Conair Hair Remover

[Drucilla]

Has anyone tried the Conair ( or similar) hair remover that works by "sanding" off the hairs. Have seen it advertised and on the shelves at the drug store.
Sounds great ---but don't all the new gadgets , creams, waxes, etc.?
The unit is very affordable ( less than $30) .

It works best on light, fine hair. Not so well on thick or coarse hair. :(
Trust me, as a fair skinned GG with dark hair I try anything and all things put on the market to remove hair. I hate, make that HATE body hair--ick! Anyhooo, hope this helps:)

I find wax is the best method......sure it hurts.......but it lasts the longest. Failing that, just use the hair removal creme, it quick and easy. I have tried the sanding method it does work and tickles a little bit, but like that nice lady said, it usually works best on fine thin hair. :)

I searched this thread remembering it was here. I was curious about the ConAir too. It costs $29.95 at a local store and who knows, Wal Mart may have it for less.

I have some very fine diamond sand paper. It works like the ConAir advertises, but is a slow process. However, I still have stubble after a short time. What I like however it how it softens the skin by pulling out dried debrie from the pores. I have considered buying the ConAir and would like to see some reviews myself.

Looks like it might be good for my woodworking?!

Why don't women use electric rasors that shave as close as a blade or their money back (?). O.k. pink ones maybe, but why not...? seriously.

Welcome Drucilla, nice to have you here. Sorry I can't help you with the product I've not heard of it, when I saw the thread title I thought you wanted to borrow a DVD. :)

Well, blades leave irritation when you don't shave regulary. Besides, I want to elininate the stubble issue....

Some years ago, I bought one of those things that yank the hairs out. Works great (with some pain) and still have it, but it is a 220 volt and now in the USA at 110, just a pain to hook up.

I'm simply checking out options.

Today I broke down and bought the ConAir Hair Removal System. I am a rather pleased with the results. For the hair that wasn't too coarse, it left my skin simply awesome. The some coarser hair is still there, but finer. I figure in another session or two, it should be as nice. I still have stubble where I already had some but I think it will be gone in later sessions as well. I figured I would give my skin a rest and not tackle it all at once. I will post an update later.

I used it on my chest and tummy as well and this is the smootherst this area has has ever been!

My experience is similar to others. Where there is fine hair it does a wonderful job-smooth and it exfoliates. In other places where hair is coarse it doesn't do as well but I found that if you continue in the same area eventually it becomes smooth or you wear down the shaving disc. Don't apply pressure to the skin or you'll get a skin burn
