" ... Each hair grows at a different rate so shave, or whatever you usually do, and use this every 2-3 days as the individual hairs start to peek out. ... I do it about once a week and the hair comes in soft, not stubbly. ... "
" ... It is my first time to use epilator since I used to remove my underarm and lower leg hair by waxing. ... I really saw a big difference using this epilator with very precise hair removal compared to waxing where I suffered some burning and darkening in my armpit after repeated trial of pulling out the strips. ... I did twice laser hair removal and they both have the same result and its more hassle free than to spend money and go out in spa. ... "
" ... It fits nicely in the hand, is quiet, and most importantly it gets those hairs! ... "
" ... Also, the hair grows back so much softer that you have to pay attention and look to see if you need to remove it. ... "
" ... This grabs the hairs (usually the first time around). ... "
" ... It removes the tiniest hair. ... "
" ... I have waxed unwanted hair for my body for the last 40 years. ... I am fair-haired and have a mix of fine and coarse hairs on my legs. ... All the hair on my face is very fine. ... "
" ... Very effective hair remover. ... "

" ... I broke a sweat for sure but the end results are by far worth it. ... When you wax it removes or exfoliates your skin. ... By the morning time after using Tend Skin my skin was completely calm. ... "
" ... Doing underarms the first time was excruciating, however the next time I used it it was WAY easier and really didn’t hurt. ... "
" ... Does not hurt hardly at all. ... "
" ... If it is your first time epilating research tips on how to. ... "
" ... Can’t believe how long they stay smooth. ... "
" ... So many attachments feels like Christmas! ... "
" ... This was not painful. ... The truth is, it doesnt hurt anymore than plucking your eyebrows, because that's essentially what you're doing. ... I used some tend skin right after just to prevent in grown hairs and will continue to use it daily, and MOISTURIZE. ... "
" ... It does not hurt as long as you dont let your hair get too long. ... "

" ... Otherwise though, it's convenient, easy to use and easy to clean, and it's much more gentle on my skin than either shaving or waxing ever was. ... "
" ... No more razors and shaving cream. ... "
" ... The face brush is okay, I have a Clinique sonic brush that I prefer but I'm considering using the face brush it comes with for my legs/body exfoliating. ... I epilate and then shave like the day after, usually. ... "
" ... I will get razor burn on body areas and ingrown hairs on my face. ... "
" ... This is the second Braun epilator I've bought ... "
" ... I haven't used all the attachments yet, but both the trimmer and the shaver work well. ... "
" ... I will still shave my legs if I want them to feel perfectly smooth, but I no longer have uncomfortable, visible stubble at all. ... "
" ... I whip this baby out once a month and will likely never shave again. ... "
