Epilady Speed Purple Corded Epilator for Women, Root Hair Removal, 2 Speeds | Hair Removal Device, 4-6 Week Smoothness, Catches 2-5 mm Regrowth, For Legs & Face, Hair Remover for Women

This tool i was worried about at first, i thought i would hurt myself or it would be too painful (male with thick and fairly dense leg/arm hair). Yes there is pain, however that is to be expected the first time, every pass makes the next basically feel like nothing. This tool literally pulls the hair out and has no cutting power. There are 2 speeds, i recommend using the fastest setting and it results in a faster extraction. I can't recommend this tool for sensitive areas like the face or up beyond your thighs into the nether regions (you could maybe, but the hair seems to be deeper and the skin is sensitive and is generally more dense, if you choose to do this it's going to be a good idea to do so slowly making passes where you don't press the tool close to the skin but instead hover as close as you can. Once you thing things out it gets easier and more importantly not overly painful. over all i give the tool a grade of A 5 stars, the skin is indeed smooth and nearly hairless, though you will likely have to spend a little time dusting off the hair from the site you are working on and looking for those stray hairs. also impressed that the tool has not broken with the amount of torque i put on it with the sheer volume of hair it had to yank but satisfyingly it is still rocking strong. If you are trying to have longer lasting smooth skin without the hair then this is your tool that gets easier the more you use it and likely also applies to later use assuming the hair is maintained with the tool when it comes back in 3-4 weeks, using it fairly regularly the pain is no longer a factor as low density means far less intensity. first time using on dense hair = medium to high pain next few passes = low to medium pain follow up sessions /maintained use to remove rogue hair growing back = low or no real discomfort. what at first looks like blades are in fact not and when you feel the pain it is not going to cut you so you can press it to your skin while spinning however i recommend for thick areas gradually hovering closer allowing the tool to grab the longer hair first and then running it again like a game of limbo going lower and lower until you can press to your skin without feeling the sandpaper sensation ( i promise you are not getting burns or cuts the tool is just triggering your nerves since it is plucking many hairs at once in around the same area it just feels like that time you skinned your knee on the asphalt, but unlike that scenario you are not bleeding or actually hurt and you can avoid this by following the prior advise. All in all great tool and in my opinion worth the money. Good luck out there.

This is a mighty little tool for its size. It needs to be used with caution on high speed or it can pinch or bite, but it comes with a guide that is designed to help a beginner learn to use it. The low speed is about the same as the speed of my battery operated epilators. The battery types slow down quickly as soon as their batteries begin to lose power, but this corded type will run at full power all the time. Slow motion epilators hurt more than full power epilators, so this model won’t hurt as much during use. It doesn’t need extra space for holding batteries, so it’s small enough to fit in the palm of your hand easily. The high speed is probably okay for legs, but it might be too much for underarms because you need to maintain careful control in delicate areas. It’s true that hairs grow back less thick and less coarse when you use an epilator on a regular basis. Once you get over the first week, it’s not nearly as bad. Skin needs to be totally clean and totally dry to avoid problems. Putting a small amount of plain cornstarch on underarm areas and then wiping it off with a dry cloth helps to make underarms smoother and dryer before using the epilator. It’s not really necessary for legs. You can blow and brush the tweezer area of the epilator off after every use to keep it clean. When you first begin using an epilator, it does sting during use and for awhile afterward. Cool cloths help relieve pain and inflammation. It’s probably best to plan the first underarm experience when you can stay home for at least two days, like over a weekend, so you can use cornstarch instead of antiperspirant and simply wash sweat off as necessary. Once you get the initial hairs yanked out and the initial inflammation subsides, everything will be easier and less painful. Doing underarms in the evening can make using antiperspirant more comfortable the following day. And after awhile, you won’t need to use the epilator as often because hair growth should slow down considerably. I’m not sure this particular style would work well for facial hair or the bikini line if necessary. If I were inclined to use one in those areas, I’d probably want a thinner style with battery power. But for legs, I’d pick a corded style over a battery style because doing legs uses up too much battery power. For underarms, I would use either type. This particular model was able to grab super fine leg hairs that my battery styles and tweezers couldn’t get. My leg and underarm hair went from coarse to fine in just a few months and my underarms stopped looking like Fred Flinstone’s five o’clock shadow face in no time. Razor rash and itching disappeared. I got tired of constantly having to buy and replace batteries for my old epilators, so I ordered this corded model instead. It should pay for itself within the first year.

