Epilators

Does anyone use these? I've always shaved my legs but lately have been getting shaving rash even while using a completely new sharp razor. Not a big fan of getting waxed so it would either have to be suffering shaving rash, epilators or hair removal creams (or just let my leg hairs grow out and go au naturale ).

How much does it hurt?
Is there any particular brand/model I should look out for or avoid?
Do you get ingrown hairs?
Any tips or tricks?

TIA

I have one. I find it more convenient that shaving but it doesn't give you the same nice smooth results. I do get ingrown hairs, you have to make sure that you exfoliate.

I don't think it hurts that much, it does hurt but it is bearable pain.

Epilators are great, I have a Braun one. I used to shave and got sick of shaving every day in summer, then I tried waxing but hated having hairy legs in the last 3 weeks before you could get waxed again, it really hurt (I did it about 5x) and was expensive. Epis are fantastic, you can go at whatever pace you want (lower legs fine, thighs HURT I still shave thighs in summer, not everyone removes hair above knee tho), bikini line fine. Most come with different heads for legs or bikini line, and different speeds.
I get a funny patch of ingrown hairs where I cross my legs (Bad habit) all I do is just shave that likl patch for a month then they disappear and I go back to epilating it,
I find results better than shaving (no stubble!) and only do once every 2 weeks, altho since I am preggy my hairs have been growing like crazy so doing it weekly now!!! Argh!!!!
Definitely try one, Braun are great, but I hear the Philips brand is good too, just make sure you get the attachments, and my one has a light which is real handy too,
I find hair removal creams pretty useless, and stinky!
