I have fine hair that grows on my legs and underarms. Which epilator is best for fine hair?

Has a small head. Best use is for face, underarms and arms. Legs take forever because of the smaller head size.

It is going to take a very long time if you only use the epilator to remove leg hair, and it will only be (relatively) smooth if you've done two things: 1) Let the hair GROW OUT. I mean really. Like wear only leggings for 2 and a half weeks. That's the only way you can guarantee that all of the hairs have grown long enough to be grabbed by the epilator (or even wax, for that matter). 2) Give your legs a GOOD exfoliation BEFORE you wax/use the epilator. That ensures that no hairs are trapped under a thin layer of skin -which creates bumps- and that you are actually removing the hairs, not just dead skin. Be careful not to over-do the exfoliation because then your skin will be very sensitive and want to heal - not what you want when ripping out thousands of tiny hairs. Like I commented above, I always wait about a day and then shave after I've done the epilator/wax. This makes my legs smoother and keeps my skin from growing back over the removed hair follicles. This is a system I've found to work really well for myself - everyone's hair/skin will be different, of course. Also, if you're serious about hair removal, WAX. It goes 10x faster. You can use the epilator afterwards if you want/have the time, to grab those tiny hairs the wax didn't get. But really for a quick lots-of-hair-removal, it's the best, because it takes it all away. Then you can shave (not immediately after, the skin is too sensitive) to make the skin smoother. I've mentioned all this in a comment above, as well. Hope this helps!

There is a precision trimmer that slides out the rear similar to those on previous Norelco models for sideburns, nose hairs, etc. if that is what you mean by a body groomer.It is noisier than on my previous shavers, but works very well.

Honestly it works best on coarser hair. Ive managed to remove all underarm hair before.

Yes. From what my boyfriend has said, it should be used for shorter hairs because if the hair is too long, it may get tangled and be pulled out. I would not suggest using the epilating attachment for that though.

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.

I have fine hair, I continue using it to keep my hair thick. I use it more around my edges.

Judy, unless you have a "very, very" high pain threshold, I definitely would advise against using the epilator on your face. This appliance literally pulls the hair out, one by one. Using it on your extremities can be painful enough: using it on your face may be unbearable.

Yeah, as a matter of fact, it seems the Bodygroom does the best job on the legs of all bodyparts. I've had mine for over a year and the legs are the easiest bodyparts to do with it.

Depends upon the area I'm treating and how much time I have. Usually 30 or so for my face and 50 or so for my legs. I've treated my underarms with about 20 pulses each FIVE times and have (almost) completely eliminated the hair there. (I am a fair skinned brunette so it works well for me.)

I use this epilator on almost every area on my body. I can't rate the pain range bc I've high pain tolerance. It hurts the most on the first try but trust me it gets less painful every time And yes it works magic for the underarm hair.

Yes, you use it like an electric razor. You place it onto your skin and with light to medium pressure, you make small circles to "catch" all hairs. After you've done an area of about 2-3 inches, clean the epillator with the enclosed brush and continue till finished. It will take longer when doing legs. Hope this helps.

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.

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!!!!

May be 1 inch or so? I prefer to have little bit longer hair on the legs before using it. I guess it's because it's so much pain to do it on the legs and I would want to wait til the last min before I need it. For my under arms, it doesn't hurt at all. I will do it whenever I feel like I want to be clean. I would say I use it on my underarms once a week and legs twice a month.

You can certainly use an epilator for the bikini area and beyond. Just choose one that is smaller and easily fits into the area to be epilated. Also trim the area first and take some tylenol!
