Remington Smooth & Silky Total Coverage Epilator, Electric Tweezing System, Pink, EP7010E

The media could not be loaded. So it’s definitely uncomfortable to use, no surprise there. I am chunky like super chunky and I have lost weight so I have some extra skin and if you don’t pull your skin tight it can kinda snag some loose skin an give you the pinch of a life time! Plus size problems lol. I used it on my legs and tried my under arms. Legs were easy went slow and it did a good job! I just shaved the day before yesterday so my hair was super short. Under arm was most difficult and painful. But not completely impossible. Video is of my skin on legs after use. Red spots are from where hair was pulled out.

With a different brand I could do this once and go for WEEKS without ANY hair regrowth, and it really only hurt the first time. This one, however, I can use it and have a thick growth days later, as if I had just manually shaved. It doesn't pluck well: a ton of breakage, no matter the length of the hair, and this results in a lot of pain each time--as though each time is my first, extremely painful time--as breaking is generally more painful than the actual plucking. It never gets better with this model.Also, WARNING: There is a "cover", but it doesn't cover the rollers, and these rollers--no matter how lightly the epilator is pressed against your skin--cause friction burn and bleeding, while unfortunately, still not doing it's job.This all results in pain. Pain while not actually doing any good. Not when you have to shave again manually days later after letting your armpits heal.I'm just really glad I missed my return window so the raccoons at the landfill get the chance to enjoy it as much as I did.

Complete change of review. My first review was written when I really didn't understand how to use this. I was epilating my armpits very well after the first few months, but I just figured it out for my legs -- 10 months after purchase. But that's really only about 10 uses later, so that's how I'm justifying the delay. ;)I only the epilator about once a month for my legs. I kept breaking hairs as I epilated, because I wasn't correctly holding my skin taut enough as I epilated. I finally figured that out this last time, and my legs are finally perfectly smooth, no broken hairs (which caused the stubbly feel after epilation). I figured my problem was user error, but I was starting to look around at different epilators, to see if maybe I could more easily use a different style epilator. But now that I've got it figured out, I will not be wasting the money to replace this.First, I soaked in the tub for half an hour. So boring, but thank the Lord for books! I got out, dried off, and got to work on the bath mat. There is always a little initial pain when I start epilating, but I just grit my teeth through the first bit. Then, my body realizes I'm not being injured, and it's all okay. I hold the epilator at a 90° angle, pull the skin taut, and get to work. Since I can go two weeks to a month between sessions with this (depending on where I'm epilating), I will never go back to shaving and having to do my armpits daily and my legs every couple of days.Quick tip for post-epilation: I apply a little jojoba oil to soothe my skin afterwards.

This is my first and only epilator so far, so I don't have much to compare it with. I bought this to use mainly on my neck and chin hair that is particularly tenacious. I am not new to hair removal and have tried everything on this area so far. Depilatory creams work, but I get a rash and they smell. Threading hurts A LOT, shaving didn't last longer than a day, and waxing was just getting expensive to do on a weekly basis. I decided to try epilation. I am new to that.For my fellow newbies, epilation isn't like shaving because unlike shaving, epilators pull the hair out of skin rather than cutting the hair at the base. Epilator heads basically have a bunch of tweezers on them, and tweeze the hair out when you run the across the designated area. I was told that you epilate against the grain of the hair and have found that that works on arms and legs. Epilation in either direction seems to work for neck and chin hair that sort of grows in all directions.This epilator is small and easy to handle. Another reviewer said that she/he got a used one by mistake, so I will say that the new box looks metallic purple in color and has the epilator (as you see it on Amazon.com) encased in a plastic case that protrudes from the box. My epilator came with pictorial instructions, a wall plug and cord that connects to the epilator, as well as a two-headed brush to clean out the tweezer head. The head itself can be popped off to clean. When the head pops off, there is a small disc on the underside that can be turned manually so that the tweezers can be individually cleaned with the brush. I know that some epilators are battery operated but this one plugs directly into the wall. The cord is technically long enough to plug into a wall by the sink and then epilate sitting on the floor below, but when I tried that there was a bit of tension in the cord, so if you have a closer outlet, that is helpful. Not a short cord, per sé, but it could be longer.Actually using the epilator was pretty easy. You just hold it at a 90 degree angle to the hair and run it across the area. It has two speeds, medium and fast. I found that it was good to start on medium speed because it was my first time. You don't need to push into the skin but you do need to hold the skin taut. It gets a lot of really long hair but sometimes breaks the hair. I have just been running it over the same area a second time and it's been fine. It seems like this epilator doesn't generally pick at skin and make it bleed, If I run it over areas that have no hair it just buzzes and leaves that area alone. However, I do bleed when I run it over areas that have hair and acne. I have to wait for the acne to dry out/clear up in order to use the epilator. Maybe people who are epilator veterans know this, but I didn't. Oops.The difficult thing with any sort of hair removal is that there will be pain, but I find this to be less painful than threading (by a lot!). Another one of the reviewers suggested using a face wash before chin epilating, and I find that that works for me. It keeps the area clean and dry and makes epilation easier. I also put aloe on right after epilation and have seen only a few red bumps on my skin because of it. They still come, but not many.In general, the epilator seems to work on small areas if you want thorough hair removal. I haven't had much success on large areas like legs, although the epilator has thinned the hair in those areas. Perhaps my lack of success comes from my being a novice. Perhaps a more experienced person knows more tricks. I don't know. It also seems a good idea to have a tweezer handy to catch those few refractory hairs that the epilator justdoesn't catch.Good luck, and I hope that this review was helpful. I bought this product through the help of detailed reviews and hope that I could return the favor.

I had a Remington that lasted me for years. I don’t like this one because my actual skin sometimes gets caught in it when I use it under my arms. My old one never did that
