Yes Nads is an aussie invention and I reckon its hopeless,I am an Aussie I also tried a Vitamin E facial wax that was supposed to be miraculous and was also hopeless , I am thinking of having electrolysis(Can't spell this) so we will see how that goes , it does drive me mad Ali and if you are young there is worse to come I'm sorry to tell you, Lara xx

Tried 'em all, although don't need them as much these days - must have pulled out all the roots over the years LOL. You can buy jars of 'sugaring' in Body Shop. Have to heat it in the microwave - so carefully does it - it's messier than wax and just as painful. Cold waxing is less harsh on the skin but doesn't work as well. Shaving is quick but you have to do it more often. What we have to go through huh, the thought is making me wince. Jan :O

Ali, I use a Phillips waxer on my legs ,its brill. Tried once using a microwave wax for underarms and it was hell,I had to keep my arms out stretched as it stuck my arms down!!! Always make sure all body lotion is off before waxing. xx Jill In France