Excellent product. This is my first epilator and I had so many questions when I was researching and shopping so I wanted to share a few thoughts on this zero-waste option as a beginner for anyone else on the same road. This little beast gets the job done. I highly recommend. ABOUT ME :I have thick black hair from scalp to sole and deathly pale caucasian skin; after growing to about a third an inch, this guy ate them up. PAIN: Yes it hurts: the same amount as waxing just a little more prolonged. You do get use to it, and for me it became almost relaxing after a few uses. On legs and arms it's more of a warmth with occasionally sting. On the face and pubic area it's a bit like lots of little harsh yanks, with a little heat and pinch. For me, the underarms are the most intense and "painful". PRODUCT DETAILS: It makes similar noise to an iPhone vibrating really hard on gravel. The casing and wire feels flimsy in the hand but they're holding up very well. PRETTY PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND DON'T BUY A BATTERY OPERATED. USE TIPS: I'm still learning but I've found that using it like an ultrasound wand on legs (straight up and down perpendicular to skin, in small slow circles) and like a straight razor (slow swipes going with the contours of jaw cheeks neck and chin) on the face work best. CONS: It does take several passes to get all the hair; I've had small amounts of breakage where the hair gets cut but not pulled out and leaves the unsightly little black dot under the skin. After a nasty struggle with androgen-secreting tumors, I've been looking for a magic solution to my full lady beard and body hair and this product is my miracle find. (Note: the only reason I've given four stars instead of five, is because I believe that a slightly pricier more deluxe version from this same Epilady brand might be better for people with a larger budget or more experience.)

Bought this Feb 15- it is June 27 and it won’t run anymore. It removed hair great while it worked! It’s a bit annoying that you have to use it while it’s plugged in yet it has a removable charging type cord. But it’s a one star because I expect a product to last longer than 5 months. The first Epilady I bought back in the 90s lasted me over 10 years -possibly would still be using it if I hadn’t accidentally caught a coil in my long (head) hair. The next one I bought also lasted that long.

I'm so happy to have an epilator again! I'm of Southern European/Mediterranean extraction, so hair on my legs and underarms grows quite thick and course. I have to shave my legs every morning, and sometime if I go out in the evening I'll shave a second time. I first started using an epilator in my first year of law school at the age of 23, and I continued doing so for about ten years. Then about two years ago, I moved to London for a few months. I went to plug in my old, trusty Epilady, using what I thought was a safe adaptor, and it got completely fried. I put off buying a new one because of the unfavorable exchange rate, and then by the time I returned to the U.S. I had grown accustomed to the routine of shaving. It was out of sight, out of mind. Then about two months ago I actually sat down and calculated how much I was spending on overpriced razor catridges, and I decided that an Epilady was a much better investment. I started this time with this inexpensive model because I wasn't sure I would be able to become re-accustomed to the pain. It was a needless concern, since I find using it to be almost painless. For the record, when I first started using an epilator at the age of 23, it was very painful and took a lot of getting used to, but eventually I adjusted and only felt mild discomfort in some more sensitive areas. I used this particular epilator for the first time a couple of weeks ago, and it was as if I had never stopped using one. I felt a slight prickling in some areas, and around my ankles I had to go very slowly, but on large swathes of skin I just went over it quickly in a circular pattern, and my skin felt numbed. It removed all the hair, and almost two weeks later I still haven't needed a touch-up. If using this for the first time, remember to do so immediately after you've soaked in a bath or the shower, and then hold the skin taut in areas that you find painful. Change the angle frequently or move the device in a circular pattern, since hair often grows in different directions. Most of all, I can't emphasize enough that, regardless of whether you're a novice with an epilator or an old pro, it's much less painful to use it after you've soaked in a bath or shower! It makes a world of difference. I'm able to use this on my legs, underarms and bikini area (if using this in a sensitive area, remember to use the guard and hold skin taut!), but I have no need to use it on my face or arms, so I can't really say how well it works on those areas of the body. I had my other, more expensive model for almost a decade before it met a catastrophic end due to a bad electrical adaptor, but I've only had this one for a few weeks. So far the quality seems okay, and it certainly does the job, but I don't know how long it will last. For the price, however, it will be worth it even if I only get a few months out of it. It does come with a 1-year warranty. Overall, much less expensive than buying replacement razor cartridges, and much, much more effective.

