Nathan Exposed » I Hate You Nair

This is the story of how I tried out Nair for Men…and how it failed miserably.

The product is not intended to be used on the cocknballs, so I decided to go for the armpits. It’s summer, so I figured having hairless pits would be nice to cut down on sweating.

Anyway, I lathered up my pits, and waited 5 minutes. Following instructions, I wiped off the cream. The hair was still there! Shit.

So I lathered up again, this time spreading it on really thick. 5 minutes later, I started wiping away. Some of the hair came off, but not much. I grabbed onto one of my hairs, and noticed it felt very brittle. I was able to pull the hair out of my armpits, without much pain. I had a handful of it.

A few days later, I had a terrible pain under my arm. I had developed several in-grown hairs. Getting them out was a bitch. Now, 2 weeks later, I have yet another in-grown hair! Fuck!

I did some research online. There are dozens of pages complaining about Nair for Men not working at all.

And some point, don’t you think someone at Nair would realize it doesn’t work? Isn’t there one guy at Nair who actually took it home and tried it?

I have considered Nair for Men for my back but haven’t done it yet. I heard that VEET works MUCH better but I am NOT an expert.

It works for me! I put on LOTS though because I have a really furry bum.

Um. Now I feel like a freak.

Scotty let us know how that works out for you with the Veet.

I took a peek a kkoldewyn’s blog and I think he is more of an otter.

DO NOT, I repeat, do not get Nair on your nips, either! OMFG! I was telling my BF that I wish they would come up with something I could use on ‘my boys’, but I’m still shaving for now.

I’ve used Nair for men for my bikini area. Works great. Once I tried it on my balls. Worked okay, burned like hell afterwards though. My partner todd uses nair on his back. He loves it. However, the ingrown hair is a problem.

Funny, I was cleaning out my medicine cabinet just this morning and I found two sample packets of Nair for Men… I was thinking of using ‘em on my fellas, but now that I read this testimonial (hehe, I kinda said “testes”), I think I’ll use them on my puppy Fletcher instead.

Some guys have all the luck Chip

Mr. Secret - yeah, they aren’t made for the testes. If you wanna keep your testes, don’t put Nair on them. Poor Fletcher

LOL. Good Point!!

I would say even though you experienced your share of pain and distress, thank heavens you didn’t go straight for the family jewels!!!

I love your commentary

I’ve never been very happy with the results from any depiliatories. I just stick with an electric trimmer (chest and pubes) or a regular razor (balls and ass) to keep things in shape.

Have you seen this little gadget I saw on MyKahil.com? www.shaveeverywhere.com
Even if the product doesn’t sell well or work well the webpage and ad is hilarious.

Yeah, I have seen that website. It’s awesome! I think it’s hilarious
