Donating YT 7000 Club Member | "Smooth Away" ? Have any of you guys heard of this before? It's this hair removal without shaving kind of deal. https://www.officialtvwebsite.com/ge...D=228170125512 I just saw a commercial for it. Do any of you use it? What do you think, etc?

| I've been going to ask about these too - I saw them being demonstrated at the state fair back in August & then just week saw they had them in Walgreens. Anyone tried it?

Donating YT 7000 Club Member | I wasn't aware they had them at Walgreens! I just looked up some reviews quickly. It seems to be either a hate it or love it kind of product. For some people it doesn't work at all, and for others it's perfect. I'm also getting the feeling that there's a kind of "technique" to use it! haha. Really interested to see others' opinions!

| I know a product like this was shown quiet few years ago. To me it seems like it's just shaving off the hair, but in a different way. Buffing it off. I highly doubt less hair would grow back over time, as they claim. The only way for this to really happen it for the hair to be plucked or waxed as that causes the actual follicle to die, thus no hair grows out of it. I've never actually used it though, I don't know if it'd really be worth it. It'd be interesting to hear some opinions from those who have used it though.

| Its funny sometimes when someone I know personally hears about something or buys something and then I hear it on here suddenly within days of the first time I ever heard of it! haha A girl at work just bought it, she was super impressed and 'shaved' her legs in her car on her lunch break to try it out LOL She LOVES it! A LONG time ago, maybe 10-12 years ago, I had some product VERY similar. It was for facial hair like mustache or eyebrows... you stuck the little pad on the holder and used it on your face. It worked GREAT. I have no idea where it went or where I bought it or even what it was called, but this type of product has been on the market for a fairly long time. It is really good. Not for bikini line or anything like that... but for legs and facial hair it works well.

| My mom gave me one of these for Christmas and I am NOT impressed with it! I think my *extremely* course leg hair is just too much for it to handle! Granted, it does buff away a majority of the hair, but it left me with a nice little stubble so I still felt like I needed to shave.
