I shouldn't have stubble the day after I use it?

Aw come on! Isn't anyone going to say:

First world problem!
Is that all you have to worry about?

or

I shaved 5 minutes ago and I already have inch long hair!!

is it not 'up to' 7 days

Tee2072 · 08/07/2013 18:22

It might be NotYo. But I would think it would still last longer than a shave!!

Have you PCOS?

Not officially, no.

It may not be a statement. It may be an instruction. Try holding the bottle at your leg hair so it can read it and comply.

I checked and it does say 'up to 7 days'.

But really it lasts longer when I shave. What a waste of money that cream was!

I was really disappointed with hair removing cream too.

But when you think about it, it just does the same as shaving, ie removes hair at skin level. So if you have hair like mine, you will have stubble the next day. No way would I be hair free for seven days!

I epilate everywhere I can now and get quite good, longish lasting results.

But it doesn't do it at the surface, or so it claims. It claims to work below the surface!

It lies, basically...
