after a few minutes practice you got along well with them. I liked the 'epilation' well done not unnecessarily hurt. The result was great! better than with wax or tweezers. The wax strips also have the disadvantage that always accumulates garbage, constantly have to buy new, and that Wax allegedly contributes to skin aging. Tweezers may simply be somewhat cumbersome.
Since I used the Epistick only a few times, I can not say how long it will last. If he goes sometime broken, I write here now.
