Epilator - Remington

I finally bought myself a freakin epilator lol. I didn't know if I would really like it or not, so I just bought myself a cheap one from Walgreens. It was $29.99 and it came out to $32.26 with tax.
Remington Epilator
Here is my full-on review.

Good
- lightweight
- 2 settings. One for fine hair and the other for thick hair
- I don't have to replace batteries because it comes with a cord. I know others find corded stuff is pretty inconvenient, but I find batteries inconvenient too :( Although if it was rechargeable that would probably be much better. (Also much pricier)
- 42 tweezer thingies to pull your hair out.
- Curved. Great for legs and arms if you don't like hair on your arms.

Bad
- Corded. Now that I realize I would rather get a rechargeable one, I feel the cord is a burden. How am I supposed to epilate during bus rides? Lol jk.
- This one that I have is a bit too wide to use on my underarms and since it's curved, I feel like it's not really getting ALL the hairs. Unless I press really hard which in this case hurts because the tweezers end up pinching my skin instead.
- Clean up is a hastle. Hair falls everywhere. Be prepared for a rainfall of hair. If you have carpet, then put some paper towel on the floor or something. Or you can cut up plastic bags and lay them on the floor while you epilate yourself lol.

Pain
My tolerance for pain is, I guess, moderate. I don't really wax my legs/arms on a regular basis. Actually I only waxed my arms 2x and my legs 1x. I've never waxed my underarms before so if you can imagine my surprise when that epilator pulled the first strand.. haha.
- Legs: It wasn't that bad, but it wasn't pleasant either. It felt like exactly what it is: you plucking out your leg hairs. One by one. The inner part of my calves are more sensitive than the outer part, so it felt more like little pinches. Or ant bites!
- Thighs: Ehh.. it wasn't as bad as my inner calves lol.
- Arms: Ehh.. it wasn't as bad as my thighs lol.
- Underarms: HOLY CRAP YOU GUYS! Hahaha! I have never in my life imagined pain like that!!! This one felt like torture. The hair on my underarms grow faster than those on my arms or legs, so I shave this area more often. Which means the hair is not as thin in this area as other parts. Lol my epilator would attempt to pull a strand out and it would only come out half way! So I would have to do over again those parts that pulled only half out. It hurts so much :( I also couldn't get all the hairs out cus it kept pinching my skin. When I did stop, I went to the bathroom and put warm water on a paper towel. I thought this would calm down the pain. After that, it felt uncomfortably dry. SO I put lotion. BIGGEST MISTAKE EVER! It burned so much. I couldn't put my arms down lol. I thought maybe if I used the Vaseline lotion instead it would help, so fortunately I owned one that has pure oat extract which is used to calm down irritated skin. Didn't work either. I ended up putting bio oil there lol. That calmed it down finally. Ayiyiyi.. lol. Lesson learned. No lotion after you epilate.

I'm not gonna stop epilating on my underarms though, because maybe it's only like this the first time. Hopefully. I'll wait til they all start to grow back again to epilate. It's gonna take a while since they all got pulled out from the root. Best part about this though, no more razor burns, buying razor heads, shaving cream, etc etc. And of course, the hair grows back thinner every time. Booyah!

Maybe I'll invest in a cordless epilator next time around.

Have fun epilating <3
