Epilating Pain

What do you guys think about epilating? I just bought a new epilator and haven't used it on my body yet, just the face. I saw this guide https://www.wicked-reviews.com/best-epilator/ and many others and they all say it will hurt quite a bit. What are your experiences with epilating?

I tried it a few times, and I'll be honest...it's quite painful. I know that sometimes people think that wax is way more painful, but think of it this way. Would you prefer to feel continuous pain...or one time pain that will go away after a bit. I choose the later...wax hurts a bit then it goes away and epilating will hurt throughout. #beautyispain

use Numbing Creams Some people have very sensitive skin and aren?t able to epilate without the help of special numbing creams For you first time epilating, some women recommend taking a light painkiller. It might not be all that effective but to each her own. you prefer a glass of wine!

Epilating my legs doesn't hurt that much. It sort of feels like a tiny electric shock, but nothing too bad. I also do my bikini line and that area is more painful, but I used to do waxing so I expected that. I would suggest starting with a professional wax and than use the epilator to maintain the results. It will hurt less and give you a more manageable area to work with. Take a painkiller a half hour to an hour before to manage inflammation and you should be fine. Don't forget to exfoliate weekly to keep away the bumps and ingrown hairs. I've found Stridex pads are great for this because the have salicylic acid that is gentle for exfoliating.

I think, waxing is more painful that epilating. I usually use epilating to get the complete body wax. When I wish to get ready in my new bikini from https://www.dollboxx.com.au/collections/reversible-bikini-tops ,epilating helps me get beach ready. Epilating is more easy than waxing and can be done anytime to dazzle in the sun this summer.
