Another review here put it best: "If you want results badly" you will love this product.
I've only been using this for a week now, but I believe a lot of the people who have given up on using an epilator simply have never had to deal with the awful difficulties some of us do with shaving. Starting out with this is time and pain intensive, but for people who want long-lasting relief from the futility and demoralizing effects of shaving, this is an unbelievable invention.
I have very dark, coarse, fast-growing hair, paired with very sensitive skin. With shaving, I got ingrown hairs along with painful razor burn all over my thighs and bikini line when i shaved. On top of that, I'd have visible regrowth by the end of the day. Yet, I wouldn't be able to shave again for at least 48 hours because my skin was still so damaged. In the summer, I could only wear shorter skirts or shorts once a week, and even then I would usually have to put foundation on the areas that broke out. I say this in the past tense, because I am so thrilled to have found a method of hair removal that will free me from constant worry over having to cover my legs!
As I said, I've only recently begun epilating, so I can't compare this model to others or talk about longterm results, but for me what's already happened is amazing. I did it initially four days ago on my legs and bikini line, and it was painful and tedious, but also gratifying to see all that thick dark hair be done away with. I've done waxing before, so I understand how hair grows in cycles and that there will be some irritation that will resolve quickly, so I was not put off by the red bumps or the fact that there was stubble.
The second time I did it, two days later (my hair grows very fast, so the next cycle comes in quickly), it was still rather painful and, but much better and took much less time. I then waited another two days (today), and it was fast and totally bearable to touch up. I think I've gotten at least 75% of my growth by now (I see what I haven't gotten yet because my hair is so dark, I can see it before it grows above the skin), and hopefully after another four days and two more attempts will have had a chance to nab them all. Because of my waxing experience, I have high hopes that when the hairs grow in again, they will be much less dark and coarse. Some ingrown hairs (I got those shaving and waxing anyway) and soft, invisible stubble seem like blessings, knowing that I won't be constantly hairy and having to mangle my skin with that razor anymore if I ever want to show it!
Maybe people who don't have thick hair growing quickly on them all the time aren't thrilled by the idea of being able to look at your own legs everyday without having to cringe, because they already can, but to me, it is a wonderful, novel experience. I don't have the money to wax, and I really like not having to wait for a full cycle to grow in before getting it taken care of!
This product is just what I've been looking for all my life!!
Customer Review: awesome product!!!!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have tried everything, waxing,shaving,threading, u name it I've done it.
I used this product first time yesterday and it works miracles. Its much faster than waxing and gets even the tiniest hair out. the results are awesome... I would recommend this to anyone who has serious problems with hair growth. I was a little scared to use it, since alot of the reviewers said it hurts, and I admit it does, but just like waxing your body gets used to it after a few times.
Customer Review: Great device!

I bought this epilator, and it's the first one I've ever used. I've had it for a few years, but I've been too intimidated to use more than the shaver attachment until recently. Let me say that it's fantastic! It does hurt...especially the first time you use it. I've never waxed or epilated before, so my hair was pretty thick and coarse, and it took a long time to get it all out. However, I did my calves about two weeks ago, and the hair is just now starting to come back in. I used it tonight to get rid of the little hairs that were starting to grow back, and it didn't really hurt at all! The rollers that are on one of the epilating attachments really help to numb your skin and make epilating less painful. I think this product is fantastic--it fits nicely in my hand, the built in light helps me see all the little hairs, the bonus shaver attachment is great--it's definitely worth the money!Customer Review: I will never shave again.

This is the best thing ever! I highly recommend it. It doesn't hurt at all. I would wax the first time before you use it. Then a few days later use the epilator. I have used it all over with great results. There were a few hairs on my lip I continually tweezed, and I'm sure I was breaking them off not getting the root. Hence growing back quickly. Now the Silk epilator gets the root and they are slower to grow back and much thinner.
You do have to be careful about stretching the skin smooth in some areas. Under arms, behind knees, and lip area, but with practice you can do it. This epilator is so much better than the old ones. The light was a stroke of genius. Now when I epilate I only get a few hairs. It is well worth the money.
Please give it a try!
