I've used wax strips (Sally hansen wax strips) before which seem to work ok for underarm waxing, my only problem with it is that I have to repeatedly wax the same area until all the hair is pulled off. By this time my underarms are sore and swollen.
I decided to try this one because it seems like a good deal (big tub of wax) for $10 dollars at Target. I'm a bit skeptical since I've never used a wax without the strip. I followed the instructions, microwaved the full tub for 2 mins, tested a small amount on my leg first then onto my underarms. I'm pleasantly surprised that it took out a most of the hairs (even the short ones) and didn't require me to do to it on the same areas repeatedly. It seems less painful (compared to Sally hansen strips) when i pull out the wax and my underarms didn't feel too sore and swollen afterwards.
I agree with the other reviewers that it is messy but other microwaveable wax i've tried before are the same, can't be helped I guess. Also, the box didn't provide enough after waxing wipes (to soothe the skin).
