Beware of Nair...

scorpiomom2005

I bought Nair to use on my bikini area, since I can't see to shave anymore, and apparently some got to where it wasn't supposed to and I'm suffering from painful irritation/burns on my lady bits. Use a mirror or have help if you do this!!

Doesn't it say right on the package that you aren't supposed to use it on your bikini area?

Nope I bought the kind that you CAN use on the bikini area, it's not for the face or chest area, just underarms, bikini area and legs.

I used nair once when I was 16 & convinced my brother to try it on his legs also (haha he was 19), we both had the worst burns ever afterwards. I will never use nair again!

my friend that just had her baby a couple days ago, naired a few weeks ago. We were laughing cause she apparently forgot to lift her stomach and had a hair line that she missed!

I did not know they made this. I've been considering trying it, but I tried Veet a few times in high school and it didn't work. Aside from making the bathroom smell awful, anyway.

Besides getting it where I shouldn't have (I probably did it cleaning the bathroom instead of sitting still and letting it work) it did a GREAT job.

I used the same stuff a couple times cause I just couldn't stand it anymore. It worked well but should def use a mirror when applying!!

I used Nair under my arms once and it melted the skin right off!  So painful!

my obgyn told me not to use any chemical products to remove hair while pregnant only shaving or waxing. you may want to call yours just to double check.

When I was in high school, I used Nair for Men on my arms and didn't realize how much stronger it was than regular Nair; I left it on too long, thinking it'd remove more hair that way, and it melted the top layers of skin right off my arms. I had 2nd degree chemical burns, it was pretty bad. I still occasionally use it on my legs but now I don't ever leave it on for as long as they say to!
