Electric Shavers and Epilators

Some of the most used products of today's society are cosmetics and beauty products. Health and beauty, that's what describes this generation the best, and some of the most used products are shavers. When it comes to man it's an older tradition, we used to save our beards long time ago. But ladies... There tradition of shaving legs and other body parts is not as young as people think. They started shaving their body parts a long, long time ago. It just so happened that this trend has rose up in the last few decades. And now we all have electric shavers to help us in our little endeavor to look nice.

Electric shavers are quite popular now, and they have been for the past two decades. The reason for that is the comfort they provide, and now with the technology advancing we have electric shavers that give us the same results as regular razor blades. They are easy to use and they come with a lot of different features like trimmers, shapers and some other very handy options. Most of them are cordless and they have a battery just like a cell phone so you can charge them and take them anywhere you want. Unlike regular razor blades they come with a long lasting warranty, plus in the long run they end up saving you money. Regular razors require change of blades on a regular basis and in the period of 3 months that may end up costing you the same as a new electric shaver. So they have all we need, we just have to choose which one. And that may be a little difficult since there are so many of them. But they all provide the same options so in the end if you buy a Braun or Philips it won't matter.

As far as ladies epilators go lots of men have the wrong idea. We automatically assume that epilators are like our electric shavers. Meaning they save the hair. Wrong, they don't shave the hair; they pull it out from the roots. Which makes their beauty treatment very painful, although they are mostly used to it and don't pay much attention I bet if a man tried to use an epilator he would start crying. Yeah we can be such babies. If you don't believe me, try it. But don't run back crying to me, don't say I didn't warn you. Women go through a lot of pain in their beauty treatment and that's mostly because of us. But fortunately for them they now have epilators that send mild electric shocks to the surface of the skin making the pain go away. Basically what that does is numb the skin, so you don't feel a thing when your hairs are being pulled out. Technology has advanced.

So any man out there, who is reading this, be careful when you are around a woman when she is shaving her legs, and whatever you do don't disrespect them at that moment, it may cost you your life.

Epilators - Do They Hurt?

I suppose we have all heard the horror stories about using an epilator. Can they really be that bad? Were epilators made by men to torture us women?

Hello my name is Sue and I have been using epilators for quite some time. It was probably ten or twelve years ago when I brought my first epilator. Back then, epilators worked by removing your hair with a couple of flexible springs. As these springs were flexed in and out, they grabbed your hair between the coils, and pulled it out. Were they painful? Yes, very. I am surprised my next door neighbours did not call the police thinking someone was being murdered. That first epilator was put into a bottom draw, and never saw daylight again...

Like I said that was many years ago, and thankfully, epilators have come on a long way since then. The way they remove your hair has also changed, long gone are those dreadful springs. Epilators now work by removing you hair using spinning discs or tweezers that are far gentler on your skin.

You can now buy epilators that work under water. These are great to use in the bath or shower. The hot water helps you to relax, and, open up your pores helping the epilator remove your hairs much more easily.
Some epilators come with ice packs, or, special creams, which help to reduce any discomfort you may feel whilst using them. Others come with special heads or attachments to help you reach those fiddly little places. It is also a good idea to pull your skin tight when removing your unwanted body hair.

O.K, I know what you are saying, all this innovation is great but has it helped reduce the pain? Well my answer is no. Sorry, just kidding. From my personal point of view, and, looking back to my original experience, I would have to say yes, it has. I would be lying if I said there was no pain involved at all, but, it is a great deal less than using one of those older epilators. Read what other women say, time and time again, you will see the same words appear: the more you use it the less pain you feel.

I am sure you have seen the same thing crop up again and again, in all epilator reviews; "The more you use it, the less discomfort you will feel."

I really do believe this is true.
