Summary: Painful but worth the price! 2008-08-20
Comment: Quickly noted, it IS painful. I use this product between waxing every few months to stretch my $. I have to take breaks and am red after, but it is a great product and does what it claims. The light is great! I use in the shower stall before I turn it on and all the hairs fall in there. I bought mine at Target. Try it!

Summary: Finally no more daily shaving, in-grown hairs, or sticky legs! 2008-08-17
Comment: I love this epliator! I was a teen in the 80's when the epilators back then were horrible medieval coiled devices--I never could bear the pain. The grip and the light make it so comfortable and user-friendly.
To deal with the pain for newbies: I saw another reviewer's suggestions and used them--they worked. Soak in hot water for your first time or two, dry thoroughly, then use the massage head. Believe me, after you do it a few times, the pain goes away. (Think: plucking eyebrows. Hurts at first, but after a few times not at all anymore.) So run through with the massage head a few times, then you can upgrade to the faster attachment when the pain lessens.
To deal with ingrown hairs (A MUST TO READ!!): when you epilate, if you don't do anything to your skin to prevent ingrown hairs, expect ALMOST EVERY hair to become ingrown! I have dark, thick hair and was having to shave daily. When I first became smooth with the epilator, I loved it! I didn't think anything could be worse than the 5:00 shadow I routinely got on my legs every day with shaving. I WAS WRONG! After my first epilation, I tried using Prince Reigns a few times, but it was so gross and sticky that I did not use it regularly. When the first new batch of hair grew in, it was a horror! I was covered in in-growns! The thing about Prince Reigns is, it's pretty expensive, you have to use a lot of it, so the $25 bottle goes really quickly, and it leaves this gross sticky goo on your legs that doesn't get better throughout the day...it stays sticky until your next shower--and you put on more after each shower. I felt like my skin couldn't breath and was suffocating, plus I had to be careful not to rest my hands on my legs as I sat in shorts or a skirt or I'd have to go wash them again to get the sticky residue off. And it wasn't fun for my boyfriend.
In-grown solution: a good, course body brush. You know, natural bristles on a stick like at the health food store? I recently discovered body brushing (which, by the way, makes your skin feel FABULOUS!), and decided to see if it could help prevent the in-growns, and it does. My hair is super thick and grows in very quickly, and I have to epilate at least a few days every week (versus others who can make it 3-4 weeks). I've been using a body brush for a month on my legs, and the results are just as good, if not better, than Prince Reigns. My skin is also super soft and feels buttery (boyfriend LOVES IT!), no in-grown hairs, and no more sticky, gooey legs. My skin can rock and still breathe! It's better for you, natural, and way more cost-effective.
How to use body brush: Do it dry! Don't get the bristles wet. Every day before you shower, brush down your body from chin to toe. The bristles are course and it's another thing you get used to, but you'll crave it after you start. Make sure you really go over the epilated areas well. The brush removes dead surface layers, improves circulation, and polishes and smooths the skin. Easy, takes about 3 minutes. If you love your skin and like feeling beautiful, also look into getting a Clarisonic Pro facial brush. Trust me, you'll feel like a million bucks and look like it, too!

Comment: Braun 5270 Silk-épil X'elle Body System Epilator
Great system. This is a 2nd unit for traveling. The "light" feature is most convenient. Can use the unit even while watching TV in the evenings. I wouldn't leave home without it!!

Summary: No Pain, No Gain 2008-08-15
Comment: I gave this 5 stars because it does exactly what is says it's supposed to do. I was sick and tired of having those dark shadows on my underarms from shaving so I decided to give this a try. I didn't want to wait forever to have the hair grow out to get it waxed. I've used this product 5 times over the last few weeks and it works very, very well. However, IT HURTS! My husband has to do it, because I can't. Each time it has become a little easier, but it still hurts. Keep in mind it's like 40 tweezers spinning at rapid speed ripping the hair out of the most sensitive part of your body by the root, it's going to hurt just a little. Be prepared, buy the cream too.
