Epilators are an at-home hair removal option for those looking for an alternative to shaving, waxing, and lasers. They work by removing hair by the roots, similar to waxing, but without using wax. Instead, they pluck away hair as you move the device over different parts of your body. Here are some details about epilators, including product details, positives, negatives, and materials:
