Epilators....


OUCH!!!!!!!!!

I went out and got myself one yesterday,I had a brain wave and thought of all the money I could save by not have to buy razor blades.
Well I tried it this morning and omg the pain!!! I wasnt expecting it to be any worse than waxing but how wrong was I
Does anybody else use them? I just want to know if it gets easier

Ed wandered what was going on and came running into the room,he said it sounded like someone was killing me He couldnt leave it there though,oh no he had to go on and say that "women" cant handle pain............so I epilated his leg........Something tells me he will not be making comments like that again anytime soon

Re: Epilators....


It doesn't! I persevered for a couple of months back in the 80s and gave up pronto. Waxing and electolysis are FAR more preferable

Re: Epilators....


Sounds awful! One of the advantages of being postmenopausal is that you don't need to shave any more; the hair stops growing!
