I had high hopes for these but honestly, the generic sample wax beads that came with the wax melting pot I bought worked much better. This wax dries harder and crumbled even when left on a matter of seconds, and is totally ineffective at removing leg hair. The only good thing was the applicator the cones with it, which is wider and stronger than the wooden popsicle stick types. My advice is to try a different brand and not waste money on this brand.
