RE:Epilators: has anyone tried them

Tried the epilator on the public region last night after trying trimming shorter than usual and not liking the stubble. Takes a lot of time to get every hair! I'd like to try my chest but I fear it would take ages and once you start you'd have to finish...

Your hair grows in cycles, so regrowth will start out to be a fraction of what you had when you started. I epilate once a week and now only get 20 hairs at most.

Cool. I did try the epilator a little but didn't try for a comprehensive result - rather just reduced the density. I managed to get it looking reasonably even in the mirror. How does one do the back? I guess assistance is necessary. I find that even trimming my back with a palm-shaped clipper rarely gets the perfect result - always a few wild hairs showing...

Agree, I think you will need assistance with your back. I am impressed if you used the epilator on your pubic hair without thinning it first. When I tried it the first time it was too much, so I plucked it all before trying it again. Took many sessions over a couple of weeks. These days I can keep the little amount of new growth plucked without using the epilator. The epilator is faster but plucking is more fun, spending quality time with my goodies.

Ooh, no. I've long plucked the pubes by wearing a rubber glove, leaving only the shortest and finest hairs which then blend in with the rest of my trimmed body, a solution for me that keeps the hair volume down without standing out as smooth and having consistent coverage even in s small swimsuit. I recently made the mistake of trimming with a #1 blade (3mm) instead of the planned #3 blade - oops - and by the time I realised it was too late. It was also stubbly, so that's when I thought I'd give the epilator a go.
