    Default Is is time to buy a new epilator?

    Ok ive had my epilator for about 2 yrs and it was great but the last couple of times i used it i had to epilate again a week later as my legs were hairy again. Is it just hairs that were too short to get before or has it had its day?

    does your hair grow finer as you epilate?

    sorry to threadjack but the whole concept just seems weird! do you have to grow your hair out to a certain length to use it?

    but back to the OT-- yeah, sounds like a new one is in order. especially after two years.

    lol its ok!
    Well i had really hair legs before, id shave in the mornin and b prickly by the evening lol
    So i got them waxed a few times and then bought an epilator to save costs. It picks up really short hairs( i would say about 5 days worth of unshaved dependin on hairgrowth), well it did anyway. Theres even a newer one out that ive had my eye on that picks up even shorter hairs and has like 40 tweezers so it doesnt take as long. I used to epilate my legs and i wouldnt need to do them again til like 4 weeks later.

    Yea i dont think its really suitable for a dancer but its just fine for an office girlies like me
    Though ive been seriously tempted to start shaving my legs again as they never seem to be as smooth as a really close shave. I'm torn between shaving my legs everyday and being super smooth or epilating being being almost smooth.

    Try wearing thigh highs during those few days a month in between.

    I had the braun silk epil but there is a new one that i think is called the braun silk epil excell or something like that.
    Just used my old one and it still works fine on my bikini line? I dont get it, maybe my leg hair is so fine its snapping off rather than pulling?
