Which epilator is better to choose

Today, there is a large assortment of brands of equipment representing epilators on the market. Which is better to choose, if the appearance of these devices are no different from each other? To clarify the question of which epilator to choose, our research will help.

Selection criteria

The difference between the devices is in appearance, the number of nozzles, features and functions. To know which epilator is better to buy, you need to pay attention to such moments:

• principle of operation of the device;
• number of tweezers;
• principle of anesthesia;
• number of speeds;
• type of epilating head;
• type of food.

Differences of disc epilators from tweezers

Answering the question of how to choose an epilator, we must remember that each such electronic device was created with the aim to perform a single mission - to pull the hair along with its root. This is facilitated by special rotating partswhich during rotation touch each other, grab hairs and remove them. This happens with discs or tweezers, respectively, and devices are available in two or more versions.

There are the following types of epilators:

• discs can capture up to 32 hairs at a time in different areas of the body;
• tweezers are able to act in the range of 20-40 hairs.

Soropintsentznye device - this is the best choice. And the first reason - the accelerated process of depilation. But after applying the disk there is no skin allergic reaction (it is noticeable on the red spots on the skin).

How to choose a good tweezer type epilator? Here, too, there is something to think about:

1. Tweezers out of stainless steel have most epilators. Such devices are not very expensive, but they have some drawbacks - for example, the hair can be skipped or even broken off during pulling.
2. Ceramic models more expensive, but the cost of choice is justified: every hair is captured and extracted entirely. They are more suitable for sensitive skin (epilator for the intimate zone).

How does anesthesia occur?

The procedure of pulling out hairs, of course, cannot but be accompanied by unpleasant painful sensations (the epilator gives the least during the procedure for the legs). But some manufacturers are looking for how to minimize such discomfort - choose your options.

1. Use of the device while taking a bath. Here you can connect and shaving foam, which pre-soften the skin. Yes, and water jets well dull the pain. This is a very frequent feature if the hero of the story is an epilator for home use.
2. A painless process is possible and when cooledFor this, a helium mini-container is applied from the epilator itself to the treated skin area, which has previously been in the refrigerator. Also suitable for an ice pack or a towel dipped in cold water. And in the set, Brown even has a special cooling mitten, which must first lie down in the refrigerator.This turns the device into an epilator for intimate places.
3. Airflow, for which some epilators from the Philips brand have an additional unit that supplies a stream of cold air to the area being treated.

4. Vibromassage relax the skin and reduce the pain (in this case, you can use the epilator for the bikini area). This is noted in Braun epilators. Usually vibromassage is performed either with the help of a built-in roller massager, or with the help of a massage brush, which have the best feedback. With the help of castors or rigid bristles, they go in front of the tweezers (or disks) and prepare the skin for the subsequent procedure.
5. Can I advise exfoliator. It helps to simultaneously remove the top horny layer, and lift the hair above the surface. In the absence of such functionality, it is possible to treat the skin with a scrub or a hard washcloth the day before. Before the procedure itself, this cannot be done - microcracks will appear and the surface is injured.

Often, manufacturers in their own label blocks anesthesia.You may notice the following inscriptions: Satinelle Sensitive in Philips, Silk-épil (SE) in Braun and Epil Active in Rovent.

It is believed that it is best to purchase options with a massage brush - all other methods, although they create ease of use, can not be the key to its success.

Working epilating head

There have been a lot of commercials recently that praise floating head. We are talking about such a detail that moves in different directions, which allows you to remove hairs in the most different curves of the body.

This feature is in demand in the popliteal area and in the bikini area. This epilator is also great for depilating underarms.

Usually this item is recessed or removable. It is better to prefer the second option - this advantage can be assessed in terms of ease of cleaning and disinfection. Hygiene during the depilation process will minimize the possible risks from the procedure. The removable head can be simply rinsed under running water - this will increase the service life of the device itself, because even with the supplied brush it is impossible to clean all the hairs stuck in the tweezers.

Is speed important at work?

The speed switch is not needed to quickly finish the event started. It turns out that for each type of hair is preferable to its own speed limit.

1. On first digit The switch is worth stopping when removing thick and tough hair. This speed can be used when working in the armpits. But the Slow mode is not suitable for long hairs - they will just pull them out.
2. Normal or second speed usually fit for hair with a more normal length. In this case, they are well captured and pulled out along with the root with one sharp jerk.
3. Fast or fast speed relevant to accelerate the entire procedure (respectively, reduces its pain). The intimate moment of the body part of the epilator will work perfectly just at that speed.

How will the device be fed

Usually food will go from the mains or battery. The choice in favor of the second should be made if you constantly have to go on long trips. However, you should immediately get ready for the fact that often mobile batteries work in the range from 30 to 40 minutes.Here it is already important to calculate whether this time is enough for holding the planned event.

There is also an improved quality option when two power sources are connected in one device. Such a device will cost much more, and belongs to the category of "premium".

Additional functions

How to choose the right epilator? What kind of "bells and whistles" are needed, and which are not in this, in fact, small device? For example, users find it very important presence of backlight, which will help not to miss even very thin hairs. In some models, the backlight for epilation can also be viewed in a mirror (very comfortable when working with armpits).

