  • I’d suggest trying waxing - as it’s legs I think you would be able to learn how to do that yourself eventually. It’s the one thing that has worked for me somewhat reliably for my arm pits (long story), though I haven’t tried legs as I don’t need to.

    My wife has the Braun silk epil and we have the Braun IPL. Tried both for arm pits and lower back (…I’m a hairy man, not even gonna bother with other parts, just those that I need/wanted to try), and whilst the combination of the two lasted a bit longer than shaving, the results were still not as good as waxing. Also I find wax a bit more bearable to endure than epilators, but that would probably change with time.

    Another upside is that not all the hair grow back, it’s gradual, and they are softer.

    Downside is that you’ll have to figure out what works for you if you go down that road. We ordered a little heater of Amazon and found some wax pellets there too after the batch that came with heater ran out. None of the wax strips (wax on backing paper) worked for me though and they would end up being a bit pricey in comparison, but they may be ok for legs? And for me the major downside was that I can’t really do my arm pits on my own with the hot wax, so wife does it for me.
