i don't use this product on bikini area because it's too painful, instead i use wax.
i would recommand this product ,it works fast and its painless, it saved me lots of money getting my boddy waxed every month, its pretty quick and lives the skin smooth and hairless, the only problem
this is a great product...i use it as a supplement to waxing, for places that are harder to wax, and also for the little hairs that waxing sometimes misses.
let me preface by saying that i have been waxing for over 10 years, so i find that there is no pain associated with this product on my legs.
i highly recommend the product for anyone who needs time efficiency & flexibility and does not have an unusually high pain threshold (if you ever waxed, you can certainely be friends with this one).
"waxing" this is a best way, this removes hair from the roots..and the hair which grows back is much lighter and growth becomes less in due course, but one has to wait for hair to grow long to get
i had the same experience when i had my legs waxed and the esthetician said it was a histamine reaction.
it does hurt the first time, but it is much like that of waxing.
i have tried shaving and waxing my legs and chin, but it was awful and expensive to have done professionally.
i have heard for years about how painful these products are--and since it was going to be either waxing (expensive!) or getting one of these, i thought i'd try it...
it does smart a bit, but then so does waxing.
after messing around with depilatories, waxing, regular razors, scrubs and finding nothing that works well, i decided to try this.
i had an older version of this product; it is a neat little apparatus; it is the next best thing to waxing!
good product, nice alternative to shaving and waxing (which is so messy)
i had never used an epilator or even waxed before this product other than eyebrow waxing.
the product doesn't remove hair as well as wax.
after regularly waxing, this product was a breath of fresh air.
as someone who did the waxing for a year, this is a great product!
i think the hairs grow back a bit quicker than waxing as well, but it is super-easy and a lot less painful than waxing.
i have done my underarms, my bikini area (most of it- not 100%- i may still use some wax here) and started my legs today.
while this is painful (but not as much as waxing), it is worth it.
removes the hair efficiently so it's quicker than waxing and not as messy!
i am used to waxing and really thought it over several times, i didnt think it could be as good as waxing.
i used to wax but it was getting too expensive and i had to let the hair on my legs grow so long before i could get it removed (i have thin but dark hair).
and while at first, the pain is similar to the first time waxing, or quickly removing a strong adhesive bandage, it does not take long to become accustomed to it.
(my husband nicknamed it the nazi-lady.) i've been waxing my legs for several years, but it's too expensive to get done at a salon, and so messy to do at home.
if you have had a wax before, it is similar to that.
i did two waxings before trying this product.
hair doesn't have to be as long as it does for waxing, and the more taut you keep your leg skin, the less painful it is.
a trick to make it less painful if you have never used an epilator before is to get your legs waxed first, then start using the optima as maintenance.
i used to get waxed because it takes too long to remove hair, but this is very quick.
it kinda hurts a bit for me cuz my pain threshold is really low but it's way better than waxing.
i would recommend this to anyone who is sick of having to shave everyday or worry about waxing and wants to be hair free for about 3-4 weeks.
i'd been getting my legs waxed for 10 years and this is the 1st time i have even considered stopping.
but there is no redness, burns or enlarged pores like waxing.
i like the epilady because it is much cleaner, quicker, and easier to use than waxing.
but i really bought it for my underarms, and i am 100% satisfied with the fact that it gives the same results as waxing, except it's fee and i can do it anytime i want.
i still believe waxing is more efficient, just more sticky and messy.
for anyone sick of shaving and who want's to save some money on waxing i recommend this product.
it can be painful if you shave, but if you're used to waxing, it's not too bad.
not as good as wax in pulling hair, but does its work pretty well and it's always there when i need it.
it has paid for itslef in sparing me the expense of getting waxed (professionally).
ok first off awesome product, but it does cause pain though no more then waxing.
it is the 1st epilator i have used but i must say the experience was far better than waxing.
i figured it would be about the same discomfort level as waxing, but i was wrong.
it kinda feels like getting your legs waxed just a bit less painful.
and its like waxing, but less mess.
i won't be going to get my eyebrows waxed nearly as frequently now that i own this!
i hate waxing and really hate those hair remover creams.
i will never wax or use cream hair remover again.
definitely a must-buy for anyone tired of razors, cremes, or waxes.
the expense and time of getting waxed was more than i was prepared to give up for vanity.
it's great being able to get such a close shave without messy shave creams, gels, or lotions...or painful waxing.
you can use them on your facial hair too if wet shaving gives you ingrowns and you hate waxing...just uh, wash or wipe off the foil if you use it on your privates first, lol.
i've waxed, shaved, and lasered, at various times.
i've tried every kind of wet razor out there, i've tried hair removal products and waxing...
it is a little painful, less painful than waxing in my opinion.
i had been through depilatory creams/foam (yuck, never again), home wax (too messy, painful, and it removed like..
and i was not being a big baby - i had had my legs waxed before.
a cost much less than that of wax and a skin much softer than shaved!
compared to waxing, this is cheaper and less painful.
i use it mainly for touch ups between waxings, though the different length options make it feasible to use for almost any type of hair trimming.
*it is not a razor(if you are wearing a bikini you will still need to shave/wax) and does not remove hair for those reviewers who gave it a bad review based on that.
if you're looking for something to give you a close shave, get some nair or visit a salon for a wax.
anyone who tells you differently is covered with wax or hidden in perfumes.
in fact it gets so close that there is a spot under my nose that appears i waxed my face!
i am pretty much an all wax girl with very light hair color, so an electric shaver is not really on my radar screen.
though it isn't the most comfortable sensation, i find it much less painful than waxing or using nair.
i've waxed for 12 years.
i bought this to be used on the bikini line and i would rather be waxed.
pros: easier, cleaner, and more convenient than waxing, but just as effective.