However, there is another “opposing” camp, in which they complain that the additional lighting at the epilator only hinders. They assure here: it is quite possible to do without the designated function, which increases the zeros in prices - you just need to do the depilation in a well-lit place.

Nozzle Kits

These devices are not present in every model, but some epilators have special attachments for underarms and for bikinis. They are needed to cover part of the tweezers.Thus, the amount of pain decreases. Nozzles are also labeled differently:

• Philips Bikini Perfect (epilator for the bikini zone);
• Silence Bikini at Roventa (epilator for deep bikini).

Very often it is the presence of such attachments many times increases the price of the device itself. However, the purchase of equipment may remain unclaimed, because the pain in such delicate places only increases, and the nozzle is not too necessary.

There is another interesting version of the nozzle - it is intended for shaving. Often it is used by those women who have not been able to overcome the pain threshold and want to return to the old methods of removing excess vegetation.

Another option "razor" nozzles - epilator trimmer. Such a nozzle can only partially shave and align the hairline. Often it is used to create intimate hairstyles, but in most cases, such a life hack is simply unclaimed.

And we can not say about the nozzle "for newbies". Externally, it is similar to the one used for intimate places, and the principle of operation is almost the same (the nozzle is put on over the working head and closes part of the tweezers). She also pulls out only part of the hairs.It should be understood that after using such a attachment, a part of vegetation will remain on the body - hence, the logical question is: is it worth buying an epilator with such a attachment or is it much better to “start” with tweezers?

Reviews of the best models

This section of our analysis is based on feedback from real users. It is usually worth asking “advise an epilator” on any of the thematic forums, as experienced experts are always ready to help. So, choose the epilator, based on the capabilities of reputable brands.

So which firm's device is better than others? Here is an overview of both proven brands and new players in the market in 2017.

1. Braun demonstrated the first epilating devices 30 years ago. Since then, this line is one of the leading. Good recommendations received one of the modern models of the epilator Braun Silk Epil. It has a floating head, capable of capturing even very short hairs, and it helps to examine them (as well as thin and discolored) special lights. So, he deserved the title of the best intimate epilator 2017.
2. Philips appreciate for cost-effectiveness and reasonableness of parts.This brand also has a separate production line of devices, in which there are more than a dozen models. It can be found for both dry and wet hair removal, working both from the network and in a portable version. This epilator can be used for intimate areas. The developers are trying to give each of their creations a unique look, even in low-end models to insert a two-speed rotation of the head and make the epilator very convenient for use by the female hand. Not the last word on the choice of female clients have glamorous colors.
3. Rowenta - This is another one of the famous brands, which proved the efficiency of the devices since 1884. The basis of its line of epilators put intellectual beauty (this is the main idea, the slogan of the company).
4. Panasonic known for its more affordable prices, does not lag behind the above "comrades". In his latest line of epilators there are only four models, distinguished by stable quality and a long service life.

We have described far from all market leaders. Of course, no one forbids buying a advertised device from unknown companies to the general public.However, there is always a risk that there will be a kind of epilator that will not pull out, but simply break off excess vegetation. So it is always necessary to read user reviews in advance.

Other species

There are alternatives to painful mechanical hair pulling - laser, photo and needle types of epilators. The first is laser epilatorthat emits laser light during application. This has a negative effect on the bulb, reducing hair growth over time.

Similar effects are observed after application photoepilator - only in this case, the excess vegetation is killed with the help of a flash. Like the previous version, this electric epilator can be home (and not just for use in salons).

Under needle electroepilator implies a device that acts on the bulbs with the help of current (the idea is not new, just not enough promoted) - this epilator is suitable for both legs and sensitive armpits. The charge is supplied with a thin needle to a shallow depth, where the follicle itself collapses directly. The device operates using the following methods:

• electrolysis (DC penetration and the formation of alkaline destroyers of the bulb);
• thermolysis (destruction of the bulb due to high temperature);
• flash (painless process of thermolysis exposure in a fraction of a second);
• bland (thermolysis and electrolysis).

We take into account contraindications

The epilator has both pros and cons. Of course, no matter how good the chosen device is, before using it you should make sure that there are no contraindications. These include:

• phlebeurysm;
• exacerbation of herpes;
• the occurrence of keloid scars;
• eczema and psoriasis;

• fresh tan;
• viral infectious diseases (against the background of reduced immunity, additional problems may arise in the body).

If we are talking about laser and photoepilators, then the epilator has a taboo-contraindications to all of the above, plus oncological diseases, all stages of pregnancy, lactation time and diabetes are added.

By the way, the usual types of mechanical depilation are also undesirable to do while waiting for a baby - it is not known what exactly can provoke a painful shock.

Should men do hair removal

This wish is purely individual, but such historical information will help those who want to do this: a similar procedure was very popular in the days of ancient Rome. And today, interest in the procedure is only increasing. The only difference between male and female hair removal - men will have to decide on more procedures and choose those parts of the body on which they will do hair removal.

So, if you decide to buy an epilator, it remains only to choose the best criteria presented - and smooth skin after a painless depilation process will not be a dream, but a reality.
