Braun Silk-epil Xpressive 7681

I cannot believe I am writing a review for an epilator. Really - I cannot. I am the biggest wuss out there when it comes to pain, and ever since I was a teenager I have been happy just to shave to get rid of the hair on my armpits and legs (fortunately I am blessed with blonde hair on my arms so don't need to remove that) and for many years was very happy with an old Boots Ladyshave to do the job. Of course times change, as does technology, and these days shaving seems to be the "poor relation" to techniques with a longer lasting result, such as waxing, creams or dare I say it, epilators. I cannot stand creams as the smell ...  Read the complete review

I have to say this is one of the best epilators on today's market. It's chargeable, so you can epilate pretty much anywhere. I love the electric adaptor too, because it uses the shaving socket in bathrooms meaning when you travel (to hotels and some modern home bathrooms) you have access to an electricity supply. But I don't like the SmartLight thing just above the the dial - it's blinding! And it's not possbile to switch it off. I've tried covering it up with some cloth, but how inconvenient is that?!? It's also so bright that it can shine through most cloth... what kind of light is it and will it really make me go blind?? I don't look ...  Read the complete review

OK so I'm no stranger to epilating and have done my legs for years with my trusty, old epilator but tried my underarms once and hardly even got going it was so painful. Decided it was time to invest in a new one and particularly wanted one for doing under my arms. So after reading 'hundreds' of reviews I decided this was the model for me. There's a variety of different heads/caps to use; Standard massage system Efficiency Cap (for fast epilation) Beginner Cap (also for sensitive skin) Underarm Cap (also for other delicate body areas) Precision head (face and sensitive areas) Shaver head attachment with opti-trim ...  Read the complete review

I got this epilator from amazon for £34.00 a few weeks ago on offer. After reading a few reviews on it I figured this was probably one of the better models out there. I am always keen to find long lasting ways of getting rid of unwanted hair and I have through the years tried most methods. From hair removing cream (crap!), sugaring, waxing and shaving. Recently I have gone between waxing and shaving between waxes. I hated having to wait for the hair to grow and even though I used the wax strips that claim to target short hair as well, I wasn't too satisfied. So i bought the Braun Silk Epil. This epilator comes with a little silver pouch to keep its bits and ...  Read the complete review

This is my first experience of epilating and I opened up the package with a little trepidation. This feeling increased as I saw the amount of attachments that it had with it. So I thought I'd better read the instruction book, I don't normally but I thought it best not to take a chance with hair removal! Anyway, it was very clear and once I had sorted out what all the bits did (and paused for a minute to be impressed that it also had a shaver attachment) I summoned my courage and gave it a go. I selected the beginner's epilation head which reduces the area that's being epilated and so the attendant discomfort - it did say that this would reduce over ...  Read the complete review
