Clean - Thoroughly clean the area to be treated using a Nad's Cleansing Wipe or non-moisturising soap.<br>Apply - Briskly rub wand between the palms of your hands for 20-30 seconds, remove the wand cap and slowly twist the end until gel appears at wand tip. When first used, this may take up to 20 twists. To ensure the gel melts with your body heat slowly and firmly apply a thin layer of gel in the direction of hair growth (hair growth should be at least 3-5mm or 1/8-1/5inches long. Only apply the gel over the hair you wish to remove. Any excess will wash away with water.<br>Remove - Immediately place cotton strip over the gel and firmly smooth over with your fingertips in the direction of hair growth. Holding skin taut, quickly pull strip off in opposite direction of hair growth. Remember to hold skin taut with the other hand and to pull close and parallel to the skin rather than away from the skin. Nad's Cotton Strips can be washed and re-used.
