Braun Silk-épil 7 SensoSmart™ Review

Quick and easy to use, removes the hair and gives me more time between treatments. There is no going back each day or every other day, instead I only need to run this over once every week or other week to maintain my grooming. I was scared it would hurt but this is far less painful than waxing.

I am not really a huge fan of this as I feel not only does it hurt but it makes my skin very irritated! In saying that my mum uses this and she absolutely loves it! I did find when I was using it that hair grew back a lot slower unlike shaving which is an every day sort of thing, I used this about 3-4 times a week! So if you can put up with the slight tingling pain and skin irritation then it'd be fine!

this product really doesnt advertise the fact it really hurts but its tolerable after a while, its best for underarms as it removes all the hairs not so much on your legs doesnt really remove much but maybe thats just me, but its sooo great for underarms!!

Removes hair by pulling them out from the roots. Not messy so easier than waxing but quite painful when first used especially around the ankles. I didn't use it for bikini line as thought it might be too painful. Better result than shaving as lasts longer and grows back softer. Once you have used it a few times you get used to it. Not as quick as shaving because I found I had to go over the same area a number of times to get all the hairs.

I brought this with the expectation that I would use it to do legs and armpits and save on waxing costs. To begin with I did this and it did the trick however it was painful and took so long! Like forever! I soon gave up, now I have gone back to shaving my legs, this is something I really didn't want to go back to. I still use it to do my underarms and the battery seems to be slowly getting a shorter lifespan. It will now only last just enough for my underarms. One thing I don't like is that you cannot use it when it's plugged in so once the battery is dead that's it. I have had it about 4 years now. Tried using it in the bath on my legs to see if that makes it easier but it really didn't pick up any hairs then!

I hate shaving and have been known to go months without shaving. Once I did my research I chose this one because it can be used wet and dry. Multiple heads so make different areas easier. It's loud but charges quickly. First use stings but gets easier. If the room is warm it seems easier.

This epilator will hurt the first time you use it. It plucks your hair out, but I recommend to move the epilator slowly to your skin as it is more likely to pluck more hairs out.

However, it doesn't remove short hairs really well. If you have sensitive skin, you might want to know that whenever the hair grows back, it gets really itchy. So I pretty much use it on my underarms since I can't stand having itchy legs.

Overall, great product, saves you money from waxing and saves time as well.

I wanted to start epilating so I could reduce the amount of time spent shaving my legs and underarms. I have used it twice on my legs but the amount of ingrown hairs I get means that I have red bumps and itchy skin for the next two months and need to spend a whole lot of time exfoliating to get my skin back to normal. Not such a time saver.

I do still use it to epilate my underarms. It hurts and can be hard to get into such a small area since there awkward angles to deal with but once its done the results are worth it. It keeps the hair gone for a week or more and then I'll shave the (much lighter) regrowth for the next month before epilating. Stops the annoying 'shadow' I used to get daily which is great.
