philips satin ice optima epilator

[Carameli]

has anyone tried one of these? I just wondered if they were any good. They had a lady on This Morning try one and said it was great and not painful as the ice pack numbed the skin a bit.

Just looking for a different way rather than waxing.

Oooh yeah do they hurt? I want one!

Carameli I use an epilator without ice pack. It hurts but not that much once you have used it for a bit. Don?t mnd the pain myself but then dh says I am a masochist (must be, went though childbirth three times!)
It?s a good cheap way of defuzzing if you keep using it tho, no ongoing payouts like waxing or shaving.

thinking about it, ceratinly when I add up how much I spend waxing.

I use an ordinary Phillips epilator, & don't notice any pain as have used it for so long the hairs get really weak. Thinking of upgrading to the gold one as it does underarms & bikini area - not sure if I am brave enough though!

Last summer I went for a leg wax (first one) for a change & the lady thought it strange that I didn't flinch, until I told her had been using an epilator.

I think it took a few attempts to get totally used to the sensation - the first time did hurt but was def. bearable.

Can't imagine that the ice pack is on skin long enough to numb it

thats exactly what I wondered Tinker, you are not exactly going to hold it on each bit of leg lng enough are you???

I bought one and have to say even with the ice it still hurt. I still use it but I threw out the ice bit! Sorry. Still no magical cure for body hair.

Anyone tried lasers??

oooh actually we shoudl ask Bloss, she's an expert on this area and laser treatment iirc in particular!

saw her posting the other day too, after not seeing her for quite a while....
