epilator

[veritymoon]

my boyfriend just bought me an epilator thinking it was a normal ladys razor, anyway i decided to try and b***** h*** it hurts!

does it get better the more you use it? its a philips one that comes with a part that you put in the freezer which says it helps soothe and make less painfull

Stick with it. They are brilliant. Not sure how well the freezer things work though - probably more hassle than they are worth.

It definitely gets better the more you use it. As your hairs grow back finer it doesn't hurt as much when they're pulled out. It's also way better for your legs. Not sure how old you are but when you're older you'll notice a difference through using this instead of a razor.

I use the satin ice too. The ice pack does help the first few times you use it but you will find after 2/3 goes with it that you wont need that anymore. Stick with it, you will realise how easy and hassle free they are and it lasts for weeks. Just be sure to keep exfoliating

I've used epilators for the past... twenty years. It was only painful the first few times, so stick with it and you won't regret it!

It's definitely less painful on shorter hairs. I do my legs every three days to catch the small amount of regrowth coming through. It only takes a few minutes and keeps my legs virtually hair-free!

The results do not last for weeks as it says on the box but it's a much better result than shaving.

I have used an Epilady for 16yrs and now use a Phillips. Yes it does hurt for quite a while esp. round the knee area, but I wouldn't change to anything else. Keep with it, they are very convenient and you can used at will without waiting for a waxing appointment. I don't use them on the bikini area. Mine last for about 3 weeks, but remember that there are 2 or 3 hairs growing from the same follicle so if you epliate one then the others will still grow. Eventually the hairs will get much sparser. Brilliant invention.

Thats interesting netibiza, I wondered why mine never lasted for weeks!

jelly-baby I have to admit that the hairs on my legs were always quite fine, maybe that is why thay didn't show for 3 weeks. Living here in Spain obviously I had to be hair free as couldn't go round wearing tights in the summer.
