BTW the "for men" line is just a marketing gimmick. Same active ingredient. Use the regular lotion. Nobody is watching and you are not a sissy for using "girl's" nair.
I have used nair and similar products and they all work great on me except on my chest. The skin is too tender and the hair too coarse there. If I leave it long enough to get the hair, it gets the skin too. If I take it off before it makes me raw, then it doesn't get the hair. Bummer. Especially in the "cleavage" area where my shirt can't rub and the skin is very delicate. On my nutsack, too... very sensitive to that stuff. Watch out doing your legs.
Works best when you do not let it dry out... spritz some water on it when it starts to dry out. Do not rub it in. You want it on the hair, not impacted into the pores of your skin. Other than that, follow the directions carefully, especially the part about doing a test patch.
Gyno usually starts out as very itchy nipples. The next stage will involve actual growth of breast tissue... small lumps around or behind the nipple. The nipples will not feel like they are chemically burned... just itchy and tender.
