I used Nair for years, until I developed an allergic reaction to it. It works well if you can tolerate the strength of the chemicals and the smell! I was pretty pleased with Veet once I made the switch; its a lot more sensitive on the skin and generally has a lighter formula. However, I never got the smooth results from Veet like I did with Nair, so I've stopped using it as well. But my hairs is pretty thick, so I'm sure that affected the results. But I do suggest following the allergy test listed on the bottle for whichever product you decide to go with.
