Have any of you used nair?

Well I usually shave down there but I get little  red aftershave bumps and when I went to the pool the were very noticeable. I was told that nair products don't leave those bumps and you just wipe away the hair. I have never used it before but I wanted to go swimming again tomorrow and didn't want to have the aftershave bumps, so I was wondering if nair really works or if any of you have used it and have comments about it.
