Top 10: Best Epilators for Women in India for Body, Face, Bikini, Underarms with Reviews, Price List
A date, a wedding, a night out, or a brunch, when they are marked on our calendars, we plan for them and get ready to look our best. Then, comes those days that are known as ‘surprises’! And do they come in too often. Outfits, makeup, shoes are almost always manageable. But, what about those hairy arms and legs. And, I am always in a soup! But, fear not, i present to you a girl’s best friend, in such distressed times. Yes, ladies, it is an epilator. These days, we have so many brands like Braun, Philips, Panasonic, etc. Out of the many, today I pick the best epilators for women in India I know of which can be used on legs, arms, underarms, face, bikini line, etc.
Before I get started, I should say this that I do agree, epilators can be a tad bit painful (been there, done that!), if the hair growth is thick or there has been a gap from the last hair removing day. But, no pain, no gain, right?! And, most of these work on battery, saving electricity (and we all know how precious it is), plus it is not just a razor (less risk of skin darkening), and pretty much a long term investment. It works as a tweezing device that pulls the hair out, leaving the skin feeling clean, and smooth. Smear a generous amount of your favourite moisturizer, after the process, and voila, you get nice smooth and glowy skin!

My first pick is the Philips HP 6421 Epilator. At a cost of Rs. 1786, this one comes with two speed settings and tweezing disc that are gentle on the skin. Once you use this, you are sorted for at least four weeks. However, a word of caution though, if your hair growth is fast, then you might have to use this in about a week or two. Very effective on shortest of hair, and has a washable head, which is good before using it on different body parts. This one comes with cord attached and also with small brush that can be used to clean the machine.
