As Seen On TV Tweeze Hair Remover — 

Quick View: The "As Seen in TV" demons got at me once again. I saw an infomercial for Tweeze (pronounced Tweezie). It said it was painless and safe and would remove hair from faces and other unwanted areas and keep it away for weeks. Right. Well, if you're into torture, you may like this thing. Otherwise, look elsewhere.

About As Seen on TV Tweeze Hair Remover

This "thing" a battery operated plastic do-dad with wires on the top. You hold it like you would a traditional shaver but slant it slightly. Turn it on and it will buzz. Put it against your face and you will shriek, scream, cuss (even if you never have before), and possibly cry. Your face will feel like you have sucked the skin off it and you will have big red marks where you have attempted to discreetly remove unwanted hair. The Tweeze is slightly less painful on other parts of the body but still, crazy painful. I am not a fan of unnecessary pain but I am not a wuss. I can take pain well. But why should I? I tried this on what I call my "side burns" and it about killed me. Then it left the area bumpy and red and much more noticeable then the little downy hairs I had there. It took days before my skin returned to normal. I was happy to see the fine hairs grow back. I learned my lesson. Some things are not meant to be messed with.

This can be used on men and women. No man that I know of would put up with that kind of pain unless it was just to zap a stray hair or two. I mean, I had two big ole baby boys with no medication and I almost couldn't stand the pain from this thing. A guy would toss this thing so fast, it wouldn't have a chance to bite them like it did me. And it DOES feel like the thing bites. I guess it wraps hairs around the wires and twists them until they are pulled out by the roots. GAWD. No thanks. I hatedddddd Tweeze and refuse to go near the evilness that it is.

My Viewpoint

Don't be sucked in by the commercials of women smiling as they use their Tweeze. It is obviously not turned on. Or they have been anesthetized before using it. This thing HURTS and burns the skin. It leaves you with red, irritated, bumpy skin that takes days to calm down. It's a big ole crock. And I fell for it as usual. Sheesh, when will I ever learn? 1 star.

This thing really hurts but may work for you. I find waxing works well. They have facial strips and it does the job almost with no pain and it lasts a long time.

Thanks for posting . I am looking for something for my upper lip and chin. I used to have them waxed but lately the wax has been bothering me.

Oh yeah, this thing is painful. If you're used to epilators, it may not be as bad as it was for me. It BITES!

I'm glad I read the reviews before I purchased this item. I read reviews on another site, with these amazing reviews that must have been posted by people who work for the company. Thank you for the info!

Ouch! I hope this review causes the loss of a few sales of this thing... it sounds awful.
