Since I am a chronic waxer, I thought everyone who said this was painful were just a bunch of babies (sorry ladies), but the pain is nothing! I don’t know, maybe I’m a masochist, but I like the way it feels on my legs, but when I moved to my upper arms, it was a bit of a shock, and I did feel more pain there, but again nothing I couldn’t handle. I just love the results. My underarms have been smooth and no bumps! Make sure you keep your skin taut to get the best results! My legs are a different story, the first time I used it, I didn’t heed the warnings of my co-worker and just went all out with a leg full of hair. Oh man did I have really bad ingrowns and red bumps. The bumps calmed down a lot a few hours afterward, I also used the Prince’s ingrown hair gel. That really helps with the itches and ingrowns. That was the very first time I ever used it. I used the pre-epilation wipes, epilated, showered, and then used the ingrown hair gel. The epilator has gotten SO MUCH BETTER EVERY TIME I USE IT AFTERWARD! I have used it three times since then and I still get the occasional ingrown, but I have been exfoliating a ton, which is what helps the best. EXFOLIATE! EXFOLIATE! EXFOLIATE! Or else…

The first time I used it I got really brave and decided to try my bikini area…MAN OH MAN DID IT KILL! I sucked it up and got the area done, but it is very scary to do that area because you have to stretch the skin and the angles make it more challenging. Luckily this comes with the shaver WHICH IS AWESOME! I now epilate only the bikini area (the leg and crease) and shave the remaining and I shave everything without the guard and I have yet to cut myself. I try to be extremely careful.

I did get red bumps, but I have very sensitive skin, so it is pretty normal for me regardless of shaving or waxing. Overall I think this is a great product, I love that it is cordless. And really if you can deal with the pain (which I think is nothing on my legs and underarms) then I would reccommend buying this product ASAP and start saving from not getting waxed! The hair stays away just as long as waxing and I am no longer ripping off layers of my skin!
