I really like this, 28 Oct. 2007

I have to admit, I was a bit sceptical when I first saw this but I have to say that I was very pleasantly surprised. Not only does it get rid of the hair on my legs but it does a great job at getting rid of dead skin cells too. I know - nobody likes to think about dead skin cells lurking, but the truth is they are there and this product does a fantastic job of removing them. There are a couple of things to mention though - firstly, this doesn't take a couple of minutes to do - it's probably 5-10 minutes per leg, obviously depending on the amount of hair, and secondly you really do need to moisturise after using it.

The reason I didn't give this a 5 star rating is because I thought that it would be great for underarm and bikini hair removal too, but personal experience has taught me that these areas are a little too sensitive to be treated to a delicate sanding!! But then I suppose it is only really designed for legs so that was maybe my fault, but you have to try these...

An alternative way to get rid of unwanted hair, 5 Jun. 2009

This little device is a handy way to get rid of unwanted hair but because the head is so small it does take a long time. Also the little 'sanding' pads don't last very long so although you get a good supply with the product you need two or three for each leg.The on off switch doesn't work on mine but that isn't too much of a disadvantage as I just turn it off at the plug.

Not what I expected, 8 Jun. 2009

Quite a nice product to tell you the truth.Basically exfoliates skin and then removes hair although it does take quite a long time - 10 to 15 minutes per leg. Skin quite smooth but need to use the mosturiser. On the negative side, hair grows back quite quickly. Very similar to a razor in my opinion except for the exfoliation.
