Let me just start off by getting to the facts about MY experience with this epilator. It’s just like any other epilator meaning you have to keep going over areas because it doesn’t remove the ingrown hair, or the fine hair within one stroke like it states. The settings is either too fast or too slow when it comes to removing the fine hairs. I used this 3 times within two weeks because I hate to admit I’m a pretty hairy person. That should tell you your hair will grow back within a few days. Not 4-6 weeks. If you have a lot of testosterone and your hair grows fast like mine I would say you will be hair free for 2-3 days max! I used this last Friday and I have little hair spikes throughout my legs already. The Emjoi post epilation cream doesn’t work either, otherwise I wouldn’t have had to use this 3 times within two weeks. The other irritating thing is once you think you’re done removing your hair, you go back and find some stragglies that you know you ran the epilator over but can’t figure out how you manage to miss that certain area thus causing you to have to go over the same spot again.

Now the good thing about this is that when I started on one leg at 8:23 p.m., I was done with both legs probably before 8:56 p.m.. I cleaned up my mess and forgot I was timing my hair removal and remembered to look at the clock at 8:56. The reason I timed this was because my old epilator took me about 48 minutes to an hour to remove hair from both my legs. That’s very time consuming to me. I say this OK because it is fast but there’s nothing special that this does that my other epilator don’t.

I was told that natural dark blonds have the most follicles per square inch plus the strongest roots. Anyway I don’t like extra body hair in this millenium. Sally Hansen extra strength was the best product I’d found, Moom the sugar product washes off with water but the tempurature is trickier to gauge than with the petro products. Anyway, I have killed several epilators and this is the BEST. Big and strong. You can safely epilate your very intimate folds and creases without risk of cutting. Of course it hurts a bit but….what a butt!!!! Anyway it took years and I tried everything and since I don’t live in Manhattan and have a walk-in cheap wax boutique, this is the next best. Plus mechanical epilators do not remove the entire epithileal layer of skin cells, just a bit of a buff. You can stave off ingrown hairs with any toner or cream containing salicylic or glycolic acid or just use an exfoliating sponge or loofah a often a few days after the initial hair removal treatment.

Two words: Pain, inefficient.

Yes, this removes hairs sporadically, but leaves wide gaps to go over again. There are areas of the body that the pain is negligible, but others, IT HURTS!!!

I have used similar models of epilators, and this by far was the worse. I have returned the item and ordered one that I had and that finally had worn out. I would not recommend paying that much when you can get one that works a whole lot better for less money.

I never got this product and I was never reimbursed by amazon.com. I put in my address but my old address was stuck in your computer so it got returned to you and i am still waiting to get my money back. It would be great if you could look into it or send me the product at 56560 East End Rd., Homer, Alaska 99603. I was really disappointed because I had an emjoi before that broke when I was in Peru and I loved it. Thanks, Lorraine
