The product is like a sandpaper hand bufffer you rub on your legs and it is supposed to make them smooth. there is also a smooth away brand. If you have tried it does it work? and how long does the hair have to be?
Answer
Don't get me wrong...I'm definitely not suggesting people use this the way I've used it, but I do want to say that I have used it for more than just hair removal...
Which it does just great. I've used it on my arms and legs with success, but it could be because my hair is so babyfine that it's the reason it works well.
But I've also used it on my upper lip and chin hair - VERY gently!
AND...(drum roll please) I've used it to slowly sand down the layers of skin on top of those annoying "milia" I was getting on my face before finding out that salicylic acid will take care of them. And I've also used it to sand down a few very tiny skin tags that were just beginning in the area of my underarm.
The key to using it is not to be impatient. Gentle circular motions done for five minutes on any particular area are way better than frantic scrubbing for two minutes.
I've gotten a lot of use from mine!

Fine grade sandpaper!, April 10, 2006
By BookNerd "S." (Denver, CO USA) - See all my reviews
I bought these mitts for the usual reason-easy hair removal. When you open the box, the 'mitts' look and feel like fine grade sandpaper that you could find in a hardware store! I followed the directions by rubbing my leg gently with the mitt, and it didn't remove the hair. You can't rub too hard or too much, because it does start to burn. Plus, you end up with alot of white powder on your legs that prevents you from seeing what actually came off. I wouldn't recommend this product to anyone. It didn't do what it was supposed to do, and not worth the money. It would sand some wood nicely though...... Help other customers find the most helpful reviews

Hair Off Mittens are GREAT!!, January 18, 2007
By A. M. Hamblin (MA USA) - See all my reviews
I have been using Hair Off Mittens for several years now. I always purchased them at our local drug store or discount stores. For the past 6-12 months they are no longer available in stores so when I found them on Amazon I was so excited. These mittens are so easy to use - no cuts or knicks - just rub the hair away. The results are amazing! Help other customers find the most helpful reviews

I love these!, August 9, 2006
By Connie Nelson "Luv2ReadBooks" (Arkansas, USA) - See all my reviews
I used to buy the Hair Off Mittens at Walmart and love them! My skin has never been so soft and smooth and hairless, and they have never hurt me, guess it just depends on the person like most everything else. I haven't shaved my legs in several years since discovering this product and won't. I just wish Walmart was still selling them, but thank goodness I can still find them online. Heck, I even use them on my elbows to remove the rough spots. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews

Its Better than anything else in this price range, August 15, 2006
By Jessie New "J-True" (Jacksonville) - See all my reviews
Ok, as far as price Amazon is pushing it a little here it should never cost more than $5. But the product is awesome. I used it years ago until it wasnt sold in stores any longer and I actually have some hair folicles that no longer grow back. And I am a hairy beast. It is alot faster than shaving or nair on extra hairy legs. Anyone complaining about pain was just startled by the looks of it. It seems like it would hurt because it looks like sand paper. But After Nair's chemical burns, riping the hair off with wax, and cuts from shaving I have never removed my hair in a more painless fashion. Its reusable for a couple of times and as long as you can take a little heat you will be ok. I have sensitive skin and it worked great for me. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews

Hair off Mitten pad is the worst product i have ever used.., March 25, 2006
By nesrin (Boston, MA) - See all my reviews
I bought it on line and I wish I had never bought it. Although it removes the hair, but it is extremely painful. it leaves red spots on the legs. (My skin is not sensitive). It burns the skin as if I am burning my legs with fire. Unfortunately I bought 5 and I thought it is as good as the Sally Hansen Pad removal (I don't know why they stopped selling the Sally Hansen ones). Now I can't return
