Epilator vs waxing?
Our take
Deciding between epilating and waxing can feel like choosing between couture gowns—each has its own charm and challenges! After a year of successful epilation, you've enjoyed benefits like reduced pigmentation and thinner hair, but now that your device has broken, you're considering your options. Waxing presents a tempting alternative, especially for a broke student seeking budget-friendly solutions. Should you opt for soft or hard wax?
I have been using an epilator for a year and it worked great, reduced pigmentation, thinner hair but it broke now I'm wondering if I should invest in an epilator again or start waxing, if waxing should I try soft wax or hard wax? because I'm not turning to razors again and getting it done outside is expensive since I'm a broke student. Epilating was very easy for me and became less painful when I did it regularly but I'm all up for trying waxing..

- Wax or epilator?Hi!! I started waxing when I was 12. I tried waxing about 4 or 5 times, but the pain was awful. I cried, I kicked, and since then I've been using a razor. But I'm fed up with the thickness of the hair, the increasing amount, and the hassle of shaving 3 times a week. My mother had a Braun epilator that she used (before anything else, before we both use the epilator, we make sure to thoroughly clean the heads). I think I'm not risking myself by saying that the epilator is from the 1990s. It's a great epilator, but I can only do from the middle of my leg to a little above the knee. Ankles, bikini line, left side of my thighs are hell. I don't want to buy a new epilator; if I use one, I want to use this one. But I'm wondering: do you think it's better to try waxing again or try to get more used to the epilator? And if I'm going to get used to the machine, are there any tips to make the hair removal process less painful? Thank you! submitted by /u/Grungerock_lover [link] [comments]
- People who choose waxing specifically over laserI'm a waxing girl and have been for 15 years. It's not something I want to give up, so I know nobody can make me, but every time I go to get my chin lasered (plucking did not work, made the hair coarser), the lovely lady tells me to get everywhere lasered. I specifically have a fear of dragging a razor over my labia, it's not something I'll ever do and I've told her so, but she insists the results will be amazing. What is the kindest thing I can say, as I still have about six or seven sessions remaining with her... Also tell me your experiences with waxing and why it's something you'll stick to, despite most people choosing laser as the superior option these days.
