Epilatory issues

[EccentricaGallumbits]

1. how do you do your knees?

1. the itching is driving me nuts. why?

1. will I ever be brave enough to do my bikini line? i did my underarm once and it bled.

I put my foot on floor, with knee tensed- and just go for it!!!
I have no itching.
No. I am hard but the bikini line made me sob.

DD is 13 and epilates her legs- AND DOESN'T FLINCH (has obviously inherited hard gene)

As Deaddei says for knees. Never been brave enough to do anything other than shave my underarms and I leave my bikini line to the professionals.

I use an epilator and it doesn't hurt me either - maybe after 5+ years I am intolerant to it!

No itching, but I moisturise every day.

You have to use the smallest head for the underarms, and pull the skin tight or it will grab the flesh as well as the hairs < states the obvious >.

I use tweezers for my underarms

With my knees I tense and go for it

Talking about epilators I've had mine over 10 years. It was the first satin ice. are they better now? Is it worth splashing out?

Avoid the week of your period, it hurts more.
Make sure knee is bent and not straight, so the skin is taut; although have given up epilating as I was getting too many ingrown hairs, no matter how often I exfoliated, but once you do it the first time and thin the growth, it's much easier ime.

I was going to ask the same about old empilators - are the new ones that much better? Mine's an old satin ice as well, and i can only ever seem to get 95% of the hairs after several runs, and even then there's always a few stubborn ones.

I bend my knee and whip it over. Its the tops of my legs/thighs that I have to bite on wood when I do. Often get DP to do it for me!

Haven't had any issues with itching.

Wax my own bikini line (brave) and shave my pits. But tweezering pits? Yowee!

I have a Phillips one, can't remember the name, bought a few months ago. I love it. Has a few different heads, and A LIGHT! Its amazing! (Easily pleased)

are my knees extra knobbly then? just can't do it. not the pain but the angle.

i ended up doing cream for knees and thighs (and bikini/fanjo) epilated lower legs and shaved armpits.

i'm exhausted.

different heads sounds an advantage

oh and anyone have one of these new fangled ones you can use it water? I wonder if that helps as its always easier after a shower/bath

No I can't do my knees either and was going to start a thread.

I think mine are quite knobbly. It doesn't really hurt on there (although just above the knee on my thigh KILLS) but I can't get the hairs at all and have to use tweezers.

I replaced my very old one with this one and it is a big improvement, much more effective and I can do my bikini line, legs and underarms with the same gadget.
