What a great idea, so simple yet effective. No more creams or razors, yay!

This costs around £20 (available from Boots or Argos). It is battery powered, only taking 2 AAA's, so you might have to replace them quite a bit. I cant comment on how long mine lasted because I have only just bought this product. However, I actually prefer batteries to plugs, rechargable bits, leads,
etc which in my opinion just get in the way.

The product is just like one of those hair trimmers you would use to shave your head but it is smaller and easier to use. Also looks fairly feminine because it is curvy and pink!

The product has a trimmer comb attached with 5 settings. Personally I think anything above number 3 is really long and you might as well be going for the natural look! but I suppose its good for anyone who doesn't want it too short. You can also remove the comb for what is supposed to be 'close to skin shaving'. This isnt as close as you might think, still leaves a little bit of stubble. Then again, you probably wouldn't want it much closer than that for safety reasons! and it means no risk of ingrowing hairs.

The trimmer is not waterproof, but it is suggested that you stand in the bath to do it because hair gets everywhere! It comes with a little brush for removing hair from the product. The blades are self lubricating so they dont need any attention. Also comes with a neat little case.

I particularly like the fact that it is very small and discret, wouldnt take up any room in your suitcase if you wanted to take it on holiday!
