PERFECT PERFECT PERFECT PERFECT
I have not raved about a product so enthusiastically in a LONG time. I bought this epilator off of folica and it has been a fantastic investment. I usually pay the same amount just for ONE waxing session. It's saved me money and time, since I can tackle my legs, arms and underarms while sitting in front of the TV or on the phone (just make sure you put a towel under you though, as the plucked hair...read mores go flying everywhere). The pain factor? Not bad at all, compared to waxing. It's a little bit scary the first time with the noise and just the simple fact of not knowing how to expect, but by the second time I didn't even flinch. Feels a bit like the pins and needles sensation you get when your foot falls asleep, if I had to compare it to something. Works really well with my hair type too (dark asian hair). Got a Otherwise, PERFECT. I am completely in love and recommend this to all my friends. GET ONE!! You'll love it too.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 28 of 28 people said helpful

Finally, a solution to my 'miracle grow' hair!
I hate shaving. Or rather, I have having to shave every single day to keep up that smooth feeling. I have fair skin and dark hair that grows VERY fast. And even when I shave, you can see the dark hair roots in my legs still. Laser treatments are too expensive for me, so I wanted something that didn't include chemicals (Hair removal creams just make my legs turn red and blotchy and remove none ...read moreof my hair) that could give me smooth legs for at least a couple of days. I bought mine on Amazon and got a really good deal for it. I like that it's corded because it doesn't run out of juice mid-hair removal. I was SO scared to use it the first time because of the noise it made and how quickly the gold-plated tweezers were spinning. The first time hurt -- I was pulling hundreds of hairs out by the roots! After the first time it's a lot easier because you get used to it and there aren't as many hairs to pull out. I LOVE the light. I am so glad this model has a light because I can see even the fine, blonde hairs that I would otherwise miss. The shape of the epilator is perfect for my legs. I have yet to try it on my armpits. It's a little harder to get the bikini line because of the curve of the head so I'm thinking about purchasing a smaller version for that area. With a bit of contorting, though, I usually get that area pretty clean too! Mine also came with a massaging attachment. I used that for the first few months and then switched over to the regular head. The only areas I notice a difference in comfort are around my ankles. I prefer the massaging head for that area. I would recommend that any new user start slow and do areas one by one. It does take some time to do it, but if I have a spare hour, I can get smooth legs that last FAR longer than taking 10-15 mins. to shave every day. Plus, I don't have those obnoxious little black roots peeking out! I've also noticed that the more I epilate, the lighter and thinner my leg hair is coming back in. I REALLY like that.This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 25 of 28 people said helpful

Great Epilator!
Great epilator! Pulls out even fine, tiny hairs very efficiently. I am used to waxing, so the "pain factor" is bearable for me. (But you can always take a pure aspirin tablet 20 minutes beforehand if irritation is a problem!)This review is: Helpful | Not helpful | Inappropriate | 4 of 4 people said helpful
