How do you choose an epilator?
Choose an epilator
Epilators come in different shapes and sizes. Before purchasing an epilator, it's important to ask yourself the following questions:
- What body part do you want to remove hair from?
- Do you want an epilator with a flexible head?
- What accessories do you need for your body?
- What accessories do you need for your face?
Which body part do you want to remove hair from?
If you want to remove hair from large areas like your legs and arms, most epilators are suitable. You can make body hair removal more comfortable with a skin-contact attachment or a beginner's attachment. These attachments gently smooth your skin and ensure that the epilator is always in contact with your skin. If you want to remove hair from your armpits, bikini line, or face, choose an epilator with attachments for these sensitive areas. These attachments make the head of the epilady smaller, so you can remove hair from a small area. Another option is a separate small face epilator, or bikini styler.
Do you want an epilator with a flexible head?
Not flexible
Epilators with a fixed head don't adapt to your contours. You mainly use these epilators for hair removal on your legs or arms. If you want to remove hair from smaller areas or areas with curves with more comfort, we recommend an epilady with a flexible head.
Flexible
An epilady with a flexible head adapts to the curves of your body and follows your contours smoothly. Thanks to the flexible head, the epilator always keeps in contact with your skin. This allows you to remove hair comfortably and avoid skin irritation.
Fully flexible
A fully flexible head moves 360 degrees as you remove hair. This ensures that the epilator always stays in contact with your skin, even when you're removing hair from tricky areas like your armpits or bikini line. If you have sensitive skin, we recommend a fully flexible head.
What accessories do you need for your body?
Comfortable hair removal
If you're epilating your body for the first time, we recommend a beginner's attachment. This attachment gently smooths the skin, which prevents a pulling sensation. The skin contact attachment also makes hair removal more comfortable. The attachment ensures that the epilator always keeps contact with your skin. If you still find hair removal unpleasant, use the ice compress. This cools your skin before or after epilating, which slightly numbs your skin.
Trimming and shaving
With an epilady, you can remove your unwanted hair from the root of the hair. Do you want to avoid epilating certain sensitive areas, such as your armpits? Choose an epilator with a shaving attachment or included razor blade. A trimming attachment is the solution for you if you don't want a completely smooth result, but only want to trim the hair a little shorter. You can easily click the trimming attachment onto the epilady. Some epilators also have a separate bikini styler with a small head, so you can neatly trim your bikini line.
Massage, exfoliate, and care
In addition to hair removal, there are also various attachments that you can use to care for your skin. You clean your skin with the cleansing brush, after which you scrub it with the scrub brush or glove. Scrubbing ensures that you remove dead skin cells and prevent ingrown hairs. You stimulate the blood circulation in your skin with a massage head, which makes your skin glow. If you also want to take care of your feet, choose a foot file.
What accessories do you need for your face?
Hair removal
Removing hair from your face takes some precision. That means you shouldn't do this with the large head of the epilady, but with an attachment for your face. In addition, some epilators come with a separate face epilator. These devices have a small head, which allows you to remove unwanted facial hair very precisely. If you prefer not to remove hair from your face, choose a precision trimmer that trims your hairs shorter.
Cleanse and scrub
Do you want to cleanse and exfoliate your face in addition to hair removal? Choose an epilator with a facial cleansing or exfoliating brush. Just click the brush on the epilady and you can easily clean your face. The exfoliating brush also removes dead skin cells and prevents ingrown hairs.
Care
You can take care of your skin with the micro vibration attachment. This attachment produces 25 micro vibrations per second. With these small vibrations, the attachment massages your skin. You can also use this attachment to easily apply your favorite cream or serum to your face.
