I asked this question earlier: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AlGcYROpY8WIHa0ZqiedBeLsy6IX;_ylv=3?qid=20080903155723AAi0sa2

basically asking about waxing and one of the answers mentioned an epilator, what does it do how does it work?

Have you used one?

Answer 1

Pretty much electric tweezers. I used to have one, they're ok. A lot less time consuming than shaving.

Answer 2

It plucks hair.

I think it's a small "machine" and it just pulls out your hairs.

Answer 3

It's an epilator machine. It kind of does the same thing as when you wax but it's a machine and you buy it once and you can use it during years and years ! I personally think it is better than when you wax. There's a platform rolling and remove the hair. I use an epilator and i like it because it saves time and money.

There's a warning though : it can hurt and makes your skin red and sensible after. But here's and advice : use it at night and - after - apply lotion on your legs and it will be ok.

I adore my epilator machine. You should buy one :)
