Admit it, most of us women do want to get rid of those unwanted hairs in our legs in the most convenient and easy way so that we can always look stunning and confident especially every time we wear our favorite heels or any shoes that necessitates exposing our smooth legs.

There are actually several ways offered in the market today to get rid of hair in our body such as epilating, waxing, threading or resorting to a light based hair removal thru the use of laser. For me, I prefer epilating because it is very handy, and is very easy to operate and most, it is not expensive.

Epilating works thru the use of a hand-held device called epilators which has a head of rotating tweezers which does the work of removing hairs as you move it gently along your body. This small machine can be used and is best for all body parts not only your legs, but also for your underarms, bikini area and face. You can get an ultra smooth result that could last even up to four weeks. You need not worry about unsightly hair regrowth. The mechanical design of epilators can remove hairs as short as 0.5mm which is so much better than waxing! As confirmed also by dermatologists, since epilation works by removing the hair at the root, it does not encourage hair to grow back darker or increase hair growth. Instead, when your hair grows back after a few weeks, you will notice that it looks finer and thinner than before.

If you have a very sensitive skin, you can still resort to epilation. You can do this while taking a bath, which is also best if you are new to using epilators as using an epilator can be painful during the first few uses. Why best? Because water helps relax your mind and minimize the pain by releasing the body’s natural pain relievers called endorphins.

Indeed, using epilators do have its pros and cons and so does every other methods of hair removal being offered. Well, we are willing to suffer some pain anyhow just to look beautiful. Who doesn’t do plucking and tweezing? You can be assured though that aside from the cons, you can be overwhelmed with long term advantages when using an epilator.

But good for us, there are already several brands of epilators out there being offered that will help alleviate the unnecessary pain or discomfort. As a general rule, it is always important to be selective of the products that we use not sacrificing the major factors such quality, usability and price. Here are the some of the few things you need to consider when buying an epilator:

• Speed

Choose an epilator that will allow you to adjust its speed. It is important since not all of our body parts have the same of amount of hair mass or even each of us do vary with the type of hair thickness. Evidently, you need to use higher speeds when shaving body parts with thicker hair and slower speeds when dealing on some delicate parts of the body.

• Power

Power is also important to consider in buying an epilator as there are epilators that are cordless and there are those also that still needs to be plugged if you want to use it. I am a very mobile person, thus I would always prefer cordless epilators which offers more portability and convenience. Just don’t forget to always bring the charger.

• Shaver

Choose epilators that comes with a built-in shaver. Of course, it’s already a plus if you can get this from an epilator which has a sleek design. Take note, these epilator shavers are far more different from that of an ordinary or standard shaver. This comes very useful when shaving delicate parts of your body.

• Accessories

Epilators being offered in the market are packed together with a variety of accessories. Since these are already freebies, be meticulous in examining the types of accessories that goes with your epilators. Choose something that is of great use to you like an epilator with a built-in skin protector or a cleaning brush for you to easily remove hairs stuck between the tweezers discs.
