I decided to order Enleve, and test it against Nair. I applied Enleve
to the right side of my bikini line, and Nair 4 minute formula to the
left. Both products were left on for the max recomended time, 10 min.
(I know from past experience this is not a problem for me.)I followed
up the Enleve treatment with the gel that comes with it.

Both products did a very good job of removing the hair. The Nair side
was just a bit smoother. Despite the infomercial claims, Evleve did
not seem to do anything to the hair below the skin.

So the real question is if there will be any difference in the
regrowth. I'll post reports.

Thanks for the Info on the other methods of Hair removal. Do keep us posted.

I've tried Neet Roll-on and Parisiene Wax.
Both were effective, but, not very long lasting.
Certainly the Waxing was painful at first, but, it lasted longer than Neet.
Neet really stinks like the old Perms, and I found that there was some
sensitivity to the chemicals.

I also picked up these little sandpaper mitts and they work quite well on my
legs, without the pain or redness, and they leave the skin smooth to the
touch, better than shaving.
It takes a while, following the directions ...."WAX ON-WAX OFF" (no pun
intended) but totally worth the effort. The bikini area isn't as easy to do.
Id still like to find a more permanent solution, (besides laser) less pain,
less work, especially for Swimming.

It's been about a week, and there is more regrowth on the Enleve side.
Again, there was never any evidence Enleve did anything to the hair
below the skin,let alone disolved the root.(That claim was one of the
main reasons I wanted to try it.)If I were going to wear something
that would expose the area, I'd redo both sides.

YMMV

No prob. I haven't seen any ingrown hair or irritation on either side,
but my skin is the opposite of sensitive.

And happy new year to you, too.

Also, I tried Evleve on short hairs (above the lip) and it did
nothing, nada, to them.

No lotto. :)

My conclusion is that Enleve is just an over priced, over hyped version of Nair.

thanks, no skin irritation i hope
Mimi's considering using it
closer than the bikini line
between the bikini lines?
and I'm kinda worried about that

sorry about the lotto results
but your turn should come around
in about 4 million years
