cicer

I periodically wax, but I use the unfortunately-named Nads stuff - it's a cool wax, so you don't need to get it HOT - if the room is cold, 5 or 10 seconds in the microwave gets it just fine. You end up thoroughly sticky, so it's best to lay out a big towel or sheet to sit on while you're doing it, but at least it washes off with cool water and no burns! (I do advise testing it after nuking it Just In Case.)
