What Is An Epilator?

According to Wikipedia an epilator is an electrical device used to remove hair by mechanically grasping multiple hairs simultaneously and pulling them out. The way in which epilators pull out hair is similar to waxing (though unlike waxing, it only pulls out hairs, it doesn't remove dead skin cells too). Aside from the spring in early spring-type epilators, there are no parts in epilators that require regular replacement. Epilators come in corded, rechargeable and battery operated designs.

The Epilady was launched in 1986 and initially there was a great deal of interest until users realized how painful it was to use this hair removal device. Many epilators have come and gone in the meantime but most people find them too painful to use on pubic hair.

The Ultimate Shaving Kit and The Bikini Shaving Solution promise a pain free bikini line grooming procedure. No epilator has every made that claim!
