Woman's HILARIOUS complaint about Boots wax strips goes viral

Facebook user Hannah Scorer has taken to her page to message high street giant Boots about her recent experience with one of their wax products.

'Boots, we need to have a word,' she says in the post, which has (quite rightly) gone viral, before going on to call the offering 'categorically the worst wax strips in the world'.

She then lists the things that could have waxed her bikini line more successfully, including 'candle wax, beeswax, wax crayons, George Evelyn, better known as electronic music composer Nightmares on Wax, and the 2005 film House of Wax, starring Paris Hilton.'

'You're probably questioning just how bad they could be,' she admits. 'Well, gather on the carpet because it's story time.

'Last night, I decided to use your wax strips to tidy up my bikini line. I know, right? You can almost feel the burn. But it's worth it for that silky smooth skin.'

She goes on to claim that she followed the instructions on how to use the strips: 'It's not rocket science, but it's best to be sure, isn't it? You wouldn't want waxing to go wrong, would you?'

'So, as instructed on the back of the pack I warmed a strip, stuck it down, endured the brief but childbirth-level pain intensity of ripping it off, and looked down, ready to admire a peachy beach-ready inner thigh.'

'Do you know what I saw instead, Boots? All the hair I'd just tried to take off not even slightly detached from its follicles. Except now, matted firmly into the hair was a thick layer of wax.'

She queried if Boots have ever touched that wax when it becomes separated from its strip: 'It is so sticky it could have held together the original Sugababes line-up. My bikini line was like the dancefloor of a really questionable club at 3am.'

'I was slightly panicked until I remember the wax residue removing moisturising wipes included in the box of wax! It will all be ok, I thought, for the wipes will resolve this.'

'I took one of the wipes and started trying to rub off the wax/glue/melted Push Pop hybrid. However, instead of rescuing my skin, the wipe becomes trapped and bits of it tear off and firmly adhere to my waxy, furry skin, like a series of tiny surrender flags.'

Hannah wrote the post at 11pm after admitting that the whole reason she'd bought the wax tips was in preparation for a date.

'I've been out of the dating game for a while and I appreciate things change, but this wasn't learning Tinder, this was my fanny looking like something from the Blair Witch. The Blair Witch, Boots.'

'So, I got in the shower, and exfoliated off as much of the gunk and tissue paper mixture as I could, before dealing with the area with a good old-fashioned razor. Or I tried. But the wax had to continue its campaign to ruin my life, and it immediately blunted the razor.'

Eventually, with repeated exfoliation the use of a large amount of very expensive oil, which Hannah said that she usually saved for special occasions, and a replacement razor blade, she managed to finish the job the wax strips didn't really start.

'My fanny looks like a bright pink newborn panda, but at least the hair is gone. So is my will to live and half the products in my bathroom, but at this point I'll salvage a win wherever I can.'

Hanna ended the post with a plea to remove the offending strips from shelves.

'So that, Boots, is why these are the worst wax strips in the works. Please remove them from sale immediately and gift them to the construction industry as an alternative to cement. Or pass them on to local councils looking for some anti-climb paint. Anything that doesn't involve hair removal really. Thanks in advance'

Boots are yet to reply to the post, but since Hannah shared it on the evening of August 25th, the message to Boots, along with a picture of the offending wax strips, has had over 4k comments and almost 2k shares.

'It is so sticky it could have held together the original Sugababes line-up' Dying' one amused commenter responded, while another tagged her friends saying: 'it wasn't just us! 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 these are THE WORST wax strips ever, this woman is not exaggerating in the slightest 😂 '
