I believe the promo price finishes on may 5th so at least they're giving it a good run so people have to chance to learn about it then save up. But I'm unfortunately not one of those people who can wait, impulse buying is definitely a weak point of mine! Yeah I'm gonna do bikini line too, will save a lot of hassle! If only I had money to go on a nice exotic holiday this summer so I can fully appreciate my efforts! not that it really takes any effort!

Zoe33, have you been doing your legs? I could imagine that probably takes a while!

May 5th? Ooooh, still got a little time... but then again I went down to the Boots by Liverpool St Station in London and they were sold out!!!!

Gutted! Heading to my local Boots tomorrow to see if they have any left.

Good to hear it's going well u01jet4! And good to know it's not painful. I didn't really think it would be

Cosmo have given it the big thumbs up:

I usually trust their reviews over other mags.

I'll keep you posted Zoe33 if I finally get my hands on one this weekend!

Plenty in stock Brent X, London, if that is any help to you. Or if you can't find it in store, go to the photo counter and ask to order it from Boots.com (have the product code to hand), you can then either have it delivered free to your home, or to a local store convenient to you, usually takes up to 4/5 days.
Hope I'm not teaching you to suck eggs, but don't forget to use your boots advantage card, for about £10 worth in points, and check the advantage card machine for a total spend points voucher (usually 300 points when you spend £35).
Can't wait to hear how everyone gets on with it, If I can scrape together the pennies before May, I might be tempted!

Awww just got all excited about this and then read it says do not use if you have PCOS which I have. Does anyone know why you wouldn't be able to use it if you have PCOS

Thanks so much Minimoneyme!! So lovely!

I actually had a look around the Boots site on Friday and found it for sale online. Same price and with 996 Boots advantage points!!

Heading to Brent Cross on Weds for some family shopping so might just grab it there.

Will give you all a shout when I buy it. Really can't wait now

This looks very similar to the Rio system that I have (which is working!) which was £175ish from Argos. It's true that it doesn't get rid of white hairs, but the dark ones do go and so far so good, not come back (three months and counting). I have very pale skin btw, which helps.

The system I have says that it can't kill off hairs caused by hormonal imbalances, so I'd guess that's why. (PCOS is associated with estrogen/progesterone imbalance isn't it, and extra hair?) I haven't been able to shift the "dark line" of hair down my tum that appeared after pregnancy, so I guess that's a hormonal thing. They grow back unfortunately.
