I want to switch from waxing to an epilator, how do I choose one?

Waxing can also cause ingrown hairs.

There are two possibilities: either your technician isn't following the proper hair removal technique, or you're not following the post-procedure care recommendations. Exfoliation and using an enzyme powder are a must, as well as applying oils. Were you told how to care for your skin after waxing/sugaring?
If you don't do this, ingrown hairs will still occur after photoepilation, electrolysis, and mechanical epilation. It's due to the way hair grows and incorrect skin care.

Doing it myself

Self-taught? No care recommendations?
Got it...

An epilator is brutal, I had the latest Braun model. My legs were somewhat tolerable, but everything else was terribly painful and caused irritation. I don't recommend it, laser is better.

I used epilator. It's no better than waxing. Nothing beats laser so far.

I use regular tweezers for hair removal, only on my legs. I wouldn't risk it anywhere else, it's too painful.

Any kind, even the cheapest. My old Philips removes hair better than the fancy new Braun. I applied numbing cream and started the procedure 20 minutes later.

I've been using Philips for about 12 years. One lasted me about 7-8 years, then I got a second one. I'm happy with it; I do get ingrown hairs sometimes, but not many. I only use it to remove hair from my underarms and legs.

I have a Braun. Old but reliable))) I do my legs and underarms.
I wouldn't risk the bikini area

My Philips has been serving me faithfully for 13 years

Kristina Looking at Braun thermometers, the prices range from about 6000 to 18000. How do I choose?)

Kristina I probably have the cheapest one.
It comes with a lighted tweezer, a mini epilator, and a regular one.

I used to have a Panasonic that lasted 10 years. Then I got the same one, and it only lasted a year with a similar breakdown, so I won't buy them anymore, even though their movement is perfect. Now I'm using the Philips Series 8000. It's very gentle (you don't even feel it on your bikini line, and there's no irritation), it's comfortable, and I really like it.

Go for Philips or Braun!

Lena Pugacheva I've only ever had Philips. The first one lasted 10 years, the second one 15 (it still works, but a little hole drilled on the side 🙄). Now I'm using a new Philips. I haven't had Braun, but I know they're good too. Personally, I don't need extra features like massage attachments or a trimmer. It's super convenient when it works from the mains, but now I had to get one with a battery. It's really handy that it has a light – that turned out to be a super useful feature. But then I forget to charge it and have to postpone my plans for epilation for another time
