(What's this?)
I tried this epilator after steering well clear of them for several years, having found them extreemly painful to use previously, but I thought that they may have improved over the years. And to be fair, I found this one to cause what I would consider an acceptable level of discomfort!!
The product itself is really well designed and I love the light on it. The only thing I would have liked would be a bit more flex length but that's just a minor thing.
Having done my legs I found the end result exceedingly good - and didn't find that I needed to go over the same area again and again which is a definite bonus!! I did, then wonder how well it would work on underarms and bikini line - considering the leg part wasn't too uncomfortable. BIG MISTAKE - although this is only my opinion - OMG this hurt, lots!
Having said that, I realise that pain thresholds are personal things and other people may find that they can tolerate hair removal in these, more deliate areas, perfectly well.
All in all I would have to say that I do like this piece of equipment and will continue to use it - but only on my legs! Maybe I'm just a wimp, who knows!!

(What's this?)
I'd never used an epilator before but having been a convert to waxing for some years now I thought I'd give this a go to see how it compared in the pain stakes.
I was pleasantly surprised. If you've only ever shaved before and have never had your legs waxed it may seem a lot more painful, but compared to waxing I actually found it surprisingly pain free to epilate my lower legs with this.
The reason I only gave the epilator four stars out of five was that I expected it to be cordless, i.e. only plugged in for recharging, but it does have to be used plugged in. This isn't a major issue though but would have made the product even better.
The epilator comes with optional attachments: a shaver head, a precision head in case you want to epilate very small areas, i.e. your upper lip, and an "efficient" head for faster epilating (I didn't need to use this).
It also comes with a cool gel pack, designed to be put in the freezer, which you can slip inside a soft glove to cool your skin before epilating. I think you'd need this if you'd never been waxed before but I didn't need it.
I tried the epilator in daylight but it has a handy "smart light" on it if you're epilating in the evening or poor light. The epilator has two speed settings, Optimal or Soft, and being a bit of a chicken I started with the "Soft" setting which is slightly slower. You place the epilator at a 90 degree angle to the area you're going to epilate, switch the epilator on, and move it slowly against the direction of hair growth (i.e. on your lower leg, you start near the ankle and move slowly upwards).
It's reasonably noisy but I really expected quite a painful experience and it really wasn't that bad; much more bearable than waxing and even less painful than plucking your eyebrows.
That said, I haven't yet been brave enough to try it on my bikini line but I'll try that another day!
After epilating my legs felt perfectly smooth with none of the redness associated with waxing so I'd definitely use this again. I was surprisingly impressed.

This product did not pull out the short and fine hairs as it promised, no matter how many times I went over the same area. In the end I had to shave as well. I continually had to stop and remove the plucked hairs from the tweezers to keep it working effectively, which meant the whole process took quite a while. And some of the hairs grew back quicker than expected, making me think that it breaks instead of plucks many of the hairs. Too much effort, too time consuming and a waste of money.
