I use them in addition to other hair removal products as well. If I have waxed I sometimes get ingrowing hairs and so the mitt is a good way to deal with them. If I have used cream the mitt keeps regrowth finer. The same could be said for shaving.

I was looking for a cheap alternative to shaving in between waxes, as I want to try to make the hair thinner. These are really cheap, just make sure you adhere to the "don't rub too hard" rule. I didn't, and the results where quite painful! They also do a Boots Silkymit hair removal version for underarms, which I bought, but I haven't yet tried it for fear of hurting myself again!

Boots Silkymit Pack of 3 Review: Right, so I'm in a shop, totally annoyed because the top I desperately wanted is out of stock, my legs are hurting because I've used a razor on them and my makeup is dripping off because of the rain. So what do I do when I see a sort of CD sleeve with a picture of a badly tanned woman with a wrinkly face and an out-of-date hairdo? Obviously, I pick it up.
"Silkymit, For sooth, hair-free legs."
Oh. My. Gosh. This has to be a joke. That was what I was thinking. So I opened the CD sleeve and say a few bits of wet-and-dry sandpapery stuff. I thought "Jeez, what a marketing scam." Bit then I saw the price: 99p (about $1.20), so I thought, whats the harm in trying it. Its not a lot of money, no big deal. So I bought it. Ok, so you're probably thinking, what does this thing look like? Well, as I said before, there's a picture of a badly tanned woman with a skanky hairdo in beige lingerine with a black thing on her hand. The rest of the packed is just white with black, bold text on it. Inside there's a little plastic bag that smells bad, and in the bag there are 3 sandpapery loops of blacky-blue paper about 7x7cm.
So what happens when you use this... "silkymit"? Well... you rub on your legs... and then the other way... repeat it about 5 times, and voila! a hair-free patch on your legs!
Overall, I'd say you should buy the silkymit, just have some razors handy...
