The best hair removal products to use at home

The world's first epilator with a fully flexible head. If you can handle the pain - then getting an epilator is a no-brainer. We recommend starting with small patches on your legs to get used to the sensation and build up your tolerance from there. This kit includes the epilator, a charger, two different heads, a travel pouch and a cleaning brush. You'll have everything you need to get started.

Customer review: "I absolutely love this product. I was nervous about the pain before I first started but it was bearable and the more I used it the less painful it was. It's really flexible so ideal for hard-to-reach places like the back of the knees. Perfect to use dry or in the shower. I honestly don't know how I got by without this for so long. I can't imagine switching back to any other hair removal."

For a safe yet quick way to shave intimate/sensitive areas of your body, we highly recommend getting yourself an electric razor if you're genetically blessed with stupidly fast hair growth. Our top pick for an electric razor is the Philips Ladyshave, which you can use both wet and dry.

Customer review: "I had an older type Philips shaver and decided to upgrade, I wanted something small, cordless and powerful and this shaver did not disappoint!!! It is the closest shave I have had with a mechanical shaver, not quite as smooth as a wet razor but close, no shaving rash, no soreness after shaving and applying deodorant straight away like my old one and most importantly no cuts!! So good that you can do a decent Hollywood by yourself!!!! Underarms, bikini line and area and legs were all shaved, fast, easy, quiet, brilliant, I would highly recommend this to anyone, and as an added plus wet and dry!!! Marvellous!!"

Dermaplaning is the hip, new hair removal method loved by celebrities such as Laura Anderson and Belle Hassan. Essentially a razor safe enough for the face, a dermaplaning tool will get rid of any unwanted peach fuzz or rogue eyebrow hairs. Our favourite is the Hollywood Browzer, an affordable option with a precision tip.

Customer review: "I cannot believe I ever managed without this product. I had quite a bit of peach fuzz on my face and it was getting more the older I got. I tried everything. Cream, shaving and IPL and epilating. None were great or sustainable. This product is amazing I will never go back! It will be replaced over and over! It removes the fuzz, my face feels super smooth and it's quick. My make-up goes on smoothly and looks so much fresher. You do have to repeat weekly but it takes no time at all just a minute before you do your make-up. Love it. 5 stars."

Are you a waxing kinda gal but don't want to pay hefty fees to get it done in a salon? Well, we've got good news for you. You can now buy waxing kits to use at home, like this Mylee one that includes a wax heater, strip wax, paper strips and more.

Customer review: "I was really sceptical about this only because I'm the biggest baby when it comes to waxing. I normally have to take paracetamol when I go to the salon! However, this was the most painless wax I have ever had and I did it myself! The strips are thick and fluffy so do not hurt when you pull off the wax and the whole setup is so simple and professional. The additional gel to soothe and cream for after come in massive bottles and will last a lifetime and you get lots of strips and wooden spatulas. I normally pay £30 a leg wax at a salon and after using this I will never go to a salon again. Amazing for beginners like me and I've recommended it to all my friends. Thank you Mylee!"

It's always handy to have a razor for shaving on hand - especially for those last-minute nights out with the ladies. But what if you've run out? Never fear - if you get a razor subscription, such as the FFS one, you can customise how many razors you receive every two months. Genius. With your first delivery, you also get a travel set and shower holder. When you're done with your blades, you can send them back to FFS to recycle them.

Customer review: "Amazing quality handle very comfortable to use. I like the way it's not too light and gives you an extra smooth glide across your legs. My legs have never felt so smooth I love it and have recommended it to everyone."

Hair removal creams seem to be underutilised in the modern age, mainly because of their toxic smell that you can't seem to get out of your nose. Well, times have changed - and nice-smelling hair removal creams exist. Our fave is the Woo Woo! Tame It cream because it can be used on intimate areas, as well as your legs.

Customer review: "Great product. I have to leave it on a little longer than recommended for first use, but once you figure out the timing for you, it works well. Don't usually get ingrown hairs/ razor bumps on regrowth."

Continuously going viral over on TikTok, the hair removal stone is the latest hair removal product the internet won't stop banging on about. Is it worth the hype? We seem to think so. This version from Amazon has 3,306 five-star reviews, and being under £10, it's a worthwhile tool to add to your basket.

Customer review: "I bought this in the hopes that it wouldn't leave me with strawberry legs and make my skin feels silky smooth, and it did just that - use it on dry skin and apply moisturiser after a couple of hours, not straight away as it may sting. Overall very happy with the product, definitely will recommend it. However, do keep in mind that it takes a while!"

If you're determined to say goodbye to your body hair forever, you'll want to invest in an IPL laser device. The Philips Lumea, currently discounted by £110, guarantees "up to 92% hair reduction in as little as 3 treatments on legs." It can also be used, alongside its various attachments, on the face, body, bikini and underarms.

Customer review: "I have been using it as instructed and am now on my fourth treatment. The results are simply incredible and I genuinely think I should have both this years ago. The real results started to show after the third treatment and the growth under my underarms, my bikini, my lip, my legs were almost entirely gone."

If the dermaplaning tool above didn't call your name, a facial trimmer like this one from Argos is a safer option if you're newer to the facial trimming world. This little gadget is painless, with no redness or irritation for all skin types and tones. Argos is the MVP when it comes to realistic hair removal methods.

Customer review: "Was sceptical about the Flawless after reading the mixed reviews, but after years of painful waxing and smelly hair removal creams I thought I would give it a go. I wish I had bought on early it is absolutely brilliant. There is still no hair regrowth after nearly three weeks. My advice is don't hesitate - treat yourself, you won't regret it."

After you've got your hair removal tool sorted, you'll want to look for a shaving product to make the process smooth and with no rashes in sight. May we introduce - Gilette's satin care range? Not only does it smell lush without being overly fragranced, but it is perfect for a smooth glide for your manual or electric razor.

Customer review: "This gel is so creamy and thick and a little amount goes a long way, allowing the razor to easily glide over your skin with no nicks or cuts. It also rinses away easily leaving your legs super smooth. I use this gel with the Venus Extra Smooth blades and shaving my legs has never been easier. I've used Gillette women's shaving products for years and now wouldn't use anything else."
