This budget-friendly epilator offers a convenient, at-home hair removal solution, with 40 rotating tweezers that pull hair from the root for long-lasting results. Our tester, new to epilators, found the Remington surprisingly easy to use, with clear instructions and a convenient palm-sized design that deftly navigated trickier spots. While he reported some discomfort, especially on sensitive areas, he says the pain was manageable—especially when compared to waxing or threading. Its corded design and small size make it a reliable, easy-to-handle option that doesn’t require recharging. With its affordable price point, it’s a solid choice for those looking to try epilation for the first time without spending too much.
Our reviewer says: “I tried the body epilator on two areas—my inner thigh and the side of my back. The machine worked well, pulling hair of all lengths and leaving both areas clear,” says Glamour tester Lee McKagen. “It took about 10 minutes per area, with a few small breaks. As a first-time user, I experienced some redness and bumps, but they settled after a few hours. The pain was similar to waxing or tweezing—easier on tougher skin, more painful on sensitive areas. The metal grips were a bit harsh on my skin, leaving it sensitive afterward, but my skin felt smooth under clothes, unlike after shaving.
“The machine is small, fits comfortably in my hand, and is easy to clean. The sound is similar to a low-volume garbage disposal, which is tolerable. The cord was long enough, and it was easy to reach awkward spots. At $38, it’s a good value, especially for first-time users or those used to waxing, though I’d recommend a different machine for someone with sensitive skin. After eight to 10 days, I’ve had minimal regrowth, no ingrown hairs, and my skin looks great.”
