Works great for me!

This must be one of those items that works great for some people and horribly for others. I purchased this a little bit hesitently after reading the negative reviews but eventually decided it was worth a shot.
I wanted to use this to get rid of the hair on my back. So I smeared it all over with some contortions and set a timer for 15 minutes. The smell at first wasn't bad at all but it quickly turned into a nasty chemical smell that reminded me of the perms my mom and sister did once. It wans't horribly overpowering though just irritating.
After the 15 minutes were up I used a washcloth and wiped all the hair off. It seemed to work best if you were slow and methodical in this step. I also found myself rinsing the washcloth often to get the hair off. Then I jumped in the shower and rinsed and washed with soap.
In the end I ended up with a perfectly smooth hairless back and zero irritation. So far its been a week and there is no stubble so I'm happy with the results.More detail ...
