epilating has changed my life

I have been fighting an uphill battle with my body hair my entire life, and have been insecure about it for as long as I can remember. I have thick, dark hair that grows on the back of my thighs and bikini line, and I couldn’t find anything that would get rid of it without irritation.

I tried shaving, waxing, creams, and at home IPL, but everything just left me with bumps and irritation. Anything that disrupted my skin barrier would leave me with dozens of ingrowns, bumps, pain, and a lot of insecurity. I was running out of removal options, so I finally caved and bought a Philips Satinelle epilator.

It definitely isn’t painless, and it takes some getting used to, but I am smooth and have 0 bumps for the first time in my life. Post epilation, my skin is red for maybe a day with minimal pain, and then it goes away and leaves me with soft and hairless skin.

I saw a lot of discouraging posts/comments regarding epilation just because of the pain, and I’m here to give a positive story about epilating, because it is so worth it. To me, the temporary pain is nothing compared to how badly razor burn and ingrowns hurt, and it has genuinely changed my life for the better.

If you’re worried about getting one, just bite the bullet and give it a try! I’m so glad I did. :)
