Nad's Sugar Wax

Super product! I love the idea of waxing but I could never wax successfully and stress free (I first started with Veet strips, that left bruises on my skin and was a nightmare to clean up afterwards. I then found and tried sugar wax recipes online: they worked really well, but they take so much time for an uncertain result). I was looking for something that was healthy, easy to use and cheap, and found it all in this kit! The added touches of sustainability with the cotton strips and just the natural recipe made this even more perfect. As I explained, I’m really not a pro in waxing and had maybe done it like 4 times in my life before trying this, and I managed to use it with no problem. Works perfectly on the legs (as seen in my beautiful picture). A bit less perfect on the armpits, and I bled a little but that’s because my hair had become so thick from all the shaving so I’m not too worried about that, pretty sure the next few times will be fine. I am yet to try on my bikini area but I’m looking forward to it (whereas I dreaded this part with other waxes). One pot of wax can probably last for only one waxing of each of these accumulated body parts (so both legs, armpits as well as bikini in total once). The only negative point that I have found is that since the strips and applicators are reusable, I don’t really need to buy the full kit again, but I can’t seem to see an option of just buying the sugar wax for my next “session”. It would be a shame if I always had to buy the full kit, as the whole point of it is that its components are reusable. The other small issue was just that my room temperature was never enough so I had to go heat up the wax a few times during use, but I assume that it’s because of the general UK weather (I believe this is an Australian product so it’s normal that their room temperature is hotter).

Omg, look if you're new to waxing it will hurt. But my previous sugar wax was not in stock. I have waxed for 20 years. This smaller jar came. I thought rip off. I was scared to use. Yes the was was thick, so I did the 10 sec recommended. Wow, this little jar done more that most. I did my legs, brizilan, arms eyebrows, mastash, everywhere you can think. There is loads more. It was better than my previous sugar wax. I think I found my new favourite. No bleeding of strong hair. I wish someone would have told me about this product before. And the soap. Yes great idea. No one else does this. And yes we all make mistakes. But the soap was there to sort it out. I love this product. It is amazing. Thank you. Pain free waxing. And my hairs were long. That is the worst time to wax it makes you bleed. I have had no bleeding. And afterwards. My leg were silky soft. This is an amazing product. For new waxing people. I feel this to be the best to use. It will hurt. But, this product. I wish I had it 20 years ago. As for old waxers. Gosh, never felt my skin so smooth. Not the dry hard feeling. It felt like solon wax. And BTW, there was stl half the jar left. Amazing it goes so far. Really impressed x

As a self waxing beginner, I honestly didn't know what to expect. re: my legs - I always go to a lady that gives me the basic full leg and bikini wax. I'd say my pain threshold is slightly above average, so much so, I was able to do this by myself. I've used wax strips before now, but usually, they've been to only do my ankle area so my leg hair doesn't peep through the gap between my socks and pants! The product itself comes as described - a tub of wax, the sticks to apply, the cotton strips to remove, and a bar of 'pre-waxing' soap. I followed the instructions by cleansing my legs first. The wax itself wasn't warm enough to scoop up on the stick - so I popped it in the microwave for 15 secs. I found as I went along, that the consistency needed to be runnier than I initially thought and I needed to keep popping to the microwave to keep it runny enough to apply the right amount. Having watched several youtube videos of self waxing, I'd seen how to dip the stick, scoop it up and apply - and it worked as it should. Bearing in mind that I had full lockdown leg hair length- the wax removed it all from the root. I'd say the pain itself is the exact same as you'd get from a salon using normal wax and in my opinion. I've also seen reviews of this product where a lady uses her fingers to apply as a sugar wax would normally be applied - so perhaps this product is more versatile than you'd expect?!?!? I am just a beginner and my technique reflects that! My legs were left red and blotchy - which is normal for me. Any residue came off in the shower straight after, and my legs this morning were lovely and soft. This is where the product stands out for me. There was little to no residue in the first place, and my legs recovered quicker than from 'normal' wax at a salon. Finally, the pot itself only did half my legs - so from the knee down. I would need a bigger pot for a full leg! Overall - id recommend this product, but would stress to read and follow the instructions - no short cuts! esp when using the microwave to heat and then put on your skin!

I don't want to spend tons money in salons anymore, and £60 for a wax is a lot! So, I thought I'd try home waxing again, although I seem to remember past experiences with strips haven't been great. But this comes pretty cheap and with good reviews so I thought I'd give it a bash. Ok, it's very sticky. Next time I'll heat it a bit but it's OK to spread once you get the hang of it, plus the current heat wave probably helped too. The wax did my legs ok and I was able to reuse the strip a good few times. Pretty much painless as you can pull the skin really taut and the hairs all grow in the same direction. Bikini line. Fine, a slight pain but very manageable and far less than I'd feared. Took out all the hair but this time spreading was hard. The wax became very sticky and I couldn't reuse the strip more than once or twice. Also, here it's OK to pull the skin firmly enough to ease the pain and get good results. Once I started sweating from the effort, heatwave, perceived pain etc, my skin became a bit wet and waxing became impossible as you need dry skin to do this. Labia and underarms. It says on the packet to really look carefully what direction the hair grows (and not do your genitals, ahem). That's an impossible task in these places - as is to get the skin taut enough. Hair still remains there but at least I've got nice legs and can wear bikini bottoms with confidence! I've rinsed the strips with warm water and they're as good as almost new - the edges fray a lot. I'd say this is a great product for the money, especially for the bikini line and legs. However, you can't really get a Brazilian with this, in case that's what you were hoping for.

