I thought I would give an epilator a try as opposed to my usual waxing of my bikini and pubic areas. I tried the epilator everywhere. It did take some grit to use. I really like it to remove the hair from the waist down on my legs and rear end. Next I tried it on my pubic area. As this is more sensitive area, the pain threshold rose a bit. I persevered and with a touch up in a couple areas with some wax strips, it is back to silky smooth from the waist down. I’m always looking for new ways to stay smooth without shaving
