Saving up for laser hair removal would be better than wasting cash on these shaving and waxing products

No. 5: Nair Hair Remover Lotion with Baby Oil, $5.87 TotalBeauty.com average reader rating: 4.5*
Why: The biggest complain readers had about this depilatory: "Nair removed hardly any hair!" The second most common gripe? The smell. One reader says, "I thought the baby oil would make it smell better, but it didn't. It smelled like baby powder and sulfur -- like a baby that needed a diaper change ... eeew!" As if the first two points aren't convincing enough, "It also gave me the worst chemical burn I've ever had," adds a reader.

Very helpful article. I'm looking for a better way to remove hair and now I know what I should avoid on my next trip to the drugstore.

The Schick Intuition was not the best razor I have ever used, but I did like it because it made shaving super fast because you didn't have to mess around with shave gel.

GREAT AND HELPFUL TIP'S. I AGREE CHEAP RAZOR'S LEAVE ME VERY UNSATISFIED.

I would never use the one on the second page. I have it and its from a long time ago. I'm scared to even use it.

I used Skin so soft by Avon and it did not work at all.

This slide show was so helpful, and I'm very glad I've never used ANY of these products!(:
