Honestly for me it’s faster but I’d suggest just keeping your arms up for the 3-5 minutes. It can be a bit messy but I’d say it’s better than shaving for me

For me personally, for nair to work on the coarse hair in armpit and groin areas I have to leave it on for 10 mins and the skin is too sensitive for that amount of time so I always get chemical burns. Shaving works better for me. But my armpits are literally the only area of my body that are not sensitive to shaving.

i don’t understand why people still use nair - if a product gives you literal chemical burns…don’t put it on your skin

I tried it because I get major irritation on my legs from shaving. 🤷‍♀️ it doesn’t work to get all the hair on my legs but still irritates me less than shaving on my legs

which is good, i’m glad it feels better for you personally! i’m just saying i, myself, would not want to put such a harsh chemical on my skin - whether it is causing a visible present issue or not
