I hope I'm not getting in a rut, going on and on about hair removal. I've been wearing glasses since I was seven. A few years ago I saw an ad for Lasik surgery. They posed the question, "wouldn't you love to wake up in the morning and not have to fumble for your glasses?" My answer: "yes, but I'd rather wake up in the morning and not have to shave!"
The other day, I mentioned Moom 4Men which a reader clued me on to. I overanalyse stuff, sometimes to the point of paralysis. I'm working on it.
There are many sugaring products (which this is). I like the fact that it's organic. Their website's FAQ shows their product being used on the upper lip area. The accompanying diagram clearly showed a woman's lips.
I initiated a short e-mail exchange with their service department. I asked:
Can Moom 4Men be used on men's faces? It's unclear. Also, what is the difference between the men and women's products?
The next day they replied:
M4Men should not be used on mens face [sic] as the hair is to coarse. The difference is the essential oils. Mens MOOM has Aloe Vera and Buswellia.
Please make sure to read instructions carefully. MOOM should never be used hot, only warm. The thiner [sic] the layer, the better the results.
I followed up with:
Are there any other areas where use is contraindicated? The neck or chin perhaps? Are the oils really different or can we share the woman's Moom?
and recieved:
It t [sic] should not be used on men's face including chin and neck as the hair is too coarse. Yes, men can use the woman's MOOM. If you have any other questions, please do not hesitate to contact 1.800.492.9464 and our customer care department will gladly help you with your queries.
I got the feeling they wanted to end my e-mail discussion, but I was done anyway. I do plan to order Moom. For women. :)

Alternatives
One of my readers clued me in to Moom 4Men. I have a couple of questions for the manufacturer and I'm waiting for answers.
It's a sugaring product, it claims to be "virtually painless" which I don't believe.
Normally, when there's a product for men and a product for women, I gravitate towards the women's one. Hair is different enough on men and women that, if there's one specifically for men, I think I'll have to use it. However, that's one of the questions I asked the company. The other is, is it OK for men's faces. They say it's OK on faces, but, again, men's and women's facial skin and hair are very different. Interestingly, the women's product seems to be in two flavours, one with lavender, one with tea tree. Both are estrogen mimics. The men's product has aloe vera.
There are other similar products, some for women, some for men, some don't specify (so for women, probably). There's a Nair for men. The Moom claims to be organic and with natural ingredients and since my reader likes it, I'll give it a try. I may do a side-by-side trial with Nads, another sugaring product. I'll decide in a few days.

Q: What day of the year is a command?
A: OK, this doesn't work in most of the English world, where they'd say "4 March."
