I have made several posts regarding my use of an epilator to stay smooth. I am a smoothie from my nose to my toes and have been using an epilator for a couple of years. I love the results because I stay smooth longer and when the hair does grow back it come in much finer and softer. I no longer get the hard stubble that my wife used to hate. I have been using the Braun "silk-epil" and it does a good job. I had another one made by Emjoi and it died in a few months. I recently bought another made by Conair. This one is very good. It has dual rollers and the rollers go in opposite directions. I find that it does a better and quicker job on my entire body. Since it has two opposing rollers it is like going over the same spot twice in both directions. I bought it online from Drugstore.com. I wanted to pass along this information to anyone thinking about using an epilator.

It isn't easy. You need to pull the skin taught with one hand and hold the epilator with the other. I almost ALWAYS have some bleeding. Best advice is switch to the shaving head (most units include it) for that area.

How do you stop these bloody machines trying to eat your scrotum? (and not in a good way!!).

Got my first epilator a week ago and have used it twice. Feels prickly but the second usage was very mild. I am working on keeping smooth, (neck to pubes and back). Being carefull on the sack and trimming the bush and bone.
Like the way it all feels. As you all, I hope it will all come together painless. Using a panasonic.

Hi Jim 449. I read your post and wondered why have smooth arms and legs would give you trouble. The fact is I thought the same way you do before I took the plunge and removed all my body hair. Nobody had any negative reaction or remarks. It is your body and you can do whatever makes you happy. If tattoos and body peircings are accepted, what is so bad about smooth skin. I have been smooth a long time and I have no regrets. Maybe one. I regret that I waited so long before I decided to do whay I wanted to do. If your wife is fine with you beiong smooth, that is all that should matter.

I started with a trimmer on my arms and legs. It came with several clip on guards. I gradually shortened the hair over a few weeks. I wore shorts to work all last summer. Only 1 person asked about it. He asked if I shaved my legs. I said yes, that was it. Lots of guys who swim or bike shave. I wear tank tops,too(not to work). If anyone has noticed I shave my pits, I'm not aware of it.
FYI-I recently bought a Panasinic unit with the spinning heads. You need to move it slowly but, it seems to work great.

I'm a private male nudist who has always loved being a smoothie ever since I was about 12 years old. Even at 13 or so I began shaving my pubic hair and body hair. At 13 I could shave my entire body completely smooth including my arms and legs and no one noticed!! It was so awesome and fun to be completely smooth and have everyone not even notice because I was so young I was not expected to have body hair. I remember how much I loved the feeling of being completely smooth all over.

Anyway, today I am married and I'm 36 years old and I still love and miss having a smooth young body. I really feel that 90% of my desire to shave smooth all over is a desire to remain young and feel young as I did when I was a boy. Shaving my body makes me feel like a kid again and I LOVE that feeling. My wife does not mind that I am smooth all over, she loves the feeling of our bodies together when I'm completely smooth.

I have shaved but like others have mentioned I discovered the Braun epli-silk a few years ago and WOW it was the most amazing feeling ever. The Braun works PERFECTLY and completely removes ALL the hair at the root leaving you completely totally hairless just like a baby.

My body feels SO SMOOTH after I use the epilator but I will say it is quite painful but well worth the pain. The feeling of smoothness and the look of having absolutely zero hair on your body is so worth it.

I only wish that now I could also shave my legs and arms but I haven't done that in years because of my age. The last time I full body shaved was when I was around 20 years old. Today, due to my job and other situations, I cannot take the chance of shaving my arms and legs because everyone would notice which would cause major problems in my life, job, etc.

An epilator works just like waxing. Hurts like hell the first time. I also use a Bodygroom for a few places. If you have been waxed an epilator should work great.

I still have to get me one! Waxing got too expensive, now I'm back to shaving :(

Clothing should always be optional!

GREAT POST!
I know the above post is a year old. I'm on my 3rd epilator but, this pretty well describes my experience. The first time is unpleasant (like waxing). I think the main reason I keep after it is I don't want to ever start over.

CAPTAIN_JAMES Posted - 05/19/2008 : 11:02:57 AM
Well I did it, I bought my first, but not my last, Epilator about two months ago. I wanted to wait to give it a total review, not just my first time experience, which would not have been as good. This is a copy of the review I posted on Amazon.com a few weeks ago.



Yes I am a MAN who for the past several years, off and on, have been shaving my entire body below the neck. I would only keep my legs shaved every week, and 3 or 4 times a year I would get it all, unless I was on vacation somewhere, then it was 3 or 4 times a week.

I have never tried waxing, so this YANKING the hair out by the root was a new experience for me. And can be a painful one, the first few times.

Well when my Braun 5270 Silk-épil arrived last month, I noticed several attachment heads. One was the shaving head that was suppose to cut the hairs to the "Ideal Length" for epilation. That does work on some areas, but for most areas there is no "Ideal Length".

I had read in another review, the user suggested shaving the area you plan to epilate, and latter that day or the next day, start epilating. Some areas work just fine using the shaver head to get started; the legs, arms for me the pubic area was one of the less painful areas to start with. But keep in mind trying to epilate anywhere the hairs are full length, it will HURT, and hurt BAD.

There were a few areas that even using the shaver head, or the old fashion razor blade caused me to break out in a cold sweat the first time I took the epilator to them. The area between the pubic hair and the navel was not that bad, but I did know the epilator was there. When I did the area between the navel and the nipple line, it did curl my toes a few times. But one of the worse areas was above the nipples to the neck line. I had to do that area in SMALL sections, with plenty of breaks over several days.

