[Cori]

Has anyone used this?:

Is it effective and has anyone got a reaction from it?

I tried the wax strips, but they didn't work. I ripped it off and it didn't pull any hair off! I usually shave, but just thought I'd try something different.

Yes, I have used that once or twice.
It was actually pretty good and I didn't have a reaction to it.

I stick to waxing though - much easier!

I've used it a couple of times. Would recommend.
Only time I had a reaction to veet was when pregnant, I used that in shower hair removal cream on my legs, OMG it burned sooooooooooooooo bad, I had blisters/scabs/burns all down both legs for weeks and I literally had it on seconds. Must have been prego hormones as since had LO I've re-tried it and all's fine again. Madness.

Oh my God, I don't know whether to risk the bikini one then. I'm not pregnant (yet!) but I do have sensitive skin and allergies.

Perhaps nip into Boots and ask them?
They'll know what's best for you etc.

If not, you could do a small test area and see if you react.

They recommend a patch test on the box anyway...just having used it a zillion times before I just went right ahead, not realising my pregnancy hormones were clearly messing up my skin's sensitivity. Anyway firstly you can ask the pharmasist, you can also buy a 'for sensitive skin' kit but they still say not to use if it's real sensitive or prone to things like varicous veins or exzema etc.

I think I might just stick to shaving. But sometimes I get a bit of a rash a couple of days after I've shaved.
