Right! So, threading is less painful than waxing, and it’s clear why, but why is it less painful than those Epilady-style tweezing? Isn’t it doing the same thing?

You wouldn’t use an Epilady on your brows, probably. It seems like too inaccurate a tool; and maybe brows are less sensitive than groin-area skin. So, apples and oranges.

Does anyone even offer Brazilian threading?

Also, threading only pulls out a few hairs at a time rather than all of them all at once.

And yes, I have seen Brazilian threading. Well, I’ve seen it be offered at a place. I’ve never actually witnessed it.

  Omg. I must realized that, were I to do a search on PornHub, I’d absolutely find a video of this.
  
  Still not sure Why it would be less painful than an Epilady. It doesn’t seem as if an electric tweezer would grab more hair than threading.
  
  But, then, I’ve never had - not have I any interest in - any of these things. It sounds like you’re taking from experience, so if you say it’s worse, I’ll take your word for it.

    Because an apple lady grabs everything it can all at once. There’s no ability to be precise with it, not like with threading.
