Braun Silk-épil 7 SensoSmart™ Review

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!!

I find self waxing time consuming and messy whereas epilating once used to it is so much more efficient and this epilator is by far the best I have tried. I like that it comes with several different heads, specifically a trimmer. I got used to the discomfort a lot quicker than I thought and haven't actually used the wipes. I especially like that its cordless and doesn't take very long to charge up.

I bought this brand/model after much deliberation and searching. I was looking for an epilator that could do face (that dreaded upper lip) as well as body and sensitive areas like underarms etc. This one ticked all the boxes and even had a couple of extra options for not a lot more than the next model down. It has wet/dry ability, it had an easy interchange system and even a trimmer attachment in case you need to trim the grass first. This model also comes with a brush head and adapter, I have only used it a couple of times on my arms and legs... it's not harsh but the instructions recommend you don't leave it in one spot for too long. I found it exfoliated alright but I prefer to use a glove or loofah. Instructions also recommend you do this one or two days prior to epilating.There is a massage head as well but I haven't yet used it and I don't know if I will.The actual epilating part I thought would be more painful but it has two speeds and a smaller cap for sensitive areas or a large cap for larger areas such as legs and at most it felt like a scratch or a tiny ping (to me anyway).I found that the process of epilating takes a bit of time and was actually a bit tedious but I liked the result (missed a hair or two in places but managed to get them the next time) I also didn't follow the instructions at first by using a circular motion, but a slow up and down motion. It didn't leave me completely smooth but I am happy with the results and will continue to use on a regular basis.In regards to under-arm hair removal... make sure the area is good and dry (unless using wet then follow those instructions to the letter). I made the mistake of using it with the large area head by mistake and also on damp skin... it grabbed the skin a few times (only time it happened) and well it took a couple of days to heal... so dry or wet... not in between!What I like about having bought this brand is that they offer a full 60days money back (at least it's available when I purchased).

I just got mine a month ago and so far used it twice, it’s really great and leaves you with smooth skin after a few go’s. Definitely more convenient and easy to use in comparison to waxing or shaving and makes no mess at all! The battery life was also really good, I used the Philips epilator aswell in the past and definitely will say that this one beats it by far in terms of battery life, packaging, looks and efficiency.

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 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.

This epilator was great, being rechargeable and an upgrade not having to stay attached to the wall like with my last one. However....after 10 years, my old one is still fine and this one has given up (I've had it...maybe 3 years?). I guess that's still a decent lifespan but for a Braun product, I am surprised it didn't last like my old one. I'm back to the plug in, annoyingly.
