Re: Nads, Electrolysis and the whole hairy truth!

I got my first Epilady at 17, and I loved it! Of course, the first session was very painful, but I got used to it after a while. Since then, I've been using Philips and Braun epilators, and I never shave, unless I I need to be smooth in 5 minutes - it takes me 1/2 hour to epilate my legs. The Braun I'm using now is better than the Epilady, faster, and it has a little massage device to attenuate the pain. The secret is to use it once or twice a week, so that the hairs are fewer and shorter. However, after women who shaved for many years, an epilator might seem painful and time-consuming. But I like it! No stubble, little pain, and only a weekly ordeal. I use it on my face, chest, tummy, legs and arms.
