| Editorial Reviews: | | |  | For anyone hesitating over whether to buy an epilator, I would say go for it. I have salon waxed for a few years now and always thought an epilator would be more painful than waxing. I decided to take the plunge. I am so pleased with the results! My legs and underarms are now perfectly smooth and it's easy to do at home. The sensation was a bit strange to get used to at first. I did my bikini line with no problem at all as well. Using the epilator is definitely less painful than waxing.
The good thing about this model, Braun Silk Epil Xpressive, is that it's so versatile. Its Hairlift system gently lifts and removes hair. It even removes short flat lying hairs from the root which gives smooth skin for up to 3 to 4 weeks. Its pivoting head adapts to all body contours and gives thoroughness. Massaging systems stimulate the skin before hair removal which helps to reduce the pain. The smartlight is brilliant for showing up little tiny hairs.
The Braun Silk Epil Xpressive body and face set also includes a Precision head for utmost precision for facial hair, a Narrow Epilation Cap for gentleness for underarm and bikini and a Shaverhead & Trimmer for shaving, trimming and shaping your bikini area.
The Braun Silk epil Xpressive is also rechargeable. It takes just 1 hour to recharge which gives over 35 to 40 minutes of running time. It is also fully washable for maximum hygiene.
I highly recommend this product - definitely worth spending on a more expensive model such as this one. -- Harshini Patel, Amazon.co.uk | |

| | I have been thinking about using an eppilator for a while but I HATE pain, especially pain like waxing. I brought this braun eppilator after reading the positive reviews here on Amazon. It is amazing. It took me a good few minutes to get past the initial wincing to realise that it's not all that bad, its a bit like plucking your eyebrows, you get used to it over time. The light is very useful and I must admit as I do have sensitive and very dry skin it did look slightly irritated for a few of hours afterwards. I have done my legs so far and am plucking up the courage to eppilate elsewhere in the future. The results are well worth the money, just have some ice ready for your first time if you think you will need it!
| | | I've never used an epilator before, reading about how painful it is really put me off. I normally wax my legs and when I don't have time to I shave. But I don't always have time to wax and shaving seems a good idea at the time but the irritation is almost unbearable afterwards. So I thought I would have to give this a try. To be honest it was quite duanting when I turned it on; the sight of the blades and the noise. After using it for about 10 seconds I was really suprised at how painless it was! (I was expecting tears to roll down my face). It was a strange sensation but it was a lot less painful than waxing and a lot quicker. So I would definitely recommend it, it lasts a few weeks and it takes just a little longer than shaving would. Being cordless is a bonus, 1 hours charge gives u 30-40 mins which is more than enough to do a pair of legs and all the little bits you get with it.
| | Much Better than my old epilator | |
| | I have been a religious epilator-user since very young age and waxing was once or twice a year affair. Thus I was used to the pain and the time that it took.
But I decided to change my previous machine and get this beautifull epilator, since it was cordless and the light seemed a good idea in theory.
So I bought it today...
Went home and immediately charged it, then went to try it.
First of all it has a great trimming cap, which is great in order to get all the hairs to just the right lenght.
Then the massage head and the new adjustable head did the job.
I was prepared for some pain, but there was none! It was quicker than usual, more precise and virtually painless!
Furthermore, the cordless option is very comfortable and the light helps you see "the ones that got away".
I would recommend it to anyone, even beginners.
And you with the old epilators, go and get one! You will not regret it and it is worth the money.
I have yet to try the precision heads, etc. but it could only get better!
Enjoy!
| | | Having done a lot of research online into epilating
(after discovering that shaving was no longer an option for me - and deciding that waxing was too expensive, messy, and being revolted at the thought of regrowth) i made an investment into the latest braun offering.
After hearing numerous tales of woe - epilators being banished to the backs of cupboards and draws to repress painful memories - and plain disappointment from those who said when they tried it simply didnt work, i was fully prepared for a long painful hair removal session.
Opening the box my initial impression was "ooh it comes with a nice bag", which is convenient since it comes with a plethora of different heads (face/bikini aka precision head, efficiency head, efficiency head plus massagers, beginner head, underarm head, and shaver/trimmer. Not to mention the comb!) and a packet of 'pre-epilation wipes'.
After reading my instruction booklet to be fully informed and working out which head i needed i was ready...
Switching on the Braun Silk Epil Xpressive 7681 epil to Speed 1 i was disconcerted by the noise and the terrifying sight of the blades turning!
However i took a deep breath, and after using one of the wipes, starting at a hairy little ankle i tried...
And it was fine! More than fine!
I could barely feel it - i could feel the hairs being removed but it hurt much less that plucking my eyebrows!
So pleased was i that i bravely went upto the highest speed - still ok!
As pleasant as the massage rollers felt, i decided to brave the efficiency head on speed 2!
And it was fantastic!
Both legs done i was ready for more - i attached the underarm head and did that too! This was a little more sensitive but nothing i couldnt handle.
I even had a go on the bikini line, which also was bearable!
The results are amazing, id recommend epilating to anyone - results are as smooth as a wax, and last as long, plus you can get the little beggars as they crop up rather than waiting for a whole leg to turn into the amazon.
Plus my legs look better - since im dark - as the roots arent visible anymore, same goes for my underarms.
I think the head attachments are necessary - particularly if like me you have bony knees, the precision head is much better at angling!
I cant believe i've shaved all these years and have recommended epilating to everyone since - my mother and sister agree its painless, quick and easy and will also be investing.
This new model is quite pricey compared to the older types, but its rotating head and smartlight are the advances it has over its rivals - its well worth every penny, and compared to a professional wax it really isnt that much.
I would highly recommend this product to anyone (and have done to everyone so far!) the main issue for most seems to be the pain - and its much less than a wax. I do have a high threshold for pain, but since having tried it out on wimpy family members who agree its a odd yet painless sensation i cant understand why anyone would opt to shave given this much more satisfactory alternative.
So i'd say go for it! (after all it comes with a 2 year guarantee, and you can always return it if you have any problems)
