Braun Silk-épil 9 Epilator for Long-Lasting Hair Removal with Electric Shaver & Trimmer, Bikini Trimmer & Exfoliator, 100% Waterproof, UK 2 Pin Plug, 9-980, Rose Gold

I’d been debating getting an epilator for a while, asking friends and family that had one what their experiences were. In the end I bit the bullet and bought this one and wow. I was scared to use it at first but the pain wasn’t that bad! Not sure if because I’ve had a lot of tattoos and laser tattoo removal that my skin was used to worse pain? I started on my lowers legs then after feeling relieved that it was only a mild pain I then did my thighs, bikini area, top lip and lastly the armpits.. now they did bring a few tears to my eye! But apart from that I found it to be a positive experience and I’m now enjoying 4 weeks hair free areas! Very pleased and if you’re contemplating buying an epilator then do it!

Well I never...I’ve been toying with the idea of getting one for months and I won’t be going back to shaving or waxing after I’ve used this product. After reading lots of reviews I made peace with the fact it might be a little painful but not only would I stop my waste by using disposable razors, I also won’t have to fork out every month for waxing. In the end the cost of this gadget outweighs the to cost of waste to the environment and dent on the wallet due to waxing.I tried everything that came in the box today and I am really happy with my purchase. The mini trimmer is such a nifty little thing for bikini line and facial hairs. It works well but you have to use a good light when trimming facial hairs and your bikini line to make sure you don’t miss any areas. It’s light and easy to manoeuvre. I have quite fine facial hair and standard bikini-line hair so the true performance of this tool would probably be determined by the thickness of your hair. The thicker or courser the hair the more you’ll have to go over the surface area.I epilated my legs and forearms as well. Yes ok it stings but I find it less painful than waxing. You’ll need to set a good amount of time aside to do a good job at grooming. It plucks most of the hair out but does require going over the surface area more than once. I shaved my armpits too. I couldn’t gather the courage to epilate the armpit but the shaver works equally as well as a razor in my opinion.I also used the brushes. Loved how soft they are to touch and the exfoliation is gentle.The downside with this product is grooming time is a lot longer than razor shaving or salon waxing.Hopefully this product won’t fail to impress and perform but I do recommend :)

Well, this is not my 1st time using an epilator, my ex husband bought one as a gift approx 20yrs ago....note that he is now ex!!!!! I swore I would never use one again due to the next level of hell that it caused, however I decided during lockdown that the pain of homeschooling and working frontline was not enough and I was fed up shaving every other day. Yes I am that hairy, not a bear though, so I decided to try it again. I had used home waxing but my dexterity is rubbish and it was awfully messy.The first time using it was indeed hellish, I had to tell my daughter not to worry about the shouting/screaming, and after completing my lower legs and under arms, yes sadist, I had legs that looked like uncooked chicken skin!!! A few days later, and much moisturiser, I had beautiful smooth legs. Lasted nearly a week, I was delighted. 2nd time using was considerably less painful and much quieter- me.Since I have used it regularly, now only every 2-3 weeks its so much more like using a normal shaver but with excellent and longer lasting results.Not used in the shower as I don't trust the mix of water and electrical equipment, not with my luck anyway although I'm sure it is fine.The exfoliating attachments are a bit rubbish tbh but the epilator itself is worth every penny x

I already have an old silk-epil 7 skinspa which I’ve had for probably 6 or 7 years and is therefore a bit tired so thought I would replace with this later version as on offer for prime day. I haven’t used it yet but I’m so glad it’s a replacement for the same brand as it DOES NOT COME WITH A UK BATHROOM PLUG!! It’s 2 pin yes but not UK no idea where it’s for, the pins are longer and thinner and blew the trip switch on my fuse board!! When I tried it again it wouldn’t charge so I compared the input / output and voltage / wattage ratings etc on the plug and the ratings matched the adaptor for my silk-epil 7 so currently it’s charging on that. Will update my review later if I ever get to use the thing!! Im hoping after all the problems caused by just plugging the thing in it IS a vast improvement on my old one or I won’t be happy!!

I've used an epilator in the past, about 10 years ago, so I knew to expect a certain level of discomfort. However, the pain level was so much lower than what I expected!The device needed fully charging before use when it arrived, which was fine by me as it arrived in the middle of the afternoon. Once charged, I've done both my legs whilst sitting in my bedroom in about half an hour. And a week later, I was still relatively smooth so only needed to go over my legs quickly - took about 10 minutes which is perfect for me. I have 3 children so don't have the time to put in more effort.It's easy to use, cordless and relatively pain free. I'm so pleased with this product!Remember ladies, that your hair goes through different growth cycles and each follicle of hair may be in different parts of the cycle, hence why in the beginning, you may be using it more because you're catching the follicle in a growth stage, rather than a resting phase. But with regular, continued use, you'll notice the hair growing less sparse and much finer.
