Epistick - what do I do with it?

My epistick hair remover gizmo arrived this morning but with no instructions. I thought it would be self explanatory but I'm stumped. Could someone give me an idiot's guide please?

Is it the one that looks like a giant, springy cotton bud with pink handles?

Have a look on youtube,, bound to be some tutorials there.

Basically though, you bend it so it's curved and the gaps open up, apply to hairy area, then kind of straighten and roll. If you've got it right, you'll feel the hairs being plucked out. V satisfying to see them all stuck in the spring!

Bend into a u-shape and, holding right to your face, gently twiddle the ends round. It works (but is bloody painful)!

Bin it.

Mine was useless along with BBH, steam mop and loads of other things recommended my MNWink

I'm a sucker for the recommendations too Dame but I had to say, the Epistick worked for me mainly because I have an inordinately hairy face Grin

In fact I've just rushed to buy the cheap equivalent of Footners on Amazon because someone recommended them on Style and Beauty. God, I must have spent a fortune over the years on MN recs!

Thanks all. I'd just plucked my hairy chin when the parcel arrived, but the little buggers will have grown again by tomorrow so I'll give it a try then.

I'm also a sucker for MN recommendations. I have a Babyliss Big Hair that only got used once.

I love and hate the epistick I bought due to recommendations on here, in equal measure. Nothing removes hair like it, and it stays clear for ages, but fuck it hurts!
