We can always rely on TikTok to suggest unique products to solve our problems, such as the viral hair removal stone. But, do the best hair removal stones work, and are they worth buying? Youll be pleased to know that weve done the hard work for you by putting together the best hair removal products with our hand-on-heart honest verdict about hair removal stones. Youre welcome.

　　On that note, we can all agree that when it comes to hair removal, shaving is certifiably the worst, right? Youve got to dedicate a whole evening to finding a spare minute in between hair-washing days and sitting-on-the-shower-floor-letting-the-water-hit-you-thinking about-life shower days. Then, theres exfoliating, scrubbing and foam, even before the business at hand. Not to mention having to precariously balance on the side of the bath like a lathered-up ninja.

　　Back to our best of... If youre wanting to avoid that, even using the best electric razors for women can give you... shudder... the dreaded strawberry legs. According to TikTok, thats where hair removal stones come in, claiming to remove leg hair and leave your legs feeling silky smooth without all the hassle of shaving foam, strawberry legs and ingrown hairs in between. Thanks, TikTok.

　　It all started with @mybleame sharing their now-viral video about inventing its Bleame Hair Removal Stone. Its fair to say that people were intrigued, and it wasnt long before different types of hair removal stones were popping up all over TikTok and Amazon, and even Sephora. Bleame claims that theirs is the first of its kind, with a crystal base that shaves and exfoliates all at once. Could it be that the hair removal stone offers a shave as clean as the best epilators? And are hair removal stones all that theyve cracked up to be? We investigate.

It only seems fair that we take a look at the reviews from Bleames Crystal Hair Eraser, AKA the original viral hair removal stone, as well as some reviews from the highest-rated Crystal Hair Eraser on Amazon. That way, we know what were looking for here when it comes to a positive hair removal stone experience.

　　For the Bleame Crystal Hair Eraser, one customer wrote, You guys. When I tell you Im obsessed... this is probably my favourite thing Ive bought in a long, long, long time. I HATE shaving, as my skin is very sensitive and I always get razor bumps and ingrown hairs, not to mention nicking my skin at least once every time. I wasnt sure it would work that well for me - BUT!!! My legs feel AMAZING. I love this thing so, so much.

　　For Amazons highest-rated Crystal Hair Eraser, one shopper reviewed, I dont often spend money on myself. And I dont often write reviews. I took a chance on this product, as Id heard good things, and three young children dont give me much time to shave! I have fine hair, but a lot of it. This did both legs in less than 5 minutes. Only mild redness from rubbing, which was gone within minutes. All hair is gone. Cant believe I didnt buy this years ago.

　　What do negative reviews say? However, as with most skincare tools, what works for some wont work for all. Since the viral fuss has died down, there have been a number of negative reviews making their way to these listings. Weve taken a look at the Bleame brand Crystal Hair Eraser as well as the Amazon Crystal Hair Eraser.

　　It was harder to find a straight-up negative review at Bleame, but we managed to find one. A customer at Bleame wrote, Having read the glowing reviews, I was hoping for something amazing - and while its not quite perfect, its still a great option. Its nowhere near as quick as shaving and doesnt work brilliantly on ankles/knees etc. - anywhere that isnt flat. Definitely better on shorter hair as well. But So far, Im sticking with it.

　　A customer at Amazon wrote, It will remove hair, but it leaves skin pretty raw and itchy even when a lotion is applied straight after and daily. Hair grows back fast as with shaving but if you repeat the process that often you will remove all your skin. Could work for someone with a few thin hairs.

　　Our verdict Some users have reported uncomfortable grazing, itching and redness, so its worth approaching this tool with caution, doing a patch test, and refraining from use if your skin reacts badly. Whats more, wed advise against using this type of tool on your face, bikini area, and underarms - even some of the best hair removal tools arent suitable for use on such sensitive areas.

　　But, its no surprise that its gone viral when it really does work - and efficiently so. If youre looking for a new way to get rid of your hairs without the faff of waxing or the pain of exfoliation, this may be the new one for you.

　　Hair removal stone FAQs How do hair removal stones work? Responding to the comment How does it work???, Bleames account replied that its hair removal stone uses Nano-Crystalline technology that makes the hairs clump and break from the surface. This also apparently prevents razor bumps and ingrown hairs that cant even be avoided by the best womens razors. Of course, its idea has been replicated by many different companies now, so they all use this same revolutionary technology.

　　Where did hair removal stones come from? Indeed, there have been many a-hair-removal-stone like this in the past, but they were mostly composed of sandpaper which... we dont even want to think about. But with a crystal base, shaving using this stone is supposedly pain-free. Looking back over time, women in the 1930s DIYed depilation with pumice stones, an ancient technique from our female ancestors. Now, of course, we have Amazon and pain-free IPL hair removal devices - so, thankfully, we have to do less of the DIY stuff.
