10 Products for Totally Pain-Free Hair Removal

These hair removal products and devices are leading the war against stubble and peach fuzz, no battle wounds required
Finally, a reason to stop pilfering the men's electric shaver from the guy you share bathroom counter space with. This budget-friendly clipper and shaver is especially good for sensitive skin because the foils are made from hypoallergenic material, and it can be used in wet or dry conditions.

For a close shave, use a shaving cream and run the foils over your skin slowly; otherwise, it's ideal for trimming your bikini line if you're trying to stretch the time between waxes.

Consider this device the Cadillac of at-home hair removal. The price is steep, yes, but the results are worth a pretty penny. In clinical testing, participants had, on average, 66 percent less hair 12 months after using the device just three times (and some saw up to a 94 percent reduction). That beats the six sessions of painful laser hair removal with a stranger who doesn't even begin to promise permanent results.

Oh, and did we mention this is a pain-free treatment? The IPL device kind of feels like a cell phone vibrating against your skin. It has five settings that vary in intensity, so you can start off low if your skin is particularly sensitive. It's safe for light to tan skin and works on every hair color except for white or gray.

Silk'n Flash & Go Compact, $199
Quick and painless is how we would describe the process of using this petite little machine. This small but powerful hair removal device thins out hair in just a few weeks' usage, and can permanently reduce hair over several months. It uses pulsed light technology to zap away hairs in sensitive areas like your bikini line, underarms, legs, face... and, well, just about anywhere. Pain-wise, the flash feels like a gentle warming sensation. There's no danger of burning yourself if you've got somewhat darker skin, because the sensor in the product won't flash if it the pigment is too dark. That said, it only works for skin tones I through IV on the Fitzpatrick scale, and only on brown or black hair.

It's official: Face shaving for ladies is officially in. Beauty mavens like Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor reportedly shaved their visage, and it's a practice that leaves skin seriously baby-smooth and soft — making it primed for flawless makeup application. While this razor is a little pricier than your standard drugstore option, it's a super-sharp blade with a heavy handle that makes wielding a razor near your eyebrows (and jugular) less scary. It's not completely idiot-proof — a wrong move around tricky areas like the nose or jawline can result in a messy situation — but holding the skin taut and using small, light strokes will not only shed your skin of dead skin cells, but also an abundance of peach fuzz, too. We're talking tufts, people.

If the idea of shaving your face has Sweeny Todd-like images flashing through your head, this goofproof exfoliator and hair removal device should put you at ease. Yes, it's a blade, but the blade is encased in an outer safety cage in the form of little ridges that make cutting yourself nearly impossible. The device itself generates a sonic vibration as it glides over your skin, which helps sweep away dead skin cells... and all your peach fuzz along with it.

This hair removal product comes with a cleanser and moisturizer, meant to prep and soothe even the most sensitive skin. With six one-time use blades included, you can be sure that you're getting as close to a sterile in-office dermaplaning experience as possible.
