Who Wears Short Shorts?
By Lena Christine onDo you remember the old Nair commercials? The ones with the "Who wears short shorts?" phrase? When I was younger I always thought Nair was the coolest product on the market because it eliminated the need to use a razor all together and gave you silky smooth skin to boot. I recently tried Nair. The Cucumber Melon 4 minute lotion to be exact. The application was fairly simple in instruction, spread the lotion where you want the hair removed. Only problem I found with it was that it called for a thick layer and you had to make sure you didn't miss even the smallest of spots, so it was kind of awckward sitting and trying not to touch anything while I searched for spots I had missed. I waited the 4 minutes and tested a small spot and the hair was still there. I waited a couple more and tested again, okay some hair was coming off. I waited a couple more and tested for the third time, finally some decent results. SO, I cleaned all the gunk off and rinsed with cool water like instructed. Visually my legs look pretty nice, but upon close inspection I found that even after about 8 minutes there were still patches that never came off when I wipe clean. Not so sure this should be called a 4 minute lotion. Overall i guess the experience was half way what I expected, but I do not plan to buy again.

I used to use this and besides the smell not bad.
Could have been a little broken up, but great writing what you feel about it WW-V:) Keep Excelling ! Some of your paragraphed work is exceptional!
Well, you've just described my experience with this product from many, many years ago. Not sure why.
i used it on my underarms, it didn't do the job :(
I've never tried Nair. Now I know I probably never will! Thanks!
lol...yeah, I remember that little jingle. I could never use Nair though because my skin was just too sensitive but it is a good product for those who can use it.
I've used Nair and got about the same results you did. Plus the smell - Bleh! I'll stick with my trusty Daisy razor.
Always wondered how well that stuff worked.
Maybe Nair should just start marketing their products as shaving cream instead of hair removal? ;-)
I not only remember the song and commercials I remember the stinky smell of the original LOL. I am glad they came up with cucumber and melon. I like cucumber and melon scent. I agree I could never get Nair to work completely either.
