There are several methods for sugaring ......

IF you have a taffy-dense sugar goop, you don't need the strips. You
spread the taffy out over a furry part, make sure the hair is caught,
and then ........ rip fast while keeping the skin taut. To make this
goop, make sugar taffy with sugar and rosewater or lemon juice. You'll
need a candy thermometer to get up to temp. A candy-making recipe
for taffy will tell you the temp. It'll have to be kneeded, as I
recall.

If your sugar goop is like slow molasses, you'll need strips. Same
principle, entangle the fur in the sticky stuff and rip. To make this
goop, simmer sugar and rosewater or lemon juice until you can drop
some off a spoon into cold water and it is a thick viscous shapeable
ball (like making fudge).

They both hurt like $%^&*, unless your depilator is a very good judge
of temperature, and has FAST hands. Even then, it hurts like %^&*.

Neither sugar is better or worse than any other sort of waxing as far
as I can tell. The ones with chemicals cause rashes.

Sugars don't make immediate stubble, and if used regularly from the
onset of puberty (furriness) they may reduce the actual amount of bod
fur from ripping it out regularly. Thus, used as a regular part of
life in a furless culture, they will keep a lady smooth. After about
the 5th rip, endorphins begin to settle in, and in experienced hands
the sugaring isn't tooooooooooooooo excruciating......

However....
If you sugar an adult woman who has not sugared before and has an
average level of furriness ..... there may be a huge bruised area
where the sugar was pulled off , then a few weeks of furlessness
(while the bruise is fading into myriad colors) then there will be an
onset of bumpies, some of which will inevitably get ingrown and nasty.

Even ladies who must de-fur for their jobs (down to what is termed
"the landing strip") find there is NO perfect solution for bumpless,
painless, furlessness.
