Transcript
00:00My name is Josh, and I will be waxing my armpits.
00:05I think the first armpit is going to be much easier than the second armpit,
00:09because I won't have any idea how much pain the first armpit is.
00:12I'm a waxing virgin.
00:13I'm not that confident I'm going to be successful at this challenge.
00:16I think it's going to look really patchy.
00:18I think I'm going to put it on wrong,
00:19and then I'm going to have, like, half missing from the first armpit,
00:22and then I'm going to have to put it on again to the first armpit,
00:25and then it's going to be, like, bright red and bleeding.
00:27So it'll be fun.
00:30So we have Out Relief Wax Kit,
00:33and then Out Relief Stripless Hard Wax.
00:36Pain Relief Technology Helps Reduce Pain While Wax...
00:38Pain Relief Technology.
00:40I also feel like that's a strong word.
00:42Like, there's scientists, like, with beakers holding up, like, measuring pain.
00:46So I feel like Out Relief is kind of a lie.
00:51There's no way it doesn't hurt to rip out hair from your body.
00:54You literally do microwave it.
00:55That's scary.
00:57Like, because you know, like, that area between, like, of a hot pocket between ice cold and, like, lava?
01:02Like, I'm going to have to hit that with this, and it's either going to burn me or it's not
01:07going to melt at all.
01:08This is going to be great.
01:10I swear, I got a laptop, and it has fewer instructions than this.
01:13Look how happy these girls are.
01:15Like, I've never seen someone so overjoyed to hold their arm above their head.
01:19Hopefully, I can be as strong as most women are here and grow from this experience.
01:24And maybe I'll love it.
01:25Maybe I'll love it.
01:26Maybe this is a thing I do forever now, and this is my first introduction to it.
01:31Time to microwave.
01:33Easily the strangest thing I've ever microwaved in my life.
01:39Apply in the direction of the hair growth.
01:43Just that direction.
01:45Okay, ow.
01:47I already know this is going to suck.
01:49Now we put this on in the direction of the hair growth.
01:54I don't want to pull it off.
01:57I really don't.
01:58Alright, three, two,
02:01ow!
02:04That's gross.
02:06This sucks.
02:14I really don't want to keep doing this.
02:16Three, two,
02:19ow!
02:23Ow!
02:26Ow!
02:27Ow!
02:27Ow!
02:27Three, two,
02:30it hurt more than the rest of it!
02:33Ow!
02:35Shh!
02:37It said, okay,
02:39immediately touch skin with hands.
02:41I don't know why I'm doing this.
02:42Ah!
02:44This is so red.
02:45And I missed a few hairs,
02:47but I really don't care.
02:48I'm not,
02:48I'm not doing that anymore on this one.
02:50I can't.
02:51So that was awful.
02:52But we're on to the next one.
02:56Out Relief Stripless Wax.
02:58So I need to apply the pre-treatment.
03:01So it's not like pain-free,
03:03it's just,
03:04it's numbing my skin.
03:06Alright,
03:06I can deal with that.
03:07So I need to let this sit for 10 minutes.
03:11And I will
03:12see you then.
03:14Hot,
03:15but not too hot.
03:16So,
03:16it should be fine.
03:17Ah!
03:19I mean, it stretches less.
03:20This is already going way better.
03:21I microwaved it
03:22for a little longer.
03:28Okay, well,
03:29this is definitely on here now.
03:31So,
03:31there's really no going back.
03:33I don't want to do it
03:34because I don't think it's going to work.
03:36Alright,
03:36three,
03:36two,
03:37one.
03:37Ah!
03:38Ah!
03:39Ah!
03:41That sucked.
03:43Three,
03:44two,
03:44one!
03:45Ah!
03:46Ah!
03:46This hurts more!
03:47It's less of...
03:52I tried to rip it quickly.
03:55See,
03:56that sucks.
03:56That sucks.
03:57That got none of it.
03:59Oh my god,
04:00that sucked.
04:01That was terrible.
04:02Three,
04:03two,
04:05one.
04:07Okay.
04:09See,
04:10it's not getting all the hair.
04:12Ah!
04:13God damn it!
04:15Alright,
04:18I'm out.
04:18That was completely spotty.
04:20It's not a thing of the hair at all.
04:23Like,
04:23that just sucked.
04:25That was terrible.
04:26This week,
04:27I waxed my armpits,
04:28mostly.
04:29It was an experience.
04:31I,
04:32it hurt
04:33because I knew it was going to hurt,
04:34but I was amazed by the fact
04:36that the one with strips
04:38that was just like labeled
04:39regular waxing kit
04:40hurt so much less
04:41than the
04:43ouchless one.
04:44It,
04:45like,
04:45wouldn't pull off the hair.
04:47It would just get stuck
04:47in my hair
04:48and so I,
04:49I made it,
04:50I made it all the way,
04:52all the,
04:52beautiful all the way
04:53and then,
04:55like,
04:55half,
04:56like,
04:57half
04:57and then I just couldn't do it anymore.
04:59I just couldn't,
05:00because it wasn't coming off.
05:01I will say,
05:02overall experience,
05:04not great,
05:05ouchless,
05:05much worse.
05:06If you have the strength
05:07to do it,
