TIPS for MAGIC POWDER:
Sweetme "i put a little bit of water on before the cream and it didn't dry out for me!"
Beachmama "If you do get any irritation, apply regular Desitin. It works wonders - just don't forget to wear old underwear because it can stain."
Beachmama "I followed the directions which said add "mix 2 heaping teaspoons of powder with an equal amount of cool water"......but that was too runny, so I added a little more powder. It needs to be thick enough to stay on."
Sweetsmom "However, I used a spray bottle to keep it moist and it was washing away the product so i discovered that applying more product kept it very moist. If I were to do it again, I would attempt to do it in sessions instead of all at once."
Beachmama "I would probably wait at least a few days after shaving to get the full effect. If the hair is too short and you have to scrape a lot, it might get irritated."
Llamaluver "use rubber/latex gloves when applying. "
Deb34 "I think i would use an old gift card(plastic like a credit card) to scrape with...thin , flexible and disposable...."
OTHER INFO:
Sirrahved "In case anyone else was confused, it is Magic, not Majic."
*Hair does not seem to grow back thicker or coarser.
*It either comes back as quick as it takes the hair to grow after shaving or longer, depending.
*You can not use it before laser hair removal surgery.
*Seems like it can be used just about anywhere, and on the face, but depending on your skin you may break out.
Sunsheyen "occasionally it itches, but i think thats to be expected with any hair regrowth down there regardless of how you remove it."
Sunsheyen "To answer the question about repeated use...i use it frequently. Not weekly..."

smash_effect "NO irritation what so ever!! My lower back, butt AND crack are still smooth! It's crazy how different everything looks Go for it if you are scared!! I always get irritation w/ shaving, even w/ bikini zone, but I had none w/ Majic. I used the silver bottle of powder mixed w/ water."
mmariee88 "I guess me and my BF should have tried this first..........We decided to Nair his hanging things...TMI I know, we left in on for about 8-9 minutes before he started screaming and tearing his his clothes off to jump in the shower. Apparently it burned his round members pretty bad. I had to lotion them and put baby powder on them after the shower."
kmarie "my hubby used the cream on his area too and he loves the look and feel also."
Dragnfy "Now... Are yall sure it won't burn in the butt crack? The worst pain I EVER had was when I burnt my crack with nair!! I really want to get some of this stuff & use it *if* it won't burn me up!!"
Tiggerlily5278 "I finally got up the courage to use the magic cream (i had the normal cream in blue container). i used in *down there*. I got too paranoid, and took it off after 5 or 6 minutes. It took 1/2 the hair off. I'm gonna try it on my legs for longer amount of time, then try to get the courage to do it again *down there* for longer amount of time. It smelled like nair. On the container, it says "fragranced". They should say "smelly" instead! No burning though."
*pEaNuT* "LOL!!! I used it on my lower body parts and it really worked!! I have never tried the crack of my butt. GOOD LUCK!!! *hugs*"
Kayiena "Got the magic powder at walmart. It's the silver can, w/ aloe and vitamin E, and we used on me. He's up later this week for the treatment We did all of the lower vicinity, with fantastic results. The only irritation actually came from the spatula we used to scrape it off. And I had DH do it all for me, which was a humbling experience to say the least, but it worked SO much better than trying to do it myself! And the key to the whole experience is to scrape it off. Do not just rinse, it won't come. Scrape somehow, using something, then it works great. DH said as he was scraping it off that it looked like cake frosting from hell. Gross huh?? Men.."
SweetMe "I got regular formula, but if you are worried, get the mild (you do this after you click on the product it has a drop down menu and you can select which you would prefer). I used it all over my y bits...although some cysters left a 'landing strip'. I'm not very artistic and knew i'd make a mess of a 'landing strip', so i went for gold, took it all off! To everyone else, i'd do my butt cheeks n 'crack' if i could reach em :S!"
VivC "i'd do my butt cheeks n 'crack' if i could reach em :S!" That's my comment, too. And how the heck do you gals manage to SEE your cracks to check out the amount of hair. I can FEEL hair back there, but I can't remember the last time I was able to see my crack! I'm just not that flexible!"
Kayiena "my best recommendation is find a friend, or make a friend, or someone...but lemme tell ya, having someone smear cold creamy stuff on your most sensitive regions, then leave it for 5 minutes and scrape it all off, takes some major trust. DH, the brat, got his camera phone and had the gall to take pictures, while I had my butt up in the air, covered in the white stuff. I about died when he showed me the pictures. Then he had the nerve to ask me how to upload things! ACK! Thankfully, he'd never do that. But man, he has some serious blackmail material on me now!"
