Default Epilstop...worth Getting?

I'm going to a dorm in acouple months and I wondered how Epilstops works on facial hair...is it worth getting? I don't really wanna shave since I gotta share the bathrooms with other girls...any advice?

I think a friend of mine bought it and used it on her legs, and said it was completly useless. Do you have sinks in your rooms in the dorm you are moving into? Sometimes dorms with communal bathrooms do. I wouldn't worry to much about roommates/ suitemates, if your college experience, you will know all kinds of intimate details about one another by the end of the year, PCOS being only one of those.

Another option you could consider is getting a fog-free shower mirror and shaving in the shower, so you will be guaranteed relative privacy.

Good luck and enjoy dorm life!

Default grr...hit the wrong button and posted as a subject.

Agreeing with above. That's junk, don't bother to buy it.

You'd have better luck with electolysis or laser hair removal and in the long run would be permanent and cheaper.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for the advice...I just saved myself $10! I like the idea of just getting a mirror for the shower. Thank you again and God bless!! Have a wonderful Easter!!!

I agree with everyone. Epil-stop was utter crap. I got a chemical burn from it that was extremely painful. My household like to refer to it now as Epil-stop n' burn!

It did absolutely nothing. I might as well have been using water...

Thumbs down Epil Stop

I bought Epil Stop last year and got such a horrible burn and it didn't even work! I agree with Denise26 about the mirror, that's your best bet. Good luck!
