Do one strand at a time, it's relaxing.

Yeah, I wanted to get waxed. It doesn't itch if you wax it, does it?

So far I've only shaved...kinda irritating.

Cremes don't do the job.

Shave with conditonar!

Waxing stings for a second, but it quickly becomes numb...at least in my experience.

It stays smoother longer, I don't get ingrown hairs when I do it, and it doesn't itch.

Don't you have to let it grow in before you can have it redone though?

Yeah that's what I heard. Not cool.
But better than itching.
Think I'll try it.
Get my boo piece to pay for it. $45 a pop...I'm broke.

1/4"-1/2" inch.

It does for me.  I have ultra sensative skin.  And it makes me smooth.

Eek. That's even longer than I thought.

There's a reason why the Epilator sounds like a doomsday device from a bad sci-fi novel...  it's a freakin' torture device.

My wife bought one and the trial run went something like this...

"Ow...   DAMN....   grrrr...  AAAHHHRRGG!"  This was followed up by a sound that was probably akin to that of a tortured wild animal.

Poor lady! I hope you kissed it and made it better...

-apply warm water to the skin for a few minutes
-bring the hair up with sterile tweezers, don't pluck it
-wash the area
-apply an antiseptic. some use witch hazel, tea tree oil, etc.

I'm sorry. I couldn't help it.

But really, I'm thinking about buying an epilator. I'm sick of shaving (not just the hoo-ha... legs, arm pits, the whole nine) aaanyway, they're like 70 dollars, so I wanted to make sure I'm not throwing my money away before I buy one.

Any ladies (or gentlemen) use these gadjets before? Worth the money? Effective? Painful? Any particular brands you recommend?

Thanks!

there are special electric razors thatwork really well isnt the epilator the one that is like a coil and it vibrates and pulls hair our one by one?.. if it is they effing hurt! my mom had one... they are mean


iwould suggest waxing though.  it hurts a bit but a lot less of the hair grows back
