With an epilator you will be hair free for 10-14 days and your breasts will be silky smooth to the touch. There may be some irritation the first times you use it, but the skin will get used to it. And when the hair grows back it doesn't do so all at once, and the hairs come in fine and soft. No stubble. There is nothing like the silky smooth breasts you get with an epilator!
I use the cream on my facial hair. Since I'm female, my hair is very fine and thin (which I am SO lucky for, since I'm Italian so all my hair is BLACK!) The cream worked VERY well the first time, and I was silky smooth for over a month! Now, though, it only lasts about a week or two, but that's still longer than shaving! I also have to be sure to get the gentle formula, because I've gotten pretty bad chemical burns from this stuff before. >.> The directions say to leave it on for 4 minutes, but when I first started using this stuff years ago, the directions said 8 minutes max, so I just stick to that and don't have any problems. None of my hair comes off at just 4 minutes. I haven't found a cream yet that works well on my entire body, which is why I continue to shave. Nair works a lot better now than it did ten years ago, and it actually WORKS, but lasts maybe a day longer than shaving. At $6 for a bottle that lasts a few uses, it's totally not worth it.
This is what I use on my face:
