It is quite a handy product. It's easy to carry while traveling and kind of does the job if you're in a hotel and have to leave early for a morning meeting. It's not going to give you that awesome smooth touch; there could be a little peach here and there but I guess it's ok if you're like me who is just concerned about not looking like a man (You can get the longer hair but the shorter ones might not get caught into the spring). Price is really good; it costed me 2 bucks when I bought it in 2016. No harm in buying. It does take a few tries to get the hang of it but it's not rocket science; you'll eventually get how to use it.

1) It's NOT the ORIGINAL Myspringit. It's a dupe. (It also came in a tiny ziploc bag which made me uncomfortable so I cleaned the spring with homemade wipes with apple cider vinegar and some alcohol)
2) I've only used it once so far since I got it and it seems to get the job done on my upper lips and chin. It won't pick up the tiniest of hairs but it does get the job done especially on longer, thicker, more visible looking hairs on the face. I think it's great for travel or on the go.
3) I say if you want something different and easy to pack for travel, go ahead. But if you can learn how to thread on your own (which looks quite simple on Youtube and MUCH cheaper) do that instead (this is coming from someone who absolutely hates DIYs but also broke).
4) NO REFUNDS on this product.

I was getting to the point of considering laser hair removal on my upper lip because of all the dark hairs that kept constantly growing back. For me, that's kind of desperate. Plucking just takes way too much time to do every day. But my sister got the REM spring and brought it over for all of us women to try, and I found the answer to my problems!! The REM spring is around $15-ish, though, and I try to save as much as I can. So I figured I'd try this since it's so cheap. Voila! I works just about as well as the REM spring. I haven't had it for very long, so who knows if it will have some durability issues later on, but for now, I'm satisfied. Good buy.

I have to say that this product is exactly what I was hoping for! I was worried after I bought it because people said that the "good" reviews were staged. Then other people said it was no good and didn't work at all. That couldn't be more wrong! It is surprisingly amazing. Seriously, you just sorta pulls the ends out then let loose, then out and let loose. You can bend it, then straighten it on the hairs, and it catches them! It's not necessarily thorough so you have to do it several times, feel around on your face and go to that area with it. So easy, no need for a mirror. Tweezers were helpful for some of the facial hairs that were trying to become ingrown. It catches all of those little hairs on my chin and even upper lip. It catches the thicker hairs too. I put it on the top of my eyebrows for those fine hairs that get in the way of my eyebrow shape. I think they're right about not using it on the lower eyebrow because it could really hurt that thin skin. Whoever said that this product was painful is really a wimp. This is nothing. Tweezers hurt worse. This was actually not painful at all. I really think this is a product that needs to be sold in stores in the U.S. Just a great, great hair removal idea. It took forever, forever getting to me, almost a month!!! People could really make some money on this product.

I've used a lot of different depilatory methods and this is one of the stranger ones. First, it doesn't come with any instructions so you have to either play with it until you figure it out, or go look it up on the internet. I did both because intuitive it isn't.

When I finally figured out how to work with it -- and I really recommend you check out this video on YouTube: Hair Removal - Tried and Tested: EP9 for a good overview of how it works -- I found that it HURT! Yes, I know pulling hair out of your body does hurt but I have waxed and plucked and it was nothing like this. It also doesn't actually remove all the hair it tugs on, so you might be forced to use it several times in the same spot before you manage to de-fuzz.

So, painful, and only somewhat useful? Meh, I don't think I'll be throwing out my tweezers any time soon.
