Theresa and the Veet
Okay, so this is a pretty typical situation in my life.
Basically every girl loathes shaving. I am no different. Since I wear shorts to work in the summer, I have to shave quite often. I decided to buy the Veet Bladeless Waxing kit, which is supposed to keep you smooth and hairless for up to four weeks without any pain. I thought it was pretty cool.
They also gave bonus wax strips, which you're supposed to use on your underarms, wherever (these aren't promised to be painless). So since I was in a rush the other day, I decided to use them. I followed the directions to the letter and put the strip under my arm, bracing myself to pull it off. I wait...and wait...and---
"Ouch! Oh, God, mothereffer..."
Oh well, I figure, at least that's over with. I look at the strip. I kid you not, literally two hairs have been pulled out. I was like, are ya kiddin' me? But alas, I try the apply-and-pull manuver three more times before giving up and just getting in the shower. I shave one arm, but then the other one hurts so bad I can't even put the razor near it. I man up and shave, thinking that other than hurting like a mofo, this hasn't done much so far.
Score one for you, Veet.
Then there is an inappropriate aspect to the story.
So today I decide to give the bladeless thing the benefit of the doubt and try it. So I spread the wax on my legs...this stuff smells like a skunk with gas. Like, awful. I carefully time the three-minute duration and then use the tool to scrape the wax off. Aside from being a nasty mess and having to clean the tool every like, ten seconds, things seem to be going okay. It takes forever.
So then, overjoyed that I'm done, I examine my legs. Hmm, that's funny, I still see hair. Oh well, I tell myself, it probably comes off when you rinse your legs. Oh, but I was wrong. All that came off was my skin. Awesome. So here I am, hairy, in pain, and smelly.
Score two for you, Veet. You suck.
