Some say it can start with hair removal and then you slide down the slope. <br /><br />I disagree.<br /><br />I have little body hair, but what I do have bothers me greatly. About a year ago, I began shaving what few hairs I have on my chest and I now feel so much better about myself.

One hassle, which I imagine is true for any epilator, is that you can't guarantee you're grabbing a hair on first try. Sometimes it just doesn't grab, so you have to go slowly and keep at it.

The hair only has to be long enough to be available to the 'tweezer' on the machine. I would say if it is long enough to feel, then it is long enough to be removed. <br /><br />I have to agree with Becca on the underarm thing.

As you can imagine, it has had a lot of heavy use in the past month and is showing no signs of strain. <br /><br />As for the slippery slope, it feels right to do this, and I have been worried too long and it has lead to paralysis by analysis.

I worried about that in my early blog posts, but I think this is a very important issue and has provided useful insights already!<br /><br />Becca and I are good friends and you started a chain of interesting discussion. She, despite her holding back, is interested in the Braun 7681 number. Clearly you and her have been colluding!

I started epilating well over a year ago and cried the first time all my arm hair was gone by the epilator. Legs followed although I found using the sticky patches easier because you could do more in a shorter time. Now I am on an almost 8 week to 3 months cycle depending on the parts.
