Three months ago I decided that I would never shave again as I was sick of the stubble and the fact that you only stay really really smooth for a few hours. I decided to wax but I found it too messy and got sick of having grow my hair so it was long enough for he wax to stick to.
General info
I brought mine on special offer from Argos at the bargain price of Ģ19.99 which is brilliant when you consider the cost of razor blades and home waxing kits. It normally retails at Ģ34.99 there and Ģ39.99 at Boots.
It has 2 speeds, one slow speed for more sensitive areas and one faster speed for less sensitive areas like the legs. It can be used corded or cordless and will last an hour with a 16 hour charge. As it is impossible to over-charge its quite safe to leave it pugged in all the time so its always ready when you need it, although they do suggest unplugging it if you're not going to use it for an extended period (2-3 months)It features
16 tweezers to remove hair quickly and effectively
Hair guides to ensure hair is removed from the root to minimise pain & increase effectiveness
A curved tweezer barrel that mirrors the form of the body
2 speeds with slower option for sensitive areas
Massaging skin stretchers reduce pain
What its like to useAs I had never eplilated before I was very apprehensive about the pain. I put it on its slowest speed and was amazed that I barely felt anything, only the tiniest pin pricking sensation. So I turned it up and it still didn't hurt at all so I did my whole legs. It took me about 40 minutes to do both but bare in mind it was my first time so it took me a while to get the hang of it. I think it will be a lot quicker the next time I do it.
I also braved my bikini line on the slowest speed and of course, this was more uncomfortable than my legs but it was nowhere near as painful as a bikini wax. I did not try my arm pits as the skins quite loose there and I was scared it would get stuck in the revolving head. Yuk! Bear in mind that I have been waxing for a few months so my hair was finer. It might be a bit more painful if you have always shaved.
The only downside side is how noisy it is. I couldn't believe that so much noise could come out of such a small thing.
The results
The results were fantastic! They got every little hair (unlike waxing) and my legs were only a little red afterwards. However I am not prone to blotchy legs so if you are and have pale skin you will probably go a lot redder.
Tips
As with all hair removal treatments that pull hair from the root, epilators can cause in growing hairs so make sure you exfoiliate regularly to help prevent them
It leaves your legs a little bit red so its probably best to do it the day before a big night out if you have pale skin.
Use in a circular motion as this gets the hairs out more effectively.
After trying waxing and shaving eplilation is definitely the best method of hair removal for me. I would recommend this product wholeheartedly as its great value for money, even at its normal retail price.
