Don't drink prior as Lily suggests (alcohol will make it hurt more). Don't take a bath first, I find the open pores and heat make 'that' area more sensative when epilating, avoid if possible.
Most important if doing inner 'bits' too, keep skin taught and cover any 'bits' that could get trapped in the epilator, been there done it, it friking hurts and more so to get it back off. However be confident, keep skin taught, and exhale breath when doing worst bits.
Good luck. Must be the day for it I'm doing later too lol.

Thank you. Lots of useful advice there.

Nope, can't imagine what evil sod would do that.

I have to admit, I have had the idea to do it to someone before...but I think it would just hurt so much more on lady bits than guys....

Yeah.

Ok I use an epilator. First off don't use it on your lady bits if the hair is long. Shave first then let it grow in a little bit. If you try to use it on longer hair it will be extremely painful. If this is the first time you are doing it then don't try to do it all at once. Do a bit then leave it for a while and go back to it later. Keep doing small patches till its all done. Be very careful not to catch your bits in the epilator by holding the skin as taut as you can get it. The first time is the worst - after that it gets easier as the hair weakens. Its important to exfoliate or you will get ingrowing hairs - I use exfoliating gloves from Boots as I find they work best for me. Once you have been doing it for a while it hardly hurts at all.
Hope this helps.
ETA - you can trim the hair down with scissors first as AngelFingers mentions.

Actually I think it does help, thank you.
I trimmed.
I'm rather keen to only lose hair!

Make sure you use your free hand to cover yourself - I hadn't thought of using frozen peas but that's a good idea. It really does get easier the more you do it.

What flaming free hand?
One on the instrument of torture, one pulling bits taut.... err... nope, I seem to be out of hands! "Love is the longing for the half of ourselves we have lost." — Milan Kundera

It can be done but takes a bit of practice. I can't really explain it but experiment a bit before you actually start.

Just bring it round here. I've got rope, chains and a gag and we'll have you hairless in no time. Can you tell I'm bored and have nothing better to do with my life?
Well nothing more important to do.
Well nothing I can be bothered doing to do.
And you get to suffer my writings because of it.

CLUNGE. It is art that makes life, makes interest, makes importance, for our consideration and application of these things, and I know of no substitute whatever for the force and beauty of its process.

I've always found my arm pits were unbearable because of the multiple growth directions - in comparrison, achieving a brazillian was much less painful.
I second the ice thing - mine has a little bit you put in the freezer and it's great. |

I was very surprised at how little a 'nether region waxing' hurt.
I've never been epilated though, but it can't be that bad can it? smartarse

Bloody hell girl... "dance by"??? if you are trying to epilate while dancing no wonder it bloody hurts!
Thinking that if a pain bunny finds it too sore... I am never never ever ever going to epilate there!!!!
There's a somebody I'm longing to see, I hope that he turns out to be, someone to watch over me
