I'm not sure if this is worth it. I don't have a ton of body hair, but I thought it would be worthwhile to test it out because I love the idea of not having to shave ever again. i have a lighter skin tone and dark hair so I thought I would be a good fit for this. i would say it's been OK. It worked well on my leg hair and upper lip, I would say it's been 50-75% reduced. But it hasn't made a difference at all in my bikini area or under-arm. I've used it for 4-5 months now and I feel like I've seen no progress. Overall I feel like it's not really worth the investment, I'm still shaving so it hasn't really saved me any money at all. Relatively painfree and easy to use though.
