yea i did use a epilator lol and it started growing back 2 days later! when it says it shouldn't start until 4 weeks
same actually.. my hair's quite dark & thick & it was always visible after 2-3 days.
but I do have some patches on my legs now where no hair grows.. which is good I guess.
I wish that time would stand still,
if this was part of a film
we would watch the clip all day,
like a portrait of you and I...

Epilators should have the same sort of regrowth as waxing - normally about 4 weeks, but you may see some growth in 2-3 for the first few times, or find hairs you missed. Depilators - creams like Nair and Veet - will last about as long as shaving (just in case folks are getting them mixed up).
I used an Epilator on my legs for a while. Worked great, especially on short hair. Didn't find the pain too bad at all, as long as you held the skin taught. It is a bit prickier around the knees and ankles.
I did try my arm pits and bikini line several times. I was never able to complete either it because it hurt so damn bad! So bad! Waxing or tweezing my girl bits hurts so much less...
