   One of the best on the market
   This is my second epilator from this brand. I had one previously that lasted me for almost 5 years. I was trying to find a cheaper version so I bought another brand and it did not feel the same and it was louder so I returned it and purchased my second epilator from this brand. What I appreciate about this product is it’s not very loud. It’s functional and the head moves and rotates easily. The battery life is also pretty good and overall, I think it’s a very durable epilator

   Right out of box review
   I had an epilator years ago. I do not remember the brand but I remember the pain. I was much younger and had much thicker, coarser leg hairs. I got the device because I was shaving my legs daily for that smooth feel. Well using the machine was so painful that I finally gave up. Now, many years later, my hair is not as dark, thick or coarse and I now have facial hair. It is the facial hair that has prompted this latest purchase. I wanted something that didn’t require daily action. My hope was that new advances would make epilating less painful. The answer is yes! This is much better. Of course this machine does not have to face the same challenges as my first but it is much improved. I let my machine charge over night. My leg hairs were at the height recommended for best results. I went for it and it was fast and did the job, even on the longer above the knee leg hair (you older girls know what I mean). It was not painful but a bit uncomfortable, like a thousand little pin pricks. My skin felt tingly afterwards. Since I was on a roll, I also did my forearms. I really hadn’t bought it with that intention as that hair was pretty white but what the heck. It felt the same as it had on my legs. Now on to the face. The hair here was not as long as it had been on my legs or arms but it did snag some. I pluck chin and neck hairs so this was less painful. I haven’t done my lip yet as I feel that will sting. I am leaving that for another day. All in all I feel that this is a great machine. It didn’t take me long to do my legs, forearms and face. The machine comes with a nice case, attachments and an instruction booklet. It was nice to be able to remove the hair on my legs and not worry about nicks with a razor. I have done electrolysis on my face, plucked and shaved. This epilator is less painful and will not leave stubble. I would recommend buying it.

   A year later, most of the epilated parts don’t need epilating
   First: You’re already at home; do NOT “go big or go home”. If you torture yourself, you may not succeed. If 300 hairs hurt to pull, maybe try 30 for 10 days in a row.Shave. Not kidding. Don’t try to rip everything out at once. Rip out what it can reach the day after shaving and the day after that. If the regrowth is heavy? Shave again and repeat.A year later, I don’t have to do my legs. My underarms are 10% what they used to be, hair wise. They need to be done 2x a month during low growth seasons, 1x/week during active growth times, and they used to be a daily shave. That’s my own personal thought: if I weren’t looking from the close distance of my own eyes to my own arm pit, maybe it would be even less often. :)Bikini line is lighter, but still requires weekly maintenance. The funny thing is that you’ll look down at your calf and see 1 hair that’s obviously been there for a week or three, but you won’t have felt it. No stubble, no reminder that you haven’t done your legs in months. And you’ll just pull it out.I wish I could use it plugged in. But I like the pivoting head. I like the wet/dry option. Like how easy it is to clean. Decent battery life.Just don’t go big or go home. You’re *already* at home. Rip a little at a time and you’ll see an immediate difference. Don’t tell Braun, but those little chin hairs I pretend I don’t have? Those, too. Faster and easier than plucking Highly recommend!

   Maybe a Little TOO Flexible
   I think I prefer the Braun Epilator 8 that I have as it doesn’t have this ultra flexible head. I have a lot of facial hair, like I can grow a beard like a man in a few days facial hair. The epilator works best, despite the pain, at keeping it at bay without all the irritation shaving causes or the ‘five o’clock shadow’ effect.It does HURT like the dickens! It takes some getting used to, but I have gotten used to it everywhere but my upper lips which I cannot use the epilator on as it causes too much pain.This particular model, has a flexible head, which I thought would be great to get my neck area better, while it is easier to get the neck area, it takes many more swipes of this epilator than my previous one to get the same amount of hairs because of the swivel effect. It was much more effective at getting the hairs with the Epilator 8.Just as easy to clean, but does have a smaller head than the Epilator 8.The other heads and accessories work just as well, the travel ‘hold all’ bag is a lot nicer than before. The charge seems to last longer as well.P.S. NO, this has not made my hair stop growing or slow down it’s growth, but it has made it less noticeable that I have this issue because there is no razor burn or five o’clock shadow issues.Pro Tip: WAY less painful on shorter hairs than on longer ones. It seems the longer the hair is on any part of the body, the more using the epilator hurts me. If the hairs are shorter, YES it does miss some, but it is WAY less painful.
