This product is so great that I bought a few for other people, too. This is good on both coarse and fine hair.

The first week, I just cleared a few hairs at a time, not trying to cover the whole area at once. By the 2nd week, I could use it everywhere on the same go, because half the hair hadn't grown back and there wasn't much to pull.

After about a month, I noticed that I really didn't need to use it every day. This amazed me, because I'd been using an electric shaver TWICE a day.

Some hairs don't grow back for ages, and the ones that do always grow in softer and wispier at the points, rather than thick, blunt, and prickly like they do when shaved. This is a million times better than any shaving (blade or electric), and there is no nasty chemical smell like with hair removal creams. Wonderful.

Warning: Being greatly enthused about this product, I later bought the top of the line rechargeable cordless Emjoi Light Caress, knowing it has twice as many tweezer blades and thinking it would be speedier and not need batteries. That more expensive product was a disappointment. The fancy gold-plated tweezer wheels are not as precision alligned on that expensive product as the stainless steel tweezers are on this wonderful little bargain. The more expensive product pinches.

I much prefer this little battery operated model, which can be used without discomfort. I'm tempted to buy a stockpile of them so I'll be sure to have some in 30 or 40 years, even if the company goes out of business. I never want to be without one of these.

Never tried anything like this before so opted for the least expensive machine as a trial. My major concern was pain. That was not really an issue, in some places it stung but nothing intolerable. There are only two working heads on this model so it is not quick. What surprised me was that it seemed to clip off the hair but not pull it out. It also missed a lot. I used it on my face and overall I don't think the experiment worked very well . Additionally it irritated my skin, leaving it with small bumps like a plucked chicken and redness. Ick. Back to shaving for me.

      Do as the instructions tell you. It takes several times before you see good results. A little pain at times. It is pulling hairs out by the roots. I notice that some hairs are not growing back. I will know more after using for a couple of months.

        The first night I did my underarms, upper lip and lower legs. A few days later I was brave enough to try the bikini line. Legs and underarms didn't hurt at all. Bikini line wasn't painful but I could definately feel it. It felt like electricals stings on my upper lip but I'm sure I'll toughen up. Thinking about buying another to keep in the car to handle missed spots when I am out and about.

          I have used this for a few months now. I love it. It does a wonderful job on my upper lip hair and chin hair. The first time I used it, it did hurt on my upper lip but as time went on I found that it hurt less with each use. The only place I find that it doesn't work well is on the curve of my chin. No matter how I position it, I can't get the chin hairs on the curve but other than that it works wonderfully. For this little price, it's a great buy.

              I've used this product for about 8-9 years. I've had both shoulders replaced & find this is the most comfortable tweezer product. I can even use it lying down in bed. It does hurt but so does tweezing and I find the longer I use it the fewer the hairs. I use it under eyebrows, between eyebrows, upper lip, cheeks, chin & underarms. I've just started to use it on the bikini line. It seems to be getting rid of ingrown hairs. So far I've convinced three others to use it and they like it as well. Those who are claiming that it pinches or leaves a rash, etc., are probably pushing it into the skin hard. Try a softer touch.. It does take a few swipes to get all the hairs but so does any other method. The benifits far outweigh the pain. If you stretch the skin, it doesn't hurt as much.

              I am a longtime epilator user and I have always just used the most basic, corded models. I picked this compact one up on sale and it is so amazing for underarms and bikini line. Although it is great for touch-ups, I find that it is best to use when trying to remove a patch of short hairs -- sometimes if there are only a couple hairs, it will miss for some reason. It is much more gentle than the full size epilator and more precise. I find it easier to maneuver. II continue to use the full-size one on my legs, but this has easily become one of my favorite devices.

                I've been going over the same patch of hair and have yet to see results. But it hurts, that's for sure! So what the hell is this thing doing anyway?
