Rec your epilator!

[amandasw]

I think I'd like to do this since it seems like it's easier to do more frequently than waxing (less hassle/mess). Is there a good brand out there? Did you buy it online (amazon, ebay etc) or in a store? thanks!

I use this one from Sephora and I LOVE it!

I use the same one bimbi posted. I think you can find it cheaper at Ulta... I didn't realize this until after I bought mine from sephora.

Hmm...not seeing it on the Ulta website. I've also seen it on Amazon, but its WAY more expensive there.

Really? I saw it in my local store. Maybe they don't have it online?

That's very possible!

I think this is the one I have, but I didn't pay that much:

www.amazon.com/Braun-3170-Silk-Epil-Epilator/dp/B004QI2794/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1341793224&sr=8-4&keywords=braun+epilator

Great for legs and underarms.

thanks for the rec bimbi - any thoughts on why the recent reviews are so bad? It's weird because it got a 4 star overall, but when you look at the reviews there's a bunch of 1 and 2 star comments.

ETA: also, do you use it on your legs etc? or is the head too small and better for just the bikini area?

No idea! I really like mine and have had it for a few years now. It still works just as well as it did the first day I got it! The only issue I have is forgetting to charge it haha. I can definitely get about 3-4 uses out of it (bikini line, and trimming) per full-charge though.

I only really use it on my bikini line, as I'm scared to try it anywhere else haha.

IDK! I feel like it hurts more on the leg than the bikini. I tried when I first got it to do like 1 hair and it really hurt, lol. I should actually try it again and see, but I'm fine with shaving my legs when I need to.

On my bikini line, it is completely gone for about a week, and then I start getting some stubble/finer hairs start to pop up, but its a quick fix to maintain.

waxing legs is definitely a much different kind of pain IMO - more of a burning sensation, although I'm getting used to it. My sister and I learned how to make wax with honey (and an old sheet we ripped up) so we do that to each other, but I was thinking we could get an epilator and it would be even easier/less messy. Plus then I could do a more thorough bikini on myself

Yeah, I've never had anything waxed, so I'm just not used to that sensation, lol. I'm sure since you've been waxing awhile it may not be as painful for you. The bikini line doesn't bug me at all anymore.
