It's much much better than waxing (less painful!). Once you get the hang of it, you will wonder why you hadn't discovered it earlier. It is simply the best depilatory product, and the effects last 3 times longer than shaving. With regular use, your hair grows finer and with fewer regrowth hairs. You don't need to depilate for up to a month! It is also so good value for money, because it is for life! I would definitely recommend it to anyone.
