Yoffee Nose Wax

I have used Nads nose wax in the past; initially as part of a joke I found I much preferred using it to trimming my nostrils with clippers and haven't looked back. When I came to buy a new pot this time I stumbled over the Simon & Tom version - and at almost third of the price of Nads, I decided to try it. After all, surely wax is wax and any formulated to be stuck up your nose is bound to be relatively gentle. The first time I tried it, I noticed some differences between it and Nads. This melts a lot more consistently in my microwave - it's possible my microwave is at fault, but the Nads tends to either remain semi solid or get so hot it could burn through an engine block; it's tricky to find the sweet spot. The Simon & Tom wax melted perfectly however and was ready to go within minutes. It smells OK (I wouldn't describe it as yummy but it isn't offensive either). The applicator is the main difference - the applicators included with Nads are wider but you get more with Simon & Tom (something I've never understood; the wax is useless without the applicators and you get a lot of wax - why not include enough applicators to use more than 1/3 pot of wax?). The different shape means that Nads is more successful at getting more hair at the opening of your nostril in one go but are impossible to insert too far. The Simon & Tom applicators are much taller and narrower and as such get hair from slightly deeper within the nose but can't get everything at the opening in one hit - having more of them means you can use a couple without issue if you don't get all the stragglers on your first attempt. If Simon & Tom (or Nads) were to adapt their applicator design to either give a slightly wider base (or longer tip) or perhaps to include a couple of different shaped applicators within each pack, that would be perfect and give the potential for better results. After all, everyone's nose is different! As for performance I think the Nads wax just edges it, but it's a difficult metric to measure when you're forcibly ripping nasal hair out. The pain is surprisingly little - it's no more painful than pulling a single hair out of your nose with tweezers. It's almost like the brain can't comprehend the level of pain that pulling 50% of the hair out of your nose in one go should generate. Once done, beautifully smooth nostrils are yours, enabling you to suddenly breathe deeper, smell things more clearly and register small amounts of surprise at just how cold early morning air is. Overall, Nads make a better performing wax than Simon & Tom, but not 3 times better and as such is massively overpriced in comparison - I won't be switching back.

Have used nose waxing in the past but with this kit there is no wastage as you can keep reheating the wax in the same container, just buy some more applicators. No waste unlike the other products, so in the long run much more economical

I've brought an almost identical product twice before, saw this and thought I'd try it out. I've always struggled with nasal hair. Plucking is not an option, it's incredibly painful and slow. Using clippers leaves a sharp stubble that itches like hell once they start to grow back. Waxing despite the stigma is relatively painless and there is a sort of sick pleasure pulling the applicator out and seeing the results! I will admit I sent pics to a lot of my friends! WAX The Yoffee wax has a lid. Easier to store after use, feels a little more hygienic when reusing. It has a more appealing smell due to the bees wax. There was no wax left in my nostril after application. A problem I have had with other brands. It also feels nicer after. Other waxes have left the inside of my nostril feeling a little raw. APPLICATORS The original kit I've used comes with 8 sticks compared to yoffee's 10. However the yoffee sticks are smaller. And don't reach as far into the nose. But saying that I was able to reuse the stick for an immediate second application in the same nostril allowing me to get a few of the tougher stragglers. You cannot do this with other products. IN THE BOX 10 applicators, a pot of wax and an instruction This differs from the alternative which has added antibacterial wipes, oil wipes, a lolly pop stick to stir the wax, novilty moustache protectors and the applicator has a second function. USE The instructions are easy to follow I would leave it up there for 90 seconds, this give you 30 seconds to build up the courage to yank it out before it's stuck there for life! I likes the product and would buy it again but may still need to use trimmers for those slightly out of reach hairs. Overall a professional and efficient product.

Tried it for the first time today. The wax didn't melt in 2 minutes as stated. Took 4 minutes & only then a very small part had melted. However that was sufficient for my needs. I was a little worried that putting it in the microwave may result in the wax becoming too hot but the temperature was fine. The applicator design means use is really easy. Removal of the wax was dead easy too & very efficient & suprisingly painless. Really pleased with it. My only grouch is that the applicators are supposed to be disposable but as replacements are not available seperately (you have to buy a complete new kit), I will be cleaning & reusing mine. Wouldnt be doing this if I was using it commercially but as it's only for me, it's fine. Do think the replacements applicators should be sold though so come on Yoffee!!!!

