I use my epilator on my legs, chest and tummy. The first time it hurt like nothing else I experienced, so I was only able to get through one part of the leg the first time. Yes I am a wimp

So I stopped that evening, and did another section the next day, and so on. Now I can do those areas in one sitting. At first it seem it didn't work very well, but remember hair grows in different stages. And I am now seeing that I don't have to use it as much. Just a touch up here and there in between when I do sit down do it all once.
Word of wisdom, I picked up from here, that I wish I read about before my epilating experience (I cannot remember who posted this bit). Shave a few a days before you use the epilator for the first time, and allow about 2 days growth. Gross I know. But on the day, soak in a warm tub for a while to soften the skin and open up the pores to help remove the hair." Make sure to do it at night, or you will be running around with red spots all over your legs. After I am done epilating, I usually go in a cool shower, and moisturizer the areas. Word of caution though: You may or may not get ingrown hairs, but you should expect them. So you definitely want to exfoliate on regular basis though. Other than that, once you get into the routine, it is definitely not as often as shaving everyday. Which definitely cut on the price of razors except for the face and underarms. Like I said, I am to wimpy so I wont touch the underarms. As for the face the beard is going away in a few months. I start that milestone in February/March next year

Hope that helps some.
