...of your own home? This Philips Satinelle is like other epilators in its ability to lift hairs from close to their roots and give you the long lasting smoothness of waxing with none of the mess, expense or time required. Plus unlike shaving this little baby will keep your legs smooth for 3 weeks at a time! As a bonus this particular epilator is rechargeable, making it perfect for use in the bathroom, unlike rival products which need to be plugged ...

Review of Philips HP6517

A little pain, a little gain

Advantages: Battery and mains operated, built in light to help you see, choice of heads
Disadvantages: Can be painful, initially expensive, unclear instructions, lack of a shaver adaptor plug in box

...opportunity to try out a Braun Silk Epil Xpressive epilator. At the time it was branded the 7681 but it is now branded as the 7781 despite being exactly the same product - a fact Amazon backs up. I will not lie when I say I had to think long and hard about trying this one out. I love a freebie but its no use to anyone if its something you don't really want to try, akin to buying a bright orange balaclava because its 50p, as opposed to something you ...
...work for 40 minutes. Braun recommend you use the epilator for the first time in the evening, so you have plenty of time overnight for any redness to calm down. You need to epilate when your skin is dry, so don't jump straight from the shower to do it - it might be better to epilate before you shower. The epilator comes with 5 caps which have 5 different purposes. There is a "beginner" cap which is obviously for novices like me, a "massage" cap which ...

Review of Braun 7781 Xpressive EASY Start Body&face

the greatest invention

Advantages: great price
Disadvantages: have to epilate regularlly

...out from the root. The Braun Epilator that I purchased was great it gives me soft silky skin for 2 weeks. If you read the literature is says hair free for up to 4 weeks and I have never been that lucky. The Braun Epilator has two speeds and it runs off the mains with a 12 volt adapter and come in a great travel bag with a cleaning brush which is used to brush those hair that get caught in the epilator. When I used the epilator for the first time ...
...getting those hairs so i recommend you epilate regularly. I recommend the Braun epilator and after using it you will wondering what took you so long to try it especially as I paid £25 for this epilator and when you weigh this to the price of waxing it's a bargain. ...

Review of Braun 3170 Softperfection SOLO

Never Mind The Pain--Just Grin and Bare It!

Advantages: Gives a long-lasting result.
Disadvantages: In-grown hairs can be a problem.

...months ago I spotted the Remington EP500 on a half price offer (it was reduced to £15) in boots so I used my Advantage Card points to buy it and went home to try it for free. What Do You Get For Your money? This epilator looks like the old-fashioned style lady shaves in size. It has an attractive pearlised pink front with a faint flower pattern. The other side has a white pearlised finish. It is quite a comfortable size to hold although it ...
...switch is a sliding switch in the middle of the epilator. It is very easy to move whilst using it. This switch also operates the two different speeds. I did not realised when I purchased this that it comes with both an epilating head and a shaving head which are easy to change with a quick flick of a button to release one and then swap for the other. The epilating head is like a row of tweezers that whizz round and grab the hairs as they run over ...

Review of Remington EP 5000

Remington EP 3000

Advantages: light, easy to use, lengthens hair regrowth period.
Disadvantages: loud, painfull for the first time.

I decided to by an epilater after a recommendation from a friend. i was told that epilation was alot better for your skin than shaving, that it was a quick process and would make the hair take longer to grow back. I admit i chose this particually product because it was the chapest of it's kind at the time. The first time i used the epilater i didn't really know what i was doing and tried using it in a strokeing upwards direction like a razor. After ...
...got rid of the most hairs. I was shocked with how loud it was and how much it hurt but after a minite or so you get used to it and barely even notice. The hairs did grow back quicker than expected, no longer than from shaving. i did notice some ingrown hairs. However, i have been using this epilator for about 3 months now and only need to use it every 3 weeks or so. My legs remain smooth, soft and each process is completely painless. And i am very ...
