I am obsessed with my Epilator! I want everyone to know how great these are! I got into waxing a year ago and loved it because I have coarse dark hair that requires a daily shave to be smooth... I rarely felt I could get through a day without feeling like I need to shave again. I tried sugaring, hot wax, hard wax. I love the outcome of waxing, but waxing hurts, it always makes me flinch when they pull, and its expensive. I don't like having to wait until my hair grows out to then shelve out a bunch of money to start the process over again. I asked the last person who waxed my legs and all my girlfriends but no one had heard of an epilator, and if they did, they thought that I was an old school product that sounded really painful. I decided to try this Braun epilator after some research and figured 1. Braun guarantees your satisfaction with the epilator and 2. its not that much more money than a wax. When I first turned it on I was a bit freaked out. It took me awhile to have the courage to put it to my leg. I took a hot shower and just had to go for it. Now I am obsessed. This is such a great product. You can use it wet or dry, it picks up short hairs so you don't have to wait for grow-out, it hurts way less than a wax, and its a one-time investment for many uses. I am so glad I found out about epilators and encourage you to give it a try. I think waxing (hot, hard or sugaring) hurts way more. I have very sensitive skin. After waxing I usually have red bumps on my leg for 36 hours or so. This doesn't happen for me when I epilate. Some tips: I clean my legs with Tend Skin Solution after I epilate and then later put on coconut oil. When you epilate go slow, and sometimes you have to move the epilator in different directions (not just up and down) to get all the hairs. I first epilated my legs after my final wax, so that may have contributed to my first epilating session being a breeze (since my hairs were more fine than had I been shaving). All in all, I am telling all my girlfriends about this and considering getting them as gifts for my friends. Last weekend I epilated in my back yard in the sun and then went to the beach. My legs looked great. I have already saved money. So much better than waxing or shaving! Give it a shot, it may just become your favorite beauty hack :) Read more

As a licensed esthetician in the state of California, I can say I fully love this device! I normally break out my waxing kit and wax at home. But I now have a 2 year old running around my house and getting into everything. I don’t feel comfortable leaving my waxing warmer out to heat up and stay heated as I’m attempting to wax. So when I looked into epilators I wanted to make sure it was top of the line and would do everything I wanted with promised performance.I can honestly say I am so impressed with this device! I was able to easily remove my hair without having to worry about my 2 year old attempting to get into something he shouldn’t.Does it hurt? Well I’m going to say it depends on your pain tolerance level. I can handle a decent amount of pain. So for me I tried a small area first to test it out since I didn’t know what kind of pain to expect. It was fairly uncomfortable to start. Once I got used it it, which was fairly quick, I just went to town!Tossing my razor in the trash and packing up my wax kit because this epilator is my new go to! I love the smooth results! Read more

I got this product, opened it, and I saw little tiny hairs on it. The product has very clearly been used. This is disgusting. Returning. Read more

I’m a little on the fence with this product (and I guess epilators in general). I’ve tried one epilator before, an old model, and it hurt REALLY bad and I decided I was just gonna stick to shaving. But years have gone by and I’m tired of shaving and tired of being wasteful blasting through razor heads all the time. I decided to get this product because it seems nicer than most other epilators with all of its different interchangeable pieces and the rotating head. As expected, it hurt realllll bad the first time I used it. I tried it dry first and it was unbearable. My leg hair is thick and it felt like I was getting stabbed all over. I stopped and decided to try it in the shower. I exfoliated my legs with a body scrub first and made sure I was in the shower for a while so the steam could really open up my pores and soften my skin. The pain wasn’t as bad, but still quite uncomfortable, and I think I have a pretty high tolerance for pain. In the shower it was bearable in small areas at a time. You definitely have to pull the skin very taut or else it kind of drags/snags on the skin and doesn’t actually pull the hairs out. I was kind of surprised that there wasn’t that baby smooth feeling afterwards, it took several passes to feel smooth. It took about an hour to do both of my legs. I definitely have red dots all over but my skin isn’t super irritated. I put on a healing moisturizer after and my legs feel pretty smooth. I’m just hoping that this really does make the hair on my legs grow in thinner and slower. That would make it worth it. Otherwise I’d much rather stick to the quick and painless route of shaving.UPDATE: redness and irritation completely gone within 24 hours, though it did get worse before it got better. It’s been several days and my legs are still smooth, a few tiny hairs are growing in here and there. This is unbelievable for me. Like I said, my hair is very thick and it will grow back literally 12 hours after shaving. To go several days and still be smooth is amazing! Read more

Okay listen. I use to spend so much money at the salon waxing... this has saved me so much. It works great! I use it on my face, legs, and arm pits. Im not gonna lie, the arm pits hurt...I don't know if I'll build up tolerance but O.M.G. did it hurt. My face and legs are completely tolerable and although it takes a bit of time im completely happy with it. Knocked one star off for the pain in the pits!UPDATE**** I've only been using this a couple of weeks now....I was using just the razor feature on my legs when it split open and cut my leg! Im very disappointed. I had high hopes for this, as you can see by my initial review. Read more

