With an array of features and attachments, you can personalise your trim to get just the results you want to achieve. IPL stands for 'intense pulsed light,' and they work by directing light at the melanin in each hair follicle, which then stunts growth.

We really like the gentle cap on this model, which holds the skin taut so that the discs don’t touch it as the hair is removed.

An epilator means the hairs take longer to grow back (three to four weeks) than they do with shaving, which means a better result all-round. 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.You hold it like a mascara wand, and it promises up to 200 pluckings per second, capturing hairs as tiny as 0. No matter what, you can be confident the Smooth and Silky Lady Shaver will cater for all your personal grooming needs, leaving your skin hair-free, smooth and cared for. And with a new addition of an exfoliating brush, you'll also also be able to prevent in-grown hairs and irritation.

I bought this for my 13-year-old daughter as her first razor, and it worked so well that I bought one for myself!Once you’ve got to grips with an epilator, you’re unlikely to go back and, having paid the initial cost, you’re then saving money every month. Some do have different attachments for different areas of the body, so be sure to read the directions to ensure you're using it correctly.

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. It’s corded, so only for dry use, and doesn’t have the fancy pivoting head or raft of blades that the Silk-épil 9 has, but it’s a similar model in many other ways. Here's another travel-ready electric trimmer that uses a pivoting head to remove unwanted facial or body hair—especially down there—without tugging at your skin. Plus, the tool also contains pearl-tip trimmers that nicely protect even the most sensitive skin from irritation. The higher-intensity settings need it to be plugged in, but it can be used cordless on lower settings.

As you epilate, it exfoliates and massages at the same time, which helps reduce any discomfort as the hairs are pulled out and gives you a smoother finish overall. This innovative design is perfect for shaping and trimming delicate areas without pain or irritation.
