I use one on my legs all the time. Took a bit to get used to. I hurts a bit, but if you can get over that, theyre really good. The more you use it, the less your hair grows, which makes it easier each time. Not brave enough to try the bikini line.
Mine is a Braun Silk Epil (but not sure what brands you have in the US)

Hey, that looks pretty cool! Do you still get ingrown hairs from it, I really have a big problem with that?? Is it battery operated or do you plug it in?? Thanks for the info, I'm thinking of ordering it!

Hi,
Okay, here is my next question: I figured that the epilators would hurt.. but does it hurt more than waxing? 'cause I got really good at waxing (and I waxed EVERYTHING so my threshold got pretty high) so if it hurts less than waxing, I should be okay... I know it's worth it and I would go out and get waxed right now but I literally have zero dollars. Less than that, actually, which is the really bad part. Which means electrolysis is definitely.
A couple of years ago, my mom called an electrolysis place for me 'cause I was having such a bad reaction to shaving and they said that for your legs, for 6 sessions, it would cost $10,000 (Canadian). HOLY MOLY!
I wish I could just pull every hair out myself, but I tried that last night and it took me forever to just tweeze one tiny area! OY! Stupid body hair... *mutter mutter*

i think it hurts more than waxing only cause.....waxing its one quick pull and thats its!
the epilator things..pull out one maybe 2 at a time and it's prolonged pain i think.

It's battery operated. As for the ingrown hairs, I haven't gotten any yet, but it's new so I've only used it once! I'm very susceptible to those, too, so I'll let you know once the weather gets warmer and I use it more!
