Does this work on thin hair? I have used an epilator before that leaves me with stubble :/

It does remove the hair (I use it on my upper lip), but it seems to grow back faster (get stubbly) than when I used the Panasonic epilator. Bottom line: I'd buy the Panasonic instead.

I used this epilator for the first time. I was thinking that it will pull out the hair from the root. However, the thin hair will break during the epilator instead of pulled out... As a result of that now i have dark colored hair instead of soft and light hair as i had before. The only advantage is its not time consuming and u clean up without burning ur skin as waxing

So far I have had no problem with any hair type. I love mine. I started out using it twice a week then the second week once. Now I haven't used it in about three weeks and I'm still hair free.

Yes, it can hurt when removing hair. The best thing I have found is to pull the skin taught so it doesn't grab the skin, but I have found this is true for all epilators.

I never get razor stubble, it may be because I exfoliate my skin with a loofah and dry brush my skin frequently, also I always keep my skin moisturized. After using the emjoi, I simply moisturize with pure coconut oil and that keeps the epilated area soft for me. I hope this helps!

The epilator head, yes, I can see it being usable in the upper lip area (I'd imagine it would hurt a lot, but you'll get used to the hair being pulled out). I've been using it to remove hair in my axillae and rarely my legs. As far as eyebrows, the smaller trimmer head is supposed to be usable to trim that area, but it would require practice - I've only done it once back when I first got this item.

I also have thin hair and this brush works great for me. I am happy with it and would highly recommend it. Good luck!

my older daughter and I have very thick hair and it works well... my younger daughter has thin hair and it works well on her too. I just use a smaller amount otherwise it appears greasy even though it's not. we all love it!

So far ive trimmed thin goatee hairs and it worked perfectly fine. Im not sure about coarse goatee hair though.

Judy, unless you have a "very, very" high pain threshold, I definitely would advise against using the epilator on your face. This appliance literally pulls the hair out, one by one. Using it on your extremities can be painful enough: using it on your face may be unbearable.

I have used this epliator on my bikini area and it works great! I start with the sides first and work in small areas at a time. I use one hand to stretch my skin and hold the epilator with the other. The general bikini area was all fine...even around the inside of my legs! After I had all that done, I moved farther down to my more sensitive areas... This definitely stings more and you really need to make sure you are stretching the skin but it works amazing, just like the under arms and legs. This thing is powerful but as long as you use it correctly, it's like magic! :)

Yes, I have thin hair and I use it with a mouse or spray thermal/heat volume protector. My daughter has thick beautiful hair that tends to be frizzy. She hates products in her hair and it works well. For thicker frizzy hair you may have to turn the heat seeting all the way to high.

I used it for the first time last night. I leaves a little stubble, but is far faster and safer than the devices I have used in the past. Plus, leaving a little stubble means it will itch less later. I like it, so far. And, the website is the coolest thing ever (www.shaveeverywhere.com)

My wife uses it on her entire face and chin whenever she has hairs that need to be trimmed. No stubbles seem to ever appear after use. So I would say it does an outstanding job. She is always pleased. Hope this helps you.

I wouldn't recommend this for use on your face. I wasn't satisfied with the results of the trimmer. As the name suggests it's a trimmer, not really an epilator or anything else. Hope this helps

I don't know why it wouldn't, it is a well made epilator that is well made. My hair is on the fine side but it gets the short and long hairs.

I've been using it for a while and it breaks your hair not from root(some of them)...I tried it on my eyebrows it can rip off your entire eyebrow. I think if best to use tweezers for your eyebrows its easier and faster. This spring facial hair remover works with thin hair, but it breaks them. Personally I stopped using it, because the hair I damaged with this tool started growing darker and wilder.

I believe the question was meant to compare the coil type epilator to the motorized tweezer type epilator, not to shaving blades that leave stubble. I have had both, and tho it has been years since I have used the coil, I am thinking of going back to it. Could be I am remembering it as working better than it really did. What I do know is that I am done with the cordless models. The battery never lasts. And I don't need a waterproof one. I am blind without my glasses anyway and they don't seem to work any better in the shower.

YESSSSS!!!!! Thats why I only used it once! I'll keep it for the trimmer aspect, but I won't used the epil part on my legs ever again. I have thick coarse hair on my legs, almost all of them came back ingrown and it took forever to get rid of those red bumps. It works well for me on the face though.