But the area that I'm still trying to get completely done is my under arms. Those two small areas are being more painful than the entire rest of my body. I will do as much as I can stand, and then take the razor to the rest. I'll start again the next day and get as much as I can as the hairs are starting to grow out again. One day I will have it all done.

Keep in mind that the first time is always the worse, no matter what part of your body you are trying to do. But it will soon seem like there are on hairs to pluck.

When you shave the area with a razor and then start using the epilator a few days latter, you will not pluck all the hairs at the same time. It seems to me that the hairs grow back at a different rate, so on the first time you may be getting only 10 to 20 percent. The next day another 10 to 20% and so forth.

You will also have a certain percentage of breakage, the hair does not pull out, but it breaks off level with the skin. Those can hurt worst than the ones that do pull out, and they will look much thicker than the ones that did pull out as they continue to grow.

Like I said I've had mine for about a month now, and I still go over at some part everyday.

At this point I'm about 99% smooth, there are still a few strays that I find every few days, but for the most part I have not been this smooth since I was born. Also less and less hairs seem to be growing back.

Yes if I had it to do over again, I would buy either this model, Braun 5270, or the next one up.

Bottom line is I LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!

Well tonight I had a second stab with the epilator. This time around I was able to do everywhere with minimal bleeding. Only one small area on my balls. Other than that it was almost pain free and did not take very long. So much better the second time around. Still waiitng to see if I will get a lot of ingrown hairs etc. So far I have had a few spots but nothing too bad. Give it another 4 or 5 days and I will go again.
Balto Bob Posted - 03/17/2008 : 12:04:51 AM
Been there!!
I did mine over several days. It will not be as painful after this. With the epilator a few hairs spring up at a time. You won't have the stubble. I use my epilaltor almost everyday. If you get a few hairs at a time the PAIN is much less. I do still get some bleeding. The skin on the penis, etc is thiner. Pulling out the hair tends to cause bleeding. The worst should be over.

My Experience with a Braun.

I have being shaving for quite a few years now and after the initial ingrown hairs and spots it was working fine for me. Apart from having to shave all the time. Pretty much one day after shaving I had stubble. I dont shave everything but I do shave my chest, stomach, groin including testicles and penis as well as my ass.

Thought I would try the epilator. Looks relatively innocent and quite friendly. How wrong was I!! Started with my chest. worked very well as far as the hair removal goes. Quite painful where it was at its hairiest, that being around my nipples. By this point I was starting to sweat.

Moved lower now and started on my stomach. Not too bad similar to my chest and again the result was very good. Still sweating. Now it was time to grab the bull by the horns so to speak!! FYI I was circumsized as a child and as a result of this I have a lot of hairs well up the shaft of my penis. Well they have to go.

I grabbed my penis and pulled it down to make the skin taught and began with the epilator at the end of my penis and worked down the shaft to where my pubic hair was at its thickest and onto my stomach. Was it painful? Absolutely!! I fitted the guard which was specifically for sensitive areas although as far as i could see all this did was limit the area to be attacked and therfor would mean the whole operation would take longer.Removed the guard and continued. Got about half way through and then began to feel sick. Yes I do mean physically sick and my legs were feeling a bit shaky. I know I am a wimp. Took a break and went off and a had a cold drink and composed myself. I said to myself that I could not stop now with only one half complete. Bye the way I forgot to mention that by this time thier was quite a bit of blood. I thought it was just individual specs where the hairs had been pulled out.

So after my drink and a 10 minute break I went for it. I told myself just forget the pain and go regardless of the pain and get it all done the quicker. This I did. It did involve some clenching of teeth and a lot of pain. However I now had a smooth pubic mound and penis. To go with my stomach and chest. Remember the blood? Well their was still quite a lot so at this point I had a shower. A cold shower, in fact a very cold shower. This appeared to stop any bleeding and hopefully closed the pores etc.

This still left my testicles and ass. Now the testicles were not fun. As soon as you got to the wrinly skin it was difficult. Regardless how I pushed or pulled to keep the skin taught or at least to try and keep the skin taught it was very difficult. I did get the vast majority of them and by this time I reckon I was on an endorphin rush or something because when I went to do my ass it felt almost pleasant. It was certainly an awful lot easier than the testicles and penis. So thier I was all nice and smooth. A bit messy because when I thought the blood was due to the individual hairs being pulled out I was wrong. When it came to the penis shaft and my balls their was more damage. The best way do describe it is like friction burns. Areas of my penis were red as if a very fine layer of skin had been removed. After my second cold shower I thought that was me done and dusted. Put on a pair of loose fitting pants and retired for a few hours of relaxation in front of the TV. I got up to pay a visit to the toilet and when I removed my pants it felt like I had just given my balls a wax. What I mean by that is my pants had stuck to by balls where they had been bleeding. Ouch!! At about the same time I checked myself out in the mirror and I looked like I had some contagious disease. Where every hair had been pulled thier was an obvious red spot.

I decided to retire to bed and see what a nights sleep would do for me. On waking the next morning my penis and balls had scabbed over and was no longer painful. Thier were many small scabs. Obvious red rash had dissapeared although thier was sti

I tried the Braun once. Never again, too much pain.
ETrainer Posted - 02/18/2008 : 7:02:02 PM
The wet/dry Panasonic works very well. It is a bit painful using it the first time, but when you go over that area a month later, it is not as painful. I have found that my chest is actually more sensitive than lower abdominal/pubic area. I do enjoy the smooth results though. :)

Be safe! Be bare!
