issue I found more. It took me a while to get it all off.
My legs were left lovely and soft and of course hair free but it certainly did take some effort and for me personally I think I will stick with my razor.
If razors are not for you and you are happy to spend some time making sure your legs are wonderfully hair free then certainly give these strips a go.
