Epilator for hair removal- advice
Jump to: Newest in thread
Hi all, i have been getting waxed for a long time now but tbh the constsnt waiting for the hair to be long enough and not shaving etc is annoying... Along with the monthly cost....
Do many on here use epilators? I use to use one so know the deal, just wondering who does and what one they use?
Recommendations would be lovely xx

"I get sugared. I find it better than wax and lasts much longer and hair comes back finer. Epilators too painful for me lol"
Not sure sugaring would do me my hair is quite thick before waxing  i stopped epilating because of the pain but my hair has gor thinner after lots of waxing so worth another shot |

I use Braun Silk-epil 9 Skin Spa and would absolutely recommend it. It has a number of extras including a shaver which I only use on labia as its too sensitive for epilator and hurts like hell)))) but use it everywhere else. Lasts up to a week if not more, and no ingrown hair if exfoliating extras are used regularly. |

Ohhh perfect, i'm sure it was a Braun i use to use way back when- i will look into the 9 skin spa version, being able to use in the shower too is dead handy- thanks a lot x |

I’ve epilated for years with the same machine I got given my a mate who only tried it once.
Bits I found painful (tops of feet, front of knees) now don’t hurt much at all and the hair on my legs is much finer which is a miracle because I have many hairs growing from one follicle.
I love mine. It’s fast, clean and so much easier than any other method, and it lasts longer.
The only possible downside is that legs are not as smooth as if razored because that layer of skin isn’t being scraped over. A dry brush and moisturiser usually cures that. |

"Depends where you epilate and how high your pain threshold is!!
I get someone to wax my bikini, and epilate my legs...
It’s too easy to stop if you do it yourself and it hurts!!"
About the only bit out of reach is my butt i think i just remember how long it took to epilate before but i definitely wanna retry x |

Great tips, i am the same as you- many hairs from some of my follicles, i remember how painful the fron of the knees are but your body looks lovely and smooth i think i need to give it a retry.
Ohhhh what about washing the machine? Do you use alchol or just give it a good wash with soap after use? |

I’m very bad at remembering to wash the heads but soapy water and a toothbrush is what I use. |

I used to epilate but last September I splashed out on a Tria 4X laser. So happy with the results, my forearms have been hairless for nearly 2 months now after more than 10 rounds with it. It'll take a long time to do my whole body but eventually I'll only need to shave around my bits and nips.
Well worth the investment. |

I've used an epilator for around 28 years, & only on my 2nd in all that time. Initially only used it for my legs, but started using on my pubic area about 6 years ago & now completely hair free. Was agony to start with, but not painful at all now, & I think the effect/feeling is fantastic & smooth.
Love the sound of the 1 you can use in the shower too. Will need to look into that.

I invested in a decent laser hair removal device... the Phillips one that is ment to be the best for home hair removal.... not one of the cheap naff things.
And I can honestly say it’s amazing.
You shave first (only works if you shave, doesn’t work with waxing.) then zap with the device and it stops the hair from growing back quickly. Defiantly takes longer to grow back each time. After a few treatments you can go a couple of months without having to do anything.... it really is amazing. |

It's like a big sticky ball of sugar .its warmed slightly and they spread on and rip off. I'm a woose so find waxing to painful especially in the very delicate areas lol but sugaring is much less painful, lasts longer and hairs come back really fine the more you do it. Trouble is finding a salon that does it lol  |

I finally cracked out the epilator and it went well after my many months of waxing to help thin my hair growth! My upper legs did take ages though
Aloe vera afterwards all over and i feel lovely and smooth again, woop woop! |

"I bought a product called magic powder which you add water to to make a paste. It worked very well and was delicate around my sensitive areas
How long does it last?"
About same as using Veet. Downside is it smells like rotten eggs when using it! |

I use this too. The secret is to epilate daily. If you do that it’s really quick and keeps hair growth at bay x |
