Threading coil thingy for tash and facial fuzz--got one today it's brilliant!

[piratecat]

Takes a bit of working out technique wise, but the secret is to rotate/or twist the handle bits between finger and thumb as you move up skin.

Make sure you have a 'U' shape too.

I have never bothered about tash area, but the last few yrs, it has been getting more noticeable (early 40's).

I am a bit of a wimp pain wise and it does sting, but i like swearing!

[MillionPramMiles]

Definitely hurts! But left my upper lip far less sore than waxing or threading. And cheap and convenient. Bit tricky to get the hang of though, wouldn't have the patience for a large area and agree def not for eyebrows. Ingenious gadget.

Anyone holding an epistick in one hand and contemplating an eyebrow .... Take it from me, don't do it.

I suffered so you don't have to:

1. It didn't work properly on the eyebrow.
   
2. It hurt like a bastard on the eyebrow.
   
3. It was impossible to control on the eyebrow and randomly yanked out all the eyebrow I wanted to keep while carefully leaving behind all the bits I was hoping to remove.
   

Stick to tweezers or threading for eyebrows but certainly epistick the rest of your face and arms and neck and hands

Ah that's ok then. I'll veet for now and be patient. Thanks.

Just checked down-thread - was the 26 June

[TheLateMrsLizCromwell]

It was a few weeks ago - went on hols (Veetedly ) and forgot about it - then it arrived yesterday.

[Coumarin]

When did you order it TheLate ?

Starting to wonder if I should give up waiting and get the veet out.

[TheLateMrsLizCromwell]

mine arrived today - trying it later

[Coumarin]

Did anyone else order the 67p one from Amazon?

Ordered mine over a week ago and it hasn't arrived yet,

[Coumarin]

There's lots of videos on Youtube demonstrating how to use it. The AprilAthena7 one is pretty clear.

Amused that a lot of them look about 16 years old.

[Coumarin]

Ordered the 67p one. Not worried about the pain, (she says now.), but hope it doesn't give me spots as I can be prone to them. Mind, for 67p it's worth a go.

Do you have to pull the skin taut? If so, how do you then roll the doofer across your face?

[lagoon]

Ha the price must be coming down with all the mumsnetters purchases

Felix: make sure you have a good solid 'U' shape and are giving it chance to roll over enough skin to actually feb something. Some rolls I get nothing then another get a few sharp pulls wen something is popping out!!

I think I'm the only person who still can't work out how to use it I've done what you all said and nothing happens!

[RubyReins]

67p with free p&p on Amazon right now!

[piratecat]

yay

[lagoon]

Mine has arrived and so far it's brilliant, it's removed all the little straggly hairs my waxing/hair removal cream seems to miss and my skin was only pink for a few minutes. Yay!

[piratecat]

brilliant.

[something2say]

Search facial hair removers on eBay.
On the back of this thread, I got one on fri, delivered sat.
Fantastic!
You learn how to twiddle properly and then go all over your face.
Totally agree with whoever said it removes hairs you didn't know you had...
I do feel tidier for using it. Not having hair growth issues as I hit 40 this Sept!
No idea yet re spots or re growth......but hopefully not too bad either way as this little tool has seriously impressed me.

[YoungBritishPissArtist]

This sounds right up my street!

Can someone please link to a cheapy one on Amazon/eBay?

[piratecat]

not sure yet as only peeping through. mine are dark so i am sure yours won't show as much.
if yours aren't bothering you or becoming more noticeable maybe not worth it.

[rollonthesummer]

What's the re growth like?

I have slight fine hairs above my lip but they are blonde and not obvious. It would be nice if they weren't there though. If I were to use this threading thingy-would they grown back thick and leg hair like and I'd wish I'd left them alone?!

[piratecat]

[Cocolepew]

Mine hasnt caused any irritation , and I have very sensitive skin. It definitely works. But, like I said Im only doing a small bit at a time, then having another go an hour later wimp

[DiscoDancer]

Just ordered one from eBay too! Very fuzzy person at the moment ??

[HeeHiles]

Trillions I stopped using mine so often as it gives me spots too but it was effective apart from that - top lip hurt - A lot!!!!!
