Is it true that in time you get used to the UNBEARABLE pain of using epilators for underarms?

Question

I tried it yesterday, and i had to stop halfway through! It just really hurt SO MUCH i couldnt even possibly imagine more pain than that in the underarms zone! Today my skin is still irritated but I have read that people get used to the pain and that it eventually fades away?? I just thought maybe my pain is different from the pain other people experience, becuase it really hurt and on my legs it just didn't. However, id really love it to epilate with that machine if only i knew that there was SOMETHING i could do about the pain, say thinking it would drift away OR putting on some special product that helps?

Thankyou :)

Answer 1

no, it's not true that you get used to the pain. believe me, you will NEVER get used to it. it's a way of torture, lol!

in reality, the less and smaller the hair is, the less the pain is also.

wax your underarms instead of using the epilator, or at least wax them once and when the hair starts to grow back, use the epilator -BEFORE the hair grows much and long.

you can do the same with your legs, since you really want to use your epilator. just remember the fact, or you will suffer!

Answer 2

Yes, it hurts like crazy. I actually screamed when I tried it on my underarms, I could tolerate my arms and legs but my underarms were actually really painful. Waxing was way easier and less painful.

Answer 3

wax them instead! at least you'll only have to endure one slice of pain. in my experience, pre-waxed plastic strips (like the ones by parissa) work beautifully and with the very least amount of pain.. in fact, it doesn't even phase me anymore. regular hot wax is a completely different story.. it actually takes some skin off, haha.
