Emjoi Light Caress Corded Epilator

DanielleConcord, OHImpressedI have never tried one of these before but I am sure glad that I did! After reading all of the horror stories of how much this thing hurt, I was very afraid to start doing it, but if anyone has ever gotten anything threaded, it feels exactly like that. There is substantial pain, but your hair is being pulled out so the pain was nothing more than what I would expect. The bottom leg area hurts the most and I plan on going over them again in 2 days because they are not as smooth as I would like them to be, but every other area had incredible results. I am very happy that I purchased this product. It is worth every penny! :)posted Jan 9, 2009Link to this post

Gretchen ChenardNYVery HappySome of the woman I know screamed out in pain after only seconds of trying this. I dont find it unbearable. Some areas hurt more then others but are tolerable. My teenage daughters had to be held down at first but now use it on their own. I do find I use it on my legs more often then I would have to wax, probably because I think some of the hairs are breaking off and not coming out from the root. Those hairs that come back right away are still very soft and fewer then if I shaved. I love the results from the emjoi particularly in my armpits. Feels like there was never hair their in the first place and lasts for more then 2 weeks so far. It hurt for a few hours after (those hairs are tough) but I dont get that burning when I put on antiperspirant like I would if I had just shaved. It would be worth the cost alone for how happy I am with keeping the hair on my arms away, I just love how soft they feel.posted Sep 4, 2008Link to this post

AnonymousOhioWhat I Expected And UnexpectedWe all know our options when it comes to hair removal. Waxing can be expensive, shaving can be time consuming, and other alternatives simply do not work (unless you are willing to spend a lot of money). So, for the price I thought I would give this device a try. Lets not fool ourselves. No matter what people say, pulling hair out from the root is more than just discomfort, its painful. I was surprised that the most pain I felt while using this product was on my legs as opposed to delicate areas of the body. Using it on the underarms was somewhat painful, and the bikini line did not hurt at all. I elected to try the device on the rest of my arms and it was moderately painful. The results were interesting. After several times of use within a few days, my legs were never as smooth as when I shave, but it did remove most hairs. However, my arms, underarms, and bikini line remained smooth and completely hairless for a couple of weeks after use. Not quite the "up to" 6 wks that the product claims, but I was still pleased. I am sure different hair types would have different results. In conclusion, I would recommend this product simply for the results for the arms and bikini line alone. If you can tolerate some pain for beauty, this product just may be for you.posted Aug 24, 2008Link to this post

K. CusNYNo More Razors For Me!This is great product! I use it my, arms and legs. I have course dark leg hair and I wont lie it does sting/hurt there. First time using it on legs was worst, seems to be easier now. I used to shave legs every other day, now I use epilator once a week to get tiny hairs that are much finer than when i shaved. If youve ever been waxed then youll have no problem with this method of hair removal. If your not sure about buying this product because of other negative reviews, just do it and see for yourself. Everyones skin and hair is different. If you dont like it just return it, Im sooo glad I tried it!posted Aug 6, 2008Link to this post

LauraEast Buddah, GAYowza This Thing Hurts!I have not found that it is effective on my legs. I can feel the pain but I dont see results! I think that if I let the hair grow out more it would work better, but I just cant stand to wait that long. It worked well under my arms but the pain was so bad that I had to do it in several sessions. I wanted this primarily for my legs, so it has not been very helpful.posted Jul 18, 2008Link to this post

ThereviewerBoston, MaBest Choice Even Better Than ShavingI know it hurts. But how much it hurts depends on the thickness of your hair. I didnt shave many times before trying this so my hair wasnt very thick. Like shaving epilation doesnt make your hair and skin hard. The first time it hurt a little. Then after two weeks I could see small hair growing so I used it again and it didnt hurt. Last winter I didnt remove my hair for around 6 months and when I used the epilator again in spring it did hurt a little but the next time again it didnt hurt at all. I have used another brand epilator once and that hurt a lot. But this epilator is great. Now that I have been using it for a few years my hair doesnt grow back for 3-4 weeks and even then they are small and lot less painful or time taking to remove it. All my friends who have been shaving get very jealous because they have to shave everyday to keep it smoothe and sometimes if they cant get around to it for couple of days the hair grows and sometimes their boy friends feel it. I dont have to worry about my hair growing back and embarrassing me before I find time to remove it again. I would this is the best choice for anyone who still can epilate.posted Jul 15, 2008Link to this post

AprilUSALove It! Worth Every Penny.I read almost every review prior to ordering and was not a believer when I ordered. NOW I AM!! It IS painful; somewhere between natural childbirth and root canal without anesthesia but if you do take that hot shower, exfoliate well and trim the hair if very long, it works great. I have dark, very thick hair and it did not break when trimmed shorter. Pain lessens each time it is used and the hairs are now lighter in color and finer after using about 2 months. I used weekly at first but now just as needed. I told everyone I knew about it and they thought I was a little crazy until I showed them the proof. I tend to have ingrown hairs with waxing but not with this method. Had to get the technique down and that lessens the pain and time involved as well. Read instructions prior to using!!posted Jun 27, 2008Link to this post

CrCharlotte, NCGreat ProductIve never used one of these before and was pleasantly surprised. It rips hair out like a chainsaw. It does hurt, especially the first time you use it but it seems to lessen with subsequent use. You can see the root on many of the hairs that are pulled out which obviously helps extend the amount of time that it takes for regrowth. It also takes some time to learn how to apply the correct pressure but once you get used to it is worth it.posted Jun 4, 2008Link to this post
