Default Anyone try "Smooth Away"

Hello everyone! I had a question. I saw and informercial for something called Smooth Away. Has anyone used this? Successful? I am so sick (as I am sure all of you are) of tweezing, waxing, Nair, etc. I thought I might try it but I thought I'd ask you guys first.

TIA

Personally, I'd stay away from it. Tried something similar a few years ago and all I wound up with was an itchy patch and lots of ingrown hairs to deal with... ouch! Maybe they've improved these things over the years?

I tried something like this before and basically it is a very fine sander that "sands" down your hair. It works but if you have sensitive skin it hurts!

After reading a few reviews online, I decided to give this a try... It worked (somewhat) but... it takes much longer than shaving and by the time you finish, your skin will be red... In my opinion, it's not worth it!

Thanks for all your responses!!! I guess it's back to the drawing board.

I also tried something similar, but it took my skin off and left the hair. Left me feeling like I had a bad sunburn.

I have tried a similar product with very good results. The trick is to keep the sander moving around and to not press down hard on the skin. The second time I used mine I stayed in one area a bit too long and had the sunburn feeling in one spot. Keep it moving and don't press too hard - you should give it a try.
