st3rlite's Full Review: Nads No Heat Hair Removal Gel
Looking for a hair removal system?
If you like waxing, you'll really love Nads. It's like waxing only without all the mess, pain and heating involved. Nads comes in a sticky green gel like formula (though not nearly as stick as waxes), the formula washes off very easily with water, and the formula if it goes cold in winter, can be microwaved for a few seconds to soften for application.
Application
Nads is best applied to the skin using the applicator given. Using the washable clothes, smooth the cloth over the area where Nads has been applied, rub firmly, hold skin taught and pull in the direction opposite hair growth.
The hairs on the strip will show you exactly how well it works.
Reusable strips
One great benefit is that the strips are washable with simply cold water and the Nads comes off really easily. The same goes for rinsing skin after Nads has been applied, or articles of clothing. No worries that Nads will stain or leave a big mess like some waxes can.
My experience with Nads
In most general areas, Nads is pain free. I've tried waxing, depilatories, shaving and epilators. Nads works well ( although if you are willing to spend the money I'd buy an epilator, I'd recommend the Phillips Satinelle, if you are interested read the review here:

So what areas can Nads be used on?
The ads say Nads can be used everywhere...!!! And I have almost tried everywhere.. here is a quick run down of where Nads has or has not worked for me...
Legs:
The best results are on the legs. It is pain free and you can reapply Nads all over the leg area until you remove all the hair. Generally most hair is removed with one go, but if there is a few, you can simply re apply the strip with the leftover Nads on it, and it will remove the hair.
Knees:
Knees are tricky and generally will not work with Nads because of the curve.
Arms:
Nads works well on the arm area if you need it. It takes away even small and very fine hairs. Regrowth is several weeks later.
Under arms:
I wouldn't recommend using it here as it seemed to do nothing at all, probably because of the curve under the arm. It stings abit cause the area is more sensitive, but only removed 1 or 2 hairs.
Face:
I was curious, so following the TV demonstration, I tried it on my eyebrows. The result? A huge chunk missing from my eyebrow that EVERYONE noticed!!!! It does take the hair away but with the size of the strip, and the fact that the Nads when pressed down by the strip does spread out, you could take off much more hair than you wanted.
If you do want to try on the eyebrows, be extremely careful, and cut off a small thin strip of the Nads cloth. Make sure you can see any hair you DONT WANT to be removed, because if this is covered by the cloth, most likely it too will be taken away.
Final verdict
Nads is a relatively cheap way of removing hair. Regrowth is unnoticed until about 3 weeks later. It didn't irritate my skin at all (and my skin is really sensitive and usually reacts to products), there is a slight amount of preparation and cleaning up involved, but not as bad as waxing.
