Are you curious about epilation as a hair removal method? I was too, so I took the plunge and bought an epilator - the Braun Silk-Epil Beauty Set 9-995 from Amazon, which I'm reviewing here.

Epilation removes hair from the root. An epilator looks at first glance slightly similar to an electric razor but it's actually very different. An epilator has a series of automated tweezers which plucks hair as you guide it over your skin. I could literally see the hair root from hair that it removed from my armpits! This product is rechargeable, so after each use you plug it in with the provided adapter plug.

I'll mention a bit about the product first, and next I'll cover what to expect from this hair removal method, including whether it hurts! I'll also talk about the pros and cons of this particular product (yes, there are both).

If you are considering epilating, you're probably wondering if there is pain as the epilator plucks out unwanted body hair. The answer is that it varies greatly based on the body part you're epilating (more on this below). I have experience with this method of hair removal, having started epilating for many months now. I tend to grow hair quite quickly so I'm the perfect guinea pig for this!

I tried out the epilator on all my body parts so whatever body part you plan on epilating, I've tried it! I've listed the various body parts a bit further along and what you can expect.
