          if you’re used to plucking then it isn’t as bad, but if not, it feels like death by a thousand cuts. you can build up a tolerance to it but you’ll still have to deal with the pain

          on the plus side, you don’t have to do it nearly as often as shaving

        I used epilator on my armpits and it hurt a lot. But I hate the fact I’m so hairy as a woman (thanks, PCOS and genetics, I also now have to shave my mustache), so I just take it. To your point, I prefer to use waxing strips on that area because it’s less painful as it rips much more hair off in one go.
