It's been three weeks since I epilated, and I have no regrowth on my arm hairs, belly button, pits, or pubes. It took me two hours to do the whole Brazilian, which is a lot, but so is $60 for a wax.
If you do the mons pubis first, the labia and everything else will feel like a breeze, and after a while, you become kinda numb to it.
Adrenaline is your friend here, so take breaks, but don't stop.

Go side-to-side in small strokes, gradually increasing the width of each stroke, rather than running it over a new, thick patch of hair each time.

But your pubes? That's next-level, so take my pro tips: Trim all the hairs to be uniform and short (the Braun comes with a trimmer head), pop a pillow under your butt, grab a mirror, pull your skin taut, and take your time. There's no real trick to epilating something easy like your arm-just roll it down. The mons pubis (I'm a sex editor, baby-that's what we call it!) is by FAR the most painful (8/10), but actual labia (4/10) and butthole-adjacent hairs (2/10) surprisingly don't hurt.

And yet I've managed to give myself a full Brazilian-including asshole hair-without dying. I have probably the densest pubic hair on earth (it's stick straight, looks like mechanical pencil lead, etc). I t's a more sensitive part than your legs, but it still isn't that bad. I couldn't feel a thing, even pressing down super hard. This would be the finest, softest hair on my body because I don't shave it ever. ➰ My knees, thighs, belly button and arms:
It's like your brain registers the pain, and then as soon as you brace for it to get worse, it's already over. Pain-wise, here's a very TMI rundown of what it felt like to epilate each part of my body:Īt worst, feels like the little electric zap I mentioned before. Still, lemme break the pain down for you: She also tried my Braun and said it was way better than her Emjoi, so, you know. I'm pretty sure the reason the Braun doesn't hurt so much-and trust, I epilated e-v-e-r-y-where (more on that below)-is because (1) It's got a built-in "you're pushing way too f*cking hard" sensor to keep you gentle and (2) The edges of the epilator are covered with a bunch of tiny rollers that help distract your skin from the mass tweezing that's happening.īut for comparison's sake, I also tried my friend's Emjoi Epiliator that's top-rated on Amazon and only $70 (I sanitized it with alcohol, don't worry), and I wanted to cry after running it over one tiny patch of my arm hair. But, again, every epilator (and pain tolerance) is different. At worst, it feels like the beginning of a static shock (think the kind you get from futzing with your duvet), but one that you never really feel the end of, if that makes sense. I know pulling individual hairs from your body sounds like an ultra-painful, medieval waxing experience, but it was not nearly as bad as I was expecting. Here it is in slow-mo - it’s also spitting out little water droplets because i just cleaned it, fyi.
