Thank you! but no thank you...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was really excited about this campaign, seriously, but I was a bit disappointed when I finally get to try the product. IS TERRIBLY PAINFUL, that describe it pretty well; I already have an epilator (but for men) at home, and is ultra gentle and fast, the result is amazing (especially because it eliminate the dark shades of the skin caused by the razors) and I had the same expectative with this one but nope... is painful and you need to used it more than once to get use to it. The one I have from panasonic does not need to go through a period of adaptation to be happy with it and is the reason why I would not recommend this one to a beginner.
yes, the design is beautiful, but at first sight it looks aggressive because you get to see the blades and intimidates. I am not sure if I wanna keep trying but I will because some women said it worth it, wish me MORE luck :c on my next tries.

Awesome Product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was my first time using an epilator and I have to admit it was great. Very easy to use. You just need to be careful not to hurt yourself by pressing too hard, but other than that it does all the work for you. I will continue to use this product and say good riddance to shaving. The built in light helped with being able to see hairs that were missed which in my past experiences with shaving, hair patches are always left behind and that is not a pretty sight. I would definitely recommend this product to anyone that shaves or gets hair removal.

the braun silk-epil 7

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Braun silk-epil 7 epilator really helps remove short hairs. I love that it is cordless and can be use wet or dry. I don't have to worry about shaving everyday because hair grows slower. It's like waxing but faster and easier. It hurts a little at first but once you get used to its not a problem. If you are looking for a epilator this is the one to look for. I'm really satisfied.

*Braun Silk-epil 7

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] *My honest opinion is that I did not like. If it is not because I am a Fibromyalgia or the neuropathy condition. but I turned out to be very painful. Honestly I could not continue using it. As I have seen different opinions I noticed that many will work.

Great for legs and what the heck is this!?!?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] ok it has been a few days since i got a chance to take the epil and glide it across my legs, and we all know how horrible my legs get and how much of a pain it is to get rid of them dark hairs! So after one use i noticed there was still stubble left, i figured no big deal even tweezing leaves some hair behind right? So a day ago i went back over my stubbles to see if maybe i was using the wrong attachment and the one with the wheels was the one i wasnt supposed to be using, so after snap on snap off instant change i started again gliding it across my leg no need to pull the skin tight tight or tight to being with since it glides across easily and my legs are toned to begin with. now comes the horror story of a lifetime or a leg time i should say, i didn't notice this at first and rightly so, as i don't usually see results instantly and wasn't hoping for a miracle so you know this came as a surprise when i went the next morning to the bathroom looked down and saw my scared legs, razor burn! what in the world razor burn! if that's not bad enough how about in grown hairs under the razor burn bumps. This had me horrified!i could not believe my eyes! i already have psoriasis on my ankle and as everyone knows any injury in the area near may or may not cause it to spread, so i was horrified when i saw what i saw an panicked! So here is where i went wrong, remember on the instructions how it says there is no need to press hard yes well they are right! It will leave razor burn if you press hard because the tweezer like blades open and close! Ok so goofy woman pressed two hard but what is the ingrown hairs now? well if you didnt know already tweezing, waxing, plucking, threading all can give you in grown hairs even shaving! Something i knew but did not know a epil could as well, i guess since it is a tweezer blade i should have known! now those are the bad parts here are some of the good parts the razor is indeed ready to use in the shower, i would suggest hot shower so it opens your pores and the hairs come out eazier hence no razor burn, second after using it on your legs in the direction your hairs go make sure to add coconut oil or shea butter to the area or any heavy weight cream to sooth the area just encase, aloe also works amazing! be prepaired for you to have prickly legs after 2 weeks or what i like to call rough soft legs. You know the my legs feel rough but i dont see any hair feeling? yes that one! Charging is easy after you get past all the other things that is plugging into the wall and base of the razor, no you can not use it while charging, thankfully braun knows there batteries dont last if used when charging so it has a fail safe in the unit so you cant do that, such an added plus, cute pouch in white and two heads one is supposed to be for trimming *cough* doesn't work well for that! and the other is for regular. Neither of them are good for your bikini line! unless you have done it before you will out jump a tree! i tried it not once but 4 times first time i did the out jump a tree, second i cringed and third i said no way, my arm pit i couldnt even get near it, i am so sensitive there to plucking that forget it! Don't worry i didnt leave out the men, i did try it on another friend who has hyter sensitive fade, Dave had stopped over when he heard i had the new braun for woman in my place, and the first thing he did was use it on high, and men i tell you read the directions and ask before using your womans or friends anything because this will happen to you, he put it on high placed it to his face (so glad it is water proof) and made himself tear. So thats two men and myself i have tried this on, both sensitive faces one good one bad and sorry one person other than them me oh and of course they all know i am a BzzAgent ad that sometimes these reviews are so much more exciting to see than to hear, but i figured i would give an update, back to playing with my epil, but before i go my legs are still rough more like prickly but then for someone who grows hair every day long this is a super plus!

Not your mother's epilady!

from Valley Village, CA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was first introduced to Epilady by my mother. It literally pulled hair from the root, it was painful, and almost intolerable. I was not enjoying my experience and ran back to my razor, to say the least.
I had no idea a reinvented, beautiful, and new Braun Silk epil 7 existed, until it fatefully fell in my mailbox one day. What a different experience! Hair removal has never been more comfortable, gentle, and easy! I have permanently ditched waxing, razors, and I certainly don't ever need to spend money on lasers! Braun has made me happy to go back to a classic!

Braun Silk épil 7, great ? or not?

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] As soon as I got the package I was eager to try the item, Braun Silk épil 7 and give it a go. The beginning expectations that I had in mind out numbered the reality of it. As soon as I had the chance to try it the beginning was very painful, I did not understand if it was because my hair was very fine and just pulled the hair but could not pluck or if it was just too long. I then came to a conclusion of shaving my legs, waited a week and gave it another try my hair was much shorter and looked very stumbled, then that is when the Braun Silk épil 7 showed me its best results. The pain had then been locked away and was much easier to handle and get use to. #shorterforthebetter.

Braun Silk épil 7

from San Marcos, CA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] After using the Braun Silk épil 7 for time now I have came to the conclusion of when it is best to have use of the epilator. The begining I tried it with much longer hair and that did not work out was way more painful and left redness all over my leg, with one leg not even yet to be finished. Short hair right after shaving a week has been the in deal for me and has had the best results. As well as using with water! no pain no pinches no red using wet has been the best and has had the best results, I have no yet noticed any hair to have grown since the last time I have tried the Braun Silk épil 7. It has now lived up to my expectations and will definitely recommend it to someone! Its easy to use and easy to adjust to. The charging time is very fast. It is great that it is a plug in rather than those with batteries, you wont have to be spending money on batteries when you can just plug it in one of your outlets. The interchangeable heads, the one with vibrating motions being the best for me gives a great massage and relaxes you. Overall I really enjoyed being able to try this item!
