Very good! And priced well.

"This is the first epilator I've used. I chose this one based on the reviews here, and I'm glad I did. I was sick of shaving and don't want to wax so thought I'd try this. A few tips: It DOES sting, tough it's really NOT as painful as I thought it would be.

So-so

"I have been using an epi for over 25years. From the original spring to now the tweezers. Trust me the tweezers are much less painful. I am disappointed in this brand. There are not enough tweezers, so it takes longer to use. You have to make too many passes to remove the hair. What used to take me 10-15 mins to shave,now takes 30-45 mins. I will go back to my Emjoi...." Read Full Review »

"I received the Braun Silk-epil today and got straight to work on my bikini area (the sole reason I purchased this item).



It worked like a charm! It was a bit painful (3 to 5 on a scale of 1-10) and I had to take a few short breaks. But what do you expect? It pulls the hair out by the roots. B …"  Read Full Review »

I was having very thick black hair growth that could be seen under the skin, especially on the back of my legs (calf area). Since I've been using the …"  Read Full Review »

"Let me say I have very thick dark hair. Unfortunately, this goes for my legs as well! Because my leg hair is so thick and course, shaving irritates my upper thighs and I need to shave at least daily to keep my legs smooth. I can't afford professional waxing, but I've done home waxing for years. …"  Read Full Review »
