Ans: An epilator removes hair from the root through the rotation of its tweezers. Hence, epilating is a painful process and hurts you. So, the shorter the hair, the less pain you are going to feel. Just like waxing, it will pinch the first time. But after a few sessions, it will be normal. You will get used to the pain and will no longer find any discomfort.  Here is what you can do to minimize the pain during epilating: * Always take a shower before you start the epilating process. This will open up the skin pores and soften the skin. * Exfoliate your skin to remove dead cells and to make the skin less oily. It reduces the risk of getting ingrown hair.  * Use either a scrub or an exfoliating glove to exfoliate the body. * Hold the skin taut while epilating. It will reduce the pain. Use one hand to hold the device, while using another one to hold the skin taut. * A few models of epilators come with different speed settings. Always start on a low setting and then increase the speed gradually to see what you can tolerate. * Choose a wet and dry model epilator. You can use it while taking a bath/under the shower. * Also, choose an epilator with a higher number of tweezers to reduce the epilation pain. It reduces the number of passes, and thereby reduces the duration of using an epilator. * Finally, apply moisturizer to soothe the skin each time after epilation.
