How to Choose the Right Epilator for You
Step1
When choosing an epilator, it's important first to consider if you will be using it on your face, legs, or both. Different epilators are made for different parts of the body, some are designed for all parts. One with a small base can be easier to use on a small area such as the face. Make sure the epilator you choose is approved for the part of the body you want to use it on.
Step2
Think about the money you want to spend. The price of an epilator can range from under twenty dollars to over a hundred dollars and everywhere in between. Once you determine your budget for your epilator, you can narrow down your choices, making it easier for you to decide.
Step3
Check reviews on the Internet. www.target.com, for example, has a great selection of epilators and lots of reviews. Take the time to read what others have to say about the one you are considering. If you are planning to purchase one in a store, see if it is available online first and if there are reviews of it.
Step4
Determine your pain tolerance. Like it or not, an epilator takes hair out of you from the root and you will feel it. Women will describe the experience anywhere from a "slight tingling" to "worst pain ever." This can also be calculated depending on the area on which you plan to use it. For example, your underarms are going to be more sensitive than your legs.
Step5
If you have friends who have one, ask them for their opinions. Perhaps they will let you try it out. If you like it, it may be the one to consider. If price is in question, see if you can get a similar epilator as a lesser price.
