How we chose our recommendations Say ‘goodbye’ to irritating razors and ‘hello’ to the skin-loving Cordless Lady Shaver from Remington. At Remington, we listen to what our customers want, and fast, instant hair removal that won’t leave skin red or irritated after shaving is at the top of their wish list. You can use the facial brush with your usual cleanser and moisturiser to help these products penetrate your skin more deeply and get to work faster. Guaranteed glow! Key specs Speed settings: more expensive epilators are likely to have more speed options. Speed settings can be useful if you have coarser hair. Think about the areas of the body you want to use it: most epilators are designed for legs and underarms but if you want one for your face, look for a model that has a suitable attachment or one that's specially designed for the task.

Cordless or battery-powered: corded epilators tend to retain their power better than cordless. Battery-operated wet epilators should last around five years, but a corded version will likely last longer. However, once you’ve done all that, you’re basically hair-free and will find that, as time goes on and with more usage, you won't really get any new hairs growing. Epilators can be powered by battery or plugged in. Laser or IPL (intense pulsed light) epilators work by ‘putting the hair follicle to sleep’ and it shouldn’t regrow for at least six months. Is an epilator better than waxing or shaving?

How often should I epilate?

Mumsnetters have tried out hundreds of epilators over the years and have strong opinions on which are the best, and which leave little to be desired.

I just bought the Philips Lumea and can’t believe the results! I'm on my last session of the treatment plan, haven't shaved my legs (or anything else in two weeks) and I am only now getting stubble, but it's very patchy and mostly my body is smooth and hair-free.” Extra features: it's worth looking at extra features, such as exfoliators, which help guard against ingrown hairs, and massagers which are meant to make exfoliating less painful. It can be used in the shower so it will fit easily into your routine, and it also comes with a cleansing facial brush, which is six times more effective than manual cleansing and should help keep pores squeaky clean. Not really. Most women describe the feeling as uncomfortable rather than painful. It also varies from person to person and will depend on your pain threshold, but some areas of the body will naturally be more sensitive than others. It also comes with three different heads for using on different areas of the body (face, legs, underarm and bikini line) and is very lightweight, making it easy to manoeuvre.Epilators work by tweezing out the hairs at the root, so they can provide an instant smooth finish as well as eventually reducing hair regrowth. The Remington Smooth & Silky Cordless Bikini Trimmer is the perfect tool for all of your bikini trimming needs. Compact enough to keep in your wash bag, this clever beauty must-have boasts precise shaping and trimming, an essential for smooth, accurate results every time. So wave goodbye to unwanted hair and say hello to detailed trimming and silky smooth skin.
