 It Works For What I Wanted. August 28, 2010
Cait
I ordered the Epi Slim in order to remove the hair under my arms as shaving caused dark shadows, waxing hurt and irritated the area, and creams didn't work.
It took about five days to arrive, which was fine as I selected the 3-5 day option. I was really excited to try it out; given that shaving was my primary method of hair removal, and given that it causes dark shadows, I have been very embarrassed about wearing sleeveless shirts and dresses. The device was in good condition when it arrived, and all it took to get it started was inserting two AA batteries into the easily accessible battery case and switching it to the 'on' position.
My hair had grown out for about two days prior to use. I soaked a clean white cotton towel in hot water, then applied to my underarm for about thirty seconds. My underarms were clean of any deodorant, lotion, etc. I used the Epi Slim in short strokes to begin with, and in small circles later. It did hurt, but not excessively. Much much much better than waxing. I kept reapplying warm water onto my skin throughout the process.
I got my left arm pit almost completely done and only managed a small part of my right arm pit before I ended for the day. The stinging pain (very light, not sore) ceased within five minutes of stopping. The redness went away within an hour. I came back the next day and finished up using the same method and with the same result except that it hurt less to do my left armpit.
I immediately noticed the shadow I've been so ashamed of is no longer there. I am immensely happy with this outcome. However, there is still some hair that was missed. It is not viewable unless someone has their head right up close, though, and I imagine I'll be able to get rid of it as soon as it grows out a teensy bit. It also took a while to complete the process (each day). That might be because it was the first epillation, though, or because my hair is freaky weird growing in all different directions.

I did try this on my bikini lines. It hurt so much that I ceased almost immediately. Again, I'm a total wimp so maybe it'll be fine for others. But, for the underarms, it is completely tolerable.
I hope this was helpful. =)

I love this handy little epilator! It works great for smaller areas such as facial hair. The porice is excellent, and you won't be disappointed with your purchase.
Do realize though, that hair grows in stages. So you will have a good months worth of using this on a regular basis to start seeing results that last weeks, but it will happen.
 My second one to buy August 22, 2010

At first, I couldn't decide between this one and the larger Braun one, and then I figured, well I only need it for my underarms and bikini, so I'll just go with the smaller Emjoi. I am so glad I went with this one because I just absolutely love it. I actually threw away my razor after the first time I used it, and haven't looked back. It fits very nicely in your hand and since it's battery powered, you can travel with it. Works perfectly for underarms and bikini.

It took a few times to get used to and learn what angles removes the hair best, but I've been using it for about a month now and it's a little life changer! I only use it for my underarms so it's the perfect size. Love it!
