O.k., if you purchase the pot wax, the soft wax, you're going to need to get this turned on at least 2 - 3 hours ahead of time. It takes a while, you're going to need to be prepared. Know that you're going to be doing waxing, get this turned on, allow it to melt. It melts a lot faster with the cover on. There's a high, medium and low. On low is plenty hot enough, you do not want this too hot. The areas that we're waxing are going to be lip, sideburns, chin, those are very sensitive areas so low heat is plenty. If you're going to be using a hard wax, this is great for last minute decisions because you can put this in the microwave 30 or 40 seconds and you're ready to go. So we'll put this in there for about 30 seconds and see what happens. Make sure it's plenty melted, but just make that decision. Are you the kind of person that plans ahead and you know that you are going to be waxing in 2 - 3 hours to get your wax turned on? You're going to be waiting around for your wax to melt and forget you have it turned on which is, which happens often and it gets left turned on, it gets left on. Which I don't think will hurt the wax but it's probably not very safe to leave that on. Or the microwaveable wax, that's ready in 30 seconds, which is my preference. I'm kind of a spur of the moment, ready to go, kind of girl. So, which wax are you going to use?
