If you don’t know what an epilator is, it is an instrument of hair-removal and torture. A woman on IC was asking what it’s like to use on pubic hair. Here is my reply:

Personally, I steer clear of my own crotch with anything more lethal than a razor, beard-trimmer or the occasional visiting lady with a waxing kit. I do epilate my legs and armpits, but as a Domme with only the slightest of switchy tendencies, any masochistic urges I do have will never, ever, ever extend as far as slow muff-ripping.

As for the levels of pain, it depends how hairy you are and the thickness of the hairs themselves. Small wispy ones are relatively painless, but massive pubey ones – the dandelions of the ladygarden – hurt like nothing else on earth. If this post hasn’t yet put you off, I’d recommend having a thorough trim first so that longer hairs don’t get tangled up in the mechanism. I once saw a woman take an epilator to a full bush and it ended up looking like some kind of horrific incident that involved C3PO stumbling into an industrial loom.
