you should still shave before using an epi because it works best on hairs that are pretty short. Its a little tricky, because too short and it won’t work, too long and it’ll hurt A LOT. Make sure to exfoliate and moisturize afterwards. You should avoid tight wearing tight clothing on the area that you epilated for a little while, since that may cause irritation.
Thanks for the advice! I thought I had to let the hair grow a little longer before using it. I already have moisturizer, and I will make sure to avoid tight clothing (although I don’t have too much of it right now).
You’re welcome! I would like to emphasise the importance of exfoliating when epilating since it can help prevent ingrown hairs. The truth is that a good scrubbin’ with a washcloth is going to be just as good as some specialized beauty product for most purposes. I forgot to mention that while you should be dry for it it helps to take a shower beforehand to loosen up those follicles. Taking an asprin or something about 30 minutes beforehand makes it more bearable, putting a podcast or something similar on also helps. I’m a fucking nerd who likes to share tips and answer questions so I hope I don’t come off as overbearing or bossy or anything so yeah. Have fun!

Not bossy at all, this helps a lot!
