Epilady Speed Corded Epilator for Women | Compact Hair Removal Device for Arms, Legs, Underarms & Bikini Area, Epilators Hair Removal for Women

Effecve and not as painful as rumored to be
I’m so happy to have an epilator again! I’m of Southern European/Mediterranean extraction, so hair on my legs and underarms grows quite thick and course. I have to shave my legs every morning, and sometime if I go out in the evening I’ll shave a second time. I first started using an epilator in my first year of law school at the age of 23, and I continued doing so for about ten years. Then about two years ago, I moved to London for a few months. I went to plug in my old, trusty Epilady, using what I thought was a safe adaptor, and it got completely fried. I put off buying a new one because of the unfavorable exchange rate, and then by the time I returned to the U.S. I had grown accustomed to the routine of shaving. It was out of sight, out of mind. Then about two months ago I actually sat down and calculated how much I was spending on overpriced razor catridges, and I decided that an Epilady was a much better investment. I started this time with this inexpensive model because I wasn’t sure I would be able to become re-accustomed to the pain. It was a needless concern, since I find using it to be almost painless. For the record, when I first started using an epilator at the age of 23, it was very painful and took a lot of getting used to, but eventually I adjusted and only felt mild discomfort in some more sensitive areas. I used this particular epilator for the first time a couple of weeks ago, and it was as if I had never stopped using one. I felt a slight prickling in some areas, and around my ankles I had to go very slowly, but on large swathes of skin I just went over it quickly in a circular pattern, and my skin felt numbed. It removed all the hair, and almost two weeks later I still haven’t needed a touch-up. If using this for the first time, remember to do so immediately after you’ve soaked in a bath or the shower, and then hold the skin taut in areas that you find painful. Change the angle frequently or move the device in a circular pattern, since hair often grows in different directions. Most of all, I can’t emphasize enough that, regardless of whether you’re a novice with an epilator or an old pro, it’s much less painful to use it after you’ve soaked in a bath or shower! It makes a world of difference.I’m able to use this on my legs, underarms and bikini area (if using this in a sensitive area, remember to use the guard and hold skin taut!), but I have no need to use it on my face or arms, so I can’t really say how well it works on those areas of the body.I had my other, more expensive model for almost a decade before it met a catastrophic end due to a bad electrical adaptor, but I’ve only had this one for a few weeks. So far the quality seems okay, and it certainly does the job, but I don’t know how long it will last. For the price, however, it will be worth it even if I only get a few months out of it. It does come with a 1-year warranty. Overall, much less expensive than buying replacement razor cartridges, and much, much more effective.

GREAT FIRST EPILATOR – HIGHLY RECOMMEND FOR NEWBIES
Excellent product. This is my first epilator and I had so many questions when I was researching and shopping so I wanted to share a few thoughts on this zero-waste option as a beginner for anyone else on the same road. This little beast gets the job done. I highly recommend.ABOUT ME :I have thick black hair from scalp to sole and deathly pale caucasian skin; after growing to about a third an inch, this guy ate them up.PAIN: Yes it hurts: the same amount as waxing just a little more prolonged. You do get use to it, and for me it became almost relaxing after a few uses. On legs and arms it’s more of a warmth with occasionally sting. On the face and pubic area it’s a bit like lots of little harsh yanks, with a little heat and pinch. For me, the underarms are the most intense and “painful”.PRODUCT DETAILS: It makes similar noise to an iPhone vibrating really hard on gravel. The casing and wire feels flimsy in the hand but they’re holding up very well. PRETTY PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND DON’T BUY A BATTERY OPERATED.USE TIPS: I’m still learning but I’ve found that using it like an ultrasound wand on legs (straight up and down perpendicular to skin, in small slow circles) and like a straight razor (slow swipes going with the contours of jaw cheeks neck and chin) on the face work best.CONS: It does take several passes to get all the hair; I’ve had small amounts of breakage where the hair gets cut but not pulled out and leaves the unsightly little black dot under the skin.After a nasty struggle with androgen-secreting tumors, I’ve been looking for a magic solution to my full lady beard and body hair and this product is my miracle find.(Note: the only reason I’ve given four stars instead of five, is because I believe that a slightly pricier more deluxe version from this same Epilady brand might be better for people with a larger budget or more experience.)

I had the very first epilady back in the late 80’s and they have come a long way. Minimal pulling and pain with this one, I use it everywhere. Even gets out the short hairs

I had my previous Epilady for nearly 30 years and was desolate when it finally gave up the ghost. Not having bothered to check during all that time (why would I?) I was delighted to find that Epilladys were still available and immediately ordered a new one, which I have been using happily for nearly a year. Would definitely recommend this item, and look forward to using it for another 30 years!
