It’s a First Generation Epilady
Does the Epilady remove hair? Oh yes, by means of quickly rotating coils that trap each hair and pull it out like tweezers. It wasn’t so much that this thing didn’t work that puts it in the “fail” category…it’s that it hurt like hell! You know the scene from “The 40 Year Old Virgin” where Steve Carrell gets his chest hair waxed? Well, I don’t want to exaggerate but it nearly feels that bad.

joyce england says
I didn’t have one but i could hear the neighbor useng hers. She only did one leg and threw it away. She said she would braid her leg hair before she used it again
Terry Jackson says
I remember. They were very painful. Sold my in one of my yard sales.
Maura says
I said I would rather amputate my leg! God forgive me’
Karen says
They were torture devices!! Would rather amputate my leg also. Threw mine away I could not let another person use that thing.
Connie says
Please Maura don’t say you would rather amputate your leg. I lost my left leg and hip, not fun to be stuck in a wheelchair 24/7. Can’t get a leg cause don’t have a stub.

That first generation Epilady was the source of that woman’s screams that woke me up last night. Ouch!!
