Braun Silk Epil X'elle Body Epilation System

MandyBest Way To Remove HairIve tried a few methods: shaving (only lasted 3 days for me), waxing (messy & always painful), depilating (stinky! & paranoia about getting chemicals all over the bathroom), individual tweezing(who has the time?). Using this epilator has been the best by far. I read that waxing your hair before using it for the first time saves you some pain, but I was so excited to try it that I just went for it. The first time did hurt badly because I was using Veet before this, so my roots were pretty established and strong. Its definitely not the most painful thing youll ever experience in your life, and after the first few times it will barely bother you. The results are well worth it! Once you get used to the pulling/tweezing, the little massaging rollers really make it more comfortable and nice to use. Its also very noisy, but I dont think quiet epilators exist.posted Mar 29, 2008Link to this post

Darlene BetzLittlestown, PAWork Great But Ouch!I have always wanted one of these and maybe I just needed to be more patient so that the pain lessens. I have a quarter of my body tattooed and let me tell you...give me the tattoo pain anyday compared to this! OUCH! It works great but I wills tick to shaving:)posted Mar 13, 2008Link to this post

ShelbyNice Product, But Rough!this product works good and it gets all of the little baby hairs and impossibly short hairs that waxing misses. But, if you are going to use this, I definitely recommend waxing first. Then, when your hair starts growing back little by little, start using this product. then it wont be as painful. do not try to use this on a full amount of hair regrowth!My only complaint is I used it for the first time 3 weeks ago and now that those hairs are starting to grow back and they dont all break through the skin when they grow back now. its weird and it looks like stubble. What good is it to be hair free if you have something that looks like stubble all over your legs? lol. so Im trying to exfoliate to alleviate that problem. but its hard to do too much of that without making my legs look all red and irritated. I may go back to shaving for the summer and keep this around for the winter.posted Mar 5, 2008Link to this post

SarahMelbourneAwesomei love epilating! seriously! so much better than shaving or waxing! the Braun Silk Epil Xelle Body Epilation System did hurt the first time i used it, but i now im used to it and my hair has become softer and thinner and much less then there once was. im still not brave enough to use on bikini line because it does hurt, but epilating i would recommend to anyone for legs, definately! can be done in privacy of own home, easy, no mess, no waiting with hairy legs! fantastic!posted Feb 27, 2008Link to this post

K MarinoThis Thing BitesDo yourself a favor ladies. Stay away from this thing.I wanted to use it to keep my bikini line smooth and clean.I would have been better off blasting..less pain I can assure you. It may be a bit more of a hassel to shaver but its a lot safer and a lot less painful.My God, what were they thinking when they come up with this thing. Would have been great for the Inquisition.KMposted Feb 4, 2008Link to this post

AnonymousPhiladelphiaExcellent First Time EpilatorI had been thinking about buying an epilator for a while, ever since my European boyfriend told me about them. Apparently they are very popular over there. I had never used one before, but Id become tired of shaving my legs all the time and having coarse stubble. I did some research and I waxed my legs before I tried the epilator. I really like the look and feel of this silk-epil. It is quite ergonomic and the light does come in handy. I think its a great value for the price, and it includes the other heads and a little bag to keep it all together. I did try my bikini area, but it really did hurt so Im thinking about buying some lidocaine spray. I get bikini waxes regularly, but since this isnt as quick as waxing, I hesitated. Also a bit scared to try on my underarms, but eventually I want to get to the point where I never shave again. I love this!posted Jan 25, 2008Link to this post

PleasedTexasHair Not There AnymoreI purchased this epilator a few days age through the internet. I am a guy who likes to have bare armpits and bare "down there" completely. I have been shaving for the past 2 years both areas. I was thinking of waxing but was not comfortable about someone in my groin area. I have plucked all of the hairs out at various time throughout the years. I used this in my entire groin except on my testies which I will continue to shave. There was some discomfort but no hair. I looked like a plucked chicken for a couple of days which is slowly going away. I did my arm pits and my groin was more uncomfortable I think. I love this product and I will say it is uncomfortable but very bearable.posted Jan 23, 2008Link to this post

MelissaGood But Don't Be FooledIve always preferred epilators to shaving or waxing and Braun is the best brand that Ive used. I would completely recommend this product.However, dont be fooled by the description - the kit does not include the narrow epilation head, facial set, or easy starter set as was originally listed. The Q&A is deceptive since there is a reply by "customer service" that says they are all included. The individual below that countered the response by customer service is correct.posted Jan 11, 2008Link to this post

JAustraliaAmazing For Certain Areas: Hell For Others.When using this on your legs, you hardly feel any pain at all.. FAR less than waxing. (This is if you have rather thin hair, if you have thick hair and a lot of it... I recommend waxing first, Then the hairs that grow in after waxing to use this on them). But I do use it on my entire leg effortlessly.I must admit, though, the noise is extremely intimidating at first, ITS SO LOUD! But you get used to it.Now I was under the impression that you would be able to use this on your bikini line and underarms without horrific pain, but that proved to be sooo wrong. I tried to use this carefully and slowly on my bikini line: Hell. I wouldnt even go near my underarms. So im sticking with waxing for those. But it is absolutely amazing for legs!posted Nov 30, 2007Link to this post
