Does this thing give an OUCH !! while removing hair on thigh and loose skin areas??

Not really an ouch, more like a prick. Take a tweezer and pull out a hair, that is about what it feel like. But then again I have been using this product for about 20 years, so I could just be used to it.
1492603
Yes, it does. How much depends on how sensitive you are. If you have loose skin that you want to epilate, you'll need to pull it tight first.
1492604
Yes it can. I have used an Epilady sense 1989. You learn to pull lose skin tight or you get pinched. The new one I did the review on stops off and on like it has skin stuck in it when it doesn't. Like I said my old one works better. Using a light dusting of bath powder helps it to slide over the skin easier for me. Keep the spring blown out. A Q tip dipped in alcohol keeps it clean and sanitary. Good luck. Out of five Epiladys in 24 years this last one is the only junky one I've had. One died after my daughter dropped it on cement. One died when my grand daughter got her long hair all tangled up in iti used one to death and still have a good old one that I use twice a week and a new faulty one.

I returned it because it gave nothing. Didn't touch my hair, much less give an ouch.

I have primarily used the Epilady for my legs, so I can't comment on other areas. If you are accustomed to shaving, the first use will not be painless. It is similar to a waxing. But, thereafter, you mostly feel a prickly sensation, much less than plucking your eyebrows, and your hair doesn't grow back for about a month. I would choose Epilady any day over waxing or shaving. When your hair grows in, it is very fine and barely noticeable. You also don't get the itching that occurs when hair is growing in after shavng.

I've been using epilady for more than 20 years. It does ouch at first, especially if the skin is loose. You need to hold the skin taught, then it doesn't ouch as much and after it using it a few times, it won't ouch - you do get desensitized.

Yes, and may also cause one to scream other four letter words. Of the "quarter jar" or "Grandma will wash your mouth out with soap" variety.

Yes, it can hurt when removing hair. The best thing I have found is to pull the skin taught so it doesn't grab the skin, but I have found this is true for all epilators.

My experience has been that it pulls out fastest, less painful and with less effort if the outgrowth of hair is between 1/8-1/2" inches in length.... Any shorter and you risk breaking it off any longer and it increases the pain greatly... Trust me. We just moved and I went over 2 months without epilating until I located my unit in the packed boxes... My hair had grown out a two solid inches and although I am not a sissy la-la by any means the pain proved too much for me with the hair that long... In the event that happens you can change the attachment trim the hair down to the shorter length and then epilate. My system is to rip it all out and then weekly as it begins to grown back; whip out the unit and keep up on the outgrowth. Makes the process so much less painful an leaves you fresh! :)

My girlfriend has borrowed my razor several times before (just make sure to switch blades, I've been told once a blade is used for body hair it will cut up the face) and we both noticed that she had much softer skin and a much closer shave. She did say it was harder to use than a normal razor, but she really liked how it didn't damage her skin at all.

Hello Karen, as a guy the only reason i got it is to use it on my face, as i dont shave the hair on my upper cheeks, so instead i remove them with it instead. So yes you can, could be a lil painful in the first couple touches but your face will kinda get numb. I hope this addresses your concern. Thanks

The epilator head, yes, I can see it being usable in the upper lip area (I'd imagine it would hurt a lot, but you'll get used to the hair being pulled out). I've been using it to remove hair in my axillae and rarely my legs. As far as eyebrows, the smaller trimmer head is supposed to be usable to trim that area, but it would require practice - I've only done it once back when I first got this item.

wish I could help directly...I only use it for my every other day save and to trim side burns and soul patch. In general I get a close facial shave without any razor burn or irritation. Compared to my previous iterations of Norelco shavers (think this is my 4th), it is much much lighter and quieter.

I'm not to sure it didn't work that good for me, I did it on my legs which is thinner spaced out hair an it hurt so bad an didn't leave the area smooth. I tried it on my pubes an it was very painful and bled.

I don't think so. Several things make me say this. A nurse I know who was of Hispanic background used it and said it was excruciatingly painful. I suggested using something like one of those topical analgesics for mouth pain. Anyway, I think it would be painful and completely ineffective for you. I am a pale white chick who is traveling and got some tan on my legs. It became much more painful to use it and I think the results were diminished with the tan as well (I have been traveling for about 10 months, so it's not that I didn't give it enough time...) Also, I used it on hairs on moles I have, which are darker than my normal skin tone, and those hairs, while lighter and less coarse, are still there. It really doesn't work on light hair on even light tone skin (it wasn't nearly as effective on my leg hair, which is lighter than say bikini-area hair, which it WAS effective on.) All in all, as a black person, I reaaaaaallllllllyy wouldn't spend my money on this. For white women who want to say get rid of chin hair, go for it. It was very effective on my chin hair. Man, do I sound grotesque or what?

Yes! :) I never use mine when it is plugged in. I might also add that I am not pleased with the product. I have baby fine hair and it does not do a very good job. I have to go over and over the same area to get the hair to be shortened. After I use the buffing pad there is some improvement, but the hair is never fully gone. I have been using mine for 6 mths now.

i removed some hairs on my chinny-chin-chin and had no problem. i can't speak for any other parts of my face. my skin isn't terribly sensitive, but i had a great experience all around with MOOM. good luck.

It's not the greatest at getting close to the root for the bikini area (however it does get better there after using it a while because the hair gets used to it). However, it has never cut me in any way. It has never given me razor burn either. I love it!

No. Just painful hair removal. I've gone to salons and had waxing, and this was worse.

I just got rid of my Braun 7681 because it's massaging head would not allow proper extraction of the hair..I had to go 5-6 times over the same area and eventually had to take off the massaging cap to be able to pull the hair out. Also Braun gave me a lot of ingrown hair by breaking them at extraction...I had owned 3 other Brown epilators before. I am switching to this one in hopes it will do a better job for me

I used it for the first time last night. I leaves a little stubble, but is far faster and safer than the devices I have used in the past. Plus, leaving a little stubble means it will itch less later. I like it, so far. And, the website is the coolest thing ever (www.shaveeverywhere.com)

No, and the more I use it...it's not that great at all. It's a Facial Hair Remover Stick Epilator that works really good. I got on ebay for a $1.00 but I haven't used its on eyebrows yet. But for hair on the face it's GREAT. So save your money go on ebay and buy one of those I promise you're love it!

I have not used it on my legs. However, I did have some coarse hair on my face and it worked very well. It can be uncomfortable when you first use it though. It will work though.
