I tried an epilator for the first time. If you dont know what an epilator is, its an electronic device used to remove hair by mechanically grasping multiple hairs simultaneously and snatching them from the root. Similar to waxing. For my epilation test drive I decided to do an Epilator Brazilian. Brave? Yeah I know. #NewYearNewMe so why not try new things. Besides, I wanted to see if I really had that S on my chest. Heres the backstory

I dont like hair unless its on my head. And I dont like too much of it there either. I especially dont like pubic hair. If this is TMI for you stop reading now. I used to shave but I would always nick myself and the hair grew back super coarse. Mind you I have very coarse hair to begin with. So Ive been not so regularly getting Brazilian Waxes for the last 10 years.
I hate getting a Brazilian Wax though. Whoever said that the pain gets easier to deal with over time lied. That ish always hurts. And unless you find a good groupon deal, upkeep can get very expensive. I used to get a wax every 3-5 weeks. Now I only stick to this schedule in the Summer. The rest of the year I get a wax about every 10 weeks unless Im going on vacation. And I do maintenance with clippers to keep the hair low in between visits.
Now back to the epilator. Ive had a Panasonic Wet/Dry Epilator sitting in a drawer for about 3 years. PR sent it to me and I totally forgot about it. I had never used an epilator before and got cold feet after doing some research. Fast forward to a couple of weeks ago, I found the epilator and decided to give it a try. I was curious to see how it compared to waxing. After browsing through the manual, I figured out what attachments I needed to use and got started. I decided to do dry epilation so that I can easily hold my skin tight for better hair removal.
I started at the bikini line with the Gentile Epilator Head. It wasnt painful at all. I just felt a little pinching. Next I moved on to the Dual Disc Epilator Head with the Gentile Cap, and decided to start in the center. Now if youve ever gotten a wax youd know that this is the most painful area because of the nerve endings. As instructed, I slowly glided the epilator across the area and immediately stopped. It hurt like hell. Same intensity as waxing. But worse since youre moving slower. I decided to suck it up and carry on.
Once I got past this area the pain became less intense. It actually was more of an uncomfortable sensation than pain. I switched between the Gentile Cap and Fast Cap to move things along quicker. Now I thought the labia would hurt the most. Especially the inner labia. But it barely hurt at all. I guess I was numb at this point.
Epilating the labia was more awkward than anything. I had to lift my legs and fold my body into uncomfortable positions in order to hold the skin tight and remove all of the hair. Holding the skin as tight as possible in this area is very important as your skin can get pinched in the epilator. This actually happened to me a couple of times. It wasnt painful, just scary. The skin didnt rip or anything. It just kind of gets sucked in and the rollers stop moving. When you turn the epilator off, the skin comes right out without force. The first time it happened I stopped breathing as I thought I ripped off a patch of cooch. But all was well.
It took me about an hour to complete my Epilator Brazilian as I was very careful, and tried my best to get every hair. The test drive was a success. My lady bits were smooth and hairless, just like when I get a Brazilian Wax. There were a few stray hairs that were too short to grasp, but this happens when I get a wax as well. I just tweeze them since its such a small amount and I dont like the look of stray hairs. I finished off the job with a layer of Tend Skin to calm the skin.

After two weeks, the hair is just growing back in. So I would say that the results last about as long as a Brazilian Wax. I plan to continue to do epilation in lieu of waxing on the regular. Ill treat myself to a wax on occasion.
My Panasonic Epilator appears to be discontinued. But this Braun Epilator looks even better, and has great reviews. I plan to upgrade to this one when mine decides to kick the bucket. Another note, you can try a numbing cream to make the epilating process a little less painful if youd like. I guess I like pain as I havent tried this as of yet.
Shaving the bikini line: hair removal the quick and easy way
Shaving is the most popular method of hair removal for genital areas and armpits, being quick, easy and affordable. However, traditional manual razors often cause skin irritation and even cuts. Hair removal using an electric shaver that is specifically designed for intimate use is easier and less likely to irritate. The Philips SatinShave Essential Wet & Dry electric shaver, for example, is designed with a small shaving head that is ideally suited for use over your whole body. You can even use it in the shower, so it fits easily into your daily routine.
Its always a good idea to trim long hair before shaving. Itll be easier to shave, and to see what youre doing! The Philips BikiniGenie Bikini Trimmer is designed for easy use in the bikini area, whether youre trimming or using the shaving attachment. The rounded cutting teeth on the trimmer effectively cut hairs while protecting your most delicate skin from nicks, while the ergonomic handle design helps you work your way along the bikini line effortlessly, thus minimising mistakes or irritation.
Key steps to shaving:
1. Trim longer hair before you start shaving to make the process easier.
2. Always shave or trim in the direction of hair growth to avoid irritation.
