I have a theory that a lot of the pain comes from when the epilator slips off the hair or breaks the hair instead of pulling it out completely at the root. My thinking is that if the epilator successfully pulls out the hair it only needs to tug on the follicle once so minimal pain, but if it keeps tugging on the follicle from mowing down the hair, or just slipping off before completely pulling it out, it'll keep stimulating the follicle so more pain. I find that when a patch is able to be fully and cleanly epilated with no cut hairs left behind it's pretty painless. But when it starts leaving stubbly cut hairs behind that's when it starts hurting a lot. All that being said, I'm not sure how to stop it from breaking hairs. As for slippage, maybe it'd help to make sure that you and the epilator are completely dry before epilating, if you haven't already done so.
