This epilator is the cream of the crop! It met all of my expectations and more!
Packaging is nice, but whatever, let's get to the good stuff. It is well-designed, comfortable bean shape that fits nicely in the palm of your hand. It allows for good grip and control, especially with the components on the inside rumbling around. I used this on my forearms, upper thighs, lower legs and even....underarms. The epilator worked well for all areas and the massaging rollers really do help ease/numb any discomfort you may have. I braced myself for the pain, and was surprised to find little to none at all (keep in mind I'm a regular waxer). The sound of the epilator is a little overwhelming, as it is quite loud. The optional shaver head is great on it's own and even better with the trim attachment---does the job quickly and...Read more 383 of 387 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

I don't know what to say...this is a great product! I remember back in the '80s, we had this crude epilator with a curved rubber tube with tiny slits in it that would open up on the bottom and then close as the tube rotated. Well, it didn't work worth a crap and it hurt like the devil when it did grab a hair. So a couple decades later and there's finally a epilator that works the way you'd expect it to. And the greatest thing is, is that it doesn't hurt in the long run. It'll hurt a bit at the beginning, especially when you're doing thick patches of hair, but subsequent sessions it actually feels good. Basically the density of the hairy area you're doing, the more it'll hurt. Think about it...the more hairs you're pulling out at any given time, the more pain you feel...makes sense, right? But when you're just going afetr a afew strays or the sporatic regrowth, you'll hardly feel it. Anyway, here's the deal. Hair grows in...Read more 505 of 514 people found the following review helpful: By Mark Twain (Seattle WA USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Braun 5270 X'elle Body System Epilator (Health and Beauty) I'd give it 10 stars if I could. This device has been a lifesaver for me. I am too much of a chicken to go to a salon; however, with a little trial and error, I've learned to do the epilation everywhere, even on bikini and underarm. My smooth skin gives me so much confidence, and it does not hurt a bit anymore. If you are a chicken like me, follow my instructions instead of the manual, provided you are willing to invest a lot of time initially. I said initially, because, after a couple of months, the pain will subside and you'll be able to do it any way you want, while watching TV or lulling your baby to sleep. (Yes, the sound does soothe the baby! Consider that an unadvertized perk.) So here is how to start. 1) Take a long, hot bath. 2) Shave. If you are persistent, that's the last time you ever will. 3) Use SilkEpil on just shaved skin. Yes, there will be hardly any results, but there won't be any pain either, and...Read more |
