i have really thick hair on my legs.when i shave it, it grows back the next day, so i started waxing it.but, i dont want to wait till my hair grows back long enough to wax it again, i think that just defeats the purpose of gettin rid of the hair.plus, because my hair is thick, sometimes i have to wait till it gets at least half an inch long to wax it off so the wax can get a good enough grip to pull the thick hairs out.i want to buy an epilator, but have a few questions, and money and pain does not matter.does an epilator only take out small areas at a time? how does it work?do you just move it up and down your leg as if you were shaving with an electric shaver, and it pulls the hairs out immediately?is it a lengthly process where you have to do every little section at a time?also, do i still have to wait till my leg hair gets half an inch long, as if i am waxing,for the epilator to be able to pull it out?or can i use the epilator right when the hair grows back and is stuble?

It's tedious. You have to do one hair at a time and more than likely have to do it over and over again to kill the root. I don't think it even works. I read that long time ago on one and I see them in garage sales and such all the time, which means they don't want to hassle with them or/and they don't work.
Does Nair work?

I use an epilator on my legs and i just roll it up and down the leg at a medium speed. It has a roller thing on it so it rolls by itself and no it does not take ages. Waxing takes much longer and is messy too! Also u will be spending a lot on wax in the long term.
Buy the machine - it is great and lasts a couple of years! And it also catches the small hairs too. No gain without pain

I HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM AND I BROUGHT AN EPILATOR FOR £45 AND I HATE IT THE PAIN IS BEARABLE BUT IT TAKES WAY TOO LONG AND I GET INGROWING HAIRS USING IT WHICH HAVE SCARED MY LEGS! AND I FOUND IT ONLY LASTED 1-2WEEKS ANY WAY, NOW I JUST EXFOLIATE VIGOURUSLY BEFORE I SHAVE AND USE MENS RAZORS LIKE MATCH 3 THEY CUT CLOSER TO THE SKIN SO IT LASTS LONGER. OH N TRY AVONS HAIR MINIMISING LOTION IT REALLY WORKS!
