Are electric epilators painful?
Most users of electric epilators do report mild discomfort because the hairs are removed using a series of tweezers-like mechanisms that pluck them out. Often this discomfort can be soothed by using a waterproof epilator like the Xpressive Wet and Dry Body System or by preparing the skin with a stimulator like the one included in the Braun Silk-epil Xpressive Epilator. Electric epilators are preferred by most users to both individual plucking of hair and to waxing.
