Epilators are the holy grail for fuzz-free, silky-smooth skin and unlike shaving, which must be done every few days, and waxing which requires an ideal length of hair before your next session. If you're confused about how to choose an Epilator and how to pick the best model for your needs then the following are the features you should look for!
1. Accessories
Look for a model that comes with different attachments, so you can find the perfect setting for every area of the body. Extra attachments may vary from 2 to 8.
2. Number of Tweezers
The number of tweezers on an Epilator device can range from one to more than 70. As epilation is already time-consuming, it’s better to go with an Epilator with a higher number of tweezers.
3. Wet and Dry Use
Latest Epilators let you use them in the shower or on dry skin, but be sure to check water resistance or waterproofness before buying.
4. Corded vs Battery-operated
While corded Epilators have higher power, battery-operated Epilators are less expensive but tend to lose power over time and use. Buy the right one, keeping in mind what is more convenient for you.
If you:
- Don’t want the pain of Epilators, still want to remove unwanted body hair
- Are planning to use it wet as well as dry

Whether buying your first Electric shaver or upgrading from an older one, navigating between the vast collection available in the market can be mind-boggling. But don’t panic - here is our checklist.
1. Foil or Rotary shavers
The biggest question is the type you prefer. Foil shavers have straight heads that use blades beneath a fine perforated foil to cut hair and Rotary shavers usually have three circular heads that rotate to lift and then cut stubble captured by the outer, stationary guard. A Foil shaver is best for someone who has thick hair and normal skin. But if you have fine hair and sensitive skin go for a Rotary shaver.
2. Wet or Dry shavers
Another key consideration is to choose between wet and dry shaving. Dry shavers are ideal for use while travelling or for a quick touch-up. But they are not recommended for sensitive skin. Wet shavers should be used with shaving gel or foam and are good for sensitive skin.
3. Cleaning
Look for a model that is easy to clean. Most models can be cleaned by simply removing the head. The cleaning brush will be included with non-washable shavers. Self-cleaning shavers, on the other hand, will sanitise the head but leave stuck hair behind.
4. Battery
Your choice of the Electric shaver will likely depend on your lifestyle - mains powered, battery-operated, or rechargeable. Some models offer a quick charge option, which gives you enough battery power for a single-pass shave.
If you:
- Want to trim your facial hair and body hair at home
- Are planning to trim the hair of sensitive areas like ears, nose and eyebrows

Selecting a Trimmer can be challenging, especially with the variety of features and brands available. Continue reading, and we'll assist you in making the best choice possible.
1. Trimmer Length Range
You may cut your beard to a range of lengths with the majority of Trimmers because they include attachable combs with widths ranging from 0.2mm to 30mm. Some feature built-in combs that can be adjusted using a wheel or touchscreen.
2. Blades
To get a nice trim, the blades' durability and sharpness are crucial. Look for Trimmers that are made from high-carbon steel to ensure the best performance and stay sharper for a longer period.
3. Accessories
To simplify your shaving experience, some Trimmers will include extras. Check out what what else is offered when you purchase to get the most out of your package, whether it's extra precision blades, travel and storage cases, or even beard oil.
4. Battery
Battery life is a huge consideration when purchasing a Trimmer, as you don't want to lose power halfway through trimming your beard. Buy a Trimmer that offers run time between 60 minutes to 240 minutes from a single full charge. Also, look out for the quick charge function.

- Are looking for one solution for all hair-trimming need

A Grooming Kit might be suitable for you if you have a range of grooming needs - haircutting, beard and stubble trimming, all-over body grooming, and personal trimming. With a range of features and different brands available it can be difficult to choose one. Here are a few factors to consider that will help you buy right.
1. Number of Interchangeable Heads
When selecting a Grooming Kit, you should first check the number of attachment heads it has and the styles you can make with them. Choose a multi-groomer that meets all of your requirements to avoid carrying around several tools. Few basic blades are the Standard Trimmer Blade, T-Blade, Foil Head, Rotary Head, and Detail Head.
2. Blades
Blade quality is an important factor for the safety and longevity of the device. While shopping, check the blade material. One of the best is stainless steel.
3. Cutting Length Range
Certain body areas just need a trim whereas others may need a clean shave. Hence look for a kit that offers a wide range of cutting lengths. The ideal range is 0.2 – 25mm.
4. Battery
Battery life is also another crucial element. Rechargeable devices are not handy, but also more powerful than compared to battery-operated ones but also more powerful than compared to battery-operated ones. Choose one depending on your lifestyle.
