Well Plasmo...I have a Braun epil..something or other...I forget...I'll look tomorrow but Mr C is asleep and I don't want to disturb him cos he's not been well..

Truly I found it fine. I have very soft smooth legs now...it was NOT painful..just a funny tingly tugging...

I'm really pleased with it and would thoroughly recommend it.

I do think it's a shame though that the only way to try one is to buy one...if you see what I mean. I suppose there is no way round that really...shame though!!!
