I know nothing about these epilator things.

However, as far as painful hair removal goes, a certain review from Amazon for Veet Hair Removal Cream is quite amusing...

I cracked. And may I commend to you all the OTHER reviews of Veet for Men. Just go to the loo first, and put your tea DOWN!

Regular usage on private parts and further south develops flexibility:P.

I've read few. Absolutely hilarious!
When I was a teen I bought one which was spray on foam and to do the skin test I sprayed my older brother's leg. Just one small circle. I don't recommend it, when he woke up he nearly killed me. It worked great though! (Unfortunately for him).
I have epilator passed down to me from my sister. I only use it on the legs, it hurts a little but nothing too serious. Nowhere else though. I go for bikini wax before every holiday and they laugh at me (nicely though, they are not mean) because I hate it!! They always say 'do you want to take some off from the top?' My face says it all I think. Can you see it there when you are wearing bikini? No! So why go through the extra torture!!
My epilator is one to to use only dry. I want the Phillips one you can use in the bath!!

It's probably something I won't do but there's a niggling little part of me... the self-destructive part no doubt... that really wants to give it a go on the basis that it can't be that bad, right?

You are all braver than me (and I'd like to point out I've had numerous orthopaedic operations and delivered my youngest with no pain relief!) I bought one about 4 years ago, popped the little ice packs in the freezer, put the epilator back in the box and never opened it again!!! I did get a bikini wax once and was left with bruising all along my groin that actually looked like love bites - I had some explaining to do with DH after that one!

I happily epilate, but draw the line well before bikini waxes.

Somehow, I don't reckon the idea of having my pubic hair ripped out at the roots by hot molten wax is as much fun as it sounds.

I also don't quite see the point - it's covered, that's what pants / bikini bottoms / swimming costumes are for, to cover it!
