RemingtonSmooth & Silky Total Coverage Epilator, Electric Tweezing System, Pink, EP7010E

Great product. I am not experienced with epilation. I have researched it on the web but this is my first time using one. My advice is do read the instructions. I figured that it was self explanatory so the first time I used it a few days ago I just ran it across my leg like a razor. The instructions recommend using small circular motions. I would say that I have fairly thick hair that grows on my legs. When I initially did it with the same motion I use for a razor I did indeed notice that the hair was being cut off and not pulled from the root. This in turn left me with a wicked ingrown hair on one of my legs. I am a single mother of 2 with a hectic daily agenda so I did not have enough time to do more then the one leg that day. I later read the directions and when I found some time tackled my other leg. This time, with the more precise small circular motions, I noticed that I would say over 90 percent of the hairs came out with roots intact. As far as pain, as I said I have 2 kids and a few tattoos therefore the pain was not as bad as child birth but I can easily compare it getting a tattoo. It has a pinch feeling with a mild burning sensation afterwards. As most people using hair removal products know beauty comes at a price, small amount of pain to endure with the possibility of only having to use it once a month or so. So I would give this product 5 stars and recommend to a friend. Great product, great style.UPDATE: I have now been epilating for a few weeks. I am enjoying the end results very much. At this point all I can say is that my pain tolerance has gotten significantly higher or the skin that I epilate is getting tougher. I can say that I am no longer having any issues with ingrown hairs. Also that there are certain areas of the body that are going to hate having a epilator on it (arm pits and bikini line). On an additional note, I have read in previous posts about epilation where people say they are very hairy and once they epilate that they no longer have to do it except for once a month or so. This is something I find to be untrue. I would say when it came to shaving I had to do it everyday to keep any hairs from growing back, with epilation my legs still need to be epilated every 3 days, I have noticed that my arm pits and bikini line (where hair is obviously thicker) need less epilation (every 5-7 days) which to me is a win, being a fulltime mom, employee and part time student anything less frequent is better :) Hope this review helps with your purchase!

I bought this because I have used Remington for several years and my epilator stopped working. It did a great job and rarely grabbed my skin. This one grabbed my skin every few seconds and left these marks all over my legs. As far as I am concerned, it is dangerous to use and I will be returning it. To say the least, I was extremely disappointed! My opinion would be to buy another brand and I won’t be buying Remington again. ☹️

This epilator works amazingly well for armpits & legs. I just wished it lasted longer.

This is my first and only epilator so far, so I don't have much to compare it with. I bought this to use mainly on my neck and chin hair that is particularly tenacious. I am not new to hair removal and have tried everything on this area so far. Depilatory creams work, but I get a rash and they smell. Threading hurts A LOT, shaving didn't last longer than a day, and waxing was just getting expensive to do on a weekly basis. I decided to try epilation. I am new to that.For my fellow newbies, epilation isn't like shaving because unlike shaving, epilators pull the hair out of skin rather than cutting the hair at the base. Epilator heads basically have a bunch of tweezers on them, and tweeze the hair out when you run the across the designated area. I was told that you epilate against the grain of the hair and have found that that works on arms and legs. Epilation in either direction seems to work for neck and chin hair that sort of grows in all directions.This epilator is small and easy to handle. Another reviewer said that she/he got a used one by mistake, so I will say that the new box looks metallic purple in color and has the epilator (as you see it on Amazon.com) encased in a plastic case that protrudes from the box. My epilator came with pictorial instructions, a wall plug and cord that connects to the epilator, as well as a two-headed brush to clean out the tweezer head. The head itself can be popped off to clean. When the head pops off, there is a small disc on the underside that can be turned manually so that the tweezers can be individually cleaned with the brush. I know that some epilators are battery operated but this one plugs directly into the wall. The cord is technically long enough to plug into a wall by the sink and then epilate sitting on the floor below, but when I tried that there was a bit of tension in the cord, so if you have a closer outlet, that is helpful. Not a short cord, per sé, but it could be longer.Actually using the epilator was pretty easy. You just hold it at a 90 degree angle to the hair and run it across the area. It has two speeds, medium and fast. I found that it was good to start on medium speed because it was my first time. You don't need to push into the skin but you do need to hold the skin taut. It gets a lot of really long hair but sometimes breaks the hair. I have just been running it over the same area a second time and it's been fine. It seems like this epilator doesn't generally pick at skin and make it bleed, If I run it over areas that have no hair it just buzzes and leaves that area alone. However, I do bleed when I run it over areas that have hair and acne. I have to wait for the acne to dry out/clear up in order to use the epilator. Maybe people who are epilator veterans know this, but I didn't. Oops.The difficult thing with any sort of hair removal is that there will be pain, but I find this to be less painful than threading (by a lot!). Another one of the reviewers suggested using a face wash before chin epilating, and I find that that works for me. It keeps the area clean and dry and makes epilation easier. I also put aloe on right after epilation and have seen only a few red bumps on my skin because of it. They still come, but not many.In general, the epilator seems to work on small areas if you want thorough hair removal. I haven't had much success on large areas like legs, although the epilator has thinned the hair in those areas. Perhaps my lack of success comes from my being a novice. Perhaps a more experienced person knows more tricks. I don't know. It also seems a good idea to have a tweezer handy to catch those few refractory hairs that the epilator justdoesn't catch.Good luck, and I hope that this review was helpful. I bought this product through the help of detailed reviews and hope that I could return the favor.

I had a Remington that lasted me for years. I don’t like this one because my actual skin sometimes gets caught in it when I use it under my arms. My old one never did that