I'm an experienced waxer, I use a hard wax and heater. However, I'd read about sugaring and watched a few videos and was intrigued to try something that's supposedly gentler, less painful (although I find hard wax fairly painless) and supposed to cause less ingrown hairs. Firstly after researching sugaring techniques and learning that it's supposed to be applied against the direction of the hair growth and pulled off with the hair growth, I was surprised to find the instructions on this product were the same as waxing (applied with growth, pulled off against). I was under the impression that the reason ingrown hairs are less likely with this is because of the direction the sugar is supposed to be pulled, meaning that it will encourages hair re-growth in its natural direction. Secondly, the consistency was too thin and sticky. Not runny enough to apply for strip waxing and not hard enough to use for the ball and flick method. And there's no way I'm heating it up, I might as well use my normal wax. Lol. It's also has left my skin sore, bruised and red and barely took the hair out of the root. It arrived mostly stuck to the foil lid so a lot of product was lost. I would love a refund because this is awful and a complete waste of money, but as I've opened it to try it I'm not sure how likely that will be.

I have been staring at this for a while. I was a bit unsure if I could do it. Then I put on my big girl pants and started it. It was easy to use and by the end I have learned to use it correctly too. I love that I could wash the wax off the strips. I hope that I can buy the wax without buying the whole kit as well. The waxing was not too painful. However if you are hoping to practice sugaring techniques this product is not for you.

I am too lazy to write reviews…..but this time I really feel the need to I have spent a load of money on different home waxing products but always found them rubbish and ended up back at a salon. Spending a wasted evening doom scrolling and saw an add for this stuff. Was really cheap so though why not. My legs are gross and as i said lazy, so hadn’t booked a salon appointment since two months ago (it was a jungle down there). Arrived quick (ok that obvious it is prime) so had a go this morning and it blooming brilliant. Easy(ish) to apply and easy to rip off (allowing for squealing) and my legs are so smooth. Where I actually got the hairs total salon quality. I however not so much so, so a few stragglers but as this is my new way to wax I am sure my application will improve. Highly recommended

Throughout this quarantine season I have tired out three different waxing techniques to give my self a full Brazilian wax that would mimic the one I get at the salon. The 1st one: Veet body waxing strips- a huge flop. They would not grip on to the skin properly and were a huge waste of time. Because they didn’t grip the hair properly, the hair snapped at the root (no roots were seen) practically mimicking shaving, and caused me to have Severe bumps that were worse than any I had ever gotten with shaving; the hair also grew back within a week. Secondly I used the Nads Brazilian and bikini wax (hard wax no strips)- this was horrific. I wax was either too soft and rip when I was pulling it off (very painful on the lady region) or too hard to pull off and nearly took my skin with it. It was also imposible to remove if spread too thin; basically there was no room for mistakes! Finally I discovered this wax after reading a list of top at home waxing kits, and it has been the best one I have used so far. I will be sticking with it and may not even go back to the salon. It definitely works better when warmed up and they should probably include more strips, but the strips are ‘reusable’ and if you do run out you can always just cut up an old t-shirt. 100% would highly recommend this product

Comes with reusable cloth strips, lots of applicators, and a soap to prepare your skin as well as the sugaring compound. Best to use the product without heating it up - just be patient and let your skin heat it up to make it easier to spread. Also don't double dip with the application sticks or it contaminates the sugar and the product deteriorates.

First time sugar waxing. It was easy to do on my legs! My leg hair was a little longer than recommended length... did great. Easy clean up. Pain was minimal/ very tolerable for legs. And Legs were hairless for two weeks after. I will be purchasing this again. However...I also tried it on my armpits. 🤦‍♀️ It was painful and didn't work. I was sore the next day. I thought maybe the hair isn't long enough. I waited a week and retried...even had my husband help me. It was comical. Still didn't work and was even more painful. If you have thin armpit hair maybe it'll work for you. 🤷‍♀️

Over priced, still we bought it thinking that it will work When we used it, 90% of time its not sticking... even if its get stick, hair is not getting removed.. Totally a waste of money... So, please dont try your luck on this product.

Doesn't work doesn't grab the hair doesn't do what it's supposed to do it's horrible same thing with the one for the eyebrows I don't understand this I spent this money on this and now I can't return it it sucks

I used it on my lip, chin, and brow. If you've ever had waxing done in the salon, you are familiar with the process, just repeat it with this product. The instructions are very clear. The wax is very sticky, much like honey but once you get comfortable with it, it's fairly easy to apply and removes most of the unwanted hair. The brow is a bit tricky and will take some practice and the overall result is not as thorough as the hot wax from the salon, but certainly worth the investment for in-between cleaning. My skin reaction was not as severe as after the salon either.
