just wondering if anyone has tried it? ive spoken to people before who say these hair removal creams dont work, but if they didnt wk surely they wouldnt make money and stay on the shelves?
i just seen an advert for shower stuff that stays on while u shower, somehow cant see that happening but anyway....
yeah so, anyone who has tried it i would appreciate your views

they are pretty expensive though, and use anywhere but my legs was rashtastic. i tried them on my pits once.
only once
Tis a wee bit messy but I always thought it was worth it. They shouldn't burn unless you have sensitive skin (in which case Veet have a special formula) or you leave it on too long - i never had any trouble with it burning. I only stopped using it in October because I went to uni and I found I used about half a tube every time I did my legs and armpits, and I buying that much was all a bit expensive once I had to pay rent too!!
If you're still put off then fair enough, but I'd say give it a go before you avoid it, a lot of people find it the best way, especially in terms of regrowth..
But there are plenty of bad sides too which is why i dont actually use it. It smells wierd, is quite messy, time consumuing. It didnt burn me and as butterflykisses said it should only burn if you have sensitive skin (for which there is a special cream) or you do it wrong.
I think you should try it because it might work for you.
I use Veet and have done for a few years (not every week, just occassionally). I personally find it fantastic if a little messy. It really does give you silky smooth legs. I experience a little bit of itchiness after each application but that's really to be expected and is less worse that waxing rash *ouch*.
The key here is to do a test patch 24 hours before application (as suggested in the instructions). If it irritates, don't use it.
i think that your hairs have to be quite thinish though or it doesnt work too well. Btwoteva, it'd recomend trying :thumb:
With me it felt really hot within a minute or so of application and then I jumped into the bath and attempted to get it off with cold water as quickly as I could but my skin had already started peeling off (like really bad sunburn) and was really sore... but the hair was still there!
I've just used the in shower one - my boilers broke so i can't have a bath, just showers, and the last time i attempted shaving my legs in a shower i dyed the bath red - so my mum bought it to see if it helped...
I'm impressed! There's a few random hairs left but they're rubbing off with the towel. I'm going to try it else where in a minute, but my legs are lovely and soft.
I can't check because it's all packed in my suitcase (because I'm going on holidayyyy)
veet didn't work for me.. i think it works best with very fine hairs like facial hairs... :no:
