How to choose a female epilator

Epilator is one of the most reliable devices to get rid of excess vegetation on the body. It removes hairs with a bulb, so in the future they do not grow for several weeks, or even months. If you decide to buy an epilator, you need to know what types are, and what to consider when choosing.

Types of epilators and features of their work

There are two types of devices:

• disk;
• tweezers.

The first category includes devices in the head of which discs are installed. During rotation, they come together, grab the hairs and pull them out with the bulbs. In forceps, special plates are used. They grab and pull out the hair with pinch movements. Their effectiveness depends on how many plates are installed in the device:

1. In old budget models, 20 or less tweezers are installed. The procedure of hair removal with them is almost painless, but not very productive.
2. In standard epilators, 32-40 plates are installed. This amount is considered optimal, since it does not cause much pain and effectively removes excess vegetation.
3. Advanced devices contain up to 60 tweezers. They work fast but are painful. Equipped with cooling and massage functions.

IMPORTANT! Before and after hair removal, treat the head of the device with an alcohol-based product. This will protect against infection and inflammation.

Usually tweezers and discs are made of metal. In more expensive models, they are made of ceramics. Such devices are well suited to owners of sensitive skin.

Which epilator is better to choose: disk or tweezers

To choose, you need to know what characteristics are inherent in different types of epilators. Disk:

• quite productive and guarantees a good result, but loses to models with 40 tweezers;
• slightly traumatic, does not cause allergic reactions;
• Great for leg hair removal.

Tweezers:

• differs less pain than disk, but this applies only to devices with a small number of tweezers;
• modern models with 32 or 40 tweezers guarantee a thorough study of the hair removal area;
• copes well with hair removal in the bikini area.

It is impossible to unequivocally answer which one is better. The choice is made based on personal preferences. If a:

• the speed of the procedure is important, get a disk epilator;
• quality is priority - choose tweezers;
• there is a choice between a disk device and a 20-pincer - definitely the first - it is cheaper and more efficient;
• fluctuate between disk and 32-forceps - you should choose the second, it ensures perfect skin smoothness.

60-pincer models designed to remove dense vegetation. They do an excellent job of this task, but are quite expensive.

What to look for when choosing an epilator

When buying, we often focus on the appearance of the product. But this criterion is not basic. The main thing is technical capabilities. Satisfaction with the beautiful shape of the body and color will fade if the epilator is not effective enough or will make a lot of noise during operation. What should I pay attention to first of all?

Type of food

All devices are powered by electricity. They are equipped with a power supply. To carry out the procedure, the cord is inserted into the outlet, and the device turns on. If you plan to use the epilator exclusively at home, this is enough.

People who travel a lot should pay attention to female models with the possibility of battery power. You will have to constantly charge and change the batteries, but the extra hairs on the body can be removed even in the absence of electricity.

How many speeds

The simplest devices have one speed. They are cheap, but only suitable for thin hair. The best choice is an epilator with two or even three speeds. This will allow you to configure it to work on different parts of the body and reduce the time for the procedure.

ATTENTION! Epilation is painless at low speed, and vice versa.

Anesthesia Method

Since the hair is removed with the bulbs, the hair removal procedure is uncomfortable. But modern manufacturers have taken care to anesthetize the process. Commonly used:

1. Gel bag cooling. Devices with this function are more expensive than others and are uneconomical in terms of energy consumption. Suitable for people with a high pain threshold.
2. Skin ventilation with cold air. Suitable for sensitive skin prone to allergic reactions.
3. Vibrating massage. The most common way to anesthetize. But not recommended for delicate skin.

IMPORTANT! Buying a device without pain relief is a rash decision. The main problem with hair removal is pain during hair removal. It is because of it that many refuse this procedure altogether, preferring simple methods with a short effect. Having an analgesic regimen solves this problem.

Additional features and tips

Having dealt with the most necessary characteristics, pay attention to additional features. Various innovations and nozzles will become pleasant chips that will make the hair removal process more interesting.

Useful may be:

1. Backlight It will delight people who are accustomed to fully control the process. With her, even in the twilight, not a single hair on the body will be missed. On the other hand, the survey showed that this feature is not too much in demand.
2. Additional nozzles for armpits and bikini zone. This is an advantage for those who epilate not only their legs, but also more sensitive places.
3. Detachable head. An important point that increases the hygiene of the procedure. During epilation, the skin is damaged, microscopic wounds remain on it. An infection can get into them, leading to an inflammatory process and the formation of pustules. This can be avoided if you buy an epilator with a removable head. Before and after the procedure, it is convenient to remove and disinfect. Monoblock models in this regard lose, since they will periodically have to be returned to the service for cleaning.
4. Equipment. Most units are sold with a brush for cleaning in a kit. Another good addition will be a removable cap that protects the head from dust.
5. Possibility of carrying out the procedure in the shower. A relatively new feature that quickly became popular. Wet hair removal is convenient, as it eliminates the need to collect then hairs throughout the room. It is also noted that the pain with this procedure is less.

REFERENCE! It should be borne in mind that various know-how increases the cost of the device.

A good epilator is not cheap. If you do not want the purchased device not to be used for its intended purpose, but lying in the far corner of the table, approach the selection responsibly. A purchase is successful only if it meets all your requirements and criteria.
