i have used the Epilady (many, many years ago)...that thing is truly a
demonically possessed torture device. As I recall, it was extremely painful
to use and that was on my legs. The notion of applying that thing to my
bikini area is appalling. I would love to find something to use besides a
razor, as I tend to look like i went wading with a school of
pirhana...lol....kristin