Before getting this I was a frequent waxer so my hair is quite fine and sparse.Legs - used the roller head, speed 2, completely painless, quick and easy. I won’t ever wax my legs again. It leaves a few hairs but they are so fine, waxing would have just broken them off too. The efficiency head works nicely as well.Underarms - the smaller heads I find just hurt more and take longer. Both roller and efficiency heads work fine. Speed 2 hurts less and gets more hairs. Does a great job. Won’t go back to waxing.Brazilian - yes I did it. Don’t do this unless you’ve had at least 20 waxes. This is not for the faint of heart, it was very intimidating and there was a pretty steep learning curve. At first it hurt more than waxing I’d say. I recommend getting to know your Epil a bit first before driving in. Now that I know what the hell I'm doing it’s easier and less painful. Don’t use the smaller heads, use the efficiency head and speed 2. This thing will get hairs out by the ROOT. I swear many of those hairs are not coming back. Don’t know if I’ll stick with this or not. Definitely great for a cleanup of the bikini line for bathing suit season.Face - I’ve never had to wax anything on my face, just tried it on baby hairs just to see what would happen. OUCH, wtf. Won’t do that again. Read more

This epilator is amazing. I've had it for a few months now and no longer need razors. It removes even the tiniest hairs that could not be removed from waxing (about 2mm). I even use the epilator on my face and it does a great job (better than plucking and much faster too) although I have gotten pimples because of it. Now I've learned to let the epilator run in rubbing alcohol for a few seconds before using it on my face and apply an acne treatment after epilating - problem solved. Good thing it's waterproof. I have gotten a few ingrown hairs after using the epilator and that is my only con about the product. My skin feels smoother than ever and hair no longer grows back all at once so it is very easy to maintain. Removing hairs is quick. It does take a bit longer than using a razor but it's worth it. Less messy than waxing. The trimmer does a great job too, it is a bit better than my husbands trimmer but shhhh don't tell him I've used his. In terms of pain, I'm not going to sugar coat things - it feels like plucking at super fast speeds because that's essentially what's going on. But, less hairs =less pain. So the more you use it and if you regularly maintain, it gets easier and less painful. Also, the shorter the hairs the better. Lastly, just a tip: tie your hair (on your head if it's long) when you're using the epilator. A loose strand may get caught and it seems like it would hurt quite a bit (judging by how the product works). No, it has not happened to me.I highly recommend this product and wish I could go back in time to tell my more harier self about it because it would have saved me years of frustration, nicks and cuts, razor burn, razor bumps, wax stickyness, time, and money.

I had been researching epilators for a while before I decided to take the plunge. I picked this one because of the great reviews I found for it, and because it had all of the accessories I wanted. The bikini trimmer was also a nice bonus as I had already been looking for one.Before I epilated I took a hot shower and exfoliated well. I used the massaging cap on my legs and while it was still painful it wasn't unbearable. I found taking deep breaths to be helpful. I was able to fully epilate my legs in about 30 mins. Most of the reviews I've read said that the upper thigh area is more painful than lower legs but I didn't find that to be the case. The only really painful spot was my knee caps and I still haven't completely finished them due to that. Otherwise it was OK and will get less painful with time so I'm looking forward to that.The following day I got the guts to try it on my underarms. This is where I was so glad that I bought a wet/dry epilator to use in the shower to help with the pain. I used the sensitive area cap and some shaving cream to help the epilator glide more easily over the wet skin. I was very surprised at how easy and quick it was, I found my armpits to be even less painful than my legs. However, I did sugar wax my armpits about a week before this so there wasn't a full amount of hair, I think this helped with making the process less painful, as well as the fact that I was doing it in the shower.It's been almost a week now and I only have a small amount of tiny stubble on my legs and underarms. But nothing compared to what it would be if I had shaved. I plan on using this one a week for the first little while and hopefully eventually will only need to use every 2-3 weeks.I'm very happy with this purchase. This is definitely one of those things that will change my daily routine for the better.I would say this is one of, if not the best epilators available at the moment.-The wet/dry option is wonderful for pain management and convenience.-The smart light is a huge help and I can't imagine not having it.-The shaver head/trimmer attachment is great for anywhere you don't want to epilate.-Sensitive area cap is helpful for more precision in smaller areas like the underarm and bikini area (although I've yet to try it on bikini)-The facial cap is the only feature I haven't tried only because I don't really need to but I was glad it was included so I have the option.-Efficiency cap will come in handy once I get past the first few sessions as it gives a closer/faster epilating experience.I can honestly say I wish I would have discovered this sooner. Its worth the money and minuscule amount of pain to have smoother skin for longer.Update: I just epilated for the second time, one week after the first. The pain has decreased dramatically! Barely felt a thing. Read more

Wow! Vraiment très contente du résultat. Après avoir passé de nombreuses années à me raser avec un rasoir, c'est officiellement fini! Je recommande grandement.Très facile d'utilisation, mais douloureux pour la première utilisation... Voyez l'efficacité par vous-même sur la photo! 1 semaine de repousse avec un rasoir. Read more

I was so excited about this due to all the positive reviews.1- you can’t use it unless it is fully charged and you can’t use while it’s being charged. It only holds 30 min of use after a full charge.2- I’ve used epilators my whole life. I used this last night (I received yesterday), all of my arm, my face my knuckles basically anywhere it touched I had hives. It got so bad my husband took me to ER. I was given a shot of antihistamines. I’m not sure if this was a used epilator or unsanitary or what. I still have the marks on both arms knuckles and face. No longer itchy but my husband threw it out and said you can’t trust these companies. Read more
