The Best Electric Razors or Epilators for Women in Market in 2022

By Ruchi Sharma

Worried about the ever-growing annoying body and facial hair? Don’t worry you aren’t alone. Deciding to go in for hair removal or not is a woman’s personal choice. But if you are the person who runs off to parlors and salons once every few days just for waxing appointments, then maybe you can try out some amazing hair removal trimmers for ladies or even epilators! Gone are the days when shaving was all about getting that good old shavers, making foam from soap and then getting that shaving process carefully underway. The nightmare of cuts and ingrown hair is no longer an issue with the perfect electronic razors for women on board. The hair removal cream for women is a go to option too but in the long run they may be harmful for skin and could even lead to darkening and pigmentation of skin.

If you prefer waxing like results and are confused about epilator vs waxing, the major reason women are switching to epilators is they are easy to use at home and work as a breeze minus all the messiness of waxing. Though in general removing hair by epilators may feel relatively more painful during initial use. While electric razors ensure you don’t have fear of bumps, itchiness or infection, epilators provide much better and less painful results than tweezers, though you may need some time to get used to either of them. They are all easily portable too, so long vacations minus the body hair issues, are now a reality! Here’s the list of 5 perfect ones of both worlds!

Epilation and Shaving – Do’s and Dont's

1. If you have longer hair on your body (specially legs and underarms) always trim it before you epilate to ensure less painful and smoother experience.
2. Always hydrate your skin before epilating while cleaning the skin with an antibacterial cleanser before using an electric razor would be perfect.
3. Stretching the skin while epilating or shaving and working against the hair growth is the best idea.
4. Don’t forget to moisturize the skin after shaving or epilating.
5. Always clean the blades after using them.
6. Always prefer a cordless shaver and epilator for a better experience.
7. Check the runtime of the battery before buying either of them.
8. Read the manuals carefully and make the best use of all attachments!
