I will start by saying this- I highly recommend this product, so much that I already bragged about it to my friend and convinced her to purchase it and she is excited to receive her package. I have never used an epilator before so I wasn't quite sure what I was getting into. I actually ran across this product when I searched "woman razor" on Best Buy (as a random "I-need-to-spend-money-on-myself-regardless-what-it-is" purchase) and this epilator came up in the search results. I did a little research to find out that this tool basically provides the same effect as waxing only using a tweezing mechanism instead. Call me a baby but I tried waxing my bikini area once and needless to say I didn;t even complete the ridiculously priced session. I would be lying if I said this does not cause pain. However, considering it's a tool you use on your own time and at your own pave its makes the hair removal process doable. If you need a break, you can take one. If it's too painful in one area (I have not been able to muster up the courage to complete my underarms) then skip it. Without a doubt this product is well worth the price (much less expensive then waxing that you have to make appointments for and sit uncomfortably with someone else). TIP TO FOLLOW: It is SIGNIFICANTLY less painful to use the device in the shower under running water. I also recommend doing some research on prep and aftercare for epilating as I learned the hard way and broke out with some pimples on my first try, due to my own ignorance and lack of education. In a nut shell: not only WOULD I recommend this product to others but I already have to all of my friends. The attached photo is of my legs that I haven't touched with the epilator or a razor since I used the product on 4/20/2020 (over two weeks ago). My hair is thick, black and typically grows very quickly so this was a life changing purchase for me. I cannot wait for summer!

First off, I had no clue this epilator came with so many extra things. It came with three caps (1 for the face), a razor head, a little cleaning brush, a little travel bag for the epilator, a charger, and to my biggest surprise, an electric face brush with 2 batteries. WHOA! I guess I didn't look into the product much but wow I definitely feel like I got my money's worth. Not only is the quality of epilator and parts great but even the face brush is impressive. I have used an epilator in the past that was almost a quarter of the price and although it did its job, this one is far better. I can tell it is durable and will last a long time. I have already tried it on my legs, face, and underarms, and it worked perfectly. Keep in mind if you've never waxed or epilated before, it is painful the first few times but you will build your pain tolerance. This epilator got even the thinnest hair like peach fuzz off! Not to mention, it is quite a pretty epilator with the purple head and dial and glittery white bottom. Definitely recommend.

Getting this was perfect for us! Now I don’t need to spend tons of money on waxing. It’s a little painful, especially near softer areas like the stomach, but the first time is always the hardest!
