I bought this over a year ago and have had to stop using it because it was just too painful. I tried every method to make it less painful and nothing worked. I tried doing small sections and taking breaks, big sections, taking pain meds, rubbing, etc. Nothing worked. I had red spots that covered my legs for days after using. I am going back to regular waxings. They hurt less and the pain and redness goes away in about a day.The light is nice and the electric razor part works well. It would be better if it was battery operated so you didn't have to haul out an extension cord every time you wanted to use it.
