Epilators

[jomama]

Hi Ladies

I keep toying with the idea of buying an Epilator - haven't used one for about 10 years (because it hurt so much ) but time these days is short and haven't got time to keep shaving the old legs so was wondering does anyone use them, if you do does it hurt a lot - tis only going to be done on my legs, I am not brave enough to do anywhere else .

I have done a bit of research on the t'internet and and they seem a bit £££ so don't want to waste my money if I can avoid it .

Any advice welcome

Hello!

They are sooooooooo much better than they were!

Plus once you start using them you kinda get used to the pain!

I use one for my legs & they are fab!

An up-to-date one would be even more pain-free!

Look on the reviews at Amazon.

HTH!

Any luck?

Hi Judy

I did have a look ta - the Braun Silk-epil gets good reviews on Amazon. There were about 60+ plus reviews and it got 4.5 stars (I think) and most people seemed really pleased with it, which seems good to me.

I just need to bite the bullet now and get one ordered .

Thanks again for your help.

Sounds good to me, I was looking at that one, but would just be extravagant

as I have one..............that's a good lot of reviews!

Happy hair removing!

Let us know how you get on, had an evil one over 20 years ago which worked well but hurt like hell.

Did you bite the bullet and buy one? I too have the silk epil and also had one many moons ago. I find the bit on my knees really painful and often still shave just my knees but the rest of my leg is fine.

Tip I was told when I first went back to one was to shave my legs first and then start to use the epilator a couple of days later so it only picked up one hair at a time. Shorter hairs seem to be less painful although that could be in my head only!

I have used it under arm but that really hurt a lot as the skin was not as taught and it sometimes caughty the skin up too.

I do love the fact that to do my legs now is once every four or so days and done in minutes
