 I'VE TESTED IT EVERYWHERE~! Wish come true for this hairy faced Latin/Hispanic gal! July 13, 2009

It took a lot of guts to buy this after reading some of the one and two star writer reviews. However, after years of suffering from wax burns and irritated skin from every other form of removal...and because I could never hope to get the job done with teezers...I was willing to give it a try especially after seeing it in Oprah's favorite finds list.
I almost rated it 4 stars because it is tricky to figure out how to use it but felt it deserved a 5 because it gets the job done.
The second I found the REM in my mailbox, I ripped it out of the package (it was 11PM when I got my mail) and proceeded to experiment for the next hour and a half.
Since then, I've ravaged my entire face, removing all of my man hair and some! I had spots above my eyebrows, on my cheeks, jaw line, unibrow, chin, under my ears--alllllll over the place! Yes, we're mammals and are supposed to have the stuff but as an olive skinned, dark haired female, it screams "I'm here" with any amount of light.
Here's the scoop:
- It works like a charm on the face.
- I tried it on my bikini line (look, can't blame a gal for trying). It does not work there very well mainly because of the angle but suspect if someone was willing to assist...(naaah. Not really, would not recommend)
- I tried it on my legs. Nope, not good there either. It's just too much surface area and the angle is strange there also.
- If you are going to work around the brows/eyes, careful...it snags to hair...it does not discriminate and if you're like me you will just want to get it all, and, before you know it, you will have caught half your eyebrown and accidentally rip it off. I almost did that...the trick is stop, unbend gently and pull each end away from the middle. I almost paniced...would have been not good. You will laugh, but, I used some scotch tape to cover my brows to work around the top part of my eyebrow and it worked.
How I was able to get it to work:
- The best way: Follow the instructions--bend it and twirl back and forth--both fingers in...both fingers out fast as you push the device FIRMLY against your skin AGAINST the hair folicle.
I tried it the way a writer recommended by twirling in opposite directions. Though it did work, not as effectively as above.
I also tried holding one side and twirling the other...not as effective.
I tried it slightly bent: it works but depends on the countour of your face. I found that it worked well like this on the top of my cheek.
I worked on my unibrow with it standing up, slightly bent, twirling one end while holding the other...it worked...not as well as if I had used it the right way, but I eliminated a lot of hair.
I don't know if it was psychological or not, but did find that if it was not working for me, I would swich/flip it. It almost seemed like there was a 'right way' to use it.
THE EFFECTS:
- Both my cheeks (the top) looked and felt sun burned but recovered well--woke up and it was gone.
- The first few twirls were painful but after a while, the pain feels no worse than plucking...not as bad as waxing.
- Had a couple pimples break out in unusual spots after the first use but none after.
BOTTOM LINE:
- It took me 2 hours of playing/twirling/experimenting before I felt like I mastered it. I can do it my sleep now...so easy.
- It gets the job done but certainly takes some effort, especially the first go around. Since I obliterated 98% of my facial hair within the first 72 hrs of owning it, I just do maint'ce now. It's been a week and don't think the device has plucked a new hair yet. The effects seem lasting.
I highly recommend it but remember: BE PATIENT~!
Beauty is pain, but the price is nice! July 7, 2009

You know what? This little tool really, really works. I wish they'd take the word 'painless' out of their advertising though, because it certainly isn't. As anyone who's tweezed or waxed knows, ripping a bunch of tiny hairs out by their roots at once is anything but 'painless.'
If you're like me, prior to this tool, you had one of three options for hair removal. 1) Use that awful Nair for Face stuff that takes off a layer of your skin along with the hair, and walk around for three days with a red goatee and irritated skin. 2) Face the pain of waxing it off and still walk around with a red mustache and irritated skin afterwards. 3) Tweeze each and every little hair, one by one, consuming a day and a half if you want to get everything. Each option more unappealing than the last.
But this! One little tool you shell out [...] bucks for one time, that you can use without a mirror, sitting in front of the TV, and within a half hour or so be nice and smooth, with no irritated and red skin. SWEET! This little tool is so awesome, I want to tell everyone about it. And it's so simple! No waxes, no tweezers, no smelly creams!
It *is* tricky to learn how to use, however, I will say that. Don't give up, however. Just experiment. The most important thing is the turning of the handles, so that the hair is caught in the spring and literally being twisted off. And it doesn't have to be in a sharp U shape like in the picture. I've gotten bunch of hair in a wide crescent before.
Give it a try if you're tired of the waxing Nairing red face thing! You won't regret it.
Absolutely fantastic! August 17, 2009

Fuzzy Wuzzy wuz a... not me! Ha! This little REM Spring for facial hair removal is absolutely fantastic. UPS delivered it less than an hour ago and I'm fuzz-less already.
To you Ladies who wrote about not finding success with this little Spring, please be patient and keep trying.
Let me tell you about my experience: I read the reviews here last week before I ordered the Spring and when it arrived today the tips from these reviews were forgotten. Off I went with my Spring, magnifying mirror, tweezers, and eye glasses to find hairless happiness. I read the instructions that came with the Spring and went from there.
The Spring was turned into a U for most of the time in use, and the ends were twirled in one direction or another or the same while I experimented (this was due to a lack of coordination rather than a science-based determination to experiment). Voila! The little hairs from my upper lip, lower lip, and chin are gone. Am not exactly sure which mode of holding the Spring worked but something did.
I'm not advocating going about this willy-nilly, but if you spend a bit of time you will succeed. Don't be too locked into the how of it. Try staying with the U shape and turning the ends to see what happens... play with it. You will be sooo glad you did.
My upper lip is slightly tender (emphasis on 'slightly'). That's not a problem for me. This little Spring is heaven-sent: it works and I am grateful.
Thank you, Amazon.com, for these reviews. It is unlikely I would have ordered a Spring to remove facial hair if I'd not read what these other ladies had experienced.
Fantastic product! September 8, 2009

I was somewhat skeptical about this device, but bought it anyway because hair removal is such a chore and I'll try almost anyhing that promises to make it easier. I've owned it now for a couple of months and I love it! I use it all the time and it works so well. The best part is how easy it is to use, and not painful for me! Now I will qualify that by saying that because it's not painful for me, that doesn't mean that it won't be for someone else. Of coirse that will depend on the thickness and number of hairs being removed as well as individual sensitivity to pain. But for me this is soooo much more comfortable than waxing, threading or even plucking. It should say something that I've already ordered a second one for a friend!
Works very well July 24, 2009

This spring removed hair I didn't even know I had (very fine). I opened it as soon as it arrived and was practicing in the car (passenger seat). Halfway through the car ride I was on my way to removing most of my chin hair. It is only a little painful (nothing major and very quick) but it works very well. There was one or two hairs that was difficult to get..you can be persistent or just grab tweezers for the 1 or 2 strays. But overall, my chin is now very smooth and I'm very happy.
