Epilator Reviews
So you're considering buying an epilator, but want to consult some epilator reviews first? You've come to the right place.
The practice of removing body hair is commonplace for a majority of image-conscious women (as well as some men) in western society these days. It will therefore come as no surprise to discover that the number of different hair removal products on the market has also grown significantly to satisfy the requirements and preferences of each individual.
Epilators are quickly becoming the preferred method of hair removal for many women (and some men) who are sick of the inconvenience of shaving on an almost daily basis and may not be too fond of the discomfort of waxing large areas of skin. But with so many different epilators to choose from on the market, knowing exactly which one to choose is easier said than done.
The aim of this site is to provide epilator reviews, comparisons and information in an attempt to make that purchase decision less of a headache.
Before you read about any specific epilator you might be interested in learning a little more information on epilators in general - including about what they actually are, how they work, and what advantages (and disadvantages) they have in comparison to other hair removal methods and products.
What does an epilator look like?
Of course, the exact design of each epilator will vary from manufacturer-to-manufacturer, and indeed from model-to-model. Generally speaking however, they don't look much different to any standard electric shaver. The only real difference in design is likely to be in the top head section, and that is due to the fact that they work in a totally different way to shavers. They can come needing to be plugged into the mains, or in cordless, battery operated form.
How do they work?
The way in which is an epilator works differently from a shaver is that instead of cutting hairs above the surface of the skin, they actually pull hairs out at the root. They are capable of pulling out multiple hairs at once and work via tweezer action, not too diferently to how waxing works or indeed how individual manual plucking occurs.
What are the benefits?
Some of the most obvious benefits of epilating over other hair removal techniques are as follows:
Convenience:
Epilators are very quick and convenient to use, provided that you do use them on a regular basis and don't let the hairs get too long. Typically it will take less than a minute or so to completely remove hair from both of your legs. It can be done any place, any time, in the comfort of your own home, without the need for professional assistance.
Cost Savings:
Once you've purchased an epilator, it can usually be used over and over - year after year - with no added or further costs. There is no need to spend absurd amounts of money on a continuous supply of disposeable razors, nor is there any need to buy replacement heads as you would for your electric shaver. Provided that you look after it and perform a little cleaning after each use, you should enjoy many years of flawless service from your epilator and save a lot of money in the process.
Increased Effectiveness:
Since razors and shavers can only reach hairs that protrude above the surface of the skin, it doesn't take long before the dreaded stubble appears, requiring that it be done all over again. Fortunately, since epilators actually pull hairs out from the root, it takes a lot longer before the hairs become long enough to bother you again, meaning you'll have fantastically smooth, hairless skin for a much longer duration of time - often nearing on a whole month.
In addition, epilators are capable of removing exceptionally fine and short hairs that the likes of waxing simply wouldn't be effective towards.
How are they used?
In short - much like a regular electric shaver! Making sure your skin is clean and dry before epilating, simply stroke your hairs against the direction of growth to make them stand on end. Then, hold the epilator perpendicular to the skin and move it slowly, also against the direction of hair growth. Some discomfort will be felt but such is the nature of the practice of plucking hairs from the skin. The amount of discomfort can be lowered drastically if you were to wax the skin you intend to epilate before using the epilator for the first time, and then ensuring that the epilator is used regularly before the hairs have a chance to grow back too long and thick.
