 Ouch at first! January 6, 2009
I just bought this a week or so. I recently began waxing my underarms and it was not as painful as I thought but it was messy. Ended up having to do it in the kitchen to be close to the microwave to heat the wax, and that is not the place for waxing your armpits! So while looking around for wax products, I came across this. I thought since it was the cost of a good bikini was job, I'd give it a try. I started first with the underarms. A bit uncomfortable the first time, second time not so bad. I have been doing it every morning, after you get the first big amount off, I think it is less painful to do it daily, since the hair grows in a different times anyway. Then you are only pulling 10-20 hairs out instead of 100-200. I certainly do not want to let it all grow out and go through the initial feeling again. Then I got the nerve up for the legs. I gave it a dry run and it was very uncomfortable, but became bareable after I got over the shock. I also tried the bath first, but it did not make a difference in pain level. I really think those first times it is more painful purely for the amount of hair that is there. So, if you try it once and your turned off by the ouch, try it again the next day. I also have been going over my legs daily for the past week. Did my toes, little ouch. I have gotten close to my bikini line, but I'll have to get back to you on that one, I have not gotten up my nerve yet. I was using the head with the rollers, but now I am using the one without. It gets down closer, but you do have to be careful using it on skin that is not so smooth, I pinched myself just a bit under the arms.
I definately will like not having to go to the salon to get waxed if I can get the nerve up to do the bikini area. I will also like not having to let the hair grow out to a waxable length, expecially the underarm hair.
I have no problems with the cord length, but I have an outlet right near where I use it. My last bathroom, that would of been a problem. Definately like the light and the additional trimmer/epilator heads. I would vote for a cordless unit though!
Unfortunately I can't compare it to other brands or models, but I am very happy to have this as my first epilator.
Great product bought it today. January 6, 2009
Great product just started using it. Stings a bit at first, but after you get going it works very well and hardly gets to you as far as pain goes. Contrary to other reviews it does NOT pinch the pinch are your damn hairs. Take it from me I pressed as hard as possible on many spots and no worries just hairs coming out. Took about an hour and most of the work is done on major areas of my body. Silky smooth!! Wasnt terribly pricey either. Guys/girls will both like this.
I have been using this system for years!!! GREAT BUY January 6, 2009
BEST INVENTION so far besides space rockets. Do not waist your time or money. THIS is the BEST PRODUCT you can get!!!!
 And the good reviews poor in January 6, 2009
At the time I put this on my wishlist there were maybe 400 some odd reviews. I am not a sadist. Nor am I a regular wax user. I had tried the 80's coil torture device. After reading the reviews I decided to try this again. The massaging beginners head made this a much more painful experience then it had to be. Halfway through the first time using it-I put on the advanced head and found it to be less painful and quicker. On the second use I could not even feel it. Remember hair grows at different rates. The only reason this did not get a 5 from me. Is that my legs are really sensitive so I got razor bumps which take about a day to go away. THAT I can live with since I did not have to epil for 3 weeks.
Very nice January 2, 2009
If you do not have a lot of hair, you will love this epilator, it is very nice. You have to get used to the way it works, because it created a little pain, but with few procedures, you will be fine.
If you have a lot of hair, you need more time. This product it is not very effective in terms of time. It takes a lot of time to take care of one leg, very long time, and the results are not perfect. But with few procedures, it gets better.
I own one, and I am sending one as a gift to my friend, I like it. So far it works well after extensive use of three people in the house for 4-5 months.
