For me the trick was to minimze the amount of hair that gets plucked per session. The idea is to first get to a state where you have plucked the majority of hair (this is the hard part). After that you can continuously epliate once a hand full of hair has regrown.
So for large areas like the legs, I inititally only epilated so much until I’ve had enough and continued the next day. I also would at times move the epilator in direction of growth; by this hairs are more likely to break off, but it reduces the density of hair on your skin at that moment and makes the epilation against direction of growth a lot more tolerable.
After this point, the number of hairs that grow in the first week or so should be greatly reduced. Epilate those, rinse and repeat. I usually epilate once a week, which doesn’t take too long (esp. compared to the initial step) and doesn’t really hurt because each time there are only a few hairs there.
