Orthodontic visits nearly did me in. I could not manage a monthly threading appointment for my teen between all their other (and their siblings stuff) going on after school and on weekends. I’d pay for it though, if they were driving

This is just an electric razor. Your child is shaving her mustache with this "wand". Use sugar or wax, or take her to get threaded monthly, OP. It's worth it and it doesn't grow back as quickly as shaving.

I used to think this. But DD uses it now and it does not create any shadow etc. it’s totally fine with fine hair.

You used to think it was a razor but now you don't? It's still a razor.

I used to think it would give her like a man’s stubble and it definitely hasn’t. But you knew what I meant.

I agree. I used to take my DD to be waxed but she hated it. She started using a literally razor (like a basic Gillette) and has for years. It does not give stubble at all. I was worried at first but it works great and she really doesn’t do it that often.

It is very expensive, very slow, as in maybe 12 sessions are needed, and can leave scabs and sores behind with each session. They heal, but still, for a teen that is undesirable

Try Sugaring, I use a kit for myself and will probably either use it or take my daughter to get threaded when she needs it.

I personally (my opinion you do you) don't think young girls should shave. Hair grows quickly and you can go longer between treatments if you pull it from the root as opposed to cutting it off at the skin, plus if you shave it, it's all growing back at the same time, that's why men have stubble/5 o'clock shadows, but if you pull it from the root, it grows back at different times/speeds.