I don't write a lot of reviews, but there were so many conflicting reviews on these so I thought I would share my experience. I bought my Epilady about two months ago, so I have taken some time to see how it works. I've been shaving my legs for more than 40 years and I'm part Roma, so I had to shave daily, twice a day if I wanted smooth legs to go out at night. I read on someone else's review to use Dove deodorant after using the Epilady to prevent in-grown hairs and so far so good. It also calms down the redness from having each hair pulled out by the root. Yes, the first time I used it was pretty darn painful. Maybe even excruciating, but the second time I did my legs, the pain wasn't nearly as bad. After a couple of months, it doesn't bother me at all. My hair is also growing in much more thinly. I've also used it to good effect on my underarms, and it worked great on my arms, which I hadn't ever shaved. Perhaps it works best on hair that hasn't been shaved for decades. For some reason, the Epilady doesn't get every hair. No matter how often I go over my leg, in a rotating motion, at the suggested and every other angle, some hairs don't come out. So I use it once a week for about 20 minutes. What it didn't get last week, it gets this week, and best of all, even though not all the hair comes out, my legs stay smooth from week to week. If it got all of the hair without me having to go over my legs so many times, then I would have given it 5 stars, but I won't go back to shaving. Don't waste your money to get the battery operated "delicate area" with the regular Epilady. It is useless and you can use th full size one to get any facial hair. All in all, it's worth a try to see if it works for you.

Painful. But works great. Im a guy that like hair on my arm pits or chest. It pulls it out

TESTED AND LOVE IT - for all those with THICK hair - this is the product for you. Ever since the 6th grade, no one has seen my underarms. Immediately after shaving, I've always had a five o'clock shadow under there. Ever since using the Epilady, I haven't shaved! It's been weeks. Not lying, first use for underarms I could only do one - it feels like your skin is being ripped off. Granted, I also have three thick hairs growing out of each follicle... however, pain was worth it for me. After you suck it up and do it the first time, it doesn't hurt even nearly as bad the second time around. Or the third... or fourth... I will never go back to shaving. PROS: After first use, only a few hairs grew back, and that was after two weeks. My hair grows quickly, too. Pain is reduced after first use. Totally worth it. After first use, time taken is reduced, too. Underarms take a minute or two, lower legs maybe five minutes each. Bikini line - wahoo! No red bumps, no five o'clock shadows! NO MORE SHAVING! And I no longer consider laser hair removal... $$$$$ saved CONS: First use - omg pain. Hurts badly, especially under arms. Thin hair - I have thin hair behind my knees and on my upper legs - feels like the most annoying prickly pain and honestly, that hair is hardly visible as it is and isn't worth the pain to get rid of it. I'll continue to shave my thighs, since its once a month anyway :) Genital area - I've only ventured with the bikini line, and like the underarms, first time sucks! BUT - eliminates five o'clock shadow, and results last. Especially great for sunny vacations - no red bumps! As for the rest of that area, hair growth is in such an awkward angle so you'd have to start from the bottom - ouch. Not sure I'll tough that out. BOTTOM LINE - for those troubled by thick hair, sensitive-to-shaving skin, 10/10 would recommend! Thin haired individuals - I'd stick to waxing. Pain isn't worth it and thin hair is harder for the Epilady to grasp and effectively remove. Probably would just break the hair.

Tenía otro modelo de depilador epilady, este modelo me gusto más, es más practico, mucho más fácil de usar e igual de efectivo. Lo compre a un precio increíble, ahora lo veo al doble.

I had the very first epilady back in the late 80’s and they have come a long way. Minimal pulling and pain with this one, I use it everywhere. Even gets out the short hairs

Unusable due to wrong connection for Australia.

Great product! I had the epilady from the 90s! I wasn’t sure how this one would would be . Very satisfied. It’s light and works great !

Muy buen producto, a mi esposa le encantó, para reemplazar otro epilady que tenía de hace un tiempo. La calidad es buena y el precio también.
