MrsE - Fancy a try together?

The suspense is killing me! Hurry up lol. I used one once, started t my ankle hurt like hell didnt even get to the knee! Packed it back up and headed for the razor hahaha. Though I shall wait for your review and may be persuaded to purchase as I too have dark course hair and I'm sick to the back teeth of shaving, and since October shaving has left me with incredibly itchy skin as it regrows. Good luck merlin - you can do it!

My sister got given an epilator by her friend who'd been given it for a Christmas present, her friend used it once and passed it onto my sister who also used it once and passed it onto me. I used it once, thought 'f*ck that' and passed it onto someone else.

It's probably still out there doing the rounds. :rotfl:

I really like waxing, it was much less painful than the epilator but you've got to let your hairs grow so much before waxing l don't see the point. I just shave every other day.

Just had a look at your epilator it's really cute!!! And best of all you can use it in the shower, you could turn up the heat in your shower, the hotter he better (don't scald yourself though) and the steam and eat will open your pores and hopefully won't hurt too much

I have one. I don't use it on intimate areas, because I don't regard hairlessness there as something I want.

I use it after a nice warm bath, on legs and underarms.

I found it a bit uncomfortable the first few times, and now it sort of tickles a bit, rather than hurts.

A few days after you've used it on your lower legs, rub with a shower mitt or other form of exfoliator, and then you don't get any ingrowing hairs.

I need to do it about once a month on my legs, and a bit more often underarm, maybe once every 2-3 weeks.

I don't know if it makes a difference, but I have very fair, fine head hair, and my underarm hair is dark blonde, as is the part of my leg hair which isn't white. Maybe that makes it easier?
