Does anybody know if Epilators work when removing unwanted hair? Face, Legs, Under arms etc? You know those electronic ones..

Arghhhh Body hair should be ILLEGAL YUCK!

I can't wax, I did yesterday and OMG I have these ugly inflammation all over my body.
Shaving - Well I don't like that either..

ok my first hair removal experience was using an epilady and it fucking hurt so much that i couldnt bare the pain so i shaved the other leg
waxing is the best but for me waxing is a big job
i need to have a day assigned to waxing..so i can make the wax and be bothered to do it etc...

They HURT like bloody hell!

I cannot stand the pain!

I thought if you got your legs waxed the inflammation went down after a day or so?
Maybe there is a cream you can buy to treat it?

I'd rather waxing; the pain doesn't last as long, and it FASTER!

I dont wax my legs i shave them mostly cuz i cant stand the pain, but i do wax my bikini line. I use hair removal cream on my underarms becuase shaving tends to give me ingrown airs
you can't stand the pain of waxing your legs, but you can stand your bikini line being done?

and i find that none of those hair removal creams work on me at all...

ok...from my personal experience/stories of friends

*epilators hurt like all hell, and take forever to do some small patch (and would leave hell inflamation)
*waxing, yes, causes a rash, but goes down quickly, not all that painful.
*hair removal creams stink like all fuck and only last as long as shaving as they're just burning the hair off at skin level, not yanking it out by the roots
*shaving is quick/painless but grows back really quickly and appears more course because of the hair being cut off blunt. Also leaves a nasty rash (hell prickly) if its done in the pubic region.

if you're worried about pain the DO NOT EPILATE! it is by far the most painful...each hair is being pulled out by the roots. i have been epilating my underarms for 3 years, and although it hurts like all hell, it is totally worth it for me, because my underarm hairs are now blonde and fine and i only have to do it once a month or so.

Waxing is the best option for most people, i wax my legs and bikini line and treat myself to a brazilian once in a while. Most people get inflamed skin afterwards, because the hair is being ripped out en masse, especially in the pubic region, where the hair is thicker, but if you get a rash, you probably shouldn't wax, or ask for the sensitive wax.

All waxing imho should be done at a salon. they can do it better than you, its what they're trained at.

There is nothing wrong with shaving if ur willing to keep it up.

Creams are just plain gross, i would never use them because of the way they smell, and its also chemicals that are eating away at ur hair, and that can't be good for you.

Lazer hair removal hurts. Expecially afterwards. It feels like your skin is burning. Its worth it but it still hurts and its expensive.

If you want to wax, its better to get it done by a professional cause they know exactly how to do it and it doesnt hurt nearly as much

Yeah it does hurt lol but its worth it. Apparently for underarms, bikini and legs its going to cost me a few hundred dollars. I don't care Body hair should be illegal.

yeah but i thought laser treatment took multiple treatments? like it'll cost you a few hundred the first time... but you have to do it multiple times. plus your skin becomes super sensitive, you have to avoid the sun for weeks and if you scratch your skin it will scar and tear. that's what i heard from someone who's had it done. they won't do it again.
