A few people recommended Sally Hansen wax strips for bikini line. Saying it was so easy to use, etc.
I can't find the original thread to to back to ask my questions.
I finally bought it and it's not working!
What am I doing wrong?

Are you warming them up sufficiently between your hands before applying? Applying in the direction ig hair growth, pressing and rubbing firmly, and then yanking against the direction of hair quickly, while holding the skin down and taut with your other hand?

They dont work for me either! I use the Nair ones. They work better for me.

Tried them years ago. It was like trying to wax with a roll of scotch tape. Totally useless.

Nads or veet strips are the best. I find them comparable

Ugh I bought the very strips.
It didn't work.
And it was painful oww. Which would've been fine if it worked.
And I was left with pink sticky stuff all over me. I used the wipes, I used the marula oil that came with the Sally Hansen strips, and I was still sticky. 
So now what?!

All wax strips are gonna make you feel sticky and greasy.
Use Nair cream (special for that area. And get with the aloe in it), leave it on for 5-10 min, and then exfoliate everything away. 5 blade razor for touch ups. And I keep the Nair wax pro kit on hand as backup. (Stopped with the strips now that my preggo belly sticks out too much!)
What's awesome about the nair cream is that after a few uses, the hair grows back slower and finer. So it doesnt get itchy, and you don't have to "landscape" as often!

Consider an epilator. You will have to chose one that is designed specifically for this purpose, but it's like waxing without the stickiness.
