I've been using an epilator for yonks, and I'm very happy with it. This new one is posher than my
, so I was pleased to try it out. This morning I decided at the last minute to wear a dress, and it was great to be able to run this over my legs (well, just the knees- I was wearing long boots). It only took a couple of minutes. It's so much more convenient than having to lather up and shave my legs. So- epilators. Yay!
Upon trying out this new one, I was surprised to find that it was a fair bit more ouchy than my usual. There are two speeds of epilation. On both speeds it feels quite vigorous and appears to catch more hairs at once. The pinching sensation is more intense than with some other epilators and even though I am experienced, I had some redness and itching after the first couple of uses. I would not...

This product is amazing!
I don't like shaving because my hair grows back very very quickly, like the day after. So I wanted to find something that literally leaves me feeling smoother for longer. This epilator does that and more.
Firstly, do not get this if you have a low pain threshold. On the legs it's not so bad, the thighs hurt and the first time I used it my muscles were shaking due to the sensation.
However, the pain gets less and less each time you use it.
As for the arm pits, ouch. They hurt like hell and I can only use it for very short bursts there, or I have to bite something until its over. The only reason I put myself through that pain is that the smoothness afterwards is incredible. My pits are left completely smooth and white, no stubble colour or anything.
The best part is, once epilated, my skin stays smooth for a whole two weeks before any hairs start coming through, and even then it is soft like baby down. Which...

I deliberated between this and
and chose this based on its (over hyped) Gillette Venus Technology. Big mistake... despite the 7891 being the supposedly "newer" model, it doesn't have as many attachments as the 7681, and nor is it expected to last as long - usage time for the 7981 is quoted as up to 30 minutes, whereas up to 40 minutes is quoted for the 7681, both from an hour's charge.
The epilator itself is very effective and relatively painless, though this of course is dependent on your pain threshold and hair thickness. Being rather accustomed to the epilation process, however, it was a seamless upgrade from my old Panasonic. Submerging the main unit underwater will significantly reduce the noise level if you're concerned about it...
