It is really interesting that with the first use, the pain was tolerable. I had tried another, cheaper one before and I suffered, so I preferred the classic painless razor. However, tired from years of daily use, I thought of giving another chance to an epilator. After market research, I chose this particular model. It is worth someone to spend a decent amount to receive something of quality. While I cannot tolerate pain, nor do I use wax, the first contact was unexpectedly good! The pain was tolerable, you don't suffer, the irritation is normal, and personally, I hardly had any. This particular model is specially designed to greatly facilitate the process! Also, great aesthetics, as if it has glitter and it doesn't show in any photo. The additional attachments are also very useful. Honestly, I highly recommend it to a woman who has never used an epilator before and is determined to adopt this method.
