I saw this Smooth Away product  on Television and had to try it, but could not find it anywhere. I searched everywhere and after about a month I found them in Bed Bath & Beyond, so i bought two packages.  I tried it as soon as I got home. It kind of is like a sander for skin. it takes a little while before you start to see the hair vanish, but it really does work and it really does remove the hair with no pain or razor burn in addition to exfoliating you skin.  It does take some time as it is not a quick process, but once the hair is removed, it did not row back for a full three weeks.  The package includes five large and five small replacement pads along with the initial large applicator and one small applicator, but I found I was able to reuse one pad two times, so I actually got ten uses from one box.  The small applicator they give you is hard to use since it keeps slipping off my finger, so I did not think this worked too well for me, but I espicially liked uing the large pads.  I think this is a wonderful touch up kit and is great for travel as well as you can remove the contents from the box and pack it in your suitecase without taking up too much room. At first it seems a little expensive, but if you consider your getting probably about ten treatments it is worth it as it costs about a dollar a treatment.  If you can use the small strips it's even a better deal.  I keep it in my purse and use it for quick touch ups, plus I never have to worry about getting caught off guard as I can always escape to the woman's room to remove any missed hair if need be.  And after I use it my skin always feels so soft because it also exfliates your skin as it removes the hair, so that's another plus.  I even remove the hair on my arms and it looks so natural, no stubble, even when the hair grows back (For me anyway).  It's so safe I bought one for my teenage daughter as I feel it's safer and I don't have to worry about nicks or gashes with an actual razor, which can b painful and somewhat dangerous.
