Pros: The pain does not last forever
Cons: VERY PAINFUL
Summary: I have to admit that I really hate shaving. If I can get away with it I will go for a week without shaving my legs or underarms. Now some of you may say that is disgusting. I used to think it was, but then I married a man who finds underarm hair sexy...

Pros: Can be used as a paperweight
Cons: Noisy
Painful
More work than needed
Summary: I, like most women hate leg hair. That is why I had originally purchased this item. I tend to be a conscientious shopper and I looked up reviews for this item and looked at how it works. I figured, I can wax, and how much more painful could this ...

Pros: Removes hair which doesn't grow back for a few weeks. No batteries required.
Cons: Hurts more than anything else in the world. Noisy.
Summary: I purchased this product because it advertised "gentle" in the title. I thought, if I could spend $65 and not have to shave my legs every other day, it would be money well spent. Wrong. I spent $65 and still have to shave every other day. This ...

Pros: If you've been *blessed* with a very hairy body, this is the answer!
Cons: I wish the battery would last longer.
Summary: Literally. I am a white skinned, dark haired, HAIRY woman. Since I was 10, I have been shaving every day. In my 20's I started waxing both legs (upper and lower) to see what it would be like not to have stubble by the end of each day. After a couple ...

Pros: Cleaner than wax, hair-free for vacations! Saves money!
Cons: Have to grow out hair first time; nips off small skin bumps.
Summary: I bought this product over a year and a half ago because I wanted a way to comfortably get rid of bikini-line hair. I've spent years shaving this area and enduring the irritation and red bumps that were caused by the stubble. I thought I was resigned ...

Pros: Works well, not too painful for me, superior results, long-lasting silkiness
Cons: A little loud, doesn't tickle, but no other cons yet!
Summary: I think it's safe to say I'm a hair removal fanatic. There are certain parts of my body that must absolutely be hair-free as much of the time as possible -- my legs, underarms, and bikini area. I have tried shaving, waxing, tweezing, and depilatories. ...

Pros: Works. Doesn't hurt enough to matter. What else is there?
Cons: Bit noisy for my liking.
Summary: I can NOT shave my legs without cutting myself, no matter what kind of razor I use. I stopped trying. Waxing is too expensive; too much trouble. I had given up on hair-free legs to the point of GOING OUT IN PUBLIC WITH SHORTS ON AND HAIRY LEGS; that's ...

Pros: More cost effective, less painful than sugaring/waxing. Can use for touch-ups.
Cons: Other than the noise of the little motor, no cons for me!
Summary: Thanks to all of the great previous reviewers of the Emjoi Gently Gold Caress - this was the most fun I've ever had reading product reviews! Based on all of your great, detailed reviews, and the comparison shopping I did with other electric hair ...

Pros: Fantastic results, low-cost, great warranty
Cons: Okay, it hurts a bit
Summary: Okay, I read all of the other reviews prior to purchasing this product, in addition to a ton of research on competiting products. I am extremely satisfied with my Emjoi Gentle Gold Caress. You must go into this purchase understanding that it will never ...

Pros: Good job of keeping hair trimmed. Your husband will enjoy his silky smooth wife!
Cons: Pain for first 2/3 clearings. Doesn't hurt much during maintenance clearings.
Summary: The point here is removal of hair for the long term. It takes a good 2 to 3 tries to get most of the hair - from that point forward you should be good to go. It does what it advertises which is nice. Yes, it hurts the first couple of times. Hey, ...

Pros: Long lasting results.
Cons: Takes some getting used to. Not immediate complete results. Lengthy process at first.
Summary: The only regret that I have about this product is that I wish I would have bought it sooner. I absolutely love this product. I have thick coarse hair. Even when I shave, you can still feel the bumps from the hair below the skin. I bought this product ...

Pros: Touching up not that uncomfortable; results last well; only takes minute or two for upkeep.
Cons: Probably should remove hair another way before first use; ingrown hairs if you don't exfoliate.
Summary: Basically if you're trying to go from "forest" to "desert" it's probably not going to be a pleasant experience and if you don't exfoliate regularly (but gently, you're not trying to strip paint) you'll probably end up with ingrown hairs. But this isn't ...

Pros: Longer term hair removal, no stubble, no smell or mess, lovely smooth result.
Cons: Discomfort in the process
Summary: I started using an epilator years ago when they first came out, because I wasn't satisfied with other methods of hair removal. Shaving caused stubbly re-growth and had to be done weekly. Creams were smelly and messy. Waxing was even more messy if I ...

Pros: Works great for underarms and bikini line!!
Cons: Very Loud, very intimidating!
Summary: I am from the Epilator generation of the mid 90's. I was used to the pain of having the hair ripped out by the root, the possible skin catching and once again, the PAIN. But, needless to say I kept using them. The things we do for beauty eh?? For the ...

Pros: Don't have to shave so often.
Cons: Hard to maneuver the shaver, especially in armpits. Leaves red welts temporarily.
Summary: I bought this product because i don't like constantly having to shave, especially the underarms. I find waxing requires growing out hair to a length that feels itchy, and it's also inconvenient and expensive to go to a salon to do it. I liked the fact ...

Pros: Smooth legs longer
Cons: One word -Ouch!
Summary: I bought this epilator because I was sick of shaving. I naively thought that using an epilator would be much like tweezing my eyebrows. Wrong! Wrong! Wrong! Truth is it can be painful. I have grown used to the pain. It still takes me long to do my ...
