Shescaping: No More Tears Personal Grooming

When Cindy from Boston reminisces about her college days, she recalls with shame that she had a bush that could be as dense as a small forest. The now thirty-plus singleton resorted to scheduling clandestine waxing rendezvous, sometimes as late as 1:00 am, with the local spa to avoid running into people she’d see around campus.

While those memories are from years past, there are still a significant number of men and women like Cindy who try to sneak in their beauty treatments, or avoid them altogether, because they are too ashamed to get “caught” on the scene.

We all have our own beauty hang-ups, male or female, and whether you’re beaming, waxing, spraying or coloring your most private parts, the experience can be mortifying, expensive and/or a total time suck.

Luckily for all there is a new esthetician in town and it’s mobile. Silk’n SensEpil is a personal grooming system that lets you get rid of unwanted hair in the comforts of your own home. Amy Miller, an editor at SingleEdition.com, recently got a chance to test the product out for herself and here are her before and after comments:

Before:

After years of waxing and shaving, my armpits and legs have become a maintenance nightmare. I was eager, though somewhat scared, to try the Silk’n SensEpil device on my own body but I am pleased to report that the system was a plug and play dream come true.

Not only was Silk’n SensEpil easy to use, it was far less painful then the torture I experienced with professional laser treatments, which by the way never seemed to last despite the forever guarantees. During my first application, I experienced a slight tinge of pain but nowhere near as caustic as tweezing out the leftover ingrown hairs which waxing and shaving often forces me to do.  It took me less than 20 minutes to cover the entire surface area of my underarms which, when you factor in my weekly trips to the waxing salon, is not a lot of time. Despite warnings, I experienced no after effects like skin irritation, redness or rashes which was a bonus for me.

After:

Six treatments of self-zapping later, I am a D-I-Y laser hair removal addict! Though it’s been tempting, I have made sure to stick by the safety instructions by waiting a week between treatment sessions and oh boy has it paid off. I have moved from my armpits, which are almost hair-free with no signs of regrowth, to my calves and am now braving my bikini line. In less than two months, I have noticed major changes after using Silk’n SensEpil - where body hair was thickest and darkest, it's now either nonexistent or extra-fine.
