I have very coarse leg hair and have tried Nair and other creams to remove unwanted hair but shaving is the only thing that works for me. I tried waxing, too painful. Any other suggestions for thick coarse leg hair?

Have you tried Veet? Works better and doesn't burn. The little squeegee they give you really helps

I'm in the same boat as you, sadly. I have coarse leg hair (German and Irish heritage working against me) and sensitive skin. Nair makes me red and itchy, and besides which it doesn't remove the hair at all. I tried the alternative, VEET, which might work for you, but that irritated my skin also (though it takes the hair away better than Nair, and comes with a little plastic edge razor to ensure strays get wiped away).
I've been wanting to try waxing, because shaving is a pain in the butt, and I have a pretty good pain threshold. My suggestion to you is VEET. Or, if you have a good income, you can try electrolosis - which is a series of laser treatments for your legs that slowly eradicate hair altogether. Goodluck!

Same here; Nair just made things smell bad & did not work. Any thoughts about trying laser or sugaring and if that works? For me, only shaving seems to do it. Good luck!

Avon has a good product. Skin so Soft Hair Remover...worth giving it a try.

At first I thought the question was about our D.Nair ( former Singapore President ) who is now in "exile" in USA and whether he now works for anyone out there.
Sorry. I can't answer your question but I used to pluck my small mustache regularly.

yeah, it works for me....it may be that you're not leaving it on long enough...you can leave it on for up to 10 minutes. if it still doesn't work, you might need to try some extra strength stuff.
