  Pros

  I purchased this product to wax my arms, legs, and armpits as it's summer. Before buying, I carefully watched videos and read reviews, and used the product right away on the same day. Other solid wax products require the hassle of scooping the wax into a separate container, heating it, and then cleaning up afterwards. But with this product, you just need to open the lid and microwave it for 30-50 seconds, and it melts right away and is ready to apply. It also comes with a wooden applicator stick and plenty of fabric patches that you can stick on and peel off. The scent is also pleasant, so it won't be divisive. The product itself works very well at removing the relatively thin hairs on my arms and legs. The sensation of applying and peeling off the wax patches wasn't overly painful either.

  Cons

  However, for the thicker hairs in my armpits, even with applying extra force, the sticky solution just remained there while only a few strands of hair were plucked. Thinking it might be my inexperience, I tried it a couple more times, even with my mom's help, but the results were the same - a disappointing outcome where only some hairs were removed and the sticky residue remained. In the end, I had to get by this summer wearing only short-sleeved tops and couldn't wear tank tops.

  Tip

  I'd only recommend this product for simple arm and leg waxing. Waxing the face or armpits is too difficult. And since this is a waxing treatment that removes the hair from the roots, proper aftercare is crucial. You need to exfoliate with a body scrub within 3 days of waxing, and then make sure to properly moisturize. I was a bit ignorant about this at first, and ended up with ingrown hairs on my legs that I'm still struggling with. I even had to buy a body scrub pad. Make sure to follow the aftercare instructions thoroughly!
