How the Braun Silk-epil 7 changed my life
on September 10, 2015

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think the Braun Silk-epil 7 is amazing! I used to shave every single day (legs, arms, armpits) not to mention the waxing of my upper lip (once a week) which would always leave the area a beautiful shade of irritated for a couple days afterward. I as beyond excited to try this epilator but I had no idea what to expect. I let my hair grow out for a couple days I used it on my legs, underarm's, bikini, upper lip and arms. I have used an epilator before but wasn't able to touch my bikini area or my lip for fear of irritating the area. This epilator however has different attachments you can use for all areas of the body as well as two different speeds which really made it easy to remove hair from even the most sensitive areas.
Before getting this product you should know that the first time you use it will be the most painful, until your skin gets used to it. Also, I found it took a couple of times on large areas like my legs to get all the hair because I have really dark thick hair and it doesn't all grow at the same rate. I used it both dry and wet but I prefer to do it dry. Moisturizing afterwards is a must!
I am thrilled to tell you that now I stopped shaving and use the epilator twice a week or so. My arm pits are not irritated from shaving every day and my shower time has been greatly reduced because I don't have to shave. No more worries about having those nasty bumps on my bikini line when I go to the pool!! (I cannot tell you how excited I am about that) I have also noticed that the hair that grows back is softer and thinner than it was before, so even if I can't get to it right away it is barely noticeable. I highly recommend this product to all my friends and family!

Found my new love

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was hesitant to try a new epilator after my experience years ago with the coil-based Epilady. I remember going through lots of pain while removing the hairs on my legs. And I never would have dreamed of using it on my arms or face.
But with the Braun Silk Epil, all that pain does not exist! I was able to do my entire leg fairly quickly and I barely felt anything. A week later, I notice my hairs growing back finer as well. This makes me think the Epilady was breaking the hairs before but the Silk Epil actually does remove them at the root.
I found the courage to try it on my arms as well as face and it worked like a charm as well! Truly love this little machine!
The Silk Epil does come with a shaver attachment as well, but I find that doesn't work too well. You are better off buying a separate trimmer. But definitely buy this as an epilator. It works great!

Easy and Convient - But Not Perfect
on August 18, 2015

from Mount Horeb, WI
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I tried the Braun Silk epil 7 for the first time a few days ago and I was pleasantly surprised at the outcome. I have always wanted to try an epilator, for my legs especially, because I lack the want to shave my legs EVERY DAY. It's downright annoying, and honestly - who has time for that anyway. The first time I put it to my leg and turned it on I turned it back off within seconds. IT HURT. No denying that. I guess I had no real idea what I was getting myself into. Reluctantly, I tried it again and told myself that the pain would be worth not having to shave my legs in my tiny shower pressed up against the wall. I was right! Once I got over the initial pain and told myself to suck it up, I pushed on an the result was awesome! I had very smooth legs the next day. There was an area on my legs that had shorter hair, which it didn't do great on - but I can't expect miracles. It would have been nice had they been gone too but it is what it is. Great product but not perfect yet!

Braun Silk-épil 7 review
on August 29, 2015
Posted by: barbrivera
from Castro Valley, CA
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am so in pressed with this wonderful product! it's way too easy to use and is virtually painless, I've used it on my legs, underarms and face, it's safe and the only place I had any "pain" was my underarm. I think it was because I don't usually use a epilator there. I've used a epilator for many years but like everything in life things improve over time and the Braun Silk-épil 7 is well worth the price! I don't like it I Love it!

Nice product

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Packaging is nice and secure. The epilator came already partially charged. 40 minutes on the charger and it was good to go. Easy to change the different guides/heads- which are well-designed- and easy to clean. It comes with several different guides, a storage pouch, and cleaning brush. Shaver works well enough, though it won't give you a super close shave. I LOVE the assist light! Directions are sparse, but easy to follow (there are pictures), so no problems there. Easy to switch on/off/change speeds- just a rotating switch which moves simply on-the-go. Size is good, not too bulky, not too small. Feels nice and solid in your hand. Worthy of the Braun name. Word of caution: with any epilator, it takes time for your skin to get used to the process, which is like having a hundred tweezers all plucking at once. Don't let it put you off of using this epilator. It really works!

a little confusing for a 1 timer

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The product its self was wpnderful! Dont get me wrong. It was pretty to look at, glittery, awesome! , easily operated with one hand and lightweight and portable making any traveling easy. Ive never uaed an epilator before, so i had to idea as to what i was doing or how to do it. I did read the manuel probably 3- 4. And was still not sure if i was putting things together right, to shave the right spot with the right piece...?? It was pretty confusing. It would be easier for a first time user if there was more of a discriptive explination as to what pieces to do, but other than that my experience was awesome and im so glad i was able to try tbis amazing product. Thank you

Love this epilator!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have tried several epilators in the past and they were too painful. I decided to try the Braun Silk-epil 7 because it can be used on face and body. It does sting a bit the first few times, but you get used to it. I like that it is rechargeable. My old one went through a set of batteries in about a week. I also like that you can use this wet or dry. Using it in the shower seems to lessen the sting a bit. Overall, I would highly recommend this epilators.

Not Fun, but Effective

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So far, I tried this epilator on my legs and arms. Overall, I like the features of the epilator. It has a light which is especially useful for seeing missed hair. The epilator also feels comfortable in my hand while using it. I also like the pivoting head and massage rollers because they seem to make the epilator a little more bearable. The epilator also has a slow setting and a fast setting. At first, I only used the slow setting because the instructions say to start with that if you haven't used an epilator in a long time or ever. The slow setting does seem to be less painful than the fast setting, but I like the fast setting better because it takes less time to remove the hair which means the pain will be over sooner! It also seems as if I have to go over my skin more often on the slower setting in order to remove the hair. The fast setting seemed more effective overall. I recommend this epilator to anyone looking for an effective, long lasting hair removal option. However, it's important to remember that there's no such thing as a 100% pain free epilator. Also, some parts of the body are always more sensitive than others.
