Youch!
Let me start off by saying OUCH! Lol I’m a hairy gal. As in, man-hairy. I’m in my 40s and I’ve had dark, coarse hair on my face since I was in college. I’ve also spent all kinds of money on trying to get rid of it including waxing, electrolysis, laser hair removal, depilatory creams, and shaving. Nothing works for me. My genes are too stubborn I guess.But let me tell you… I am T I R E D of shaving my freakin’ face every day. We’re talking mustache, chin, upper neck, and side burns. It sucks! And by the end of the day? I’m growing a 5 o’clock shadow. Nothing makes me feel less feminine than this crap.All of that being said, this was my first time trying an epilator. And let me tell ya… this s.o.b. H U R T S lol. I think I’m a pretty tough old coot… but maybe not. I tried it for the first time tonight. I went without shaving for 24 hours and I’m thinking I should’ve waited a day or so longer. I tried it on my chin and it was yanking out hairs left and right. It’s actually sorta satisfying to see that this little unassuming device will literally pull the hair out root and all.Luckily the pain does not last. However, my face is crazy amounts of irritated from it and I did put some soothing cream on it to try to get it to calm down. A lot of hairs were missed but I decided to call it quits for the night and try again tomorrow when they will be longer.My biggest concern is how often I’ll end up having to do it (dummy-fast hair growth) and whether or not the irritation and bumps will go down in a timely manner. I will happily update this review with more info.Update #1:Okay so I went at it again 12 hours later and was able to get more done. It still hurt like crazy but I took my time with it and tried to not overdo it. I decided to get as much as I could tolerate and shave the rest. A hot shower helped with swelling a LOT. I also used some toner and a gentle moisturizer after.Update #2:I tried more on my chin 24 hours later and surprisingly it didn’t hurt as bad as it did at first. I think staggering it like this is helping me build a tolerance. Cuz lemme tell y’all… I was very close to packing this bad boy up and sending it back lol. But I honestly think that if you keep your expectations reasonable in the beginning and just do what you can, you’ll get used to the pain. That being said, I worked on my upper lip and that mess hurt worst of all lol. I also did my sideburns and the area below my belly button and those didn’t hurt at all. Really though, I’m still amazed at how this thing yanks out the WHOLE HAIR and the root. What feels like tiny stubble on my face is actually pretty long when I look closely at the hairs it’s pulling out. I’m really thinking that over time, this will at least help reduce the amount of time I have to spend on my face. I’m not worried about hair growing back thicker or quicker cuz it already does lolUpdate #3:Okay, y’all. This little device really is a keeper. I’ve been using it a couple of times a week on my chin/neck and really have built up a tolerance. It doesn’t hurt NEARLY as bad as it used to. I use it multiple times (every other 2-3 days) because of the way I initially staggered it; hair grows back at different times, etc. I use the low setting and basically hold it upside down and stroke upwards with it (starting at my neck and go toward my chin), going against the grain. Now, when it comes to my upper lip? That’s a WHOLE different story lol. It’s still super painful to me up there, so instead of strokes, I dab it here and there, keeping my lip/skin taut. I also use it on my chest where I have some hair growth between my breasts (lucky me!), continue to use it on my sideburns, and the space above and below my belly button. I tried it on my ankle and HELL NAW lol. Those of you who use this on your legs have a level of dedication that I absolutely do not have lol. And as for the underarms? No way, dude. I’m not even attempting that.I’ve seen some negative reviews where folks are complaining that it doesn’t catch the peach fuzz. Well, consider yourself lucky, sweet cheeks, because your problems could be WAY worse than fuzz lol. No, this doesn’t grab peach fuzz at all and I am thankful for that.I do feel like I eventually need to let it be for a week or so and give everything a chance to grow out so that I can cut back on doing it so many times during the week. But my hair also grows stupid fast and it’s really not a big deal now that my tolerance has built up. If you’re considering this, just stick with it. I promise it DOES get better. Also: I tried lidocaine spray to help with pain… didn’t do JACK lol. Don’t waste your money. Use aloe vera to help soothe redness and irritation/bumps. I make sure my face is super clean and moisturize after. The irritation afterward is practically nonexistant now. Changing my 4 stars to 5 because hallelujah I am no longer shaving in the freakin shower every morning!

