Well, I have only had mine for a week, but sos far so good. My skin feels heavenly! The blemishes I had when I got it are healing and I do not have any new ones yet. One of my friends recommended it to me and her skin looks great! I have known her for 9 years and it never has looked better. She swears she has not had a breakout in 4 months!

The Dr. Bronner's will certainly leave a residue and need an acidic rinse. The company even states that it is not meant as a shampoo. However, they do sell a citrus rinse for use after using their product as a shampoo.

I started using a Ladycup three cycles ago. I am 38, and have 3 children (c-sections). I have the Large Ladycup. It works great; no leaks, and very comfortable. I don't even feel it.

I remove the hairs on my face- upper lip, random "beard" hairs, and when I feel like it I tweeze between my eyebrows.

I also remove the hairs on my big toes. But the legs and armpits are fuzzy.
