Today, the household appliance marketThere are so many different models of epilators in the equipment that sometimes the eyes of the fair sex run wide. With or without attachments, battery-powered or mains-powered, plain or with an intricate pattern, with a rubberized handle or completely plastic - which one is better, it is quite difficult for a beginner who does not understand technology to determine. Often, sellers hear the same question from girls - what is the difference between a device for a thousand and four thousand rubles, if their purpose is the same - to remove vegetation on the body. In fact, there are differences, and quite significant ones, and they consist not only in the configuration and color of the epilator, but also in its functionality.
Choose a depilator: what you should know about these devices
Types of epilators:from old to ultra-modern There are three main types of such devices, each of which has its own advantages and disadvantages. If you are faced with the question of which epilator is better to choose, then in this case everything depends not only on financial capabilities, but also on the purpose, frequency of use, etc. There is no point in buying an incredibly expensive and multifunctional device if you are terribly afraid of pain, since in this case you are unlikely to be able to use it often. Unfortunately, not every impressionable girl can overcome fear.
- Spring epilators
Long ago, when manufacturers were just starting outto develop similar devices for removing body hair, the first spring epilators were born. As soon as they went on sale, the fair sex had a double impression: on the one hand, after epilation, the hair did not bother them for a long time, but on the other hand, such a procedure could be equated to medieval torture. The principle of operation of the device is quite simple - the hair rods are pulled out with the help of a spring or spiral, which bends slightly during rotation. At the moment, despite improvements and innovations, this type of epilators is not very popular, so it will be quite difficult for you to find them. In this case, the unconditional advantage is the relatively low cost, which is what attracts thrifty girls. However, it is worth noting that the springs and spirals wear out very quickly if you use the device regularly.
- Disk epilators
They, fortunately for many women, appeared latersome time after spring epilators and immediately gained popularity among the fair sex. And it is not only about high-quality advertising and low pricing policy, but also about greater efficiency. So, after the procedure, there are much fewer missed hairs on the legs. Rotating disks manage to capture all the vegetation, and not individual areas.
- Tweezers Epilators
The principle of operation of tweezers and disc epilatorsdoes not differ much, but many girls prefer this option, as it is believed that it removes hair on the body the least painfully. Another advantage is that thanks to the metal plates that delicately “pull out” rather than break the rods, the number of ingrown hairs is reduced several times. Number of speeds: you can’t spoil porridge with butter When choosing a good epilator that you really want to use constantly, and not just buy it to play with and put on the shelf, the number of speeds (or rather the pinches performed by this device in one second) plays an important role. Naturally, the more - the better, but high rates in this case will affect not only the quality of work, but also the cost. Today you can buy both a two- and a four-speed epilator.
- First speed for sensitive areas
At the lowest speed it is good to remove weak,short, thin hair, the shaft of which can break if you treat the area faster and more intensively. At the same time, the vegetation is pulled out along with the bulb, due to which the positive effect lasts much longer than if you simply shave your legs.
- The second, third and fourth speeds
For a long time, devices were available for saleonly with two speeds, and the second was intended for working with coarse, hard, long hair. Why do we need faster devices then? The fact is that the higher this indicator in the device, the faster and less painful the procedure itself is, so the best epilator is a four-speed one. How and where to remove hair A regular epilator is designed to get rid of unwanted hair on the body, and, as mentioned above, it removes hair along with the bulb. On average, after the procedure, the skin remains smooth and clean for one to two weeks, after which prickly blackheads begin to appear, which you can’t get rid of right away. About five to eight days should pass before you can start epilating, and before that you will have to endure and hide your legs with trousers, long skirts and nylon tights. Another disadvantage of the epilator is the painfulness of the procedure. Despite the presence of additional attachments, cooling compresses and advice on taking a small amount of alcohol before epilation, it is always painful to do it. However, over time, if you do not resort to the help of this device from time to time, the skin will get used to such an effect and it will be much easier for you to endure hair removal. Many representatives of the fair sex are afraid of unpleasant consequences: reddening of the skin, irritation, ingrown hairs. All this can be avoided if you properly prepare for the procedure. So, for example, before epilation, it is recommended to do peeling with a regular scrub, steam the skin with hot herbal compresses, and then apply special creams that do not contain alcohol or other similar aggressive components. A good alternative in this case can be a regular women's electric razor. But those who prefer this option have to shave their legs two or three times a week, since the vegetation cut with blades, unfortunately, grows back much faster. The bikini area, face and armpits contain the most delicate, tender and sensitive skin, which is very easy to injure if you remove vegetation with a simple epilator. In these parts of the body, it is recommended to use small trimmers - they gently pull out hairs without causing pain or irritation. Such equipment appeared relatively recently, but has already managed to please many representatives of the fair sex, who are afraid to even pluck their eyebrows.

According to the majority of representativesthe fair sex, the best epilator is the one that removes hair perfectly, does not cause pain, works for a long time and has a huge number of different additional attachments, which they will actually use for the first six months at most.

- Punctual hair removal
If after epilation there are islets ofhairs, do not rush to grab the razor and re-injure the skin, it is better to use this attachment. However, in fairness, it is worth noting that it can easily be replaced with regular tweezers, which will cope with the task no worse.

- Cooling glove or nozzle
According to the manufacturers, if beforemake a cold compress during epilation, then the nerve endings will freeze and you will not feel pain. The glove is a small bag with liquid (gel), which is placed in the freezer before the procedure. As for the nozzle, filtered water is poured into it an hour before the start, after which it is sent to the refrigerator, and only two or three minutes before epilation it is put on the device.
- Storage and transportation case
A small box that fits everythingaccessories, it is very convenient to take with you on a trip, otherwise you will have to look for the necessary attachments throughout the bag. If the device was sold without a case, buy it separately, since storing such electrical devices on a shelf with other cosmetics is not hygienic.
- Brushes for cleaning
If you don't take care of it constantlyepilator, clean it on the nozzles, then after six months to a year it will become clogged and fail. If the device is not afraid of exposure to water, you can wash the shaving head under the tap. For a regular inexpensive model, you should use simple brushes. We recommend reading:
