Braun Silk-épil Xpressive 7781 Epilator

I love my Braun Expressive Epilator. For years I have wanted to try an epilator for removing the hairs on my legs, but have been put off by stories of pain and the fact that most have looked liked instruments of torture (ok ok, so I exagerate, but you get the idea of my wimpish attitude). I was a firm "shaving will do" type of gal. It's amazing how attitudes can change once you have become a mother. You have a sort of "I've given birth to 4 children, what can hurt more than that?!" attitude which makes you look at the world in a whole new light. Out shopping one day, I saw these Braun Xpressive Epilators on offer and decided to give one a ...  Read the complete review

I ordered this epilator as a complete newcomer to the world of epilation. I'm also a wimp, hence never having tried these appliances before. Unlike waxing, this won't rip your skin off, and it also did not miss any hairs, again, unlike waxing. The epilator itself comes in an attractive presentation box, with ample instructions, an adaptor lead to charge and a pouch full of the other heads and accessories, including a shaver appliance for the faint-hearted. It was at this point that I discovered the epilator is sparkly white, rather than plain white, and it looks pretty. First of all, I tried it on my legs completely without ...  Read the complete review

I bought this after reading all the positive reviews thinking that it will be great! I had used one many many years ago and remember well how much it had hurt! and sadly, it has not changed a bit, whoever says it doesn't hurt much while epilating the underarm or bikini area IS lying!!! it absolutely killed me:( I tried the underarm and it was very painful so I stopped it after a few seconds then what was I thinking; moved over to bikini area and I was in tears so had to stop it within a few seconds, there's no way you can use this for your underarms or bikini area, if you do then you must have the highestestest pain threshold in the world!! Legs don't hurt ...  Read the complete review

This is a fabulous epilator! I have used another brand of epilator for about 10 years, but never been totally happy with it as I always seem to miss loads of hairs, so ended up having to shave afterwards as well. The new Braun model has a Smartlight which helps you to see all the hairs you have missed. As a result, I have had super smooth legs for the first time in ages. As with all epilators, you have to moisturise and exfoliate in between uses (Tendskin is useful for preventing ingrown hairs), but so far I have found that my smooth legs last quite a few days more than they used to. You can use this epilator in the bath which can help if you're finding it painful, and ...  Read the complete review
