    yes not only the half price offer but also free delivery makes it too good to miss. Just to let people know also that although it says up to 5 days delivery i have ordered from Amazon before with free super saver delivery and was pleasantly suprised when i received it in just a couple of days and that was a dvd player.

    I ordered one of these and it took around a week to arrive.

    Great buy, and I have always wanted to try one of these.

    Painwise not too bad (on the legs). I have had worse but then I have given birth 5 times with no drugs.
    Its better to be late in this life than early in the next one.

    How are these pain-wise compared to waxing? I'm a complete wimp and gave up on the wax idea!

    Is it a similar idea where it gets rid by the root (and I'm typing this whilst cringing!!).

    Well I'm not going to say it is pain free but realy it is really just lick pin pricks.

    Bearable. Might help if you cool the leg down first. As I said this is the first time I have ever used it and I have never really given waxing much of a go.

    I had one of these years ago and ended up giving it to the charity shop as it was so painful.... now i've had a couple of kids i think i can handle it, i'm hoping they've come on over the years and do a better job. You can use it on bikini or chest hair.

    LOL Sarahmoo! May I suggest to all that you take a nice hot bath first. It doesn't make it pain free but it certainly helps soften things up a bit. No way would I touch the bikini area...ooooouuuuccchhhhhhh!
