Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

My husband bought me this epilator about a month ago to celebrate my third trimester of pregnancy--the trimester where you can no longer bend over every day to shave your legs and generally feel very furry and helpless. Well, I do at least. I'd been using another brand epilator since my pregnancy began--preparing for the day when I could no longer comfortably shave every day. That epilator was just not working very well anymore--I'd had it for probably 10 years and used it on and off. The pain with that epilator made me shrink away from it unless absolutely necessary--like during pregnancies. However, I like to think I'm kind of tough. So I thought that if the pain of my old epilator was so bad that I didn't love it, then why are epilators so popular and how can so many other people use them over and over again? I jumped on Amazon and started reading epilator reviews to try to get some insight. When I came upon this listing, I noticed that it not only had the highest rating, but reviewers talked about how it wasn't has painful as other epilators. Then I noticed in the description that there is a "gentle" setting for less pain and then a higher setting for once you get used to having hair ripped from your body. I asked my husband to spend the high dollars for this epilator in exchange for having his third baby in a row and he obliged. The first time I used it, I could see what all the fuss was about! I had practically NO pain at all. It was thorough and I only needed to do one or two passes to get all of the hair--little hair and long hair. One of my favorite things about it is that it comes with a stand. I can leave it plugged in on my bathroom vanity and remove it as-needed to get stray hairs. I don't need to go through the big effort of finding my other one in my cupboard, making sure it's charged, and using it, then putting it away. Nope. This one stays out. You don't need the cord to use it, so I can take it anywhere...even in the shower. I'd never epilated. my armpits before and I've been really wanting to. I wouldn't dare go close to that sensitive area with my old epilator. But, this one was so pain-free on my legs, that I thought I'd give it a shot. I took the epilator into the shower so that I could get the pores as open as possible in hot water. It wasn't easy and there was some pain, but it was manageable. I did both sides! The key for me is just to take a deep breath out every time you make a pass with the epilator. Two weeks later, my legs and arms are smoother than they've been after years of shaving and using my old epilator. I'm hooked!!! This package also comes with a shaver, which has a 5mm length, and a facial brush for your face. I use a manual brush every time I was my face, so I'm accustomed to hard scrubbing. This is a gentle scrub. So far, my skin looks very clear. I love not having to use the manual brush! And that little device you can use in the shower, too! All in all, this was an awesome gift from my husband and I'm so happy to be so smooth in my final pregnancy trimester!
