Great product ! I am the queen of hair, and have tried many methods even laser , I got the Veet Epilator the week is was released on retail shelves last year . I must say shaving is alot faster, but with the epilator your hair stays away much longer than shaving . Its a bit painfull in the bigining but not half as bad as waxing! The bikini area is tricky but once the 1st time is out the way its smooth sailing . I am always bikini ready thanks Veet !
