Braun Epilator Silk-épil 7, Hair Removal Device, Women Shaver & Trimmer, Wet and Dry, Wide Head, Includes Shaver Head and Trimmer Comb, SE7-041, Silver

I've been using epilators for 20 years, and bought this model after my last one died. It's the best I've had! It's much quieter, and my husband can't even hear it through the closed bathroom door. The flexible head is comfortable, and I like that it has two speeds. The light makes it easy to see the tiniest hairs. I also like that I can rinse it in the sink when I'm done using it. I've also used the trimmer attachment, which worked better than expected, cutting close without cutting me. The charge holds through doing both full legs. I'm very happy with this purchase.

So worth the price! I’ve waxed for years and this epilator is virtually painless. I’ll admit, I was very nervous about using it. Waxing HURTS, but at least it’s quick. The thought of having to go slowly and over a spot more than once scared me. No need to be scared. IT DOESN’T HURT! The skin massager on the head totally masks the tweezing. The only spots that actually hurt were the knees and the tops of my feet, but those are small spots and went quickly. I’m done waxing!!

I didn't read the specs closely enough when I bought this. I was looking for a facial epilator and didn't realize Braun had another one specifically for the face. The instructions did not warn against facial use either. In any case, I tried this on my chin, and it didn't remove all my thick chin hairs (I have PCOS), but it DID leave nasty "burns" on areas where I passed over the skin too many times! Well, I learned my lesson. The next time, I tried it on my legs, and it actually did very well and seems to keep the hair away much longer than shaving. As others have said, yes, it does sting a bit. Shaving cream or soap on your legs as you epilate should help. And for me, at least, the redness it leaves behind on my leg skin fades quickly (moisturizer helps). Overall, still a useful item (the facial epilator, though? Different story...).

I was really impressed with how well this epilator worked. I have had an Epilady for about thirty years. It still worked so I kept using it. I decided to treat myself to a new one and was really pleased with this Braun one. With my old Epilady, I had to go over the same area repeatedly to get it to pull the hair out. This one got everything on the first try. It made quick work of it. I like the light as well, although I wish there was one on the back side as well to confirm that the hair was removed. Overall, this was a good purchase.

This is the first time I have ever used an epilator. I like that it’s rechargeable and although it’s a bit loud, it got the job done, and my legs are soft and shiny. Make sure to use this at night or on a day you’re not planning on going anywhere. My legs were a bit swollen and had red bumps all over and I felt a stinging sensation for a while. It hurts a little bit on the legs, almost like being poked by needles but it wasn’t too bad. Breathing out during the process helps. In the bikini area it was pretty painful and I’m not ready to try the armpits just yet. I would recommend this product.

The product is as amazing as it sounds! It got rid of my hairs perfectly and they started coming in slower and less course, like I was hoping! Only thing I would warn customer is if you're going to use this on an area with course hair, it's gonna hurt! But the pain decreases the more you use it. Also be cautious if you want to use this on your face as it will most likely cause a break out. Very happy with this tool overall!

Hurts. Wish I tried earlier or would be returning
