Braun Silk-épil 5 Epilator For Hair Removal, 3 In 1, Includes Shaver & Trimmer Head, Cordless, Gentle Hair Removal Setting, Wet & Dry, 100% Waterproof, 2 Pin Bathroom Plug, 5-820, White/PinkGreenCircle Certified: Certified Energy Savings

First off I'd like to start by saying that when it comes to hair removal I'm a complete wimp. I once attempted to wax myself at home, put all the strips on, ripped the first off and then got in the shower to melt the rest of the wax! Also, when I told a family member I'd bought an epilator they actually laughed at me. I'm THAT bad.I just want to point out that those who've said it's 'painless' or they can 'barely feel it' are either lying or have some kind of nerve damage because it definitely hurts- but no where near as much as epilating used to, or waxing does. It's definitely bearable, it's just very uncomfortable the first few minutes but your body gets used it. I've found epilating in the bath really makes a difference!Back to the review:It's easy to useBattery lasts about an hourWaterproof which can make the experience less painfulIncludes a great electric razor for the bikini areaA lot easier and less time consuming than shaving- your skin also feels a lot smootherOverall a great productThe only downside is it comes with a shaving plug, not a mains one like some reviews mention but you can buy one from Amazon for around £3 so it's not the end of the world (like some have made out)

I like everything about this device.Even using the epilator head isn't too painful when compared to my previous device!Charging is quick and I can state with absolute certainty that the battery, fully charged, lasts between the manufacturer's claimed 30 minutes and, when lightly used - a quick spot of pubic topiary rather than a full on session of epilation - 57 minutes.Operating the device is simple, the instruction book covers everything that we need to know and even the watch the device looks is pleasing to my eyes.I recommend this wholeheartedly and it is now my second favourite, pink thing that vibrates and makes me happier after use than I'd have been before.Disclaimer: this is a personal appearance improving product, any other uses found by the user are simply a bonus!Why are you all still here? Buy one now and marvel at the device's range of skills.If only I'd found this sooner, I would have prevented myself from the time spent using a far less capable type of machine.Thanks for reading,Jaye ××

I have been using the Braun Silk-épil 5 Epilator for Hair Removal for over a year now, and I am very happy with it. It is a well-built and effective epilator that removes hair from the root, leaving my skin smooth and hair-free for weeks.The epilator is easy to use and hold. It comes with a variety of attachments, including a massage cap, a sensitive area cap, and a shaver head. This makes it versatile enough to use on different areas of the body, including the legs, underarms, and bikini line.The epilator is also relatively painless. It has a built-in Smartlight that reveals even the finest hairs, so you can remove them all. It also has a two-speed setting, so you can choose the speed that is most comfortable for you.

Summary:Easy to useEffectiveSmooth resultsBattery life not greatBe patientThe first time was absolutely incredibly painful. I had to build up my tolerance by doing a patch of area a day. The trick is to shave, and epilate days later when your hair is short. After this, continue to use the epilator before your hairs grow too long. You see the results over a few months. My hairs grow back so slightly I can't see them at all. Someone accidently brushed passed my leg and commented "wow how did you get your legs as smooth as a baby's bottom?"Appearance wise, I still have strawberry legs but will see if that's gone by summer.Battery life not so great. I charge after every use.I hope you enjoy this product, it's worth every penny.

I have always feared epilators, and as a beginner, this was the perfect set for me. The set includes 4 accessories: an epilator head, a beginner head, a shaving head and a mini electric razor.I found all of the accessories useful when epilating for the first time.I did not find this a painful experience and I have very sensitive skin. I really love how I can epilate and shave in the shower, which can be more soothing. I would recommend trying the product at night as it can cause inflammation.The wireless feature is SO helpful as I can easily access any angle of my skin and I can take the product anywhere I want to.Overall, I found this so useful and is one of the best purchases I have made.Thank you.

The speed is very slow and it takes ages to pull hair. Often it doesn't want to pull out just one thick dark hair. You keep it for a long and move it with different angles and then it finally pulls hair. To shave my both legs it takes me 2-2.5 hours. F*** it, too long! And always have a lot of irritation and ingrown hair after using the item. Of course I use soothing creams and exfoliation but they don't help me much.The charge of the device is only enough for mt one full leg. Then I need to charge it again (which takes about 30-40 mins) and do the next leg. The device doesn't work when charging

I have used epilators before but not for a long time, yes it hurts a bit the first time you use it especially if you’ve not waxed or shaved in a while, I’d recommend doing it in stages and taking breaks on first go, once the hairs thinned out and as long as you don’t leave too long between uses (say a week or two) you won’t have that initial overwhelming ‘ouch’ as with epilation I’ve found the hair doesn’t tend to all grow back at the same time as with shaving, I found this particular epilator leaves me with long lasting smooth legs and if you can get through the first use it’s definitely worth continuing to use, I don’t like using razors for multiple reasons and I haven’t used one now on my legs for over a month.

Really good product. Durable and long battery life. Easy to use
