Title: Depilation cremes
Post by: Padma on August 18, 2011, 04:23:44 PM
Today I'm getting ready to head off camping for 10 days, and decided to do the whole thing with depilation creme. I've got two kinds, Veet and Nad's, so I thought I'd compare both (I hadn't used Nad's yet - a product for men's body hair). Some things I learned:

i) Nad's smells better than Veet
ii) Nad's is less harsh on the skin than Veet (especially on the balls, which got coated by accident - Veet stings like crazy!)
iii) the creme remover scraper thingy that comes with the Veet has sharp bits on it - ouch!
iv) putting aloe vera gel on your balls after they get Veet on them stings like crazy :o

Thus endeth the experiment. I'll be sticking with Nad's from now on, even though it's a bit more pricey. I'm very pleased, I was able to get at hair that I've been unable to shave easily (I can't reach parts of my back with a razor because of a minor disability, but I could get creme on them, so now I have a fairly hairless back for the first time!)

Okay, you have to satisfy my curiosity.  In GB, is "nads" not common slang for... er... cojones?  Because it is where I'm at!  I can't stop laughing at this inappropriately!

I've only tried Nair, and never let it get near my 'nads, that's for sure. Well, never intentionally. Ye gods, that was a mistake that only happened once.

Nair seemed really effective. But, it stank and left my skin red and irritated. So, it's back to razors and shaving cream for me.

Actually it is a hair removal method.  I have only used their waxing type product and did not care for it.  Veet does not work on my hair and Nair burnt me the last time I used it.

I still shave when necessary but that is maybe once a week.

Yes, nads is also slang for nuts over here :).

I'm going to have to make a "shower cap" for my crown jewels before I do this again, my scrote is still sore the next morning, and I need to protect my future pussy!

I accidentally got 'Deep Heat' on my tumours once. That made them leap around, and I followed :laugh: :laugh:
