Epilady Legend 4 | Cordless Epilator Hair Removal Device for Women, 2 Speed Bikini Trimmer, Electric Shaver for Women, Rechargeable Body Hair Remover

I've tried other brands, and this is my favorite! I'm just buying my 3rd one. Eventually, the internal battery dies. I have twice written to the company for a replacement charge cord, and they shipped me one gratis extending product life! My current one needs replacing. As I'm buying it, Amazon told me that I purchased my last one in 2019! So, I definitely got my money's worth out of it. I've used epilators since in my 30s, I'm now in my late 50s. My hair growth on my legs and bikini is finer and softer after years of use. Most is barely visible although I do get random dark stubble on my legs if I don't use it once a month. My underarms are very soft and hair growth is very fine and barely visible. I have not had much pain other than initially and found it easily tolerable. Bikini area is sensitive, of course. The more you use it the better it is tolerated. I believe it is a great purchase!!!

It took me more than 15 years, but I had finally worn out my prior epilady (rechargeable battery just wouldn't hold very long). I love the Epi and it is great to have a new one that buzzes away even the smallest stub of hair. I use the Epi on my face and legs. It performs exactly as promised and without pain. Came with a nice zippered pouch that holds Epi, cord, and a little cleaning brush so I can store it easily in small bathroom drawer. My prior one didn't have the pouch and the cord could get messy in the drawer.So nice to buy something that does not disappoint.

I've been a regular waxer for many years. When I had a baby a year ago and we decided to live off one income (mine) and salon waxes were immediately off the table. But I wasn't ready to start shaving again, especially as I have very sensitive skin and get major rashes if I shave my thighs or bikini area.I started waxing at home instead of going to the salon. I found it messy and I think a bit more painful than the salon. Plus I'm just not that good at it--I never got the same results as at a salon. Half the time I'd rip wax off and see most of the hair left behind. And it makes a sticky mess too.I telling a friend from work about my hair removal plight and joked about getting the old Epilady from tv commercials. My friend surprised me by saying her sister used an Epilday and loved it. Why not look into it, I thought?I read all the reviews here and I'm glad I did. The aggregate of what I learned was that the Epilady is less painful than waxing but also kind of a slow process. I did notice when I tried it out that the Epilady is more of a pinchy or needle-like pain as compared to waxing pain which feels more like a burning or slapping sensation. Since you're removing fewer hairs at a time, overall the Epilady is quite a bit less painful than waxing but definitely takes longer.My main complaint about the Epilady is how long it takes to use it. I expected this after reading other reviews, and they are all correct. It takes 20 minutes to do a decent job and longer if you've let it go for awhile. I think the woman who says she does it every Sunday and takes about 30 minutes to do, probably has the right idea.If you're looking for an alternative to home waxing, I think the Epilady is a great option. I think it's easier to reach backs of legs with the Epilady than with wax, and it's definitely not as messy as wax. All you get is a little drift of your plucked hairs below the leg.The biggest drawback to using the Epilady is that it's time consuming, but it's sort of a soothing grooming ritual, so if you make time and space for it, I think you'll enjoy it as I have. I'm also a VERY impatient person, so I'm not sure this would annoy others as much as it annoys me.Certainly spending $60 once on the Epilady is a bargain compared to salon waxing, or even to $10-$15 a pop for home wax kits. I think this is probably my favorite method of hair removal unless I decide to invest major $$ into laser removal. Imperfect, but the best of the bunch I've tried.

This baby takes some getting used to, and definitely requires trial and error as well as patience! The first time I used this, it left a red rash all over my legs that took a day or two to go away. I realized after that I had tried to epilate lag hair that was not quite long enough, which ended up in me just rubbing and rubbing my skin with the epilator which caused irritation. The second time was much more of a success, and I only did one leg on one day, and the other leg the next day. I let my hair grow out a lot more the second time, and the epilator took the hairs right out! There was and still will be a little redness/red bumps each time I epilate, but since I learned how to use the epilator correctly, the redness goes away in the same day.A few TIPS to newbies: When you first open your epilator, read the instructions FIRST before anything. This is my first epilator and I'm so glad I took the time to read the instructions and other reviews on here. This epilator requires at least 12 hours of non-stop charging before the first use. 12 HOURS. Yes, you read that right. Just like a new phone, it needs to be charged fully before using and to increase the battery life. (Also, the light on the front stays red when plugged in, even when fully charged for 12 hours. It doesn't ever turn a different color than red unless it's turned off/unplugged.) So set a timer or keep track on your own and don't rely on the light to alert you. After your first or second use, or whenever you start to feel the epilator lose power or sound like it's becoming more quiet/dying, just plug it back in. Other charge times won't take 12 hours and you can use the epilator while plugged in as well.HOW TO USE: Another tip is to hold the epilator so the letters are upside down (obviously lol), with the more open end of the V shaped blades facing the opposite way your hairs grow. (So for legs, basically starting at ankles and working upwards in circular motions.) Circular motions seem to work best and may have to be slower or faster circles on different areas of the body. Sometimes you'll have to go over a spot more than once to get stubborn hairs. This is a very lengthy process, and can take up to an hour or more for both legs depending on your comfort levels. You may have redness for a couple hours afterwards as well, so DO NOT epilate your body right before...or even the same day as a hot date! :P Give yourself time and space.PAIN: I try to always use the epilator after a hot shower on dry skin, so my hairs and skin are more flexible, which decreases pain. Speaking of pain...this is not for sissies! It helps to try to hold skin tightly or pull skin in opposite direction/stretch skin of epilator. I would rate this at about a 6 or 7/10 pain level for legs, and about a 9/10 for armpit...I have not been brave enough to try on my bikini area. The more you use an epilator, the more used to it you become and the less painful it feels. I'm also aware that a week or so before a woman's period, her skin is a lot more sensitive, which can be even more painful. So be considerate of yourself and your schedule! A good test for pain before buying an epilator is to take a tweezers and try plucking a leg or armpit hair, or any hair that that you plan on epilating. This is similar to the feeling of using an epilator, because it literally plucks your hairs out. (Which is why it works so well!)RESULTS: I have gotten pretty great results from my epilator and I only have to use it about once a month on my legs (and my hair grows FAST...let me tell you!) There have been little stray hairs that I just have to shave off later that day, but the epilator gets about 98% of hairs for me at least. My skin is so smooth! After the redness and red bumps fade that is. It's also great to apply a non-irritating body moisturizer to areas after epilating.
