my first experience with epilator
till i was in india, body hair removal was not a concern. all i needed was to visit a beauty salon and shell out around Rs. 150 (or $3, unbelievable right?) for waxing of legs, arms and underarms. but after coming to US hair removal became an issue as professional waxing is hell costly. I tried to do it at home with ready to use wax strips, which are okay to use on legs, but one can not use them efficiently for arms plus you end up in a sticky mess. then i tried shaving. shaving gives a smooth effect to skin but for only a few hours and it also started causing irritation to my underarms may be because of the coarse stubs of hair.<br />finally i decided to buy epilator and instantly liked the Braun's wet & dry one as it's cordless and can be used in shower. with a pleasant surprise the product reached me within three days of placing order (my first ever purchase with amazon and i instantly fall in love with amazon).<br /><br />i never used an epilator before and was a bit scared as according to some reviews the process hurts. i decided to use it in shower with the pivoting cap, though i did not use the pre epilation wipes it came with(the pack is still unopened). for the initial 1-2 min it actually felt a bit painful but eventually my skin adapted to the pinching sensation.  the most difficult part was to use it for underarms. it was so painful that i had to run cold water (and it really helps to subsidize the pain)after every few seconds of epilation, but this is just the first time. if you can brave that you definitely going to fall in love with epilating ur under arms. it's better than waxing as u don't need to wait for all the hair to grow up to a certain length and even a single visible hair can be removed just whenevr you want. after one month of use i have notice that my under arm hair looks thinner and softer, so it hardly hurts during removal. also it's equally effective for bikini line.<br />the product is really compact, handy and one can use it just anywhere anytime. the battery back up is more than enough to complete your job in one go. i found the spot light really helpful as it makes even the smallest of hair noticeable, if you want a quick epilation better to use it without the pivotal head and use it dry.<br /><br />my suggestion would be go for it and simply forget all the hassles and cost associated with waxing or irritation of shaving.
