Hi!

I have to admit, after being hairy all these years, I'm rather used to the hair on my arms & legs (but shave my legs when I need to). When I was in 6th grade, I had a horrible time because of one boy. He used to sit in front of me & during the warmer days, I would wear shorts. Not a big deal to me but one day in particular that I can recall, he turned around and called me a "Hairy Monster". Needless to say, I was so upset at that comment I went home & made sure my mom let me shave my legs. And then as I got older, my parents, knowing how upset I was over with my hairy arms & legs, decided to buy me an epilady. I loved that epilady. I used it all over my arms & legs. It worked great for me just rather a little painful at first. As I got used to it more, the pain pretty much subsided & now that I no longer own one, I am seriously considering the purchase of getting another one. And, yes, my hair is naturally dark brown leaving the hairs on my arms & legs jet black but not course that I have noticed. Any questions, please feel free to email me at: schwenk1@msn.com. Thanks! Kris
