Does this Product sucks or what?

I mean, I have just been reading the reviews on Amazon and it's not looking good...

I have put five below just to give you a flavor...

This product is a total rip off. On my legs it was at least painless, although even using the stubble blade and buffing extensively my legs did not feel completely smooth. However, I will keep trying it to see if the hair becomes more sparse over time. I also tried it on my arms and that was a mistake, not quite so painless there. I watched the DVD it came with and did everything I was supposed to do. The unit is supposed to turn itself off if it gets to warm but just going over my arms I ended up with several burns from the wire in the blade. The burns aren't severe but even a week later I still have small scabs all over my forearms. I don't know if this actually works for some people, but I think if you have thicker hair it won't leave you smooth, and if you have sensitive skin it might even be dangerous.

I have had laser hair removal on various parts of my body; however, am not ready to invest in my full legs. Therefore, I was looking forward to a cheaper alternative! I have pretty coarse hair on my lower legs, and finer hair on the upper legs. I had terrible results with the 'No No No' product. I spent about 45 minutes each day for 3 weeks trying to 'shave the hair off my legs and to no avail. I was left with very prickly legs each day- somewhat similar to a 2-3 day growth. I went over the areas repeatedly and buffed until i thought my skin was going to come off. It also left my whole house smelling like burning hair! (I could live with it, but my boyfriend was horrified ;) ) Needless to say, I will not continue to waste my time. On the upside, I had no pain with it ;) Otherwise, it sucked. Please don't waste your money.

I was very excited to get No!No! in the mail and was even ready to set aside the time to use it 2-3 times per week. However, as a busy, working mother of two, I would NEVER have bought this product because it is so time consuming. To No!No! my legs, it typically takes between half an hour to an hour, each time. In that amount of time, I could have shaved my legs and done a million other things. And the results may be (after a few months) some thinning in the amount of hair, but what is the point - you STILL have to shave if you want to be hairless. Is 50% less stubble (if that) worth so much money, especially when you STILL need to shave? Think about it. What is the point??? It is odd that people claim to be excited about a little less hair in areas where they would like to be hairless. This product does not make you hairless. It is pointless.

I have been using the no!no! for a few months and my advice to those that are considering dumping money into this product is NO! NO! I've used it on my arms, legs and, yes, the bikini area. The best results I saw were on my arms, which is about the same as 3-4 days of growth on my legs. Nothing came out smooth even with up to 10 passes in the same area despite their warning. The stubble blade is useless. I saw better results with just the wire. The smell is nauseating, and it stays on your skin unless you shower and scrub the treated area immediately. Its extremely time consuming because of it's lack of effectiveness. The only time I will use this in the future is in the winter when no one will see my legs anyway and I don't mind having a little stubble. The hair on my arms and everywhere else has not grown back any thinner or more sparse. FYI, I'm going to my first electrolysis appt tomorrow. It's not as expensive as some would think and it gives you REAL and permanent results.

I was excited when I ordered this product. As days went by my enthusiasm drifted. When I finally received my no!no! I didn't want to use it while my family was home so I decided to wait till everyone was gone-which is today-and I began to use the no!no!. First things first, I did read everything I was suppose to and watched the cd. For some odd reason I was actually scared to use this. I began gliding it up my leg. I could feel the hair burning off my lower leg. The slower I went up my leg the more I began feeling the heat from this laser remover. It freaked me out so I lost my gliding edge. The green light flickered of course and that's where the pain came in. It was subtle pricking but that hurt like the dickens. Not only did the pricking hurt, when you're done gliding it pricks as well. I was a shaver but got tired of having to shave 2xs a day. I tried waxing but there's no thrill of yanking a cloth from your legs only to find that the hairs are still nicely in tack and that you have successfully removed about 2 or 3 layers of skin instead. So I went to epilating. I've been doing this since 2001. I don't know why I can tolerate that kind of pain but I can't tolerate the pricking of the no!no!. When I realized I couldn't handle that sensation on my legs I said aloud to myself 'I weep for my thighs'. That's when I realized I won't be using this thing. It took a looong time for me to get use to epilating my thighs because they're so sensitive and I'll be a monkey's uncle if I go through the same thing with this no!no!. I don't even want to keep it to see if I could get used to it like my epilator. If something does come out where it actually isn't painful then I'll try it. Other wise this no!no! is a no!go!.


Oh dear...not good
