Hurts so good! A female sasquatch testimonial.
Mmmmkay, let's get right to the nitty gritty shall we? I have struggled with unwanted body hair my entire life (and not just peach fuzz, but thick black man stubble - EVERYWHERE). Thanks dad! I have had laser hair removal done on my arms and legs, but it's super expensive so I've had to be choosy. Also, being a woman of a certain age, my hormone levels have dropped so I recently began supplementing with bioidentical testosterone and progesterone which were incredibly low. I feel SO much better, but one of the side effects is increased body hair in women who are already prone to it {raises hand}. Boo. I have been lucky just to have peach fuzz on my face for the most part until I started taking testosterone, but now I would probably have a full beard and a full happy trail if I didn't shave and pluck like crazy, but that's a lot to shave and pluck! Enter this brilliant little torture device. Is it painful? YES (as you would expect). Does it work? YES! Is it better than plucking? ABSOLUTELY!
My new routine is to use this on my face and stomach once every couple weeks or so and every day apply a hair growth inhibitor spray. Those two things combined have really made a HUGE difference in managing my unwanted hair growth. When it does grow back in, it's much lighter, finer and grows more slowly. I like that I don't have to go to the expense of waxing and that this is quick, convenient and super easy to use (I love things that are idiot proof)!
Will you enjoy the experience of using this device? No. No you will not. It is not fun. That being said, it gets better/less painful with each successive use, and it's not so bad that I can't stand it. This things has mowed through some serious facial foliage and is still trucking! That warrants 5 stars in my book!
I sincerely hope this review has been helpful to someone else! Please feel free to ask any questions.
