Can I use an epilator for a Brazilian instead of waxing?

If I understand correctly a Brazilian is the pubic hair area. This area is very sensitive to pain. So I would trim a small area of the pubic hairs shorter first and then spray with Bactine. Try a test area first.

Yes! You can use this amazing device on any part of your body, and I think it hurts less than the waxing. Just take it slow and use the lower speed.

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 can barely see my toes to polish them myself, so I wouldn't dare to experiment on myself to find out if bikini waxing is something I could do for myself without consequence. As far as the Brazilian, according to all medical reports they are quite unhealthy for us to sport in so many ways for so many reasons, so I wouldn't know nor care to experience a TOTAL removal of what I've got down there.This wax is excellent for use on the face. But then again, if there are bits left behind (as occasionally there are) they are easily reached to removed.

I don't see why not and it would definitely get rid of sandpaper stubble!. However, this particular model is rather large. For legs and other areas it really saves on time but if you're really interested in one for your face, I'd look at a smaller epilator. They make different ones for small areas like men's faces that are much more precise.

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.

No, the epilator takes longer to use then shaving your legs. I would say at least 15-20 minutes to have good results.

There will always be ingrown hair issues with epilators (or waxing, or any other method of hair removal that removes the hair below the skin surface area) It is not specific to this model and will occur with all types. The amount of ingrown hairs is more determined by your skin and hair type. Regular exfoliation and scrubbing of the skin with a loofah after epilating will help reduce the incidence of ingrowns. Unfortunately there will probably always be some and they need to be managed appropriately. Personally Ive found the thigh area to be most prone to them, although again it depends on the hair type.

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.

I've definitely seen an increase with ingrown hairs from both epilating and waxing. Can't speak specifically to under my arms; that's far too painful area for me to try epilating! Exfoliating should help with ingrown hairs.

You can use it for a full brazilian wax, just make sure to clean the area first and then use a thin layer of talcum powder. The talcum powder is extremely helpful in eliminating any moisture. Hairs should be at least 1/4" long if you have waxed before and t least 1/2" long if it was never waxed or if that area has been previously shaved.

I tried it on my leg and it hurt like hell (using the epilator head). I think that bikini area might hurt even more, I have used it with the regular razor headpiece and it worked like a regular electric shaver, I would not recommend the epilator....unless you have a high pain threshold (apparently I do not in this case).

No. It can't. The face's skin is very sensitive and the way that this machine works it will be very painful and may damage your skin. I am a woman (I'm the one who bought it on my husbands account) and my advice to you, if you don't want to spend a lot of money, use warm wax, one that says brazilian biki wax. I use it on my face (eyebrows) and it works very good. It's the kind of wax that you can use either on your face or body. You warm it up in your microwave according to instructions and apply it with a stick. You can find this wax on Sally Beauty Supply stores.

It would be a waste of your money to use this on the legs, it would take so much and this isn't cheap, nor is it designed for the legs, there is cirepil, that is a soft wax that is great for the legs.. I have been using this hard blue wax for 16 yrs and it's the best for Brazilian/bikini and face.. I hope this was helpful Debi owner: of Bushwackers Waxing Studio.. Salem, Oregon

No, it says so on the box that you can use for the bikini line but not a full brazilian wax. Sorry.