Beginner review
I am a complete new to epilating. I had never heard of them until I was looking for women’s electric shavers and stumbled across them. I had to Google. They seemed a little scary as the consistent complaint was they hurt!I’m not a fan of waxing. I also have attempted to pluck with a tweezer so 20 tweezers sounded painful! But the idea that it gets better as you go, I thought maybe I could suffer a little and make it though. I almost purchased a diff braun epilator but opted for this one as it’s a beginner. And I figured, in worst case scenario, I could use the attachment as an electric razor.I have chin hair that is super annoying, not. Erh lady like and I have to shave daily. It’s annoying hence why I was willing to endure some pain.First use. Oh my gosh, it does hurt. It actually made me bleed in a few spots. Lot like lots of bleeding but tiny pricks of blood. I thought, maybe I used wrong. Looked up. Apparently this can be normal when the hair is in a blood vessel. So I continued on a different section working around back to where it had made me bleed. I also had to break it up into diff days. I got curious and oh my gosh, it had pulled out a lot of hair !! It yanks all of it. I was only focused on the black hair but it go everything.Second day. At it again. And yes, still hurting especially in spots where I had not completed the day before. Some more bleeding. Pretty much same scenario except where I went back over spots where it had missed, it didn’t hurt as bad. I assume bc it’s wasn’t yanking so many hairs out lol3rd day; only a few spots as painful as first day but on a whole, could already tell it was decreasing. Less bleeding. This time I completely the task. And would see what happened in a week.A week later, some hairs growing out but not near where I started. Still painful but could tell pain was decreasing. Less bleeding. Then a few days later, had a few more hairs popping up probably bc I broke it up over a few days during first time. And decided to work on my side burns. Lol again, the pain! So new areas are like a first time and yes, it’s painful.Ok, so I think I’ve had for a month now. I just did it again. Hardly any pain. Lol a few owes but not too bad. No bleeding. I actually was able to go quickly and even turner the speed up. Felt like I was winning at this lol. I’m still impressed with how many hairs it grabs onto. I look in mirror and I don’t see but a few. But then I go to clean it, and I’m Like wow!!! I’m also charging it for the first time battery lasts a decent amount of time.Here’s my tips from 1 newb to another new. I found the first time better to go slower. Fast hurt like a motha! So try both ways and see what hurts less. If it’s too painful, take breaks and even break it over a few days. Keep at it and it does get better. Also, I found when there is a lot of hair gathered inside the epilator, it does hurt more as it seems to start yanking hair more so empty and keep going. Going against the grain does hurt less imo. feels like less yanking but is kind of hard to do if doing on chin. Pulling skin tight helps. And applying some pressure so on skin not hovering.As far as assesories and attachments go, they seem ok. Nothing to brag about. The piece to turn epilator into razor, does not get a close shave. I tried with the guard and straight foil razor. Not impressed. The bikini shaver seems to be pretty good. I didn’t use for bikini but did use on face. Got a close shave so assume it will work well. There is a piece that’s confusing. The top has a blade like a regular razor and the bottom has a whole for an epilator. I’m not brave enough to use this piece nor do I understand why someone would? I have not tried the piece without the massaging rolling pins. I assumed it would work better as it’s supposed to be the beginner piece I believe.The button is supposed to show red when you apply too much pressure but I am using on my chin therefore can’t see it. This would be one complaint about design however unsure how they could fix this. Maybe a ring light as I am using on a mirror when doing this. Of course, many are probably using on legs so probably not an issue.My opinion, if your tired of plucking and shaving regularly, buy it! Yes it’s painful at first but it gets better and soooo worth it. It also makes my skin feel super soft. It would probably help if I exfoliated but who has time for that?

Works well for a quick shave.
This removes hair farely well. It cN be hard for it to grabbhair that is laying down on the skin.

It’s agreat shaver, it’s missing the Australian plug.
Jan –
Very disappointed that the epilator didn’t have the right plug to use in Australia so the product can’t be used

My red-head daughter has been using the this for some time now and has been happy with the results. It’s gentle enough for her sensitive skin and does a good job of removing hair without causing much irritation.It’s worth noting that she has fair hair, so I can’t speak to how well this would work for someone with darker or coarser hair. Overall, for her it’s been a convenient and effective solution for smoother skin, and she prefers it over traditional waxing or shaving.I can’t speak to how well this will work for anyone who doesn’t have the fair hair that red heads are known for, and suggest anyone considering using this to be mindful of how their skin and hair type might respond, but for fair-haired users like my daughter, it’s been a solid choice.
