Just Kittyng Waxing Review

Ok, so we didn’t really ‘wax together,’ and what happened was more like a limerick, but it made you come on in, didn’t it?

We are both fair skinned, and as such, when we shave, we still frimly believe that the dark roots show just beneath the skin ~ you cannot feel it, but you san see it. *ugh* Waxing is expensive, and let’s face it, you have to be organized enough to make appointments & then brave enough to show up for them!

So when we found this new product, Just Kittyng, & we both thought ‘Halleluiah! I can do it at home, in private, when I feel like it, as often as I feel like it!’

But we both had rather different experiences...

I tried the product way back in July, but I remember the experience as if it was yesterday...

It was to be my first time with my love, our first time as lovers, and I was intent on being as smooth, as beautiful as possible. I figured, since we both were so excited, that I’d never get a change to change into fancy lingerie, but I could still do something special! So a perfectly smooth, clear, bikini line was going to be my ‘gift’’ to the occasion (it’s not like I could give him my virginity! *giggle*)

So I took the kit to the bathroom, and nervously opened the kit. After reading & re-reading the directions, I didn’t dare try the fancy option of a heart or other symbol, so I proceeded to do ‘just the necessities.’

I did everything that it said. I trimmed with the dainty scissors, I applied the wax, I ripped in one fast motion. I kept going through the steps, despite the shocking moments of ‘rip!’ (It was an ‘ouch,’ but not anything I couldn’t bear.)

I did everything the instructions said. Right down to the bath afterwards.

That’s where things get - or should I say, remained - sticky.

I took a long soak. I washed with body gel. I then thought the sticky feeling was residue that would best be buffed off with a towel when I dried. Nope.

- Now here’s where I start to panic -

I try facial toner. Nope.

I draw another bath. This time I apply a body scrub. Don’t, I repeat, don’t ever do that! Now I had little bits of gritty sand stuck into the wax!

I grab the instructions. It said nothing about ‘after’ other than the ‘cooling gel.’ So I tried that. Cooling? Perhaps, but it does nothing to remove it...

In desperation, I search through the beauty cabinet for something, anything, that will remove this sticky, gritty, mess. I spy nail polish remover, with acetone. ‘Why not?’ I think. I’ll tell you why not, after ripping hairs out, roots & all, my pores were open enough, tender too, then you add vigorous scrubbing, with & without bits of rock, and YOW, that smarts!

- Now, I am in full panic. -

To add to my discomfort, I have a guest staying on my couch... which means I must dress myself, try to walk normally, and see what else I might have lying ‘round the house that will remove this mess...

I brace myself & begin the house-wide search.

All I can think of is that I need a degreaser. Something strong - pain be damned, I need to get this off, my man arrives tomorrow & I only have 16 hours to prepare! What can I do?!

There, in the kitchen, beneath the sink, lies hope. It lies in an unlikely source: a bottle of orange cleaner.

I read the bottle once quickly, its boast that it cuts through the worst kitchen grease makes me grab it & dash to my private bath again.

Once there, & naked again, I re-read the bottle. I test some on my arm, for sting potential... No stinging at all.

I close my eyes & squirt.

No pain. (Though after the nail polish, I may have been entirely numb, which does not bode well for sex the next night... I brush that thought aside for now.) I reach for a damp towel - the moment of truth. I sweep it gingerly across my skin. The good news is that the towel feels like sandpaper - I am not numb, I will feel sex tomorrow if I get that far!

The great news is that it works! My skin feels smooth, not sticky. It’s red & puffy, and ‘tender’ is putting it mildly, but one thing at a time here.

I continue to squirt/spray, wipe & pat until my entire underside is squeaky clean.

I take another soak in the tub, with Aveeno, this time for the soreness & redness. I pat dry, and slather on the Curel as I ready for bed. I don’t allow myself to cry to sleep, I just pray that tomorrow, it will all be better...

In the morning I take a look at myself. Not too bad. I am not red or swollen looking, and the skin is smooth & yup, no dark roots visible beneath the surface... But, I have a few bruised spots. *sigh* And I swear I smell like oranges.

Even after I showered to get ready for our ‘big date,’ I know I smell vaguely of oranges...

Well, having learned from dear DeeDee, I must say I was a bit reluctant.... So I took a more cautions approach. I called a salon, and they said baby oil would be an excellent way to remove any excess wax (to avoid a sales pitch, I told them I had been to another salon, and I ‘had one wee problem,’ and if they’d help me, I’d try them next time... *wink* )

I did follow the instructions to the T. It stung, but not too badly. Before I took my shower, I used the baby oil, and I had no sticky problems. (Note, the makers‘ website does have the baby oil suggestion on their ’how to use’ page now, so I guess that‘s a good idea.)

However, I too, had some bruising. (I suspect it is the curse of very fair skin - for since this trial, I have had other friends who have used this same product, and had no bruising at all.)

The good news is that the smoothness outlasts the bruising.

Since then, I have returned to depilatories. It’s just easier for me, and I can use the Sex Symbol stencils to create lovely fun images. (I personally adore the X’s!)

It takes some practice, but it’s a fun thing to do!

The kit includes the best scissors, a great tweezer, and the gel is great after other hair removals. Plus it all comes in a great travel tin. It’s a good way to start ~ at $39.95 it’s much cheaper than a salon try! And you can order the refills as needed.

For those fair maidens, too skittish to try, you can just get the Sex Symbols & use wit shaving & depilatories.

The bottom line on your bottoms: This is a fun product, well worth the try ~ providing you have baby oil around!

Just as we went to publish, Vixen sent a message regarding this product:

“I have used it for 6 months now, with each use, the sting of removal is less. I never had bruising. And I have always used baby oil afterward my shower, so I have never noticed a problem with stickiness.”
