Hi,

As far as I can gather on this thread the only person being rude around here is you ...
:rotfl:

Don't tell lies
No you're right, how dare I ask someone not to be rude to me when they are are patronising and deliberately obtuse. I should just sit there and put up with it shouldn't I.
But if you want to drag it out into a bigger drama after you started it by being nasty in the first place I can't stop you. Make you feel big does it?
Well done

imho

All eBayed Out I watched all 50 mins of it. I felt really sorry for the girl who was getting married but why on earth didnt she get laser treatment or use a epilator instead of going through the nightmare she is going through.

C'mon guys, you're arguing over nothing. Let whatever it was that bugged you go, and move on. You both have your own personal ideas about what constitutes rude so why dont you just agree to disagree and leave it there?

I agree, I was thinking the same. You don't have to sit and watch it grow like a garden. I think she said that she had tried everything and that no-one could give her an answer as to why she had this problem.

Hi all

I had typed this out yesterday to post and the forum went down :mad:

Once again......I think my last post was about the 13th June when I had plucked out a couple of hairs on my lip. I kept zapping though and only one of them has returned and much softer than before. I plucked it out again to have a look at the colour and dropped the sod straight away without seeing it . So lets say it took from the 13th of June to say the 1st of July to pop through. I am still zapping the area though in the hope it wont come back at all. No sign of the other one so thats good.

On to my chin. I plucked two out there also a few days after on about the 16th June as they would not respond to the treatment either. Both of those returned the other day dispite zapping. Also a lot softer, these I shaved off two days ago and then zapped so will see how they go (or not as the case maybe).

I had a few dark but soft hairs on my lip, they have gone so I am pleased with that.

So RebekahR and others who are struggling with this bristly type hair it may be worth trying what I have done, If its not working for you the way you are doing it you have nothing to lose.

Perhaps just pluck one side of lip/chin and shave the other while still zapping, make a note of the date and if possible the amount of hairs involved. A bit scientific but at least you will know if you are getting anywhere.
When I did eventually pluck them out they seemed thicker than ever and I never really thought it would work but it has. So ill keep zapping and updating. We are all in this together :j

Just an update. I have been using mine for a while on my face and I'm now hair free on my chin and upper lip - one happy bunny.

Underarms are nearly there, just bikini line and legs to do next.

Hi Jasmin10 - can I ask you how you have managed to use it on your upper lip? I have tried it, but the handset thing is so big that it is difficult to fit it in the gap under nose and above lips? Also, did you use a white eyeliner on your lips when you did it?

Received it yesterday and tried it out last night. Ouch!!
OMG it hurt. I started with my BL and didn't want to do the other side because it was sore.
Was dreading doing my AP but did them both.
Covered them in aloe vera and then lay like a star fish!!
I am not looking forward to the rest of the sessions if its going to be like that every time.
Please tell me it gets better?!

What setting do you have it on ?? if its on fair reduce it down. I have mine on fair, my hurts only when it gets hot. I think its the heat it produces that makes it hurt. As stated before (and you have done) do the sensitive areas first while its cool.
