I am not familiar with the wet/dry epilator.

But to your question: with epilating the hair does not grow back all at once as happens with shaving. With me isolated hairs begin to appear after ten days or so, and mostly they are softer and finer--another advantage over shaving. Since the hairs do not regrow at the same rate, you will find that you will probably want to epilate every few days. 1/8 inch means that they will be long enough for the tweezers in the epilator to grip them. Over time increasingly less hair will grow back, as you pull out the roots. (This happens by itself.)

With my pubic area I usually tweeze the hairs as they appear; I only resort to the epilator when I haven't kept up my maintenance. One nice thing about the epilator is that it pulls out hairs that you may not even be able to see. Running your fingers across the area is the best way to tell if you have missed anything.

That is fantastic! Well here's to hoping this epilator works out for me. So far the pain isn't all that bad, perhaps I just have a higher threshold for pain. I noticed I did miss some spots, I will try later and see if using the epilator dry makes much of a difference.

Thanks for the info! And thank you everyone else for the contributed information.

When I bought my first epilator and used it on my pubic area, I couldn't believe how much it hurt! And, not knowing how to use it properly, I tore up my skin. I thought I had wasted the money on this device. But when my skin cleared up after a few days it was so wonderfully smooth I had to persist. Over time, through a combination of acquired skill and the adaptation of the skin, you won't feel any discomfort at all.
