...for the slightly more expensive Braun Silk.epil Xelle. The Silk.epil Xelle claims to be the most effective epilator ever (as stated on the box) and Braun’s most gentle. ***Price*** I bought mine for £54.99 from Argos. I found it in Boots for £59.99 but I’m not sure if you can get it any cheaper on the internet. I think it’s quite expensive so it might be worth shopping around. ***The Package*** It comes in a dark pink box, which on the front ...

Advantages: Spotlight for seeing little hairs
Disadvantages: slightly painful

I had the old Braun silk-epil since about 1999 and when it gave up the ghost I started shaving again. After a couple of months I noticed that I was hairier than usual and got really annoyed at having to shave every couple of days so decided to invest in another of Braun's epilators. I must admit that this particular model comes with lots of accessories (shaving head, small/starter epilator head, intermediate epilator head with massager, advanced ...
...excessive but if you are new to epilating I can see the advantage in being able to get used to using one by building up in stages. Having come from already using an epilator but having shaved for a couple of months, I used the 40 tweezer head with the intermediate massager heads and found it most comfotable to use especially when compared to my old epilator which had just the standard head and no attachments for making it's use more comfortable. ...

Advantages: Gets rid of hairs for longer,
Disadvantages: loud, have to go over area a few times

I find shaving in the shower hard and as a result don't shave my legs very often which can be a problem if you suddenly decide to wear a dress or want to go swimming (which I did for a few minutes and then got too lazy). After christmas I searched the internet for epilators in the sale and found this one for £29.99 on amazon.co.uk. The set arrives with the following contents: A silver case to carry everything An ice pack and silver case to put ...
...other- you rub this on the place you plan to epilate before and after to numb the pain. The epilator- which is about 8cm by 11cm in size and a nice white a blue colour(s). There are two different heads (one starter head with less metal teeth in it). A massaging head, and an efficiency head (to go over your body easier). A brush to clean out the heads. A plug- the epilator is powered by the mains and no option for battries. A razor head with ... Read review

Advantages: Effective, long-lasting
Disadvantages: can be a long process

I bought the Braun Silk Epil X'elle 5685, as I'd just about had enough of the tedious chore of waxing, and the stubbly effects left by shaving, plus my friend had been raving about epliation ever since she bought hers last year. I'd avoided it previously as they do look like instruments of medieval torture, but I finally gave in (after being nudged by the half price sale in Boots). I purchased mine for £36.99, as oppsoed to the original tag of £69.99. ...
...Also to soften the pinch, Braun has provided an ice pack which you insert into a glove, to apply cold pressure before you begin, and this really does help. Oh, and not to mention a handy light which highlights even the finest hairs. The only slight downside is that it can be rather slow, and one area needs going over several times to get rid of all those pesky hairs. overall, I would recommend the Silk epile, as in the long run you save a packet ...

Advantages: Quick and easy to use
Disadvantages: Painful to start with

I bought myself one of these epilators after joining my local gym and swimming pool. I was sick to death of shaving and waxing and thought there must be an easier way!! This is definately it!! You get an ice pack which i would recommend using for the first few times as i did find it alot more painful than waxing and it is easier, and less messy to use. This epilator also has a handy light which lights up the area you are epilating so you can see ...
...i used the beginner head as recommended but i must admit i found the forty tweezer head more effective and actually less painful to use. I think the secret is to keep your skin as tight as possible in the area you are doing basically same principle as waxing. The tighter the skin the less painful the process. Also you are activley encouraged to moisturise after epilation so this will reduce reddining and no more nasty smells from those hair removal ... Read review
