Senior Ladies Only Please - Have any of you bought a Tweezees?

You know, just like the ones advertised on the TV - to remove excess facial hair (OMG - I said it!!!) - Well, have you? And if you have tried it, what did you think of it. And lastly - did it hurt to use it? Honest answers only please - these are wanted before I invest 19.99 + S & H. Thank you CJ

I put this in Seniors where this problem seems to prevail - but anyone can answer! Thank you. CJ

Update:

Sorry MamaSmurf - I should have said - where this problem occurs most often!

Pls. forgive me! CJ

Update 2:

Suzie - I have been doing that! No longer effective - skin is sore - so wanted to check this gizmo out instead!

    Yep....that and a whole host of the other scams...Tweezies is a joke....it hurts like hell and it doesn't work. It pulls hairs....but you can plug in and old razor and get the same effect.

    It pulls your hair out by the root....get ready for infected hair folicals and all the rest....next would be your husband wondering why you have a nose sized pimple on your crotch!!!

    bought it and need to replace little batteries. Its easy to grab and does a good job on the ones that are the length you need but they say if you can feel it it will get it.I don't think so but for the most part I liked using it but either I use it too often or I'm lazy but I hate putting new batteries in. May be if I had my old battery charger and rechargeable batteries I would be OK.

    got mine at Bed Bath and Beyond and had a 5.00 off coupon on it.

    The purchase of Tweezies was the best thing that I have ever purchased. In fact I have two and keep one in the car. As far as pain, there really is none. Well, maybe for just a nano second, but I wouldn't call it pain. Come on ladies, toughen up. I am actually ordering two more, one as a back-up and one for my travel bag.

    Frankly -- In my opinion, anything that is advertised on TV is pretty much a scam (and junk!). Don't waste your money.

    Can't imagine how much the Shipping and Handling would be? yikes!

    I have not used that specific one, but had the epilady and the only way I could use it was if I was drunk or sedated. I mean it hurt big time. Would not try that again ever.

    No, I have not bought one....I have been having a hard time with my eyebrows....I have arthritis in my hands.....I started going to get them shaped and the hair permanently removed and I love it......it is a lot cheaper then it was years ago.....

    I don't know what tweezees are but assume they are some kind of tweezers. I just use my regular tweezers to do that job. And, not, it doesn't hurt.

    If you look at yourself without your glasses, you don't see the excess facial hair.....
