At-home options include ready-to-use wax strips, water-rinse sugar or gel waxes, hard wax beads that are melted and removed without strips, and roll-on/roller applicators.

Many kits are designed for legs, bikini, underarms and arms; several formulas also list facial areas such as the upper lip, cheeks and chin.

Products are available unscented as well as in scented varieties, commonly including citrus, vanilla and strawberry.

Application methods include ready-to-use press-and-pull strips, roller/roll-on applicators, and hard or sugar waxes applied with a spatula. Heating options include microwaveable formulations or warming in boiling water; some gel/sugar waxes rinse off with water after use.

Many products state results last around four weeks (about 28 days), while some sugar or hard-wax kits advertise results up to eight weeks.
