Using an epilator to get rid of body hair.

Knowing very well that I am sensitive to pain, I bought an epilator on Amazon for 50 dollars because I also knew that I'm too lazy to shave everyday.
it does hurt, but it is really not that bad. It helps to take an aspirin or two about a half hour before to feel less pain. But I rally don't know anyone else who has one, nor do I really feel that I could recommend it to anyone- it takes a little determination, and sometimes I don't feel like doing it.
The epilator works pretty well on the armpits, and gets pretty smooth. But it doesn't really make the legs that smooth, possibly because the hair is finer and a little longer. Sometimes I use a combination of shaving and depilating, so it is smooth as well as low maintenance. The backs of the legs hurt a lot more, though.

Ah, a girl who takes an aspirin an hour or two before the 'pain'. You are a rare breed and should be admired by us chaps who always get fobbed off with the, "I've got a headache" scenario!

I bought one on ebay for $3.00! It was from China and works perfectly fine. :/

An electronic one? I know they have very small ones for the face, but most of the ones for the legs and underarms are at elate 30 bucks.

I do believe they are bereft of body hair in China, so a pebble would probably do just as well :)
