If our ancestors looked at how we thoroughly get rid of unwanted body hair, then they would be extremely surprised. The remnants of the "coat" are simply ridiculous. However, fashion for a modern woman dictates a complete lack of vegetation on the body. An exception is only for hair on the head and eyebrows. There are many means to remove unwanted vegetation. One of the most popular is still a home epilator.

Features of the device
To make it easier to understand which epilator is better to choose, first you need to understand the principles of its structure. On the shelves of electronics stores there are many models, and the price for them sometimes differs significantly. What is the reason? And what is the best epilator for a woman? What additional accessories can I refuse? And which ones should be required?
So, hair removal is the removal of unwanted hair along with the root. This is what a simple device does when using it. There are two principles of the epilator:
- Disk (removal of up to 32 hairs at a time);
- Lamellar or tweezers (removal of 20 to 40 hairs).
In both cases, the discs or plates touch each other during rotation and capture the hairs. Obviously, the more will be removed at a time, the less irritation will be and the more painless the procedure will be. Therefore, it is considered a good epilator either disk or plate with 40 tweezers.
Even the best epilators for women are not able to make the hair removal procedure completely painless. However, most manufacturers, realizing this, are doing everything to reduce pain. So, additional accessories appear that pre-cool or soothe the skin. Among them are:
- additional blowing with cold air during hair removal;
- applying a special cooling bag with gel (it must be put in the freezer in advance and applied to the skin immediately before hair removal);
- a small vibration massage, relaxing the area of the skin on which the removal will take place.
If you compare epilators with different methods of skin preparation, then there is not much difference between them. All are suitable for sensitive skin. You should choose, focusing on your feelings.
What else to look for
Anyone who makes the top of the best epilators will not tell you which of the interesting models today is suitable for a particular woman. A lot depends on where and how the machine will be used to remove unwanted hair. However, in order to make it easier to decide which device is still better to choose for yourself, it is worth familiarizing yourself with all its capabilities.
Among them are:
- the ability to use in water;
- work from a network or the accumulator;
- the presence of speed modes;
- removable working head;
- the presence of backlight;
- additional nozzles.
Immediately I want to note that not all functions can be useful or prove to be so necessary in reality. Therefore, in order to choose the best epilator for yourself, you should read not only the review from the manufacturer, but also the reviews about it.
Among consumers, the most popular is the ability to use the epilator under water or near it. Firstly, most people prefer to remove hair in the bathroom due to hygiene reasons. Secondly, after taking a hot bath, hair removal is easier to carry since the pores are enlarged. However, such an epilator is not always convenient to use in a hotel, for example, where a comfortable bath is not always available.
It is not possible to compare epilators for a quality such as mains or battery operation. When deciding which one to prefer, you need to evaluate the presence of outlets in the house and the duration of use in one procedure.On average, a wireless epilator can work for 30-40 minutes, then charging is required. If you do not intend to use it on trips and the outlet is always at hand, then there is no point in choosing a battery-powered model.
But the number of high-speed modes of operation of the epilator should look closely. It is believed that the most painless epilator has 2-3 speeds. The fact is that the stiffer the hair, the slower it needs to be removed. However, over time, their structure changes. Therefore, at first they use the lowest speed, and then increase it.
An epilator, like a razor, is a matter of personal hygiene. Therefore, it is important to take care of it very carefully so as not to infect the infection. In this sense, models with a removable working head are preferable. Fortunately, manufacturers today produce more and more of these machines. In fact, every new epilator is easy to wash and clean from hair stuck in it.
Another nice feature that has appeared recently is the highlighting of the hair removal area. Of course, if you perform the procedure in a well-lit place, you can do without it. However, backlit is easier and more enjoyable. That is why models with this function are necessarily included in the modern rating of epilators.
And, of course, you should not neglect the presence of additional nozzles. Among them are:
- a nozzle for beginners, which limits the area for hair removal;
- a nozzle for the face and the “bikini” zone, where there are especially sensitive places;
- a trimmer for modeling, which does not remove, but only cuts the hair briefly.
