As someone who does not tend to her lady garden very often (holidays and swimming at a push) I thought given the reviews I would give this a go. I like the idea that its in shower use that you do not need to sit on the side of the bath legs akimbo waiting for it to work, with two kiddies under 5 'nobody got time for that!'. I have only used it the once up to now but so far so good. I have not used a hair removal cream since my teens ( heading for 40) but even now I remember the icky smell. This product does have an odour but its pleasant and not at all over powering. I have only used it on my bikini line up to now and hopefully will get a bit more adventurous over time, its been a few weeks since I used it and my bikini line is still fuzz free. All in all a very good product.
