I have been using an epilator for several years on my pubes, chest, and, pits without any issues. Provides a cleaner longer lasting shave than a razor. Tried it on my back, but too painful. Rather go for a wax or shave with clippers to avoid ingrowns. Usually shave twice weekly. Now it's pain free.
It was suggested that I try an epilator a couple of years ago. Yes, it took some getting used to but I like how regular use means I need to do it less and less. My pubic hair still grows the most so I shave that still but the rest of my body stays smooth much longer since I've used an epilator. I've got no regrets about using an epilator and am certainly smoother for longer now.
I bought one and tried in once on myself and once on my wife. We didn't get far because it hurt like hell! We took the loss in money spent in stride and went right back to shaving. I will resume getting wax treatments once the COVID-19 restrictions are lifted.
Wimps!!!
No, I get why you didn't continue, the slightest extra length of hair can make quite a difference, the hair needs to be long enough to be grabbed by the epilator, yet not very long at the same time, once you work out what works best for you the pain seems relatively negligible, or so it is with us.
Yep. Epilators suck. First of all, I found it to be very ineffective due to the breaking off of the hairs at the skin surface as opposed to them being pulled out by the root. And that was on "smooth areas" of my body that had no wrinkles! When used in pubic area, it grabbed onto the small folds of skin and cut me bad, even though I tried to pull my skin taught. I will never try one ever again. And for the record, I have an extremely high pain tolerance.

I use a hand epilation technique to remove the longer and thicker hairs, which leaves me not smooth, but with a light covering, which blends in with the rest of my body. Wearing a rubber glove and selecting the ones that can be gripped is all it takes. Once I start, the pain becomes less noticeable as my skin seems resigned to it's fate. The ones that remain are in the 1/4" to 1/2" range and don't appear as stubble. Even if you want a smooth look, this may work as a first step before using the machine on the remaining hairs.
i use an epilator and love it ,when you first start using one it is mildly painful for the first time but it gets better each time you use itas the hairs are smaller and have smaller and less developed root .normally when the hair gets to about 2 centimetres long it can be removed and it gives about a month or sometimes between removals.

Agree. I had to manually remove of all the hair before successfully using the epilator. Took about two weeks of plucking sessions.
