Epliators - good or bad?

Hello ladies

I'm new to this board really, but you all seem so knowledgable I thought you may be able to advise on whether epilators are worth it? Do they get a good result? Easy to use etc?

I don't have any in mind in particular, just a general idea to maybe put one on my Xmas list.

Cheers ladies

  • i bought one earlier this year and they are effective, just take longer than shaving so mine is used intermittently :rotfl:
    it does give comparable results for waxing but i find that i do have to go over the same spot more than once to ensure i pick up every hair

    HTH :) x

    Good but somewhat time consuming!

    I bought an emjoi epilator about ten years ago, it was the most painful thing ive ever done!
    A friend uses hers all the time and it doesnt affect her but for me it really is a sickening pain. Ive often thought maybe its a faulty epilator or just that it doesnt agree with me but it was so expensive at the time that I wouldnt throw it and id never buy another one.
    I stick to waxing now.
