SUGAR COATEDOrganic Bikini Sugar Wax Kit with Strips, Natural & Gentle Hair Removal for Bikini Line, At-Home Sugar Wax with Calendula Oil to Calm Sensitive Skin, Non-Damaging Bikini Wax, 200g

I've never used a product like this before, or bought one! I have had bikini waxes for 15 years by professionals. I am not someone who knows much about beauty products, so I read a number of reviews about it before buying. The reviews were really mixed so I focussed on the positive ones to be fair!The instructions with the product are straightforward and easy to follow. I haven't got a microwave that is configured in seconds on a timer, it works with a dial, so I definitely had it in the microwave for too long, but since it is meant to look like runny honey, and not be too hot on the wrist, I waited until it had cooled down enough to use.I set everything out I would need before starting to us the product, as I thought I might only have a small window of opportunity temperature wise to use it. I am glad I did, because it just made everything easier.I applied a thin coat - thin!!- and followed the instructions. Everything worked beautifully.The waxing process did not hurt. I don't recommend trying to use each paper more than once. I think I would have got too gummed up had I tried that.I had a couple of drips - I've never done this before- but another reviewer had advised to put a towel down, and the drips landed on that. I popped the towel in the wash afterwards - job's a good 'un.Overall, this was a great product, did what it said, had simple instructions and I would recommend it.

Not for me. Painful on legs, particularly the shin. Was left with bruising. And nearly every hair was ingrown when they the regrowth came. Possibly a lot to do with me not being experienced with sugaring but never had this problem with traditional at-home waxing.

So I had this hairbrained scheme that I wanted to wax my balloon knot. I get these odd ideas, I never said I was normal!So there I am, mirror laying on the floor facing up, me squatting over it and liberally spreading wax around my chocolate starfish. Not too easy to do using a mirror. Sadly I slipped as I got confused between left and right while using the mirror to navigate. I ended up spreading it all over my poop crimper but didn't notice at the time.I'm not a caveman and not particularly hairsuite in that area and have a patch of wax around 5 inches long and an inch wide on each cheek. I figured I'd hit my perineum too while I was at it.I laid on a paper strip over the slathered area and patted it down. I'm no stranger to a bit of pain so I was more than a little blasé about it.Still in a squatting position, I put my hand between my legs and firmly grasped the end of the paper that was furthest away from my gentleman vegetables. I bit down and tensed up ready. Then.... RIP! I swiftly withdrew my hand, proudly holding up the now very hairy piece of paper.At that moment I realised 2 things.1, I had got some wax on my smelly freckle by accident, causing my eyes to water, my sinuses to flare and the word 'mummy' to involuntarily escape quite loudly from my mouth.And2, As I ripped the paper from the opening of my chutney channel, my hand, now in the shape of a fist, whistled briskly past my kiwis with quite a lot of inertia and making positive contact with my aforementioned undercarriage. Essentially punching myself in the testicalia.I then lost my balance and toppled forward like a tree being felled, still in the squatting position, bashing my forehead onto the bathroom tiles.So my pain was 3 fold. Actually 4, if you count the act of hair removal itself, which was actually the least of my problems at this moment.Because as I lay there, head on the tiles, butt in the air, still clutching the hairy sticky paper in my hand, my mother, who heard me call for her right before hearing the bang from my head hitting the tiles, came into the bathroom to check how I was.And of course, I was facing away from the door that my mother entered through. She didn't even compliment me on the results of my first ever waxing!

I bought this product as I'd tried hard wax and was disappointed with the results. Hard wax worked but was really difficult to use - heating up and keeping it heated was hard if you didnt have special equipment. plus, the wax would stick to your skin making it more painful. So I came across this product - its soft wax and natural - bonus. It only takes 40 seconds to heat in the microwave where as hard wax takes 6 minutes to heat, its easy to spread and the wax strips are easy to apply. What I love about this product is there is hardly any pain when removing the hair even when doing a hollywood style wax. The only downside is you have to cut the wax strips as they are large ones for legs not small strips for bikini lines

I have used so many sugar based products for hair removal but this one must be the worst so far. It never hardened enough to be easily pulled of with hair. It is exactly what some of the other comments mentioned... too sticky, too messy and not worth your time and money!

Had to give 2 stars, only due to the fact the wax strips come in awful plastic packaging, when the product is advertised as a completely eco friendly vegan product. The wax itself is lovely + easy to use, but for the ever growing eco conscious who dont want to contribute to plastic pollution - its currently not the best product for this. Hopefully the company decides to scrap the plastic + aligns it's ethics to its actions - for happy customers + happy planet.

I loved how smooth it got my bikini line and upper thighs! It definitely got easier to use once I got the hang of it!
