    Works Great
    I have used other products with little success. One with electric pads to kill the roots, and one with a soft wax that was messy and left a lot of hairs behind. This was easy, and removed even the smallest and finest hairs.

    It Works
    I bought this to use on my bikini area. I did however try it on my legs and since I have never done anything but shave them it hurt like mad. But, on my bikini area which I usually get waxed it was a breeze. No pain and super easy to use. I also tried it on my arm pit, the head of the Emojoi is too big fo rhtis area and I was unable to get a good angle which caused it to pinch the skin-not good. Also dont try and use this on your face, way too big and harsh.

    As Good As It Gets...
    First of all, Id like to say that this is an above par product. Regardless of the complaints and whinning, it is what it is: a bunch of tweezers running fast and plucking your hairs, of course itll hurt! However, like your first time waxing, it will take some time to getting used to. It will last longer than shaving or waxing - I dont grow a lot of body hair, but I prefer this method over any other.Pros: Lasts a long time, its smooth, no burns, no real hassles, efficient and hairs grow thinner.cons: It hurts, and the TIME KILLS me - thats why I gave it four stars.All in all, for those of you who saw after-effects, you werent using it correctly. If you break out after having the hairs plucked its because you didnt take care of your PORES!! You HAVE to wash (I usually take a shower afterwards), and because hot water OPENS your pores, I get a small hand-towel, wrap an ice cube and run it around the area. After I feel nice and cool, I apply lotion and Im not only HAIR-FREE for three weeks, but Im also baby-soft. My S.O. loves running his fingers all over my legs and thinks Im genetically blessed with beautiful skin.

    Love It!
    This is my 3rd Emjoi. The 1st two wore out from too many drops in my travels. The double row is much faster and covers more skin in one pass than the single row. I love the sleek feel on my legs and underarms. I will never go back to shaving! My skin is always smooth, even though I use the Emjoi less than once a week. It is easy, fast, and painless. There is a sensation of pulling but you get used to it quickly. It doesnt hurt like the first generation of epilators. Definitely worth the price!

    If You Can Stand The Pain...
    Ive had two different types of epilators, one with the single row of tweezers, and this one with the two rows of tweezers. No matter how they line up, they both hurt when using them. I thought the double row would be more effective and less painful than the single row, but it seemed slower, less effective, and more painful. This is because the tweezers are spaced further apart and seem to be less accurate at grabbing hair. I was able to use the epilators all over (legs, arms, under arms, and bikini area) for more than a hear and a half of regular use. This is cleaner than waxing, and the effects last longer than shaving, but it takes a long time to try and epilate everything at the same time. Not to mention, it seems to hurt more after using it for a certain period of time, say... after an hour and a half. Also, it might just be me, but after prolonged regular use, I seem to be more sensitive to it. Ive waxed my own legs and bikini area, and waxing doesnt hurt as much as epilating. Waxing is also much faster, but then again, you have that mess. So, if you can stand the pain, this is a great product.

    Gave Me The Worst Breakout Of My Life!
    This tweezer is a piece of junk! Not only is it horribly painful, but it makes you break out after using it! I used it on my chin to test it out, and I have terrible acne. It turned my clear skin into what now looks like leprosy! I am very upset and I totally wasted my money... beware!!

    Great Alternative To Brazilian
    I bought this as an alternative to my monthly brazilian wax. It worked wonderfully - I was very pleased with the results. I have tried to wax myself down there but it is just too messy and time consuming. This was quick, neat, and didnt hurt anymore than getting waxed. It paid for itself with one use!

    Hurts So Bad
    This hurts SOOOO much. Im hardly sensitive and I can "take pain" waxing, etc with the best of them. But, this tops it all.. its agonizing for me. Well, think about it, several tweezers running quickly over a private area. I dont know if I can tolerate it enough to finish. But, on the good side, the areas, I have been able to get feel good.. I see the roots of the hair so they do come out completely. You have to have an incredible tolerance for pain to take this.

    Best Epilator
    I have tried many hair removal products and this one has been the best. I have used this product for over 5 years. I use it EVERYWHERE. It does hurt, but you will get used to it (However, if you are right before your period, it seems to hurt more). I have to use it about once a week because all the hairs are in different growth stages, but it is much better than shaving all the time. I have less hair and it comes in softer. It also exfoliates your skin as you use it. The Emjoi doesnt hurt as much as the Braun or other store bought products. Mine have all lasted more than a year each and I beat them up pretty good. I highly recommend this product.
