An epilator is the electrically powered equivalent of waxing. Essentially, an epilator removes bodily hair by pulling out small clutches of hair at a time. The only difference is that waxing requires the use of hot or cold wax while an epilator requires electricity.
There are many ways in which women remove hair from their body. For example, they might use electric tweezers or a more permanent solution like electrolysis. Many people think that electric tweezers are the same as an epilator, but the main difference between the two is that electric tweezers remove hair one at a time on a semi-permanent basis while an epilator temporarily removes hair in clutches.
Used properly and regularly, an epilator can be an easy, convenient and a cost effective method of hair removal. However, using an epilator might be quite painful for some women and some people complain that it is almost as painful as waxing. First time users experience slightly more pain than regular users, which is why many women prefer to get their body hair removed for the first time by a waxing professional. Thereafter, they can use the epilator at home in order to remove the fine hair which grows back again.
Epilators are either available with a cord and require an electrical socket close by or they come with batteries that need to be replaced regularly. Rechargeable epilators are also available and are very cost effective.
Epilators were first introduced onto the market in 1986 by Epilady, followed by Remington’s Lady Remington Smooth and Silky. The modern epilator works like a tweezer and in one continuous motion grips hair, pulls it, extracts the hair and discards it quickly. Sometimes, thicker hair may snap off and isn’t extracted from the roots. This makes the hair appear as stubble on the skin. However, this hardly ever happens and isn’t visible to the naked eye. With regular use, epilators produce smooth, soft, hairless skin. Women are spoilt for choice as there are now many brands on the market with countless features.
