This review is from: Veet for Men Hair Removal Gel Creme 200 ml (Personal Care)

After having been told my danglies looked like an elderly Rastafarian, I decided to take the plunge and buy some of this Veet Creme as previous shaving attempts had only been mildly succesful and I nearly put my back out trying to reach the more difficult bits. Being a bit of a romantic I thought I would do the deed on the missus's birthday as a bit of a treat so I ordered it well in advance and, working in the North sea, I considered myself a bit above some of the characters writing the previous reviews and wrote them off as soft office types...oh my fellow sufferers how wrong I was.

I waited until the other half was tucked up in bed and after giving some vague hints about a special surprise I went down to the bathroom.

Initially all went well and I applied the gel and stood waiting for something to happen. I didn't have long to wait. At first there was a gentle warmth which in a matter of seconds was replaced by an intense burning and a feeling I can only describe as like being given a barbed wire wedgie by two people intent on hitting the ceiling with my head. Religion hadn't featured much in my life until that night but I suddenly became willing to convert to any religion to stop the violent burning around the turd tunnel and what seemed like the destruction of the meat and two veg.

Struggling to not bite through my bottom lip, I tried to wash the gel off in the sink and only succeeded in blocking the plughole with a mat of hair. Through the haze of tears I struggled out of the bathroom across the hall into the kitchen by this time walking was not really possible and I crawled the final yard to the fridge in the hope of some form of cold relief.

I yanked the freezer drawer out and found a tub of ice cream, tore the lid of and positioned it under me. The relief was fantastic but only temporary as it melted fairly quickly and the fiery stabbing soon returned. In addition, due to the shape of the ice cream tub, I hadn't managed to give the starfish any treatment and I groped around in the draw for something else as I was sure my vision was going to fail fairly soon.

I grabbed a bag of what I later found out was frozen sprouts and tore it open trying to be quiet as I did so. I took a handful of them and tried in vain to clench some between the cheeks of my arse but this was not doing the trick as some of the gel had found it's way up the chutney channel and it felt like the space shuttle was running its engines behind me.

This was probably and hopefully the only time in my life I was going to wish there was a gay snowman in the kitchen which should give you some idea of the depths I was willing to sink to in order to ease the pain. The only solution my pain crazed mind could come up with was to gently ease one of the sprouts where no veg had gone before. Unfortunately, alerted by the strange grunts coming from the kitchen, the other half chose that moment to come and investigate and was greeted by the sight of me, arse in the air, strawberry ice cream dripping from my bell end pushing a sprout up my arse while muttering..." Ooooh that feels good ".

Understandably this was a shock to her and she let out a scream and as I hadn't heard her come in it caused an involutary spasm of shock in myself which resulted in the sprout being ejected at quite some speed in her direction. I can understand that having a sprout farted against your leg at 11 at night in the kitchen probably wasn't the special surprise she was expecting and having to explain to the kids the next day what the strange hollow in the ice cream was didn't improve my status...

So to sum it up - Veet removes hair, dignity and self respect .........

Shock Grin

I really shouldn't read threads like this when trying to doze off. I was laughing silently so as not to wake up DH, which I did anyway because the bed was shaking so hard, and he wanted to know what was so funny.

I was in tears of laughter by the second paragraph and had to pass my phone to him for him to read the last one as I could no longer speak for laughing so hard.

Now I'm stood in the kitchen making a coffee because both of us are wide awake again thanks to this!

Thanks for posting it OP!

i do love it when amazon reviews go mental.....im still trying to recover from the Paul Ross framed print reviews of old.

TodaysAGoodDay · 23/08/2012 23:31

Thank you Stepford, it's just taken me 2 days to read all the reviews. Absolutely hilarious, because I read the Tuscan Whole Milk ones at the same time. Crying with laughter at some of them, brilliant!

SingingSands · 23/08/2012 23:32

I remember the Paul Ross framed prints reviews! "If my house was on fire, I would save this, and one of the twins". Haha!

picnicbasketcase · 23/08/2012 23:34

I rather liked the reviews of tinfoil on Amazon Grin

bubby64 · 23/08/2012 23:35

Crying so much with laughter from half way through that it took me ages to read the ending, also cried my contacts out - passing iPhone to DP now......

CointreauVersial · 23/08/2012 23:44

DH brought the Veet reviews to my attention a couple of months back (they were doing the rounds in his office) but I hadn't seen Bic for Laydees - oh, very good!

But it does make me think that some people have too much time on their hands!

MaMattoo · 23/08/2012 23:47

Smile aaaahh haa haa! DH wonders why I am laughing loudly Smile thanks for sharing!
