This product is painfully effective. It took a bit more time than usual to arrive for some reason, but when it came I was immediately using it right out of the box. I have never used a threading tool before, but other reviews made it sound like it was going to take a lot of time to figure out which was ridiculous because it is super simple. All you have to do is bend it away from the hairs and than straighten it and than pull (quickly so as not to prolong the pain). When using it above the lip it is very fast and I [had] a lot of fine blonde hair so it took a little time to get it all when using a mirror. People who said that their hairs went between it and that it doesnt work for their hair were not doing it right, and I really cant imagine what they were doing instead. I used a rolling action instead of pulling but I dont think it really matters because once that hair is grabbed it is going unless you release it. It would have been nearly impossible to do this amount of work with a tweezer and no hand cramping or expensive hair remover creams so you save tons of money and time and even pain. Besides it being painful (which really isnt so terrible after a moment), the only other downside is that sometimes when you are focusing on one area you may grab extra hairs from other areas but this can be prevented simply by bending it again to release the hairs..or you could consider it an advantage if you have a lot of work to do like I did. So with that said, it is definitely worth it, very fast and easy...DO NOT USE IT ON YOU EYEBROWS! It's too big for that area so you are better off just tweezing there, which should be simple enough. If you are like me and have upper lip and chin/under chin area hair from super fine to coarse, this will work very well. Plus there is no risk of losing skin like when waxing and you wont even need a mirror but it does help when you are getting down to the last few stubborn hairs or to see how you did. I have tried waxing and even shaving my face in the past, and as a woman it is very embarrassing to shave my face, especially when it creates a "five o'clock shadow" look and the waxing is scarier because you run the risk of losing skin and its just too expensive. This tool will be used for years and makes me feel more confident that I can quickly take care of myself and not feel self conscious that the hair will show up again quickly or in patches like with shaving. I would even go so far as to recommend taking it with you in you makeup pouch or purse daily just in case because it is so quick and effective. If you aren't scared of brief pain and dont want to dish out money every month or week on hair remover creams, waxes or treatments than give this a try because you really cant lose and I think you will be pleasantly surprised. Wish I had it a few years ago when it was brought to my attention that I had "peach fuzz" which later grew to be much more obnoxious. Mother's side of the family is hairy. LOL
*update* Tested it on my husband's facial hair and as another person said, this does not appear to work too well on men's facial hair. He grows strong trees on his face though so maybe it would work better for men with finer hair.

You get what you pay for or I did I guess
Mine arrived yesterday and is badly rusted. And at 6.99 I'm not sure it's even worth the effort it will take to return it.
