Remington EP-5000 Essentials Epilator

I have to admit that the first time I used this product as an epilator I was clenching my teeth because of the burning sensation of hair being pulled from my leg! But once you get used to it, it becomes more bearable and easier to use. Also, the razor head is really great! I had assumed I would get at the most a mediocre razor since this is primarily sold as an epilator, but the razor attachment works better than other electric razors I have owned in the past (a much closer shave in less time). And this is much more convenient because you can either charge it up and use it cordless, or you can use it with the cord (which I always end up having to do because I'm lazy and forget to charge it).

I have used a form of Epilator for 18 years. I have used a Remington Epilator for 10 years. The hair on my legs does not grow much anymore. What does come in is very light soft & can't be seen & is soft to the touch.

With Summer nearing I was dreading having to shave every day because my legs get irritated easily. Being Hispanic I have a lot of leg hair so I figured I'd give it a try. I have seen a reduction on the amount of hair on my lower legs. Of course you feel the pulls of the depilator when it pulls your hairs, but I take my time and it is not unbearable. I find that I was able to depilate the front of my legs but not the back of my legs as it was too painful. I do recommend to depilate at night because your legs will get irritated and a little red. Love this product and the extra head for touch ups.
