I was sooo excited the first couple of times I used this. It does hurt a bit, but less and less the fewer hairs there are to be grabbed by the spring mechanism - and it's kind of a fun/addictive little action.
I've been using it on my upper lip, where I only have fine, very blonde hair but sometimes I get paranoid foundation sticks to that area and creates a shadow (dear god no!). So I just used it and went to inspect my face under a very bright light. To my dismay I saw tiny stubs of blonde hairs - the q stick seems to have just been breaking the hairs instead of pulling them out from the root. I may as well have been shaving!
This may not be an issue for people with thicker hair however, but definitely check the spring to make sure you can see the roots of the hair are being removed.
