 great August 27, 2008
I love it!
The first time using it was painful, but I was expecting that-- you just have to bear it patiently! then after, it's no big deal to do touch-ups once a week. Don't expect to use it only once a month, because there is always new hair growing in--but it is finer and easier to get rid of; and you do have to it less often.
I love the little light that helps me to not miss a hair! and the shape is nice; this is easy to use and works wonderfully, even on very tiny short hairs! love it!
I'm in love with an epilator August 27, 2008
I only review things when I really, really love or hate them, and this one definitely falls under the 'love' category. I have waxed and epilated for a couple of years now, and the epilator I was using just never seemed to get those tiny hairs. You know they're there, but can't find them until your legs are highlighted in the sun and look like giant, hairy caterpillars. The little light on this thing really spotlights those hairs- and the tweezer heads actually GET THEM! I tried it on the 40 head attachment, on high speed, with the massage roller dealies, and I didn't think it hurt at all. It tickled a little bit at first, though. This is by far the best epilator I have ever used, both for being painless and getting the most hairs/highlighting them. I recommend it to anyone looking to stop shaving or waxing.
Paid for itself after one use! August 26, 2008
Let me just say - I am officially converted. I used to spend tons of money getting waxed, and tweezed, and whatnot. Doing it at home is messy and can be dangerous, and having it done gets expensive. Because of my heritage, (thanks mom!) I am blessed with thick dark hair, and shaving is not a good option for me... I did some research into this product, and after seeing all of the great reviews for this particular one, I decided to give it a shot. I am SO glad I did! The thing paid for itself with one use, in one day. I got it yesterday, and went straight home and took all of my body hair clean off. Literally. And they don't call it "silk" for nothing!! My skin feels so so smooth, and I can't say enough about this product. Although the only thing I would warn someone new to this like I am - it is a little painful. I found it much less painful to epilate in short, firm, quick bursts, than to drag it over a large area of skin. The little rollers next to the tweezers really do help out, and after I got the hang of it, it wasn't so bad. Not painless, but 100% worth it. I will never shave again!! Thank you!!
Painful but worth the price! August 20, 2008
Quickly noted, it IS painful. I use this product between waxing every few months to stretch my $. I have to take breaks and am red after, but it is a great product and does what it claims. The light is great! I use in the shower stall before I turn it on and all the hairs fall in there. I bought mine at Target. Try it!
Finally no more daily shaving, in-grown hairs, or sticky legs! August 17, 2008

I love this epliator! I was a teen in the 80's when the epilators back then were horrible medieval coiled devices--I never could bear the pain. The grip and the light make it so comfortable and user-friendly.
To deal with the pain for newbies: I saw another reviewer's suggestions and used them--they worked. Soak in hot water for your first time or two, dry thoroughly, then use the massage head. Believe me, after you do it a few times, the pain goes away. (Think: plucking eyebrows. Hurts at first, but after a few times not at all anymore.) So run through with the massage head a few times, then you can upgrade to the faster attachment when the pain lessens.
To deal with ingrown hairs (A MUST TO READ!!): when you epilate, if you don't do anything to your skin to prevent ingrown hairs, expect ALMOST EVERY hair to become ingrown! I have dark, thick hair and was having to shave daily. When I first became smooth with the epilator, I loved it! I didn't think anything could be worse than the 5:00 shadow I routinely got on my legs every day with shaving. I WAS WRONG! After my first epilation, I tried using Prince Reigns a few times, but it was so gross and sticky that I did not use it regularly. When the first new batch of hair grew in, it was a horror! I was covered in in-growns! The thing about Prince Reigns is, it's pretty expensive, you have to use a lot of it, so the $25 bottle goes really quickly, and it leaves this gross sticky goo on your legs that doesn't get better throughout the day...it stays sticky until your next shower--and you put on more after each shower. I felt like my skin couldn't breath and was suffocating, plus I had to be careful not to rest my hands on my legs as I sat in shorts or a skirt or I'd have to go wash them again to get the sticky residue off. And it wasn't fun for my boyfriend.
In-grown solution: a good, course body brush. You know, natural bristles on a stick like at the health food store? I recently discovered body brushing (which, by the way, makes your skin feel FABULOUS!), and decided to see if it could help prevent the in-growns, and it does. My hair is super thick and grows in very quickly, and I have to epilate at least a few days every week (versus others who can make it 3-4 weeks). I've been using a body brush for a month on my legs, and the results are just as good, if not better, than Prince Reigns. My skin is also super soft and feels buttery (boyfriend LOVES IT!), no in-grown hairs, and no more sticky, gooey legs. My skin can rock and still breathe! It's better for you, natural, and way more cost-effective.
How to use body brush: Do it dry! Don't get the bristles wet. Every day before you shower, brush down your body from chin to toe. The bristles are course and it's another thing you get used to, but you'll crave it after you start. Make sure you really go over the epilated areas well. The brush removes dead surface layers, improves circulation, and polishes and smooths the skin. Easy, takes about 3 minutes. If you love your skin and like feeling beautiful, also look into getting a Clarisonic Pro facial brush. Trust me, you'll feel like a million bucks and look like it, too!
