Hello!

I break out in horrible rashes from shaving, I can’t use any hair removal products and electric shavers are just not cutting it. Just wondering if any mummies have an epilator and are they worth it? Do they work effectively?

  • They work, but they hurt and gee they take a lot of patience.


  • I didn’t post this question but found the comments really helpful.


  • I just got really bad ingrown hairs using mine. Big red bumps all over my legs that were so itchy it was insane.


  • I wasn’t a fan of my epilator to be honest. I used it a few times then never again. Have you heard of sugaring? Like waxing but without the hot wax. More like a wad of toffee haha you can find a studio that does it or you can make it yourself https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=CHv-KgF2pNE

  • I second laser hair removal -maybe have a consult and see if it’s something you can do?


  • it is up to you. you might really love it or you might prefer to do something else.


  • I’ve heard that they hurt. I’m going to look into laser hair removal, I know it’s pricey but if you find a place that does good bundle it’s worth it.


  • Asked a friend and she had one and said it was painful!


  • i had one and i only used it a handful of times. i really didnt like it so went back to waxing.


  • Yes I think they are great. They don’t hurt like they did years ago


  • do you have a very good friend who has one who will let you borrow it to try it out to make sure that you will not come out in rashes.


  • I think it suits some and not others. Whatever floats your boat as the saying goes. I have been very fortunate as the hairs on my legs never seem to grow.


  • I highly recommend laser hair removal, if you shop around you’ll be able to find a decent price/bundle and it works amazingly.


  • I found mine very painful and stopped using it after a few goes.


  • I tried one when i was younger but couldnt handle the pain so i opted for getting my legs waxed, although still painful it was over and done with quicker.