Try another brand. I used one disc in 900w microwave. Heated in bursts of 30 seconds. Took 6 mins before I started to see the middle melt a little but had to stop at this point because I noticed the plastic inside the door of the microwave had started to melt. Nothing had ever done this before and I put things in there for longer than that!! Did not get to use the wax at all. Waste of money and it’s going straight in the bin. Don’t buy

Work great, tho wasted loads due to the tub breaking in the microwave only had it in for 1min

I'm a guy who gets really, really thick nasty nose hair. I get mustache hair growing up in there, like the nose hair follicles got confused about where they were setting up camp and started growing stuff in the wrong place. The worst thing about them was how all those hairs would tickle my nose and make it itch really bad. Super annoying. Tried trimmers, but they only work so well. The majority of my nuisance-class hairs grow right up in the very front of the inside of my nose, right inside the ball where they serve absolutely no purpose other than to annoy. I finally broke down and bought this stuff. And then I let it sit on my desk for two days. I was dragging my feet about using it because I wasn't sure how it would perform, how messy it would be, and whether it would hurt, and if so how much. So anyway, I finally put the little pot of wax into the microwave and nuked it for four minutes. It actually needed more time, about six minutes total. Once at least some of it turns to liquid, you're set to go. By the way, in case you're wondering, the melting point of this stuff doesn't feel hot at all. It was pleasantly warm to my delicate nasal passages, so as long as you don't go total overkill on the heating process, you won't even get remotely close to burning yourself. So I go right for the target area of my most hated nasal residents right at the front of my nose. I dipped those little applicators into the wax, and shoved them up the front of my nose. You have to let the wax set for about 90 seconds before removing the sticks. I was a bit nervous at this point, because I have plucked nose hairs before and it doesn't feel good. How was the wax going to feel? I kept an eye on the clock, and when it was time, I grasped those applicators firmly, took a deep breath, and yanked them out. To my utter shock and delight, I didn't feel a thing. No pain at all. It was surprising. But I think most of this can be explained in how I executed the process. You have to have complete resolve when doing this. Yank those sticks out of your nose like you would yank your hand out of a fire. Do it quick, do it decisively, and it probably won't hurt much. It didn't hurt at all in my case. I ended up using all ten applicators to deforest as much of my nose as I could in one session. The wax remained liquid up to the end of my session, and I imagine it will do the same for anyone else as long as you don't waste time. There are some nice-nasty people out there who would be grossed out by this recommendation, but I would recommend that you clean off and reuse the applicator sticks. You end up with a ton of wax left in the pot, and of course Yoffee wants you to throw away the applicators and buy more, but cleaning these things off is super easy. You can make the cleaning process hard on yourself, but I'm going to tell you the easy way to do this. The trick to cleaning these things off super easy is to let the wax COMPLETELY COOL AND HARDEN. This is critical. If you don't wait until the wax is completely hardened on the applicators, it will be like trying to scrape recently used, soft gum off, and that sucks. It took me a few attempts to figure this out. Let the wax completely harden and cool. Once this has happened, simply grasp the wax between your fingers, and twist it like you're twisting the cap off a small bottle. It will pop and pull right off the applicator, and the applicator will look as though it was never used. Rinse and repeat for all the remaining applicators, put them back in their little baggy, and keep them on hand to use for the next go 'round. Throw them out once the pot is empty of wax and you're ready to buy another kit. Seriously, I can't recommend this stuff enough. If you're on the fence even a little bit, go buy it. Now.

Perfect for me... no more plucking one at a time

Ich bin wirklich begeistert von diesem Nasenwachs! Die Anwendung ist super einfach und unkompliziert – auch für Anfänger problemlos machbar. Das Wachs ist gut verträglich und angenehm auf der Haut, ohne Reizungen oder unangenehmes Ziehen. Das Ergebnis überzeugt absolut: Die Haare werden gründlich entfernt und es fühlt sich sofort sauber und gepflegt an. Funktioniert wirklich super – ich habe es bereits nachbestellt! Klare Empfehlung 👍

Produit efficace ! En fonction de la puissance de votre micro-ondes la cire n'est pas forcément facile à faire fondre, je recommande de faire petit à petit (30 secondes par 30 secondes) ou par bain marie... Usage indolore... Par contre petit point négatif pour l'emballage d'amazon , le produit est conditionné dans une simple enveloppe ce qui n'est pas assez solide, mon carton était plié mais heureusement sans incidence car cela n'a pas cassé d'éléments.
