How can I make epilating less painful?

Question

I'm going on holiday so want a long term hair removal coz shaving only gets rid of the hairs for a day. I've got an epilator but are there any tips on making it less painful

Answer 1

Get an ice pack or a big bag of ice and hold it on the area you are about to epilate for a while. It will numb your skin down a bit. Alternatively, get a wax. It does the same job as an epilator but it gets it over with quicker and therefore hurts less.

Answer 2

epilators are bad. I used one and I got ingrown hairs.

save your money and get lazer hair removal. I finally did that and it makes a huge difference.

Answer 3

my husband bought me on of those, i couldnt use it, he said why not, so i just said give me your leg and i will show you, he understood, i have been trying to sell it and nobody wants it, lol

Answer 4

I use an epilatior all the time, in the long run it makes the hair grow back lighter, the more your do it the less it hurts, try ice, i think the pain is worth the result, Good Luck!!!

Answer 5

put baby oil on your legs 5 minutes before starting - eases the pain a bit.
