Account of an Epilator Virgin

I've never used an Epilator, but I did use an Epilady many years ago. It yanks out your hair by the roots. Is that what an Epilator does? If so, I can surely empathize with you! Yep, it hurt! You're legs will get smooth soon, but right after using it the hair follicles are irritated and swell a bit. After time, it will get better. But I used to pluck some of them because the Epilady didn't get the tiny little hairs. I started plucking if a few hairs were growing faster than others. (It hurt a lot less than that Epilady!) After awhile, I noticed some of the hairs weren't growing back anymore. I was so encouraged! Now, all I have are a stray hair or two that grow back. It's so lovely not to have to shave. Armpit hair? Can't say I tried that. It was painful enough on my legs! LOL

I've never used an epilator it just looks too painful, I have had my legs waxed before but that pulls out more hair at once so must logically be less painful for the amount of time. It doesn't sound as painful as I thought it would be though I may try it, I'd just hate to buy one then find it's too painful to use and have wasted my money.

LOL ladies. So sorry for laughing. You both have alot of guts to try that. Me, I am a wimp with a capitol 'W', lol Bought myself a waxing kit once though. Actually I think it was a gifr, I have tried very hard to block those memories Used it on my legs, never finished and can still feel the pain. I go to the beauty salon once a month now to get my eye brows waxed by a professional and use plain old razors on my legs and arm pits and sometimes bakini line. Wish there was a better way that wasn't painful. The cream hair removers are literally 'for the birds'!

Oh my god that sounds horrible. Well you just made my decision on the subject for me, I will notbe buying one of those things. I just use a regular razor. I would rather have to shave my legs everyday then rip the hair out of them every week, thanks.

I have an epilator and my experiences sound just like yours, idont find it too painfull on my legs and you quickly get used to it, i have the braun silk epil one and it comes with a ice pack that you put in the freezer and put it on the skin before you epilate and i must admit it does help to numb the area and makes it a little more comfortable. I breifly tried it on my underarms and i would never even attempt it again that was just too much, i never tried it on my bikini line im a wimp lol! so i stick with shaving there and just use it on my legs lol

no i dont use it... i'll ask someone else to reply who uses it
