An epilator. I'm sure it would have been brilliant if I'd been able to stand the pain but I just couldn't!

Snap!!!!
The noise of the grinding metal discs......
I bought the Philips lazer blaster thing. I did my third light treatment today.

Isn't it funny how we're all different - I get on fine with my epilator, it's one of the best gadgets I've bought.

Thankfully it wasn't too expensive but one waste of money was the Veet Easyway system - it's anything but easy!! So messy, took about 3 hairs off, and the strips are rubbish. Awful!

I would say the face massager that promises to lift my face. Honestly, I was in doubt but head on. Now, it's in the stock room. At least I did not throw it straight ahead.

The sad thing is I still do not learn!.
Lured in by the prospect of perfect hair and skin etc I get tempted


I was tempted by one of those babyliss procurl things that suck your hair up onto a roller


But then I reminded myself of the time I spent trying to remove hot air drying round brush out of my hair after getting it stuck!


I am sad to say as I read the replies to this thread I have done a few of them- epilator- yes there is one at the back of a drawer somewhere, slendertone been there done that.
I am horrified to think what this all adds up to in cost.


I could have paid for cosmetic surgery by now!

Same here! I apparantly have the perfect hair/skin colour combo for laser systems, but it did not do a thing for me. When I bought it there were so many positive reviews on blogs and forums, but not so much lately - hmmmm!

but how do some people get hair free, seen on holiday/gym etc etc is there something else to try? Not going down the waxing route :eek:

Some women are naturally very un hairy.

I used to shave my legs about twice a month, I haven't got enough hair on my legs to notice now, haven't shaved them for years.

Presumably they pay thousands to have proper laser treatment at a salon. As the other poster said some women are also just not hairy. I have a few friends who have never had to shave their legs. Grrrr!
