Never used an epilator before but does this take the same amount of time to use as shaving your legs does?

No, the epilator takes longer to use then shaving your legs. I would say at least 15-20 minutes to have good results.

No, it takes longer than shaving does. You have to go over the same area a few times in order to get most all of the hair. But I do personally think the results are a lot better than shaving.

It takes longer; particularly at first. After a while the time it takes cut down for me and it evens out for having to do it less often than shaving.

It may take more time than shaving or same but the good part is that hair will take minimum of 2 weeks or more to come back. Also it's not messy or gives you any rash or cuts like shaving does sometime.

It is quite a longer time than shaving your legs, however, the epilator will give you a much longer lasting shave. There is a lot more to this product and the procedures that you must take to epilate. Read your directions very carefully!!!!

No. Shaving is quicker. Epilating last longer. Definitely painful at first but you don't get razor bumps. Never again have cuts. Well worth it but I do suggest getting a different one than this one. Personally loved it for the first month it worked than it stopped working without a reason.

Hi!This Epilator is made for use on your legs, however they do sell a separate accessory so that you may use it on your face. It is called a "facial cap". In my opinion. This epilator is very powerful and may be just to strong for use on the face. I would strongly recommend searching facial epilators and purchasing one made specifically for that use. If you do not plan on using the epilator on your legs, this one isn't for you.Best of luck.

It does.. But honestly I wouldn't recommended it. It takes forever bc its a small epi. Also, it noticed more irritation and bumps.. Probably bc I was trying to hurry..

Absolutely, I have been using epilator for more than 10 years. It can't be even compared to razor, the skin is smooth and after you use it for a while it slows the hair growth! Now, I only use it couple of times a month on my legs because the hair takes long time to grow! I love epilation so are all of my friends. I know it can be paintful the first few times but once the skin gets used to it it's painless! The hair loses thickness which makes it easier to use with time

I had been epilating for about 6 months previous, so I may have slower regrowth, but I definitely need to epilate every week. However, my friend can get away with 2 to 3 weeks, but she's been epilating for 2 years. I believe it's a very individual need based on speed of regrowth, amount of hair and how much regrowth you can stand.

In theory it does (i managed to take some hair off on my face), but it's hard if you don't know what you're doing. I got tired of it because I didn't have the time or skill to get some results so I threw it away. It gets all sticky and messy. Also, it didn't hurt when I used it on your face but for someone reason it hurt a bit too much when I used it on my legs.

Yes. I have not found any area that it didn't work on. If this is your first time using this method, I suggest shaving the area and then using the epilator the next few days as the stubble grows back.

no, only for legs and body but there is an efficiency cap attached to the elipator that you can't take off. There is a shaving cap as well. sorry for late answer!

One cartridge lasts about 3 leg treatments for me... I did it every other week in the beginning and then just once every month for about 2 months and stopped. The results were amazing. Went from shaving every other day to shaving once every 2 weeks and the hair size was much more thin and barely noticeable. It stayed that way for about 5 months without doing the treatments anymore.

It depends on how fast or slow your hair grows. If after 2 days you can't stand it, then I would say yes. Me personally, yes, I use it after two days and this is why. Prior to purchasing it I let me leg hair grow for over a week. Drove me insane! But I had all my hair growing out so when I did use this, I got it all rather then deal with having more the next day since your hair grows in cycles. A few days later, I noticed TONS of ingrown hairs!! Omg I must have had a hundred of them! So I pluck and dug and plucked away for most of the day. I had even been using the exfoliating rags every other day! I also noticed when it pulled the hairs, most of them didn't have a root, and you know what that means....it broke the hairs rather then pull them out! Hence, the ingrowns..... so now two days is tops for me. If you leave the purple guard off, it gets right against your skin and as long as your skin is tight, it won't pinch or grab you and it pulls the hair by the root better.

I have not used it on my legs. However, I did have some coarse hair on my face and it worked very well. It can be uncomfortable when you first use it though. It will work though.

I wouldn't recommend using this product for that. You should buy something that is made specifically to do what you need. But honestly, I can't remember the last time I saw a woman use an 'electric' shaver for her legs. In my experience, most just use a regular razor.

It does a great job on legs and armpits. I'd be hesitant to use it in more tender territory, but it is far more comfortable to use than earlier generations of epilators I have tried. It works swell on facial hair (of the faint female variety, I wouldn't try it on a beard or anything) with no irritation.

YESSSSS!!!!! Thats why I only used it once! I'll keep it for the trimmer aspect, but I won't used the epil part on my legs ever again. I have thick coarse hair on my legs, almost all of them came back ingrown and it took forever to get rid of those red bumps. It works well for me on the face though.

Don't despair S. Gunnell, whenever you change shaving methods (blade, foil or Phillips rotating cutters style) it takes three weeks or more for your skin to adapt to the different methods. I myself experienced this when I switched from my old Braun to a blade, then again when I purchased this braun. I have found this to be the best electric shaver I've ever used to the point that I'm considering buying another when they discontinue this model to eventually replace my current 8995 when it wears out!I have no experience with the Pulsonic, however. I found it curious that the replacement cutter/foil is more expensive with the 8995 than the Pulsonic.(At least in my local stores) Don't despair S.

No it didn't do that at all on me. I prefer this method to tweezing and or shaving. It lasts longer than shaving or tweezing too.

No. The hair does grow back but it grows back slower and finer after each usage. I only need to use mine once a month now after the first three usages. Using the epilater is not as painful as waxing and as long as you follow the direction of making the skin tight at the area you are treating, it barely hurts. My daughter-in- law and I both love the epilater (she bought one after I recommended it).
