Don't know what kind of epilator you have, Jannet. I recently upgraded to a Braun model that has a light, which helps a lot in detecting the finer hairs.

I have two epilators at present.

One is a Braun silk epil-7. It has the light ( maybe that's the one you have ? ) I find it a fairly quite epilator, it's not much noisier than a shaver. It does show up the fine hairs with the light, but the heads have trouble grabbing them.

The second epilator is a cheap Chinese one from eBay, it has three heads , is very noisy, the battery no longer holds a charge but it still grabs the fine hairs better than the Braun.

I am willing to buy another, but unless it is going to grab fine hairs it will be usless to me.
