The TWO BEST TIPS for best results!
I’ve been using an epilator for years and I’ve always bought a Braun. The company has quality products, well made and the engineering is top notch. This upgrade from the last model is still rechargeable, has 3 speeds, a light so you can better see the area, etc. The major improvement is the epilator head swivels to glide over curves, i.e. your knees, calves, etc. It helps keep the head close to the skin without applying too much pressure.I’m not going over too much info you can read on your own about attachments and basic use, my review has hints to help you get the best results.First, everyone complains about the pain. Sure, it’s not pleasant, but if you want smooth skin for weeks, with a major reduction in regrowth, it’s worth it. There are ways you can minimize the pain as well. Be certain your hair is not too long; long enough for the tweezer head to grab, about a quarter inch or a little more. Too long and it will definitely be painful. Your skin should be clean, dry and exfoliated. If you want to bathe or shower first to open your pores, go for it. Exfoliating will bring the hairs away from your skin, making for a better result.There are 2 MOST important hints that facilitate the process to the max! I can’t reiterate this enough. When running the Braun epilator head over your skin, go slowly! Applying pressure is not as important as lengthening contact with the surface area. Don’t use it like a razor. I’m always in a hurry with everything, but in this case, the slower you swipe the area, the more hair it’ll pull. Think of it like a vacuum, the slower you allow the machine to cover the area, the more debris it’ll pick up. I guarantee if you slow down, allowing more time over your skin to grab the hair, the machine will do the best job. Now this is important!! Hold the body of the epilator at a 90° angle from the skin’s surface. This also allows more contact with your skin and enables the tweezers to do the job. I’m serious about this, you’ll notice a major difference in the results. Of course, hair grows in different directions, so you’ll likely have to run over the skin in a few different directions the first few times, and never with the growth, always against it. The more times you use it, you’ll notice far less regrowth, your hair grows back slower, finer and your skin will be smoother. You’ll likely notice redness on some of your pores, but that should subside in 10-20 minutes. Never use over broken skin, rashes, etc. To prevent ingrown hairs, wipe your skin with alcohol or hydrogen peroxide before and afterward, let it thoroughly dry.If you use the machine with these tips, you’ll get the best results, with less pain. You’ll never go back to shaving!

Never shaving my legs again!
I have had my entire body waxed, I have 4 tattoos, and Iâve had a baby. Itâs safe to say my pain tolerance is pretty high. Still, I only did the waxing thing one time because it hurt like absolute hell! THIS however, is so much less painful but delivers the same smooth results as waxing. Thatâs just my opinion. If youâve gotten a tattoo, the pain level is relatively similar. My best description would be that it feels like a bad cat scratch when you do the first pass over a very hairy area. Waxing is intolerable for me. I have never used an epilator before today, but it definitely is so much less painful. Itâs also nice that unlike wax that you HAVE to rip off no matter what (once itâs on thereâs only one way to get it off LOL), you can take your time with this epilator! You can do one small section at a time taking as much or as little hair as you want in a pass. I did one part of my leg earlier in the day to test how my sensitive skin would react, left it a few hours and then completely finished my whole legs later in about an hour. The results are amazing! You will get a little bit of irritation at first but that comes with any type of removal. The difference between other products and this epilator is that it actually goes away within an hour give or take. When I got waxed I had rashes, and shaving gives me painful razor bumps and ingrown hairs. Iâve never had laser hair removal but Iâve heard that also comes with swelling and sun sensitivity. Iâve also tried creams but none of them worked well on my thick dark body hair. Plus they smell terrible. I think this product is the only hair removal system I will ever use from now on.

Wonderful Torture Device
I hate shaving, so much so my amazing husband thought this may be the perfect solution for me. Now let me say, the thought he put into buying this thing is amazing.I read all the reviews, good and bad and had mentally prepared myself. I’m a pretty tough chick and decided I could handle this! I mean, I’ve got multiple tattoos, had kids, how bad can this really be?!?!So I got it today and immediately put it on the charger. I’m excited because heck yeah I want to not have to shave EVER again. I had a game plan and was prepared!First, it was well packaged and came with all of the advertised accessories. The case is really nice and I had no problems putting it to charge. It charged fully in about 2 hours.I was excited and anxious and just wanted to get to it, so as soon as it was fully charged I got down to business. HOLY MOTHER OF GOD, I was not prepared. I started slowly, timidly if you will. DON’T DO THAT!! JUST PULL OFF THE BANDAID AND GO FOR IT.It felt like I was sitting in the tattoo parlor and was getting a massive tattoo on my lower legs. Like a million tiny bees were stinging me all at the same time. Like the skin was being shredded off in tiny little pieces. You get the point. But I was determined. The first pass is torture, quite literally. After that, easy. OF COURSE IT WAS!! The vast majority of my hairs were ripped from their hair sockets forcefully.Now, I will say it did a fantastic job. Did I wait until evening? Nope. The little red dots covering my legs are my war wounds. I wear them proudly. Will I do it again? Absolutely!! Any thing that keeps me from shaving is my new friend, torture device or not.Now, I have to say this is my initial review after the first use and only on my legs. Will I brave my underarms? Probably after a drink or 5 and in the shower. What about the down under bits?? Ummm, let’s see how the underarms go before I jump into that kind of commitment.Do I recommend this product? Yes and no. If you’ve got a high pain tolerance and hate shaving, Absolutely. If you’ve got a low pain tolerance, move along. This isn’t for you.

First I’d like to say that this epilator does not have a pivoting head. It has a pivoting head piece. Which is an additional piece to add if you want to “prep your skin”. If you remove this and use the bare piece for closer contact it does not move. So it does not contour your curves -knees etcThe epilator does not hurt but does seem to pull skin which does not leave a nice smooth finish as its said to do. And I have to pass multiple times on long and or short hair as it doesn’t get everything in one stroke. It’s definitely time consuming .There was a battery in the trimmer which is barely functional which leads me to believe it was used and returned.I understand this can happen but at least give a new battery .

The bottle arrived empty and broken. And there was no liquid in the bag either. please return the money. –
terrible epilator, not worth the money at all, epilators for 40 dollars do a better job. lets through hair, you have to go over the same place 20 times, I expected much more from such an expensive device, I regret buying it.
