    Don't use it, or any veet products. They are the leg singeing, foul smelling devil. Oh and they are also rubbish :p

    someone else must find that they work! they've never burnt my skin or anything and remove the hairs perfectly. tis a little messy though.

    it hurt a bit, but it's just like having a plaster pulled off really and is over in seconds. i wasn't sore or anything after but my friend was sore for about a week. i'm a wuss and i'll be going back so it can't be that bad. and i only went 'ooh' and closed my eyes once.

    I tried the wax strips and they didn't really work for me. Was quite disappointed :(

    Epilators are the way forward...

    Mine works beautifully, I've only used it once and haven't dared my bikini line yet, but I love it.

    I've heard that epilators don't work.

    You cannot use epilators down below though can you?

    They do work, and yeah you can use them down below if you want but can i just say.


    OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

    even a bag a peas didn't make that bearable ;(

    works fine and pain free on under arms though :p

    Bought the veet rasera last week hopin it would work wonders....i thought considering how it said "product of the year" it would work!! well nope, its rubbish.....stunk to high heaven and got rid of like 3 hairs in total....and it cost 10 euro!!! I was well pissed off..... :impissed: Im so sick of razors, dont have the guts to go get a wax and i dont really want to spend about 15 euro on a home wax kit etc. and find it doesnt work!!

    I would love a professional wax but don't know which salons do the full works as in, they remove all the hair, not just tidy up the bikini line. I also don't think I could deal with the pain. When I waxed myself down below, I was in tears.


    you would be in tears if you did it yourself - no doubt you didn't really want to rip the thingy off quickly! just like a plaster really. i should think most places do a hollywood? when i was getting my brazilian i asked about it and you have to take your knickers off for that. not quite ready for that just yet.

    Veet is my enemy. I used it fine for about 3 years up until about two weeks ago actually burned my skin. ON MY FACE. Try explaining that to people :|

    Veet hair removal cream is terrible it removes the odd hair but that's just not good enough.

    I've been using Veet on my bikini line for a while now. It doesn't sting - I actually leave it on for 3 x the recommended time occasionally, which doesn't do me any damage, but I'm still left with stubble :impissed:. I have trouble shaving down there without getting a rash, though, and I'm too embarrassed to go for a wax.

    i always used to be, until a week ago! they don't see any of your bits though, you leave your knickers on and just hold them to the side while they get rid of your fluffy bits. ;)

    i tried the one with the bladless razor and to start with it worked really well...but the last time i used it, it burnt all my legs...2 days before i went on holiday :( i was left with marks for about a month :(
    i also have an epliator and it doesnt work AT ALL just pulls my hairs, but doesnt pull them out!
