Melts easily in a warming pot. Spreads easily, pulls off without pain. No need for paper or fabric strips, no need to powder first because it doesn't stick to the skin. Smells nice, like roses in bloom. A little goes a long way. I bought it for my rand daughter and decided to try it on my underarms since I don't get hair on my legs. I only get 3 or 4 hairs on my pits but they came right out without any stinging, burning, itching etc. This wax removed my grand daughter's stubborn leg hairs without a problem. Neither of us had an allergic reaction which is a huge plus. I definitely will purchase again.
