First depilation
Moreover, most women describe that the pain during the first epilation is by far the strongest. In most cases, the discomfort decreases from application to application until at some point there is little or no pain at all.This is due to the fact that the hairs are usually longest and strongest the first time they are epilated, and to the fact that a certain habituation effect occurs. This means that the skin already “knows” how to epilate after repeated use and has become accustomed to the resulting pain, which is why it is no longer considered so bad.
There is also another option, namely thread epilation, which is used mainly in oriental countries. Here a thread is twisted and moved over the body in such a way that the hairs get caught in it and can be torn out. This form of hair removal should be practically painless, provided it is performed by trained persons. Of course, it should also be noted that every person has a different perception of pain, which is why the same procedure can be more painful for one person than another.
Epilating in the genital area
Epilation is a popular and frequently used method of hair removal. Unlike shaving, the hair-free result lasts up to several weeks, depending on the hair growth, and does not need to be repeated during this period. However, some people are deterred by the pain caused by epilation.
To be honest, it must be said that a slight pain, especially in sensitive skin areas such as the genital area, probably cannot be completely avoided. However, skin preparation and correct use can minimize the pain, so that it is quite bearable. The first application is the worst.
However, the sensitive intimate area hurts more than other areas of skin. Therefore, many manufacturers of epilators advise against epilation of this part of the body. However, if you still want to try it, make sure you are well prepared: the hairs must be cut to a length of a few millimeters.
Use the trimmer function of your epilator to do this. Long hairs can otherwise get caught in the device and cause pain. Furthermore, your skin should be free of residues and skin flakes.
Use a massage glove and remove all residues. After showering the hairs can be removed more easily, so that the pain is less. Rinse the skin briefly with cold water.
Cool skin is also slightly less sensitive to pain than warm skin. Nevertheless, one thing must be said: Epilating the genital area is not possible without pain. You can only reduce the pain a little bit by using the epilator correctly and preparing the skin well. However, you should not be too sensitive to this!
