This was by far the worst wax I have ever used. No strips are provided so you have to use the wax alone, however you have to leave a very think and even layer to be able to pull off the skin. Even when you think it's even, it breaks off into small rips causing more frustration and discomfort. It's not water soluble either. Used half a tub just on my arms. With other brands, a whole tub will last me 2 entire body waxes. This was a waste of money.
