They look like electric shavers, but instead of just cutting the hair, it tweezes many hairs at once, ripping them out at the roots. This slows hair growth (like waxing) and the hair comes back thinner and thinner. It is semi-painful (I have a good pain tolerance though), but your skin gradually builds up a resistance to it (from what I have heard). I have only started using one and have already begun to see the positive effects. The coarse hair on my legs and underarms (after just one use) has already started coming in slower and thinner! Once you get past the initial pain of the first minute or so, it gradually begins to hurt less while you are finishing up. It is a cheaper (in the long run) alternative to waxing, though it does take a longer to finish. I tried using waxing kits on my own and there was no way I could do it myself - someone else needed to pull the strip off or I would soak it under water. I think this was more of a mental barrier than a physical one though. I am definitely going to continue using my epilator. I feel happy in knowing I'm actually benefiting myself in the long run, as opposed to shaving which will make the hair grow in faster each time it's used. There are also epilators.

I am definitely going to continue using my epilator. I feel happy in knowing I’m actually benefiting myself in the long run, as opposed to shaving which will make the hair grow in faster each time it’s used.
