Review (5/5): Best Hair Removal Experience EVER
I have tried and owned it all: razors, electric razor, the original Epilady back more than 25 years ago, the Smooth Away system, Nair, and a really nice hot wax kit. I am very sensitive to pain, but my desire to be done with hassling with hair and mess overrode that. I expected less from this epilator than it has delivered. Yes, there is what I would call discomfort with the first and most ambitious hair removal, but I suggest that you do use the "massaging" head with it. That DOES work for a first timer. I now prefer the regular attachment for efficiency, but the massager is great on the remaining sensitive areas. I am flabbergasted at how many hairs it finds. A GREAT feature is the "Smart Light" that shows me the tiniest hairs. Very satisfying to watch them disappear as the epilator goes over them. It is also a very easy to clean device! I ran out of hairs to epilate (got a little addicted to the perfection of the process), so am now waiting it out. I have had smooth, smooth legs for DAYS. Worth every cent of the 119 dollars I spent. (Note: I've not tried it in the shower yet, as I'm happy about being able to set out a towel and watch tv and have a snack while I do this thing. You are not trapped in the bathroom.)
Tips: If some hairs are shorter than 2 mm and just can't get picked up, they are not visible in any case. Wait a day, and the epilator will get them. DO exfoliate. I recommend the "bath gloves" that you can get at the grocery store, but the Body Shop has terrific exfoliating bath gloves. If a hair is stubbornly being missed, be sure to stretch the skin tight right at that area, and try again.
