The Epilator...

Let me start off by saying that I was some what apprehensive to try this device.  Just turning the thing on and hearing the horrid noise that it made I wanted to put it back in the box and send it back to my mothers house.  So upon reading the directions I went on my way to try this out. I used the small guard like the directions suggested for small areas.

So this is the model that I used, and since its the first (and last) time that I ever used an epilator, I am not sure how this device works in comparison with others.  

First off let me start by saying I don't have very sensitive skin, but I do sometimes have issues when I wax, shave or pluck the hair on my face/neck.  Although after using this, I had so many bumps, and spots that I have never had with any other type of hair removal. 

Secondly this was VERY painful to me, I can wax my facial hair and neck hair with hardly even flinching, and even when I pluck the hair it hardly bothers me at all.  The whole time I used this I was grimacing in pain.

And lastly I found that this epilator broke the hair off at the skin which caused a lot of ingrown hairs, and stubble.  To me it just seemed to defeat the purpose.  

All in all I must say that I gladly returned this to my mom.  So many women love the results they get from an epilator, maybe my skin is just to sensitive, cause I didn't have the results I had hoped for.
