epilators
Electric hair removers
Epilators are electrical devices that remove hair by mechanically grasping and pulling it out at the root.
Unlike razors, which cut hair at the skin's surface, epilators extract the entire hair follicle, resulting in slower regrowth: She uses an epilator on her legs every few weeks.
The process is more painful than shaving but lasts longer than most other hair removal methods.
