Well, I was very excited to receive this, but it didn't work as hoped for me. I purchased it for use in the bikini and under arm area. Unfortunately, it is very difficult to achieve results in the under arm area. I felt like I couldn't get the skin taught enough. I lacked the correct angle and needed more hands I think. As for the bikini area, it worked ok, but left me too irritated. I followed the instructions and exfoliated, but I was still left w/ some ingrown hairs. I had this problem before w/ waxing, so I think I am just not a good candidate for this kind of hair removal.
