It hurts. I have a child and a tatoo but nothing compares to the pain of epilating. I guess my hair is firmly rooted or something. Never, ever use it on the bikini line or underarms. Bleeding from the pits is not fun. Some hairs are just not meant to come out by the roots.
I did manage to play through the pain and it does remove the hair very, very well. I was smooth for a long time. You know how people say that the only reason people want to have a second child is because they’ve forgotten the pain of the first? Well, I did not forget the pain of the first epilation and I could not bring myself to do it again.
For those of you with a high pain tolerance and very fine hair, this would be the ideal option as it does work very well. For the thick haired wimps of this world though, ouch!
