Nair Shower Power

I saw a commercial for this product yesterday. Along with it, they said that you could receive a free printable $3.00 off coupon, if you went online. I did as they said. I downloaded the "coupon printer" program, filled out the mandatory registration screen, and waited. Nothing. I did, however receive an error screen saying that I've already printed this coupon. Nope. Never did, actually. There was no place on their site to rectify this issue. Thanks for nothing. That's strike 1.

I decided to not let that mishap hinder my purchase of this product. I hate waxing, and shaving is such a chore. I went to the local Rite-Aid, and purchased it for $6.99usd. I bought the orange tube version. It's "Exfoliating" with Skin Renewal Micro-Beads. It comes with a "specially designed sponge for effective hair removal". With the orange side of the sponge, I followed the directions. You apply it on dry legs before the shower. Enough to cover the hair, but don't rub it in. Wait at least 1 min before stepping into the shower. Done. It said to follow my normal shower routine, but not to let the jets touch my legs directly, or it will come off. But that "some" rinse off is not unusual. I also did not exceed the 10 min of application time as stated. When it was time to remove the cream I looked down, and 50% of the cream had in fact, washed off. I don't feel that 50% is "some". Strike 2.
It said to use the other side of the sponge to remove the hair in a circular motion, in a test patch. Well 90% came off in the test patch so I waited another min, yet still not allowed to exceed the 10min. time limit. Then I went for the rest. It did not all come off. I'd say about 90% overall remained. I had followed the directions as they said, but there were still patches. Patches that were fully engulfed in the cream. I still had to get out the razor and clean up after the nair. Strike 3.
Not fully satisfying. I also noticed that on just my legs alone I used most of the tube. I don't have large legs. I have average legs. There is not enough left in the tube to do one more full leg. Strike 4. After getting out of the shower I did notice my legs were smooth feeling. That's a good thing, but that the skin looked like chicken skin. That look still remains. 3 hours later.

Based on this experience I would not use this product again. Not enough product in the bottle for the price. And I still had to do a few passes with the razor when I was finished. That's terrible. I'll give a follow up when the regrowth starts. To see if it is "days" longer then shaving.

Thanks nair. Your intentions were good, but you just could not pass the bar.
