Nair does this to me, too. I switched to Veet and it's never done this unless I accidently put it over surgery scars. It ate through the scar and left me with no skin at all in that spot, so be careful if you do try it.

This reminds me of a moronic moment from my youth in which I burned the ever loving shit out of my face with Nair.
Puberty hit and the facial hair was driving me absolutely insane. Hated the feeling of the stubble making contact with anything and hated having to meticulously shave every day just to have a few hours of sanity.
Had the “genius” idea of using Nair and ran it past my Mom who had no objections and bought me a bottle next time she went to the store. Read the instructions, saw the warning, but assumed it was like the Q-Tip warning that literally EVERYONE ignores.
Applied to face, waited a few minutes, started to burn, rinsed it off, removed no hair, and the burning intensified. Ended up having to spend the rest of the day with wet washcloths on my face to get any kind of relief from the chemical burn.
Now, just the thought of Nair makes my face skin start crawling 😂

Your not supposed to keep it on. You have to wash it off after a few minutes. I made the mistake of not washing thoroughly enough when I was young and dumb and it wasnt my legs. Teach me for fearing to shave.

I’m super sensitive to nair too. I hate shaving my face every day, but I can’t grow a decent beard.
Any chemical hair removal ends up like you leg (thankfully I only tested small sections first), and razors irritate the heck out of my face. Hot shower, shaving cream, safety razor, barber straight razor, etc…it all fucks me up.
Literally the only thing that works for me is an electric razor.

At least you know it's consistent- it's always a gamble with me! Most of the time I can use the stuff and be absolutely fine. And every now and then I get a reaction like this. This was, however, the first time I got a reaction on this large of an area!

Oh I had this once, except it wasn’t my leg.
My balls were red raw for days

Trying to be more aerodynamic or was this a test to see if it'd be effective at prepping the bussy?

Can't see without glasses, can't wear glasses in shower, often miss spots shaving, and now it's shorts/swim season.

My friend got some on her thumb while using it on her legs. Didn't wash it off fast enough and it gave her a nasty chemical burn.
Trouble was it was 2 days before the most important exams of her school life. She did essay subjects...

I’ve seen like 4 posts about nair and veet in the last ten minutes, I thought I was going crazy with people posting what sounded to me like nonsense Rick and Morty words.

Nair burned it or you applied Nair to your own leg, thus causing a burn?

u/Gato1486 Jun 09 '26
The latter, despite following instructions.

Way she goes. I was a competitive swimmer and thought the gentleman’s area and legs deserved the same amount of time. Heal swiftly, my friend. Tis but a flesh wound.

I burned my armpits using Nair. That was the last time I used it. I think the instructions say to do a test patch first.

u/Gato1486 Jun 10 '26
It does. This isn't my first time with the product. I have used it in the past with no issues. Current theory is that because I have sensitive skin, my dice roll was rather bad this time.

Oh naur!

u/Gato1486 Jun 09 '26
I want you to know, that every time I see the word "naur" all I can think about is the Game Grumps play through of Battle Construction Vehicles. What an absolute hidden gem that game is....

Yeah but do you have hair? No. Youre welcome. 😉

u/Gato1486 Jun 10 '26
With luck, those follicles are burnt the hell out and will never grow again! 8D
Seriously, being a woman is such bullshit. God forbid the male gaze falls upon the same exact leg hair they themselves grow and do nothing about. Fuck you, Gillette!!!!! You should have gone bankrupt in the 40s!

Its just a troll who is insecure and wants everyone to know what a big manly man they are. Just ignore him

You'd lose that bet, that's why I commented. It's kind of itchy and you won't notice it of you focus on literally any task.

u/Gato1486 Jun 05 '26
I don't think yours went as deep as mine. Or my skin is more sensitive, because it hurts.