Also, manufacturers complete the epilators with convenient handbags for storage, cooling gloves, peeling brushes and some other accessories. How much they are needed can only be decided by the buyer herself. It is worth remembering that all this affects the final cost.
Manufacturer's choice
When comparing epilators in terms of cost, features and configuration, the brand under which it is produced should also be evaluated. The fact is that a company with a name and extensive experience in the manufacture of body care devices is unlikely to launch a low-quality thing on the market. Therefore, you should give preference to brands that have already established themselves on the best side.
Today, the Russian market of epilators is represented by 4 well-known companies:
- Braun;
- Philips
- Rowenta;
- Panasonic
For the first time, Braun only released the epilator 30 years ago. However, in such a short period of time, they managed not only to become one of the best. They steadily top the top best epilators. 2019 is no exception. Braun's own line of Silk Epil is well-known among consumers. Many note in their reviews the painlessness of the procedure, high-quality hair removal and thoughtful functionality.
No less popular with women and girls are epilators from Philips. The range of beauty devices in this company is huge, which means that there is a lot of experience in their production. This, of course, cannot but affect the quality of the epilators that regularly appear on the market. It is worth noting that the design and ergonomics of devices from this manufacturer say that this is the most feminine brand. Perhaps this is one of the secrets of Philips success in today's market.
Perhaps, of all the brands, Rowenta is the most untwisted. However, this does not make the epilators of this manufacturer less quality. On the shelves of stores you can find appliances from Rowenta from the most budgetary to quite expensive. At the same time, the consumer will not overpay for the brand. Rowenta is one of the few manufacturers where the price really matches the declared quality.
Panasonic does not need a separate introduction. Today, under this brand, thousands of different home goods are produced. Of course, Panasonic could not help but release its line of epilators for women. It is worth noting that they are distinguished by an ergonomic design, functionality and a relatively low cost. As a result, Panasonic epilators must be included in the review of most popular online publications.
Epilator rating 2019
All of the above manufacturers have been working on the Russian market for more than one year. Therefore, they have accumulated not only experience, but also a large assortment range, which is not easy to understand. In order not to rely on the opinion of the seller, you can opt for the news of this year. Each manufacturer presented in the past year their interesting epilator model.
As always, Braun was particularly distinguished by introducing the 9th generation epilator in the Silk Epil range. It has a wider head and improved tweezers that allow you to effectively process a large area at the same time. Additionally, the device is equipped with brushes for peeling and facial cleansing and backlight. Braun 9-969 Silk-epil 9 runs on battery power and can be used for dry and wet hair removal. Of the shortcomings, only the high cost (from 10 thousand rubles per set) can be noted.
Panasonic ES-WD51-P - an epilator from a well-known brand, which many reputable publications put in second place. Why are they doing this? Everything is simple. According to many consumers, it copes well with hair removal throughout the body. It can be used for dry and wet hair removal. Additionally, there is a nozzle trimmer, which allows you to do intimate haircuts yourself. Powered by battery. After an hour, the charge can be reused.
Among the devices operating from the network, one can note the epilator Rowenta EP5620. It easily removes the thinnest hairs, while working almost silently. Additionally, there is a nozzle for the bikini area and armpits, which allows it to be used on almost the entire body, and peeling. Perhaps he has only one significant drawback - can not be used in water. True, it is compensated by a very affordable price: up to 3 thousand rubles for such a set.
Company Philips also introduced to the market a new interesting model HP 6579. One of its main advantages is a powerful battery, thanks to which the device can continuously work up to 40 minutes. The epilator perfectly copes with the removal of unwanted hair thanks to ceramic discs with a special surface and massage nozzle. It is recommended to use it for wet hair removal. The kit also includes an epilator for sensitive areas of the body with a narrower head, a brush for cleaning and a convenient cover.
Instead of a conclusion
The best epilators of 2019 are those for which consumers “voted” with their reviews. It is on their basis that the majority of ratings are compiled. Expert opinions on such a delicate matter as removing unwanted hair can only do much harm. Only the woman herself knows what she needs. Therefore, you should carefully listen to yourself in order to choose your best epilator.
