this one:
and yes, it works well. takes a while to get used to the right angle and motion to actually get the hairs out and not just hurt yourself lots though....
I have now given it to my mum (who gets on fine with it) and I have reverted to shaving, which although I have to do it every couple of days, it doesnt make me rashy and spotty.
I think some people are just suited to eplilating and waxing etc, and some people arent.
Just ordered this one coz its half price.
I bought this one about a month ago. I didn't find it painful at all on the legs... but couldn't get it near bikini line or underarms...
Still, I'm quite satisfied with it...
Thats the one i've got, it works pretty allright, it's just a bit annoying cause it takes about 15 minutes to do your legs properly.
Also i find it fine to use on my under arms, just don't go and try it down there :shocking:
Ditto!
Mines delayed 2 weeks though which is a bit of a bastard.
it has a series of mini tweezers. Looks like a razor, in theory is the same as a razor, but the tweezers rip out the hairs. So painful, my housemate did it on my leg. Horrid, wouldn't do it again. Waxing = quicker and less painful, or shaving!!! :angel:
Atm, I have my legs waxed every 3/4 months and shave in between these times when I need to.
I'm tempted to try an epilator, but just how painful are they??

I think they're as painful as each other - it's just that epilating takes longer, so it hurts for longer. For me it's not unbearable, it's a kind of grit-your-teeth-and-bear-it pain.
Damn sight cheaper than waxing though :yes:
It is not simple, you need to buy two cos unless you have migit legs you end up with only a leg and a half of cream. Then theres the burning, and the rug gets runined cos it splats and it last for all of 2 days. I'm thinking of just giving up and not shaving my legs unless I need to wear a skirt. Which isnt very often. I'm sure my bf wouldnt mind. Not as if I'm wolf girl or anything.
Veet are crappy, too. That stuff never worked on me, ever.
I don't have a boyfriend, and even if I did, I can't be arsed shaving my legs all the bloody time. I shaved them yesterday... before that, I don't know when it was. They were like mini-fields. But who cares? As long as they're not on show, no-one will ever know.
Haha!
Yeah sorry!! I meant painless!
your sig makes my eyes hurt
