This is great product! I use it my, arms and legs. I have course dark leg hair and I won't lie it does sting/hurt there. First time using it on legs was worst, seems to be easier now. I used to shave legs every other day, now I use epilator once a week to get tiny hairs that are much finer than when i shaved. If you've ever been waxed then you'll have no problem with this method of hair removal. If your not sure about buying this product because of other negative reviews, just do it and see for yourself. Everyones skin and hair is different. If you don't like it just return it, I'm sooo glad I tried it!
Best choice even better than shaving

I know it hurts. But how much it hurts depends on the thickness of your hair. I didn't shave many times before trying this so my hair wasn't very thick. Like shaving epilation doesn't make your hair and skin hard. The first time it hurt a little. Then after two weeks I could see small hair growing so I used it again and it didn't hurt. Last winter I didn't remove my hair for around 6 months and when I used the epilator again in spring it did hurt a little but the next time again it didn't hurt at all. I have used another brand epilator once and that hurt a lot. But this epilator is great. Now that I have been using it for a few years my hair doesn't grow back for 3-4 weeks and even then they are small and lot less painful or time taking to remove it. All my friends who have been shaving get very jealous because they have to shave everyday to keep it smoothe and sometimes if they can't get around to it for couple of days the hair grows and sometimes their boy friends feel it. I don't have to worry about my hair growing back and embarrassing me before I find time to remove it again. I would this is the best choice for anyone who still can epilate.
Love it! Worth every penny.

I read almost every review prior to ordering and was not a believer when I ordered. NOW I AM!! It IS painful; somewhere between natural childbirth and root canal without anesthesia but if you do take that hot shower, exfoliate well and trim the hair if very long, it works great. I have dark, very thick hair and it did not break when trimmed shorter. Pain lessens each time it is used and the hairs are now lighter in color and finer after using about 2 months. I used weekly at first but now just as needed. I told everyone I knew about it and they thought I was a little crazy until I showed them the proof. I tend to have ingrown hairs with waxing but not with this method. Had to get the technique down and that lessens the pain and time involved as well. Read instructions prior to using!!
Great Product

I've never used one of these before and was pleasantly surprised. It rips hair out like a chainsaw. It does hurt, especially the first time you use it but it seems to lessen with subsequent use. You can see the root on many of the hairs that are pulled out which obviously helps extend the amount of time that it takes for regrowth. It also takes some time to learn how to apply the correct pressure but once you get used to it is worth it.
LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT!

I just received my Emjoi Gold Epilator and I love it! Being used to a lot of pain with my old epilator, I grabbed the towel I usually bite down on when I epilate. To my surprise I no longer need it. This Emjoi Epilator is wonderful. Not only is the pain a great deal less, but it does an excellent job of removing the hair. I used it both under my arms and on my legs with great results. It removed even the tiny hairs. It did take a pass or two, but so did my other epilator. I'm an older lady and my underarms are no longer where they used to be. Needless to say, I sag. And this was a concern I had when I ordered this epilator. I had read where others said the curve of this epilator caused problems for them. But I did not find this to be so for me. It fit nicely and I was able to epilate without much of the stretching of the skin that I had to do with my other epilator. I'm extremely pleased with it.
Good Investment

I have been having my legs waxed for about 5 years and I decided to look at cheaper alternatives. I did a lot of research on which one of these would be a good choice and the Emjoi Gold Caress kept coming up on top of the list. I was nervous about the whole idea but decided with the guarantee is was worth taking a chance. I am completely delighted. I don't think that it is as painful as waxing. I take a hot shower or a hot bath just prior to using it and it works great. It removes the hair as well or better than waxing. I am very satisfied with the results and I wish I had done it about 4 years ago.
Great product!

Really grabs all those fine short hairs on face and anywhere you choose! Easy to clean. Beats waxing! Hair takes awhile to grow back. Really glad I purchased this!!
Being beautiful hurts a little

Hurts as ** but works great!!!!! Used it all over my body, pulls out very thin light hair as well as hard darker ones. Its worth to go through the pain, which is not worse than waxing. Just did my bikini which I could never wax unless I had it done. I am very happy with this product and my smooth body ;) A+

I have been a Epi-Lady user for years, so when I saw an add for the Emjoi Gently Gold Caress Hair Removal System, I thought I would give it a try. totally awesome, so much faster than the Epi-lady and a lot less pain.
