Not as good as the older models

I've had an older plug in model for 10 years and thought I would give this a go as it's portable. However I found that it tends to snap the hairs off at the skin surface rather than removing from the root. Therefore hair grew out a lot faster so I've gone back to the original model.

Not so great

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!

Easier than self waxing

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.

Tips: Make sure your legs or under arms are warm, if you are cold the hair follicle contracts holding onto the hair tightly which results in the hair breaking off instead of coming out from the roots. It is really important to exfoliate often after epilation as if you don't you can get In growing hairs which are like infected spots. Also moisturise to keep the skin supple. Do not apply moisturiser up to 24 hours after epilating as the pores of the skin will be open and moisturisers entering the pores could cause irritation.

Not for me

I was very excited to try epilating last year.. I was fed up with constantly shaving and wanted something that would help result in long-term hair loss in shaving areas. I found this epilator to be quite painful on sensitive areas such as the shins and thighs. However, it did not hurt me at all when using it on my armpits. Regardless of pain I would have continued to use this product as you really do get used to the pain but I was constantly getting ingrown hairs and hairs that were not ingrown but would not break the last layer of skin. It was painful to release the hairs from the ingrown folicle and also the thin layer of skin. Therefor I went back to shaving.

With the epilator it is easy to miss spots and occasionally it was difficult to tell your hair had grown back until I was out andit was too late!

Also, you will break out in red bumps from using this, especially the first time. It takes a few hours for mine to go down so i recommend using it at night!

Great for some places

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!

Good but haven't used it as much as I planned

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.

Great while it lasted

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.

Better than self waxing

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.

Tips: Can not been used while charging.

Prickle be gone

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).

Best investment so far!

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.

Tips: First time is a bit painful but trust me it gets better. And it realllllyyyy helps with keratosis pilaris. Take your time and go in the opposite direction for best results.
