    <3 im so sorry you fell for its song, good luck, did you cut the leg hair down to ~ 5mm prior to epilating? (thats around 0,19685 freedom units… or about one fifth of an inch?)

      i shaved a couple weeks ago and grew it out, idk how to actually measure the length of hair but I did my best using a fabric ruler and i think it was just about 5mm??

      going over it with the trimmer attachment didn’t cut off any hair tho n it’s supposed to trim down to 5mm soooo im assuming im good??

        :/ then it was probably just because it was the first time… it really hurts bad the first couple of times… it may help to go by hand for a bit and lighten up that forest with flat tipped tweezers? just ripping one hair out or a group of three or what ever you have ^^‘’ may be less painful than the constant buzz of the rollers… just use new and disinfected tweezers
