I am reading a lot of reviews that complain about how the wax doesn't work and thought I'd share my 2 cents about the product. I am an Indian woman so naturally I have a lot of thick black body hair on my arms and legs and the wax does a good job in removing them. Here are a couple of things about waxing to keep in mind:
1. Body hair length: If you're looking to remove hair just coming out of the follicles this is not your product. Infact, waxing isn't your option. For an efficient wax the body hair has to be around half a centimeter or else the wax will miss out pulling those hair since the wax strip doesn't have enough surface area to pull the hair out. Now I understand how this can be a little inconvenient but with continuous usage of wax your hair growth slows down and this might become manageable.
2. Moisturized skin: The skin has to be dry before you apply wax. Take a shower and clean the area with soap (without any moisturizers for e.g. Dove is not suitable). Once you've dried the skin, apply some baby powder to absorb any remaining moisture. This greatly effects how efficient of a wax you will have and prevent patches of hair from being unwaxed.
3. Humidity: As with any other wax, the waxing will not be as good if there is humidity in the air, This can be prevented by turning on the air conditioning while you are waxing. Humidity prevents hair to stick to the wax strip
4. Amount of wax: Apply the thinnest layer of wax on a body area. A lot of people apply a lot more than necessary thinking more wax= better hair removal. However that couldn't be further from the truth. Since this is a roll on, it gives you a lot of control on how much wax to apply. With error and trial figure out how many seconds in the microwave are needed for a warm thin wax, enough to create a thin layer on the body yet not burn the skin.
5. Waxing techniques: The wax should be applied in the normal direction of growth. The strip placed on top should be pressed in the normal direction of growth as well. However when pulling the strip out, you need to pull it out in the opposite direction. So plan accordingly and leave an area of the strip on the end with which you can pull the strip out easily.
5. Human error: Remember that since you're doing it yourself and not at a spa, there will be areas that you will be unable to wax irrespective of the amount of wax you apply there. Waxing is more of technique and doing bikini areas yourself will always be tricky. I haven't tried it in the bikini area so I can't comment on its effectiveness, however considering all the weird angles you have to remove the hair from, it might just be best to leave such areas to the experts or have a friend help you.
All in all, I really like the product. Since its a honey and sugar based wax, it is easier to remove with just warm water. The roll on design makes it so much more convenient and less messy than the other options available on the market. The strips are reusable but if you don't want to reuse them, one can buy strips online on amazon or in beauty stores like Ulta. Hope this review helps some of you out there.

I actually bought this product from Target for about $8 thinking that I could use it on my upper lip and chin area. Only when I got home did I see on the packaging that it is for legs and body.Oh, well; I'll try it for its intended use, then.
I hate shaving my legs because I don't feel very smooth after using shaving cream and razors in the shower. Then the next day I have stubble and have to do it all over again. As a result, I sometimes go for almost two weeks before I will shave in the shower again. Shaving more often also causes my skin to dry out, and I have sensitive skin on top of everything else. I've always been curious about what it would be like to wax instead of shave, and this seems like a pretty idiot-proof product. And it is, unless you're like me and misread the label before purchasing.
How to use the product:
Twist off the roller top and take out the safety plug. Then put the roller top back on. Place the entire thing in the microwave on a plate off-centered with the applicator face up. Microwave on high for 15 seconds. Remove the wax container and knead it gently so that the heat will distribute evenly. Press firmly to the area you wish to wax, gliding the applicator in the direction of the hair growth. Take one of the reusable strips and press it firmly to the waxed area immediately after applying; you don't want the wax to harden on the area. Pull quickly in the opposite direction of hair growth. Now the hair is gone, and you're likely to be wincing in pain!
Pros:
--Very little mess to clean up! I strongly prefer this in comparison to waxes in jars that are applied with sticks. (I'm thinking more the facial hair remover in this instance.)
--The strips are reusable. Simply rinse them with warm water, hang to dry, and they'll work just as effectively the next time around.
--The roller top is super easy to clean. The round roller can be removed so that the wax can be rinsed off. Then you can use your finger to help the wax come off of the piece that the
roller attaches to.
--The wax was ready to be used after 15 seconds in my microwave. It was perfect!
--I really like the scent of this wax; it's not stinky. And I don't feel the need to take a full on shower
Cons:
--Maybe my skin is just irritated with bumps, I'm not sure. But I feel like the hair follicles weren't completely ripped from my skin. I'll have a better idea about this when my calf stops
hurting.
--The wax and the strips working together didn't remove every piece of hair. I had to reapply to try and get those small patches of hair off.
--This is probably more my fault than that of the wax, but...my leg started bleeding. At this point, I freaked, threw down the cloth strip, and promptly called it a night.
I am a huge baby when it comes to any kind of pain, so I didn't even get to finish one leg. Surprisingly, my leg isn't throbbing too badly, and I just might consider trying this again tomorrow night.
Best Deals for Roll On Milk and Honey Wax Women Wax by Nair, 5.7 Ounce
I did not buy it online but I bought it from target for 8 bucks. It will vary from hair to hair so my answer might vary as well.PRO: HALF strip can take about the whole calves. The knee and the thigh will be a bit trickier. It doesn't grab every single hair but about a pretty good amount. You'll see one or two sticking out here and there.
CON: Can be quite messy BUT very easy to remove the stickiness with warm water. Strip are gone FAST.
Trick: It worked for me but not sure if it'll work for you. You could rub the strip against your leg to create heat in order to pull hair. My first time I left the strip on without creating heat and it didn't work as much, so I rub my hand against the strip to create heat and it pulled out more hair.
Hope this helps.
Honest reviews on Roll On Milk and Honey Wax Women Wax by Nair, 5.7 Ounce
I am an AVID waxer and I LOVE this product. I ran out of wax and was going to buy my typical microwaveable Sally Hansen wax. I saw this and thought it look intriguing. It was nearly the same size and a little cheaper for I thought I'd give it a try....and it was worth it!PROS
* QUICK! The roller cuts out the step of spreading on the wax manually using a popsicle stick or whatnot. I was surprised that I was able to wax my entire legs and bikini line in less than a half hour!
* ROLLER EASY TO USE And you have less mess because you're not going back and forth from the tub of wax to your leg. Honestly the roll on feature is what sold me on this product and is why I will keep using it!
* WATER SOLUBLE This is a big deal for me. It makes it easy to clean up and get it off.
* STRIPS REUSABLE At first I was disappointed that there weren't that many strips UNTIL I found out that they were reusable. Just wash the used wax off with water, hang to dry and viola! Ready to use next time!
CONS
* STRAGGLERS It will get about 95% of all your hair if you keep applying it when it's hot/warm (which I think is pretty normal for wax in this price range).
I feel a lot of people are giving this product bad reviews because it made them bleed in a few areas or they had red spots, but let me tell you something: you're RIPPING THE HAIR OUT of your body! Those things are normal (at least in my experience with do-it-yourself waxing). No pain, no game. ;) But at least with this product, you can get in and out of the (waxing) game QUICK!

This was my first time waxing my legs and Nair Milk & Honey made it super quick and easy.I would completely recommend it to first time users, or those that are experienced with getting waxed or waxing themselves.
I especially love that the strips are reusable. You just rinse them off with warm water. My only complain is that I wish there was more in the bottle!
I'm sold, never going back to shaving again.
