Advantages: smooth legs, great value Disadvantages: hurts a bit at first
I bought this product last august, on a half price offer from boots. Having never bought an electric shaver or epilater before I took advantage of the offer because this product came with an additional shaver head as well as the epilater head. It is very easy to use and the epilation is not painful on legs after the first couple of times, even without the additional ice pack it hardly hurts. However I would recommend to always use the ice pack on ... ...eyes!! The results are well worth the pain as the skin is so smooth after use. I find I get at least 7-10 days before i have to do my legs again and bikini line lasts even longer!
The instructions are fairly easy to read. Some of the key points that you need to know for regular use are:
-The two ice attatchments (one for general epilation, one for bikini line) need to be put into the freezer for five hours before use.
-The manufacturers recommend ...

Advantages: on offer regularly, mains, convenient pack Disadvantages: cannot be washed, no grease tube
If you're looking to buy an epilator shop around. There are some good prices to be had out there, online and in the shops. I had mine from Curry's at an offer price of Ģ30. Boots often have offers on epilators too, perhaps not this make, but still lots of offers.
I have tried a few epilators and this is definitely the best option. The ice pack is a godsend! Epilating is painful and if anyone tells you different then they are lying. However, the ... ...suppose whether you have waxed/ epilated before. The ice pack doesn't stop the pain completely but it does numb a little and puts slight pressure on the area immediately after epilation; this helps.
The exfoliator is included, even though you can pick these up for 50p in Tesco. Personally, I find it's easier to epilate if you haven't exfoliated and scrubbed the skin before hand- it's too tender. However, it's a personal preference and once you get ...

Advantages: Can use on short hairs and leaves skin smooth Disadvantages: Fairly painful to begin with
I bought this product with some trepidation after reading other reviews of epilators and having a relatively low threshold for pain! I saw it on offer half price so thought I'd just give it a go.
I used it on my legs first of, which I had previously been waxing and found it quick and almost painless. I must admit I thought the other reviews were exaggerating the pain a little. However, I then tried it on my underarms which I had been shaving for ... ...finish epilating, but glad I made myself as after a few more goes, the hair got noticeably thinner and it is now relatively painless. The skin is left completely smooth, and the best thing is that you can epilate on much shorter hairs than waxing so there is no need to wait for hairs to grow long!
The ice cooler does help to soothe skin, but I found it awkward to use, so don't really bother with it anymore.
I would definitely recommend this product. ...

Advantages: smooth legs for longer, slightly less painful than normal epilators Disadvantages: hurts!!!!
Ok so I only bought this about 2 weeks ago off ebay for a total of Ģ50 (around Ģ15 cheaper than Boots etc) so i have only used it twice and perhaps should be waiting a little longer to review it but here goes. This epilator claims to be the gentlest ever with ice and sonic massage. It is the first ceramic epilator with an ice cooler and sonic massage system for gentle long lasting smoothness.The high-frequency massaging is meant to minimise the pulling ... ...head for better hygiene and a cordless charging stand is included. Ok so for the big question- does it hurt?
in a word - YES.
but thats no suprise really is it, after all, ice can only do so much! however it is less painful than your average epilator and is better desgined that other ice epilators on the market as it is easier to hold. It does take longer for the hair to grow back and 2nd time round although it still hurt as much my hair has taken ...

Quick review of Philips HP 6503 Satinelle ICE Premium
Excellent - just got mine in the post from Amazon after a long wait but it was worth it. I used this on my shins within minutes of opening the box with bated breath I might add - my shins being the worst part of my previous waxing experiences. Anyway - it does hurt - not much tho' if you are used to waxing and not as much as I was expecting, I hadn't got time to finish the job but suffice to say I have one very smooth shin at the moment will finish the job in the morning. Well worth the wait and the price is good too. ...

Advantages: smooth legs, great accessories and the ice cooling pack Disadvantages: the pain involved
I saw the satinelle epilator advertised on TV and thought how great it looked and sounded, epilation thats virtually pain free! Looking at the prices in the shops i searched online and got it for a great price on amazon. When I first tried it i was amazed at how much pain was involved, it does hurt! although it hurt the ice pack really helped and my legs where really smooth afterwards. If you can stand a certain amount of pain im sure this product ...
