Best Epilators 2021: Hair removal around the body

(Pocket-lint) - There's usually nothing fun about the hair removal process. At best, it's a job that needs you to remember to go through whatever your routine is on a daily basis. It can, at worst, be a frustrating ordeal. That may well be one reason why everybody, whether it's a bikini line, underarms, leg hair or facial hair, has their own version of how they want to get rid of or treat their body hair.

Epilators, hair removers that tweeze hair away rather than trimming or shaving it with razors, are one of the key pillars of these routines. They allow for softer regrowth and longer-lasting outcomes, although it will take some time to get used to their more painful hair approach, there is no escape.

There are countless epilators on the market, however, from different brands and manufacturers. However, never doubt. We've taken a close look at the different possibilities you face and narrowed them down to a list of highlights to choose from.

Our guide to the best epilators to buy today

Braun Silk-Epil 9

With a comprehensive epilator in the form of the Silk-Epil 9, Braun nabs the top spot on our chart. To let you do more than just pluck, it has a number of attachments, but its core role is also tremendously successful. If you're working too hard for full effectiveness, an LED light lets you know, while its large head ensures that as you work you can get good coverage.

It's a bit of a one-stop shop for your body hair, which is always handy to have, with its other heads letting it double up as a trimmer and razor. That said, we know that it's not a cheap option, so if you're budgeting carefully, keep that in mind.

Remington EP7010

If you want to save your money but know that the way you want to go is to epilate, then Remington's very cheap but reliable option might be a great alternative. Actually, if you're actually only hoping to try to epilate, and you're not sure you're going to stick with it, it may be a nice way to dip your toes in, too.

It's much easier to do well than Braun's above, and is also corded to make it less convenient to use. Still, though, you get a nice epilator for the price, which few models in the same category can say.

Philips Satinelle BRE650/00

With this Satinelle epilator, Philips has done something very remarkable - it has managed to make it less difficult to use than the vast majority of alternatives. You can do a lot of different things with it with a variety of heads, but the core plucking feature is impressively smooth and less painful than many others.

It's also comfortable to carry and has a big head in each sweep to get plenty of hair. If you prefer to depilate in the shower or bath, you can do it wet or dry.

Braun FaceSpa Pro 911 Facial Epilator

Epilating your legs is one thing, but if you were to use them on, say, your upper lip, many of the appliances on this list would be more than a little daunting. In the form of the FaceSpa, Braun has made a particular device to tackle the problem, and it works a treat.

It's a much more reliable head to use and even has heads to tone and cleanse your skin, making it a perfect option for your face all-in-one. A built-in timer will assist you with managing your treatments, and a stand will make it easy to store your bathroom tidily.

Panasonic Wet & Dry Epilator

Our final entry goes to Panasonic, which, with its epilator, created something of a jack of all trades. One of the nicer ones out there is the attractive style, while its controls are dead easy to use.

It has a big, swiveling head for excellent access to your hair, but you can do much, much more with a variety of optional attachments as well. It has very helpful adaptability, from facial brushing to sonic cleaning. On top of that, of course, his default tweezing is pleasant and effective.