Vivcrayton "You could make it a girls night - order pizza, magic cream each others' cracks, watch videos."
Innkeepermommy "I made a paste and tried to apply it with a spatula and finally said forget that and used my hand. I spread it all over, including my rear end. Waited 7 minutes. Then wet it with water from the shower and rubbed it hard with my shower puff (one of those plastic mesh scrubby things.) My hair is all gone! And I can't believe how much was on my backside! LOL I had no burning at all. I highly recommend the SILVER can. The Skin Conditioning powder with aloe & vitamin E. Your whooha deserves aloe & vitamin E LOL "
VivC "OMG, Christy. yes, your whooha does deserve the best!"
Kayiena "To keep the stuff wet while it worked on me, DH got the spray bottle out! So yeah, picture this, on the bed, on my hands and knees, with my butt up in the air, covered in white stuff, and he's standing behind me spraying me with a spray bottle. Yeah, moments to cherish! NOT!"
Beachmama "I did it 4 or 5 days ago and i'm still smooth!! I love this stuff!!!!!! good luck!"
Crazychayce "OMG!!! Okay, I've read all the posts about the magic cream designed for black men and their sensitive skin. If this is a cream/powder for the face why is everyone using it on their cracks??? ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
BeachMama "I haven't had any problems w/ ingrown hairs, but i've only been brave enough to use it on the back porch and not the face. It has been 2 weeks i think and it's still pretty thin and barely there."
Rozlynn "And now I feel like such a porn star LOL - There is not a hair left anywhere! I would totally recommend this to those who havent' tried it. Next stop to see if the DBF notices and Likes..." "Update: Still feeling like a porn star and BF LOVED IT!!!! then we used it on him and his dangles...VERY NICE... This stuff didn't burn an ounce, and no bleeding like with Nair. I can't wait until the 36 hours is up so I can do more hehe TRY IT DO NOT BE FEARFUL"
Donna1976 "I know that this is off subject but i use the Magic powder on my face. It works great. I have never had any irratation except if i leave it on too long. People who know me look at me kind of weird when i buy it but hey it works."
BeachMama "Magic cream is soooo much better than Nair! It looks like it's working for the guys too. Maybe I can convince DH to try it out too on the dangles!"
Llamaluver "I will be doing this again, because it works and is cheap, but i will be wearing gloves. ALso i was surprized that my pale irish skin wasnt irratated at all."
Sweetsmom "I used the gold can...it was wonderful!"
HannahE "I tried this over the weekend and it was just as fabulous as all of those other people said - I'm hooked!"
Carlayvette "It is a bit sloppy ...but I am really smooth. I had went swimming over the weekend and bumped into one of my friends and she was like your skin is so soft..."
Chunkymunky1224 "I did it!! I love this stuff! It has a horrible perm smell but it works great! I thought my dh was gonna have coniptions cause of the smell but he likes the end results. Instead of a spatula I have a detachable shower head I used and a sponge. The hair just fell right off."
Sirrahved "I love the results! It didn't smell that bad, either. Certainly not as bad as Nair, and not as irritating. I feel smooth, too. Not like when I shave and it's all prickly. I'm feeling so nice down there, I may just have to go get my piercing! Thanks SO MUCH, ladies, for recommending this! I want to tell everyone I know!"
MelodyGrace "If I wasn't prego, I would go out TONIGHT and try it!"
Gijoelswife "After reading it yesterday i went to Walgreens and bought the silver can. Its amazing. So smooth."
Jb1227 "It works great! It didn't hurt or anything...I would recommend it to everyone."
Beachmama "I was thinking " it has to be better than Nair"!!! I tried Nair once and it was horrible - like having a super bad diaper rash! "
Sweetsmom "I used Nair a couple of times and it made me bleed. I need to try this! Even on my crack..."
destin2baMOM "this company is gonna be rich from all us cysters!"
Sunsheyen "To answer the question about repeated use...i use it frequently. Not weekly...and i just go all jungle woman when i can. the only problem i have found is occasionally getting a hair bump or 2 on my butt. never any problems anywhere else, and i use it down under as well. the butt bumps are more pimplish with maybe a little hard center, but nothing even close to those horrible ingrown hairs i know we've all gotten at some point. i love the smoothness...as a hairy woman, whenever i get really smooth (face, legs, cooter or butt Lol) i just cant stop rubbing lol!"
