    I've used two products - one of which I know is available here in the UK. The other was an Australian brand.

    Nads for Men and Veet for Men


    Depending on the scope of what you want removed - waxing may be worth looking at also.

    It depends on where you want to remove hair from.

    I've always found that most hair removal creams are useless they don't seem to remove all of the hair.

    I use to use veet when I was about 13/14 (Immac) But after using it for about 6months to a year it caused a bad rash on my lower left leg, even though I used the sentive one. That patch of skin still gets very dry at times now and I have to be careful what I use now, as at times it can still cause irriation.

    I must admit when i used veet(immac) it did go a great job at removing hairs and it stayed smoth for a good 2/3weeks, but for some reason one day I just reacted badly to it, even though it had only been on my leg for the time it stated on the tube.

    mine doesn't stay smooth for that long, but i do use it on my downstairs bits.

    you might want to do a test piece thingy before to check you don't react to it. but then the poster above me...shows you can have a reaction any time.
