Title: Epilator suggestions?
Post by: Shodan on September 20, 2013, 12:54:05 AM
Hey, ladies.

I'm in the market to get a decent Epilator. I need something that is going to be able to remove a lot of coarse hair from... Well... Almost every square inch of my body and not break down on me after three months.

Suggestions?

If the hair is thick enough ...

Check my thread a couple down. I purchased both the emjoi emagine and the Braun silk epil 7. The Braun worked better and has more features. Both were similarly priced at 80 for the emjoi and 70 for the Braun.

Also if your hair is super thick, I would suggest starting with waxing, sugaring, or even nair (shaving sucks, I tried it, not fun). Then use the epilator on regrowth. At the very least, use clippers on the fully grown body hair to get it down to a few millimeters before using the epilator.

My Braun model does the job, but I have nothing to compare it to. It does leave the occasional hair behind that it can't seem to pull up.
