Easy to use [SEP] I read reviews out it was very hard to open up the bottles which I found it very easy for me. The bottle was very hard at first and I just went ahead and heated it up with the lid on there on the stove and hot water and lid was able to come off really fast. No wax strips are included at all in this it's just the sugar wax. I found the wax very easy to use easy to clean up easy to warm up. Overall a rather good value.
