ASOTVI Review of Tweeze

What is it? An electric tweezers product for plucking small hairs as opposed to shaving or manually plucking with a traditional pair of tweezers.

Rating: Works As Advertised

Claims:

• Perfect for both men and women. The product was evaluated on both a man and woman and found to work as advertised.
• Control with pinpoint precision in any direction, unlike manual tweezers. Not observed. We followed the product’s instructions and rotated it around quickly over a general area.
• Easily removes even the shortest, finest hair. We did observe this to be true, as illustrated in our video. The finer the hair, the more effective the product. For coarse hair with deep roots, it can take a few passes for the product to get a grip and get them.
• Leaves skin soft and stubble free. True.
• Ideal for all skin types. Not evaluated.
• Safely removes hair, no cuts or nicks. True.
• Use on Lip, Chin, Knees, Cheeks, Toes, Bikini, Underarms. We only observed this product’s use on arms and legs, but presumably it would achieve similar results elsewhere.
• Easy to clean, includes cleaning brush. Does come with a cleaning brush.

This product is an epilating device that uses a rotating head consisting of two wheels mounted at a slight angle to each other, such that they come together at the point where they make contact with skin and move apart at the opposite side of their rotation. This action allows hairs to move into the groove created and when reaching the point of contact between the wheels, the wheels get a grip on the hair and the rotation pulls the hair out by its roots.

We found the process of using the product painless, for the most part, although a few hairs could be troublesome and sting a little upon removal, as they would be by being plucked via any other method. The one element of this product that helps make it less painful than manual tweezers is the speed of its rotating wheels, catching the small hairs quickly (think of it in terms of removing a Band-Aid fast or slow – fast is better).

The instructions indicate that any hairs longer than five millimeters should be trimmed, presumably with scissors or some other hair trimming device, prior to use of this product.

We did not evaluate this product in terms of precision grooming, such as eyebrows, bikini line, or around mustaches and beards. However, we did try it on a male neck with short beard stubble, and it did successfully tweeze out those hairs. Therefore, for those men who might be prone to ingrown neck hairs, which can cause the skin to break out, this would potentially be a good product to help address that condition. But be advised that ingrown hairs can sometimes be painful to remove, regardless of the method or product used to do so.
