Don't buy this

I thought I'd post a thread where we could warn each other off certain products..not necessarily grow related.
First up is...Tweezy





I got this as a gift from my mom, actually....(What does it say when your mom hands you a depilatory device?...anyway..)and it was encased in that thick plastic force field that most stuff is wrapped in nowadays.This shield is designed to keep the product in pristine condition by keeping the buyer from ever actually USING the product.
Anyway, I got it open finally, and managed to cut myself on the razor sharp edge that is created anytime you use scissors on the forcefield packaging.
Cursing, I took the device out. It looked a bit like a torture device
...or maybe a Polyp Plucker.
It came with instructions, but I had seen the commercial on T.V, I got the idea. I turned it on, and felt momentarily afraid...What if it pinches my skin?
Turns out my fears were unfounded.I don't know what part of the Sissyverse this thing comes from where unwanted facial hair screams and ejects itself at the sight of a tweezy but...When I get a facial hair (and don't try to pretend women don't), they're serious.Most of them are members of the mafia....they've "set up shop", so to speak.The tweezy couldn't even begin to grip them.

A quick imaginative aid:
Tweezytm.:"Come here, dammit."
Don Vito, the chin hair: "No."

On a lighter note, the tweezy did make my face slighly red where I used it, from friction.Good to keep in mind if you're out of blush.


Verdict:F-

I would never put an epilator on my face! I'm just not masochistic enough. But they're great for the legs, only need to use it once every month or two.

You'd be amazed actually, it's not that bad at first.... tingly pricks that sting a little at most, and I've got chronic pain as well as an extremely low tolerance for pain (two separate issues).... then you get used to it and barely feel anything, just slight pulls that tell you it's working. Waxing is different, as the wax sticks to and rips at your skin. I refuse to even look at wax, it hurts that bad. I stuck with the epilator's stings in the beginning because shaving my legs locks up my hips, and that in itself is horribly painful. I don't want to have a man's legs while still in my 30s, so I decided I'd keep using it for a month. That was four years ago, and my legs still look like they belong to a woman. It was well worth it for me; a trade-off, lesser of two evils. If I was single I wouldn't have bothered, but although my man is sooo much more accepting of me being sick than I am, I still wanted to keep my legs smooth for him. (He doesn't care so to speak, but still notices when they're smooth. lol) Once every month or two isn't so bad, but daily or even weekly is out of the question.

(Please don't mind the aimless rambling.... took a pain pill last night, and I'm so hung over now! lol)

We've got two dogs sleeping between us just about every night. When he was deployed, I let my legs go almost the whole year. But when the heat kicked in and I had to start wearing shorts or skirts, I couldn't stand to look at my legs when sunlight hit them. So I finally caved about a month before he got home. I wish our society was one of those that saw hairy legs on women as sexy.... I'd have been "conditioned" much differently. LOL

Never hear until now but i just looked it up looks like a weird looking piece of equipment for plucking hair. But hey atleast you know need to buy any more blush you can do it the old fashion way by pinching your cheeks with it. If it makes you feel any better i bought the "Magic Bullet" thats always being advertised on tv when it first arrived i was pretty excited to use it. So i started cutting up some ingredients so i can make some homemade salsa, and i throw in some tomatoes, jalapenos, cilantro, salt and a touch of onions. Damn was i surprised at what happend next the stupid little blender got jammed up with the jalapenos inside and couldnt cut any of it up. So i took some of the ingredients thinking maybe i put to much inside and it still gets jammed by the jalapeno, this time i take about half the ingredients out try it again it finally starts blending it then i have to throw the other half of the ingredients to finish it off. So basically i spend money of a sleek looking blender when i already had an old one but it sucks at blending. I dont even use it anymore it pissed me off and its sitting in a cabinet in my kitchen....Im sorry about the long rant stoney but reading your thread made me remember about that stupid magic bullet.

Damn skippy!!! I vaguely remember the bra-burning and refusing to shave legs phase.... whatever happened to that revolution?! (At least the leg part; I can see benefits of the bra. lol)

Or, at the least, helps to keep that at bay a bit longer.... it's still gonna happen. I'm really grateful that I do not have a huge chest! Men generally look me in the eye, and I can get away with no bra most of the time.
