Mrs. Chastain and I were talking about this. Don’t ask. :rolleyes:
That said, are we talking about stinging? Burning? Bad things? Or is it just simply uncomfortable? We went to the Nair website to look for a big flashing red sign, “DON’T EVER PUT THIS ON YOUR COOKIES OR HOO-HAHS,” but never found one. Perhaps we missed some legal fine print.
Has anyone ever tried this?
And I’m not looking for FOAF-stories, either. Just the facts, if at all possible.
Again, don’t ask.

According to an earlier discussion, several people have tried it on their faces, with mixed results. Some said it wasn’t strong enough, while others reoprted nasty chemical burns. I wouldn’t try it.
There are, however, several milder products designed for facial use (which were also mentioned in the above discussion). If I were planning on defoliating my privates, I’d try one of those before going on to the industrial-strength stuff.
It does say on the bottle that you shouldn’t. " …use anywhere EXCEPT[really, all in caps here] in eyes, nose, ears, or on breasts, or on breast nipples, perianal or vaginal/genital areas"
I find the breast nipples part odd, because where else do you find nipples on one’s body?
Since I know from painful experience that it can cause chemical burns on your thighs, I really wouldn’t suggest trying one of the warned against areas. I think it’d probably hurt even more.
Basically, you shouldn’t use Nair or related products where you might get it into a mucus membrane. It’s cleared for bikini line use, so you can use it across the upper pubis, but steer way clear of the labia in all directions. I’d reccommend testing on other body parts first to see if you have any sorts of reactions to it, cause that’s one place you really don’t want a rash or a chemical burn.
seems to me you should be using “NADS”
I would pay money to watch THAT! LOL
