Epilators, or mechanical epilators, are electrical machines that look much like electric razors, except that they have rows of coiled springs instead of razors. The idea is that turns the epilator on and run it over skin. The coils grasp the hairs and rip them out of your skin, leaving you in considerable pain but with very smooth legs that will stay smooth for a few weeks.
When the hairs are at least 1/4 inch long, people are ready to use the Epilator. As with waxing, you may need to go over areas more than once to get perfect smoothness. If people have sensitive skin, should avoid using the epilator on under-arms and face areas. On the plus side, this is far less messy than waxing and it's pretty fast. If travel a lot, taking along these little machines is easy (many now come with travel pouches). And the hair will grow back thinner and sparser.
