What’s this called?

Years ago, I bought a thing off eBay that was recommended by people here. It’s a spring to get rid of unwanted facial hair. I didn’t get to grips with it, but I now want to give it another go before I end up a bearded woman. I need to look up a YouTube video for how to use it. What’s it called?

"Hurts like hell" spring? I remember getting one too! Only used it once.

That’s the one! 😂

I think I’m missing something. 2 million Japanese women can’t be wrong Wink

Those things are fucking painful but effective. Try hair removal spring?

Thanks. Found a video. Turns out I was using it properly. I think I have a low pain threshold.

I think those things are just bastards

It's an epistick I think

The thing just caused me a lot of physical pain but was shite at actually removing hair Grin

Epistick. I don't find it that painful anymore as I give my top lip and chin a quick once over a couple of times per week so not much hair each time.

The first time is the worst. Once you get past that it's not too bad as long as you do it regularly.

I absolutely love my epistick and have used it for years. I find that if I use a little facial oil on my upper lip before using the epistick it doesn't hurt at all. If I do it without applying oil it hurts. Hope this tip helps the ladies saying it hurts to use an epistick.
