HG, especially for underarms. Hurts but pain decreases after several uses, and you develop techniques to make it less painful. Can take off stubble. I use the original model (not the Optima). ...

I bought this epilator after hearing from a co-worker how wonderful this is. I was looking for an alternative to messy waxing and irritating shaving. This was not a good choice! This machine number...

The Emjoi Gently Gold Caress recieves only a 4 lippie rating for the following reasons: 1. This machine is VERY loud, I would rate as loud as a blender or mixer on medium speed. In fact, my...

This review is of the Emjoi Optima. I got it when I was going to be traveling for an extended time on a boat, where there was limited water but unlimited power. It was very painful for the...

Love love love epilators. These things are great. I have the Gold Caress and even though it can be slightly painful at first, your tolerance level will increase. I use this every day on the...

This has become a HG product for me! I agree with other posters that this may not work as well for everyone. I have dark hair that is fairly corse, and usually after I shave I feel "prickly"...

***Review is for the “Emjoi Optima”*** There is nowhere else to put this review for now. Once an “Emjoi” category is added or “Emjoi Optima,” then I can move it. Anyway, I struggle with KP and...

I adore my Emjoi Optima. Does it hurt? Of course it hurts! But here's a tip: either wax yourself or get a pro waxing before you use your Emjoi the first time. When you grow out all your hair,...

Once I actually got past the initial pain of using this, I really liked it. It does take some getting used to. I use it on legs, bikini area and my big toe. I have tried it on the face, und...

I really, really like the Emjoi Gently Gold Caress Cordless. I have the Optima as well. My fave is the Gently Gold, because you can use it anywhere, I use it on upper lip, underarms, legs and...

I'm so happy with my Emjoi Gently Gold (the white and light blue one). I had been waxing my thick sideburns and they would start to grow back in a week. My hair is so dark and thick that I didn't...

This works fabulously well on legs and bikini line. It was and is very painful to use on my underarms, and rather than face that pain again I am back to shaving there. It is absolutely useless on...

I have both this and the Emjoi Optima. I prefer the Optima, but before that was released the Gently Gold was in my book the best epilator I'd ever used. Epilators will never be painless, as they...

I have had my emjoi for over a year now. I was hesitant to buy it because I was broke at the time and it seemed so expensive, but I'm really glad I made the investment. I have read comments on the...

I can handle doing the legs - it feels like a ton of tiny little pinpricks all at once in one area. It stung (esp. around the ankles and lower calves) and it took a few times going back over the...
