Home hot wax for Brazilian?

Can anyone recommend a good product for home hot waxing? Not the strips. Get my bikini line (Brazilian) done like this but thought I could save some time and money by doing it at home. Any ideas? Thanks

I used to do this, I discovered that it only worked if the wax stayed at the optimum temperature so I bought a salon was heater (as well as the salon wax, cloth strips and wooden spatulas). It was all too messy and time consuming in the end so I switched to an epilator instead.

Either option require a certain amount of dexterity I suppose. Funnily enough with both options I suffered from far fewer ingrown hairs than when I went to the salon for waxing, this was even despite trying several salons and usually paying a lot of money too.

I have tried this - once. Please note the word Once. To cut a long story short, which is certainly amusing after a few vinos, I inadvertently ended up glueing both 'sides' together. Took me blooming ages to rectify said situation, very undignified. Never again lol 😂!!

I have tried babyliss’s salon range in the past, both the regular pots and the peel off hot wax. You need the wax heater too, along with spatulas, wax strips for regular wax, pre wax cleanser and post wax lotion.

The products were fine, no issue there. Lasted ages, easy to heat up and control temperature

Personally I found the whole thing a bit of a faff and really messy, it’s hard to wax yourself and get the right angles. Takes much longer and you’ll probably miss areas. If you find bikini waxing painful, you’re better off going to a salon - you won’t learn the proper technique straight away and it will killlllll. At least at the salon they do a virtually perfect job in much less time
