Epilator

6 replies

PrettyGirlsMakeGraves · 22/03/2015 10:03

I am very pale and have dark hair. I am fed up of shaving and do not have the time to get waxed regularly (even though I would love to!). I am thinking about getting an epilator.
I have looked at previous threads discussing these but they're all a few years old.
Can anyone recommend any epilators that they currently use? I have a few boots advantage points I would like to spend!
I am not really concerned about the pain. I find waxing tolerable and would rather have smooth arms/legs/bikini/stomach (Blush)!
Many thanks x

I just epilated this morning Smile

I use a phillips one but I've had it for almost 12 years so I reckon its been updated since I bought it!

If I was buying a new one I'd buy a Braun SilkEpil. They seem to get consistently good reviews. I use an exfoliator in the shower, with nice hot water to open the pores. Then I dry off and epilate asap. HTH.

I had a brown for 10 years and now have another brown one. And my hair has become more sparse.

The Remington is fine (and as I said there was on offer at Boots last week) and seems to have the same spec as a SilkEpil5.

I use a 6 year old Phillips, and have no complaints.

Thanks all.
I bought a Braun Silk Epil 7. It has left me feeling sore but smoothe! I tried my bikini line and I had to give up!!! Apart from that its a great product.

I can't bear to do my bikini line. Had a stab at one armpit the other day. Hence I only did one!
Great for the legs though!
