Instant self-heating containers include a combinable reactant and activator used to generate an exothermic reaction for heating contents of the container. One instant self-heating container includes a target container, a pierceable activator container and a reaction chamber. Piercing the activator container causes activator to combine with the reactant and cause an exothermic reaction that heats the target container. The container may be used as depilatory wax dispenser. Another instant self-heating container includes an outer housing containing a contents pouch and a reactant, and capped by a lid having an activator chamber. Rupturing the activator chamber allows activator to combine with the reactant in an exothermic reaction to heat the contents pouch. Another instant self-heating container includes a flexible outer tube containing contents to be heated, a flexible reaction vessel, and a frangible activator vessel. Bending the outer tube causes the activator vessel to rupture and cause an exothermic reaction.

An epilatory device incorporating a flat elongate body having an adhesive paste medium applied to a first side of the body, wherein the ratio of the length of the flat elongate body to the length of the adhesive paste is from 1.25:1 to 1.15:1 and/or the ratio of the area of the flat elongate body to the area of the adhesive paste is from 1.87:1 to 1.65:1. The adhesive paste medium is a cold epilatory wax. It provides efficacious hair removal without leaving significant wax residue on a user's skin.

A template for forming a contour on an eyebrow, having a hair-removing means, having a flat, flexible support, which has a support edge that follows the lower contour curve to be formed for the eyebrow and a hair-removing region adjoining this support edge, which is coated with a hair-removing means, and having an optical positioning aid provided on at least one lateral half of the template for positioning the template relative to the eyebrow. For a simple use of the template with reproducible results, it has a positioning aid on each of the two halves.

An improved portable wax warming appliance that is used by an esthetician to melt wax and control the melted wax temperature for the purpose of removing body hair from an individual. The wax warming appliance can be controlled in situ and remotely by a user. The improved portable wax warming appliance can accurately show and communicate the amount, the consistency and the temperature of wax contained in the warming pot. The wax warming appliance can be preset to a variety of temperatures to accommodate different types of wax or set to a cleaning mode temperature. The wax warming appliance includes a holder to safely hold the appliance's hot lid while the user is in the process of removing or adding wax.

The present invention is directed to a device comprising a fabric substrate layer having a dividing line horizontal to the length of the fabric substrate layer that divides a first part coated with a skin-safe adhesive layer on one side and a second part that is not covered by the skin-safe adhesive layer; and methods of application therefrom.

The present subject matter provides a wax applicator configured to apply heated wax onto a skin of a patient for hair removal, the wax applicator comprising: a wax chamber having at least one opening; a heating element attached to the wax chamber, configured to heat the wax in the wax chamber, thus giving rise to melted wax; and a pushing element configured to push the melted wax out of the wax chamber through at least one of the at least one opening, wherein at least one component of the wax applicator is electrically operated, and the at least one electrically operated component is electrically connected to at least one electrical power supply. Additional embodiments of the wax applicator, and a method of applying heated wax onto a skin of a patient for hair removal with the wax applicator, are disclosed herein as well.
