Smooth Away Hair Removal

Might as well have gone to the hardware store!

I got this product thinking this would be great for my bikini area (I'm a swim instructor and life gaurd so I have to be super diligent about hair removal). I tried it and followed the instructions to the letter and came out looking like I had an abrasion/rash all over the test area (upper thigh) that I chose. I took the pad to my regular waxer and she laughed (insult to injury LOL) and told me that this had been on the market several years earlier only to be taken off the market because the pads were too abrasive. I was informed by the facialist that she went to the hardware store when they came out again and showed to the wood working specialist and was shown the EXACT grade of silicone sandpaper that the Smooth Away was. EEEK So bottom line, you're better off with either a razor or a $0.22 piece of sandpaper.
