I use the Braun Silk-Epil. I don't do my legs because I'm too much of a chicken and I never really minded shaving my legs. But I *hated* keeping up with the bikini area. Those red bumps and the irritation! Argh!
You need to trim the hair down to 1/4". Then going very slowly, hold the skin taut and sort of move the epilator to catch just a few hairs at a time. The first time you do it, it takes a *long* time to do the pubic area because it's very dense and those hairs are deep. Don't flip out if you see blood. I ended up doing it over the course of a few nights.
Once it's done, I do touch-ups every few days to a week. The touch-ups are almost nothing. A little stinging, but done quickly. And in-between, you are *smooth*. I mean, like porn-star smooth. Even better than waxing because no need to grow-out before doing it.
I'm working up the gumption to do my legs too. I do so like being nearly hairless.
