Is this product safe for bikini area? I've heard some nasty things about it.

I tried it on my leg and it hurt like hell (using the epilator head). I think that bikini area might hurt even more, I have used it with the regular razor headpiece and it worked like a regular electric shaver, I would not recommend the epilator....unless you have a high pain threshold (apparently I do not in this case).

Yep, safe. Waxing is easier for some areas but especially anything actually visible in a bikini, it's fine. If you're worried about ingrowns, get some ingrown hair treatment product, which you should have anyway.

Hi - I haven't tried using it there (or either of my two previous epilators... I'm too much of a wimp!) However in general I have been very disappointed with this epilator. I would have returned it only I didn't keep the bix (grrr!). Its not very effective, it doesn't catch all the hairs (or even most of them!) and it seems to cut as many as it plucks. In general I love epilators.... but not this one!

It might be safe, but do you want ingrown hairs all around that area? that is my problem, using this product creates lots and lots incrown ugly hairs!!

It's perfect! I've been using it for 2 months i believe. I use it for the whoooole area. The first time, not gonna lie, will be a rather painful, but 100% worth it!. After that the hairs grow back here and there, alot thinner, and i hardly even feel it anymore. Now i'm always smooth and ready to go. ; )Recommendation, soak in a nice warm bubble bath first, and then use lotion right after. Also the redness/irritation from having your hair yanked out by its roots usually only lasts around 24 hours. After a few uses that also gets less noticable. Nothing nearly as bad as the horrible irritation i get from constantly shaving the area.Definitely buy this, i absolutely love it. Best one i've ever used! It's perfect!

Safe, yes. Do you want to? Probably not! I wax this area and that's nothing compared to this thing. Waxing the bikini area is like throwing a party compared to this thing!

No, it hardens into plastic texture and when you pull it from your skin, it breaks into useless piecesIt only works on bikini area.

Wow, Teri I never knew... I used this because it's better than antiperspirants and all the deodorants/crap you find at walmart...I will look for something without it for sure. Thanks buddy I would have never known! Thank you!Below is what research I just found... disturbing...Reduced heart function by 25%endocrine disruption (bad for the skeletal system)Triclosan is clearly listed on product ingredient labels, so you can easily check to see if it's there before deciding on a purchase. This chemical is not only in soaps but also body washes, toothpaste, shampoo, and other personal care and home products. Wow, Teri I never knew...

My bikini line peeled just a little so I only use it once a day and make sure I moisturize the area afterwards and the peeling has gone away :)

yes it will work but would be a little more painful on the face. I use it for armpits and legs. tired the bikini area once and was like @#$@#$@ oh heck no!! haha

Absolutely, it the most nontoxic waterproof sunblock I have found. Other "children's" sunblocks, especially Neutrogena, Trader Joe's, coppertone, etc, are all very toxic. If you go to EWG.org and look for their "Skin Deep" database, you can look up products and it will list the ingredients and their toxicity. I check that website before I buy any skin are product. :)

I've not used it for bikini as I get that professionally done. But it works best on short hair.

I've used one entire container of it so far without negative side effect. http://isnlabs.com is the site for the product, they use male and female models in their imagery and make no specific recommendations on limitations by gender. I'd say you're safe.

It is used for any place that gets irritated and ingrown hair while shaving, so if you are having those issues in those areas, absolutely!! I would agree that the area could get a tad dry, though I haven't had major issues with dryness while using this product. I've experienced no other side effects.

I haven't used under my arms but it worked great for bikini & brows! It's simple to use, too; slightly frightening at first but you get the hang of it. ;-)

NoIt says, and I quote, "Designed for use on the legs, arms, underarms, and bikini line, but not suitable for use on the face..." on the instructions. Do NOT use it on your face!

I'm not sure. I think is better contact the seller. I just use in bikini area. This is a hard wax.

This is not medical advice, it is my personal experience.I am using birth control along with this product. So far I have had no bad or adverse reaction, this is just my personal experience.. However; I have had no results with this product in the bust area so I advise you to invest wisely. This is my own personal experience and i have been using this product since march 13 2013 or around that time.

I don't see why not. I use it on my bikini area and my underarms and it works great. I use it to prevent razor burns and ingrown hairs. It can be a little drying at times but it sure does work.

In my 30s, I still break out easily from bad products in hair/skin. This hasnt been a problem at all with Axe. But since it's so thick, I dont think it ever comes into contact with my scalp. You'd have to thin it out with water and work a ton of product in your hair to the ever reach the scalp. If your son is under 20, please research on this product's safety in teens and young men. I've read articles that it can interfere with me testosterone. Could be BS, and the report may have only been for underarm products, but definitely worth checking into. If he hasn't tried garnier fructis products yet, I have nothing but good experiences with them. They're just too pricey

I'm sure it could. I used this product on my under arms and bikini area that hair is stubborn. Just remember not to scratch or irritate the skin before use. And use a timer when you are finished applying to your face. Don't rub it in just smooth over the surface of the hair. Wash the product off with warm water and then a mild soap. Remember not to apply an after shave. The pores are open and have just been treated with a chemical. You can always test a small area first.

I wouldn't do anything to aggravate/upset the skin before you use this product. Just wash it and tone it, no scrubbing or rough treatment. If you do I think you increase your chances of it burning.I also wouldn't sue this product nightly, it has skin lightening agents, use it only a few times a week.
