It is the same result. However it is better than waxing since there is no mess.

I returned it because it wasn't pulling out hair.infact I have resorted back to waxing.poor product.

I prefer epilating. Waxing is super messy! Also, you don't have to be buying waxing supplies!

Well waxing is quicker so the pain is only an instant and you can get a bigger patch of hair. However it is messier (especially if you do it yourself), and expensive. The results are similar.I love the epilator, because I can just whip it even for those stray hairs. The pain is slightly more annoying but you get used to it.

I've never waxed so I don't know. Epilating is worth trying because you just turn on the epilator; there's nothing else to mess with. It definitely works better if you keep your legs scrubbed to loosen ingrown hairs, but I imagine it's the same with waxing.

The part that you use for your legs can be used on the bikini line. Please make sure that the hair is really short because the longer the hair, the more discomfort is felt. However, if you use the enclosed part for exfoliation and then use the epilator the next day, the pain should not be that bad. Also, the more you use the epilator, the better it feels and hardly any pain is felt. Try to use wet the first time. Once you use the epilator the first time, you will stay virtually hair free for weeks. Much better than shaving. You'll be happy. Just get through the first time. There is a separate piece for exfoliation and for the epilator. You will use both parts for all of the parts you want to shave. The part that you use for your legs can be used on the bikini line.

I put the whole can in a pot and let the water boil to get the wax hot but today I threw it out because it is not easy to work with. I'll have to try something else, I only did chin and lip and it didn't really take off the hair. Maybe it will work better for you.

Yup, don't recommend it. Great everywhere else. There is another one I have that works good there, it is narrower. It is a little better, but I think for that area wax works best, quick and less pain.

I bought mine for this purpose, but it does not remove all hairs- I had to end up tweezing most of the hairs after. Wax strips work better and faster than this.

YESSSSS!!!!! Thats why I only used it once! I'll keep it for the trimmer aspect, but I won't used the epil part on my legs ever again. I have thick coarse hair on my legs, almost all of them came back ingrown and it took forever to get rid of those red bumps. It works well for me on the face though.

Oh hell no. That's what I bought it for---nothing. Did nothing. EMLA works but is expensive. (It's worth it though) I haven't had luck with anything else for waxing pain other than EMLA.

The only time hair grows back thinner is when its pulled from the root. So if that's a concern, tweeze, wax, epilady instead.

No. Shaving is quicker. Epilating last longer. Definitely painful at first but you don't get razor bumps. Never again have cuts. Well worth it but I do suggest getting a different one than this one. Personally loved it for the first month it worked than it stopped working without a reason.

I have primarily used the Epilady for my legs, so I can't comment on other areas. If you are accustomed to shaving, the first use will not be painless. It is similar to a waxing. But, thereafter, you mostly feel a prickly sensation, much less than plucking your eyebrows, and your hair doesn't grow back for about a month. I would choose Epilady any day over waxing or shaving. When your hair grows in, it is very fine and barely noticeable. You also don't get the itching that occurs when hair is growing in after shavng.

Hi Danni, sorry for the delay. Could you be more specific? Did you spend a long time on one session? Or have you been using it for a few of weeks and that's what you mean by 'a long time'? Are you completely new to this method of hair removal or are you dissatisfied with this particular epilator?

Next to professional waxing, it's the absolute best I've ever used. Depending on the area you are dipiliating, it is extremely effective and doesn't pull of skin. I have been using this product for years

brian this works really fine on my wife fine hair and as well as on my son's. It takes out nits very easily and leave your intact with roots without hurting much.hope this answers your question. last thing this is a really good buy :)

The balm is more for conditioning your hair with minimum control for styling. The wax is thicker than the balm and is ideal for styling and controlling stray hairs.

I used this epilator for the first time. I was thinking that it will pull out the hair from the root. However, the thin hair will break during the epilator instead of pulled out... As a result of that now i have dark colored hair instead of soft and light hair as i had before. The only advantage is its not time consuming and u clean up without burning ur skin as waxing

It is quite a longer time than shaving your legs, however, the epilator will give you a much longer lasting shave. There is a lot more to this product and the procedures that you must take to epilate. Read your directions very carefully!!!!

I think this is going to depend on the person--what type of skin you have, how coarse your hair is, etc. I can tell you that I have fewer problems with rashes now that I use an epilator than I used to have with razors, but I never had much trouble with ingrown hairs in my underarms. If you've ever gotten waxed, the effect from the epilator should be similar to that; it pulls the hairs out by the root, rather than cutting them off right at skin level.
