I can use this anywhere. My arms, bikini line, legs, back, underarms, tummy. It hurts though if you are not use to the feeling of each hair getting pulled out of the root. It doesnt pull out every single hair from my arms, but that doesnt matter as long as you cant see the hair. The shorter the hair, the less it hurts. So when I use it one my legs, i use it after I shave for touch ups. I love it, its easy to use anywhere. It is a little loud, but i can deal. Ive never used any other epilator before so I cant compare, but i do recommend it.
Beats manual tweezers!

For the size of this little bugger, it does a terrific job of hair removal and lasts quite a while on one set of batteries. It's important to use this product over tightened skin for the most comfort during epilation. There will be less pulling of hair if you do this.
Great Little Product

I've been using EpiSlim for 2 years now and it's the best 20 bucks I ever spent. I have spent hundreds if not thousands on other hair removal products (but not laser) and this takes out the hair and I have to use it less often. I have blonde but strong facial hair on my chin, cheeks, lip and neck--yuk! (thank you menopause!!!)I use it every other night for about 5 minutes and I am hair free. Even use it on my sideburns. Just a few days ago I tried it on my arms, and whoa, it worked great! One more place I don't have to use a hair removal cream...that I use on my legs and private areas--waxing is too costly and too painful. Epislim is a lot less pain, in my opinion, or else I've just gotten used to it!
Super product!
Great discovery!!

I have to say it is one of the best things I've bought lately. For a few years now I have been using Bliss at-home Poetic Waxing kit for the light blonde hairs on my upper lip that seem to shine in certain lighting.
When I first turned on the Epislim I was immediately intimidated. But i used it and was amazed. It was not at all harsh on my skin like the RIPPING action of hot wax which my mom is convinced left her with wrinkles. This got all the hairs off my lip, with no pain (maybe i'm just used to the extreme pain of waxing) -but this really did not hurt. All the hairs are gone in less than half the time of waxing---waiting for water to boil, wax to get hot...and then i would have to keep reapplying more wax to get the stray hairs.
I used to dread having to wax my lip every month - but with the Epislim it was easy and fast. I could do it in the morning before work right along with brushing my teeth.

I ordered this because I just don't have the time to get to the salon for regular waxings and I have bruised myself trying to bikini wax at home.
This hurts just as bad as a brazillian, but without the risk of bruising. Works best if you have already removed the hair before and use this to grab the new growth and keep the bikini area shaped. It's loud though - everyone in the house will know what your doing:)
Bottom line - if you can't budget the time to keep up with salon waxing - this is the next best thing without being dangerous!
Okay

The item achieved the desired results easily, but while I am fuzzy and getting fuzzier at 54, I am blond and fine-haired so the emjoi was not overly challenged. I would definitely recommend this method over waxing for folks with annoying but not terribly coarse and thick hair growth.Thank you, whoever you are, for inventing this gizmo, and thanks for the friendly, prompt service.

Hi I've tried everything - waxing, electrolysis, laser, tweezing. But for the money, time, and results, Epislim is the greatest thing I've tried. A few minutes once a week to catch hairs in different stages and you're beautiful and hair free. Some pain, but no biggee.

I am so pleased with the Emjoi Epi Slim. I use it to remove facial hair and it works like magic. It pulls out the hair in one easy sweep and I don't get any unsightly bumps. It works so well that I only need to use it once a month. Folica is an excellent company they are fast and easy to work with.
I love my EpiSlim Hair Remover

I am in my mid-sixties, and within the past year, developed what could almost be described as a beard. I had a couple of professional waxes, which worked great, of course, but are really beyond the limits of my budget. I ordered the EpiSlim Hair Remover, and have used it twice so far, and I love it! I suffer from constant facial pain and wasn't sure I could tolerate the pain spoken about in other reviews. Well, I'm happy to say that for me personally, I experience absolutely no pain when using it, and the results are great. Needless to say, I am extremely pleased with my EpiSlim Hair Remover.
What a Bummer for a Shaver

This product is not what I expected. The only hair that was taken off was the fine hair on my legs. It took too long to cover the body hair that was on my legs and underarms. It HURTS! I did not get any satisfaction! Forget this one for sure.

Worked as intended, although will not remove very short hairs, must then tweeze. Slight pricked feeling when removing fine hair but I think the sensitivity will lessen with continued use. Delivery was with other items and was prompt.
better than plucking

This got rave reviews from others and that is why I purchased it and it does the job somewhat but one must use it at least once a week as it doesn't get all of the hairs. I am somewhat satisfied but expected more....
Fantastic Product!!!!!

I just got this product last night and my face is baby soft and clear. My makeup went on flawlessly. I have been using the larger Emjoi for years for underarm and bikini area until I got laser hair removal on those areas. The large Emjoi IS NOT to be used for facial hair!!! I also have had my face laser'd 10 times and was pleased with the results until I started using Rogaine for thinning hair. All the blond fuzz on my face (which lasers don't get) turned dark. My eyebrows started growing so fast I couldn't keep up with tweezing them and I actually started to grow hair on my forehead! After one use of the EpiSlim all my facial hair is gone. It hurt a bit but the laser hurts much, much more. You will get used to it very quickly. And please also note that the EpiSlim is not to be used for your legs. That is what the larger ones are for. I am extremely please with this product as I have been with all the Emjoi products. I was thinking about getting laser hair removal again but now I have save over a $1000 for multiple treatments. Thank you so much!!

Good product. I have a serious problem with hair growth in my chin and the product work well. It tokk off the hair from the root, but do not clean the area completely. Hair need to have certain lenght for it to work. I did not find it painful, some areas develop a rash but not really significant. It's quicker than a twizzer but for finishing the area you would need to use the tweezers.
Great but not perfect

This product does what it is supposed to pulls out hair, but don't let anyone tell you its painless, because it hurts, but the pain is worth it, because it works really well. Sometimes I think it cuts the hair instead of pulling it out, but I can tell it pulls most of them out by the roots. Also sometimes you have to go back over the spot a few times. Not silent either. No more painful than plucking or waxing, it is better than anything else I have tried though. I will be buying a bigger one in the future. Also folica.com is an excellent company to work with, they sent my product in less than 24 hours from when i ordered it.
Thanks,
Cat
Loved it!

It lasts a long time on two AA batteries; trip to Mexico and another to Europe! Great for small areas of the body and for touch up on legs. Great value for the money, too.
I was hoping for more

This thing doesn't work well for me. It seems to just break off the hairs rather than actually pulling them out by the root, which doesn't accomplish much; and it misses more than half of them. Even going over the same area repeatedly didn't get all the hair, just generated quite a bit of pain. I wouldn't mind the pain part if it actually worked, but it didn't. I tried this on legs and bikini area rather than face, so maybe it's just the wrong tool. However, with the poor performance I got from this I won't be spending $100 for the bigger one - if it's the same technology I can't see why it would work any better.
Nope!

its extremely loud and painful especially if you have thick hair. its good for little areas or smalled missed spots but thats it. overall it painful and if you can't take too much pain then i dont suggest it. i thought i'd get use to it eventually but NO it seems to be just as hard everytime.
