The kit comes with a whopping 40 strips in varying sizes for your different hair removal needs. Results last up to four weeks and don’t require you to heat them up before you use them. The formula also doesn’t contain commonly irritating ingredients like dyes or fragrance and is cruelty-free. 

Pros: Comes with a post-wax care kit; Can be used on the face; Can be used on the bikini area; Comes with 40 strips. 

Cons: Some reviewers said it left behind a sticky residue. 

Customer Review: "I've been getting bikini waxes for several months but decided to try these at home. I'm surprised that these work great! The instructions say to use powder in the area before applying the strip so I used baby powder. I tried with and without powder and the powder helped. I preferred the small wax strips as it was easier to position them. If you've never waxed it may be more difficult for the hair to be removed but if you have waxed it will come out pretty easily and the pain was minimal. There was some wax left over but the kit contains a post wax wipe which removed it." — Ulta 

This under-$10 waxing kit from Sally Hansen is a quick and easy cure for all body hair, everywhere on your body.

The strips are also outfitted with tiny ridges that attach to every hair for a perfectly smooth finished result. The brand promises up to eight weeks of smoothness. 

Pros: Promises up to eight weeks of results; Reviewers say the kits are easy to use; Works for the face; Works for the bikini line. 

Cons: Some reviewers say it takes more than one pass to remove all of your hair.

These top-rated gel wax strips from Veet are formulated with good-for-you ingredients like shea butter, almond oil, and vitamin E to nourish the skin after you remove the hair. The pre-cut strips are dermatologist-tested and will seamlessly remove the majority (if not all) of the hair from the area after just one application. Plus, the formula doesn’t require you to heat anything up before you use—which means less mess and less to think about as you use them—and reviewers say they are great for thicker hair. 

Pros: Good for use on legs and armpits; Comes with calming wipes for aftercare; Good for the bikini line. 

Cons: Cannot be used on the face. 

Customer Review: “I’ve been using these waxing strips for years and they’ve always worked well for me. I recommend pulling them quickly rather than slowly to avoid sticky residue. My hair is very thick, yet these do a great job at removing all of it. I reuse the same strip until it’s no longer sticky/doesn’t remove any hair. I only wish more wipes were included.” — Target

If you’re a big fan of the Flamingo razors (we know we are), consider taking the brand's waxing kit for a spin. These wax strips are specifically designed to be used on the upper thigh and bikini line, but pretty, pretty please note that it’s not recommended for a Brazilian wax. This kit specifically stands out from the rest because of the yellow hue of the strips, which makes it crystal clear to see what hair you’re removing versus leaving.  

Pros: Reviewers say they're easy to use; Yellow color makes it easy to see where you're applying; Good for precision application. 

Cons: Some reviewers say the strips are too small to get all of their hair in one pass. 

Customer Review: "Amazing! Follow the instructions and it works great. I have sensitive skin and I’m often left with razor burn but these wax strips leave me pain free and without bumps or redness the day after. Plus the results last longer than shaving. Of course there’s some pain when removing the strips, it’s still waxing, but the after wax wipes provided with this kit allow for immediate relief that lasts." — Target

If you're looking for an all-natural formula, you'll enjoy this sugar wax from Nads Natural. It instantly softens once it gets warmed by your body heat for a no-fuss removal process. What's even better is that these strips aren't one time use—you can wash and re-use them as you please. The formula is 100% vegan and you can use these strips all over your body–including your face. The formula is cruelty-free and the strips are even made from 100% cotton. 

Pros: Results last up to eight weeks; Formula is vegan; Formula is cruelty-free; Strips are re-usable. 

Cons: Some reviewers said the wax was stickier than other formulas.

Customer Review: "This has been the best wax I've ever used to remove hair from my groin. It's not hot, and if you do it right, it's practically painless. Warm it up just a LITTLE, just to where it's not hard (it should hardly even be warm), and it'll be perfect. Here are a few more tips that have helped: be sure it's thick like a sheet of paper (so not super thick), be sure to rub the wax strip well (but not too much where it goes through), be sure you're skin is pretty taught, and don't pull out/away from your skin as you pull." — Ulta
