Emjoi Epilator with Sensitive Attachment - Corded

I have to say I really like this product. My mom calls me obsessed with the hair on my body because I'm always trying to find new hair removal things that work. I've tried waxing, shaving, and all the dipilatories out there. Waxing was quick and easy, but it hurt, had leftover mini-hairs, and the wax and wax papers ran out quickly. I've thought about professional waxing, but it costs around $100 for half of a leg at the salon. I shaved regularly, but my hair grows so fast it cam back the same night. I've even tried those messy dipilatory creams that didn't remove all of my hair and I got the same results as if I had shaved. I'd always dreamed of being able to have soft, touchable legs. Then I found Emjoi. I love this product to death. When I got it about a month ago I didn't have very much hair to use it on. So I used it on a little of my arm hair. It hurt like hell, but it worked really well. I'm a person who doesn't mind too much pain, so when it hurt like it did it surprised me. I used it on my mustache area next (I wouldn't recommend that). I had tears rolling down my face, but the hair didn't come back until now (about 4 weeks later). I used it on my leg hair next. It hurt a lot, and I would recommend taking some pain pills or like an aspirin before you do it. I had to spend two days doing it (one on both of my lower legs, another on the top half). But I'm still waiting for my hair to grow in so I can do it again (this is 4 weeks later).So here's a summary:Cons:1. Hurts like hell the first time (so take an aspirin)2. Takes a little while to do3. Is a little expensivePros:1. Totally worth the money and will probably save you some on all of the hair removal products you buy2. My hair is still gone 4 weeks later3. Hurts, but I have the feeling I'll get used to it after a whileIf you want a quick and painless fix for your hair removal needs, this is probably not the product for you (but how many products are painless? You get a rash from dep., nick yourself while shaving, and pain while waxing anyways). If you don't mind a little pain, a little time, and like me, want the hair to be gone awhile, get this! It really is a great product!

I have been using this product for a little over a year and a half now. This product is best suited to:1. People who are too hairy to shave with a razor, and so would have to either shave every day, or have cheese-grater legs within 2 days of shaving2. People who don't have the money to wax their legs every month or soNow, I fit very neatly into the above categories, and so for me this product is a God-send. I could never have worn a skirt and felt comfortable more than 3 days after I shaved, but now I can go up to a week and half in a short skirt and feel comfortable. Now, by this time, there will be hair there, but it will be relatively sparse and thin.There are some cons to this product, though:1. It takes a long time! I take about an hour and a half to shave both my legs. This is because you have to go back and forth over one area quite a few times to get all the hairs out2. It's painful! The first time I turned this product on, and heard the whirring, I literally yelled for my mother. And the first time shaving was a trial. You do get accustomed to the pain after a while though (it never goes away - you just get accustomed to it), but it takes some practice. My advice is, have a warm bath, use the loofa that comes with the epilator, put on your ipod, and then have a go at it. Soon, you won't even think about the pain.Still, I would say if you're a hairy person, you really oughta get this product. It's reasonably priced, and more importantly, if you want smooth, touchable legs for longer, it is totally worth both the pain and the time. And I sure do love my skirts.

Once in a very great while something comes along that really does what it says. This product has changed my life. I have blonde hair that was getting coarse and long along my jawline, chin and neck (Thanks to my German grandmother!). Laser was out because of cost and it doesn't work on blonde hairs. Plucking became something I had to do every day in bright daylight to catch the one or two rogue black hairs on my chin and neck, cream removers worked well but the long term affects worried me, waxing was messy and time consuming. I avoided talking to someone in bright sunlight for fear that my "beard" was showing or I had missed a black one on my neck. I was a slave to my facial hair!Okay, the Emjoi Gold Caress looks and sounds like some sort of torture tool, but after a few passes on my neck and chin, it was baby-booty smoothe!!!! If you can handle the sting of waxing and plucking, you can handle this. It's a bit startling at first, almost like a small electric shock...that's just the hairs being quickly plucked out. I tried it on one leg and it worked just as well, haven't tried pits or (EEEEGAD!) bikini line. DO exfoliate the face before using to prevent ingrown hairs and the annoying pimples they cause.I have told four other people who bought this product and all are raving about the results! I never knew anything like this was out there...the wicked step-sister EpiLady was the last epilator I tried and promptly threw it away. This a HUGE and VAST improvement to the EpiLady!!If you struggle with unwanted hair, Emjoi it and relax...I don't know about 4-6 weeks, I usually do it once every 10 days. Still a HUGE improvement on my daily plucking before!!
