Epilator Vs. Plucking

[Guest raykhuu0]

do they give the same results?

Yeah, I normally pluck mine, but i see many here use epilators. I was thinking of buying one. But i don't know if they have the same results.... So if any of you guys can share your experiences/opinions, thanks alot

They are basically the same thing. The only difference is tweezing pulls out one hair at a time whereas an epilator pulls out many hairs at once. Think of an epilator as a bunch of tweezers in one product.

i want to get one too..

i'm just scared that my leg hairs are too thick for the epilator to pluck.

^ aren't thicker hairs easier to lift out than thinner hairs? i hear that it's bigger for the epilator to grasp and pull out

[Guest plumplum]

But the thicker ones hurt. The thinner ones don't hurt that much.

When I tried my leg, it hurt so much I got really warm, sweaty and my throat felt tight.

Nevarrr.

Ouch. I guess stick to waxing.

Someone suggested eating ibuprofen beforehand to help with the pain.

To reduce pain:

"Maintaining flat, taut surfaces is key when using this epilator. Getting flesh/skin stuck in this thing is NOT fun. If there's a way to stretch the skin around, say, a bone, in order to get a flat surface, try to do it."

Epilators are strong, they can pull off thick hair, like pubic hair thick lol

[Guest babymicky]

i don't know about you but i have so much fun plucking...

[Guest adayinthelife]

yea, like someone else said, epilators are basically a bunch of electronically powered tweezers that do the plucking a billion times faster

[Guest alphlovebtc]

Epilators take less time (:

[Guest roses296]

I use an epilator (^3^)

I tried to wax but that hurt waaaay too much (T3T)

And you do have to be careful with thin hair, because it's more likely to break off instead of being pulled out...

[Guest sus]

epilators giv u ingronws..

pluckin is more neat

but takes a long long time

[Guest VIETboredom]

edit O_O

nevermind.

copied and pasted this from somewhere

Waxing, shaving, sugaring, tweezing, epilators, and even hair removal creams or depilatories can cause ingrown hairs. If you’ve had this problem, you likely won’t soon forget it. After getting rid of your unwanted hair, you find little red painful bumps over your skin. They look like a rash and hurt and itch.

so yeah tweezing/plucking can cause ingrowns too o_o they all do.

[Guest roses296]

True~

Personally I find that shaving is more likely to give you ingrown hairs than anything else... I don't think I ever got ingrown hairs from epilating (^3^)

[rantasarus]

^ babymicky, haha plucking is fun for you

[Guest cindyx123]

hm... i want to buy a epilator.

[Guest Smileforjessie]

i use epilator on arms and underarms!

as for face i use threading and for legs..its waxing >< haha

[Guest pinksubmarine]

I think i will stick to waxing! I can't take even regular plucking. So i don't think i could stand thousands of them plucking at me in one time.
