erm, just because no one has answered so far, no.
I tried epilators as a teen, then shaving and then years of denial. Finally went to cold wax strips and after a couple passes of those, an epilator. I use this on legs, bikini zone and armpits.
The strips are basically "breathe deeply and ZAP"!
the epilator is ok after a couple passes of those.
If I slack on the machine, back to the strips for one pass.
Veet (I think) now makes strips with a water soluble base - very neat for getting the residue off.
