    Sounds the same idea as Vaniqa. Maybe easier to get a hold of!

    Thanks! I certainly want to try this now, as one of the people who vaniqa did not suit I hope maybe this will!

    I haven't gone as far as checking out reviews and 'instructions' or anything yet, but would be doing my research first! Hopefully it'll suit you :)

    I bought a nono, but I am struggling to get to grips with it. I rarely get a smooth finish (I use the buffer). It does a fine job on my face, but I get regrowth very quickly. Legs I haven't really knuckled down with, it takes so long. I have tried some bikini line but its barely touching them....

    Any tips?

    It is worth setting some time aside to do it. I must admit once the hair started to be less I stopped using my Nono so often which was the wrong thing to do, the hair came back with a vengence. Once the hair starts to diminish you need to keep using it although not as often. Are you using the correct cartridge for your legs (the wider one)?
    CC2 = £8687.86 ([STRIKE]£10000[/STRIKE] )CC1 = £0 ([STRIKE]£9983[/STRIKE] ); Reusing shopping bags savings =£5.80 vs spent £1.05.Wine is like opera. You can enjoy it even if you don't understand it and too much can give you a headache the next day J

    Yes, the wider one. I am trying on legs and bikini line, and legs gets better. Bikini line it doesn't seem to touch, And I am hardly hairy at all there:o. I can do it over and over the area and my hair must be heatproof is all I am saying.

    No where I use it (and tbh I am trying everywhere determined to get the hang of it) is getting a perfect finish. Top lip (which really is very minimal) is the best finish of everywhere I have tried.....but it's also not a 'problem area' for me so I am op wondering if this is best for people with very fine hair that most people wouldn't consider a real 'problem' but rather a normal thing in women that we have decided is undesirable?:o

    I have now bought this and plan to start using it tomorrow. Using it twice a day I am not sure how long a bottle will last, but we will see. It's going to take a while as well.

    It takes a long time preparing to be a woman, ...hair we want to keep looking right, hair we don't want gone, make up, skin care......imagine the hours we spend doing this over a lifetime :eek:
  • I agree CrazyCat. I too bought a No-No, and it wasn't cheap. It was a complete waste of money and didn't offer any help. I suggest you to stay away from it.

    Just want to give a bit of feed back on the inhibitor spray. I have been using it on my legs and underarms only, for hardly any time. On Wednesday I had to go away for an overnight stay and after dithering decided not to take it, knowing this would impact on the performance as you are meant to use it twice away till you notice the hair coming through a lot less. It was only today I remembered I should be using this, and I had almost no hair growth on my legs AT all, felt like shaven today or yesterday.

    I don't have much body hair anyway but I am seriously impressed with this. I am going to start using on bikini line and I am going to read now to find out if its safe for facial use (the place something that worked would really help!)
