Not what I expected

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The Braun Silk épil 7 is a product that I was excited so to try out and use. I had heard many things about epilators and the unbearable pain that comes with them, however I was pleasantly suprised when I used Braun's. This particular epilator can be used wet or dry, I tried both and preferred using it in the shower. Using it dry is slightly more painful, but water helps soothe the skin and open up the hair follicles, which makes it much less painful than expected. I found that using it in the shower and pulling the skin taut helps reduce the pain and give the closest shave. My legs were smooth for over one week before I noticed any hair stubble! The downside of this product is that it takes much longer than shaving and has a tendency to leave red dots on your legs. The red dots disappear after a few hours so I recommend using the epilator before bed, not right before an event, so the red dots have time to subside. As far as time goes, it may take a little longer but you won't have to do it as often as shaving so it's a win! Overall great product, excited to continue to use it!

from Carolina, PR
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I think, this product is so cool. First off when i got it out of the box i saw how pretty it was designed, its glittery and pink.I have a plus because comes with 2 extra accessories, as well as a little cleaning brush and storing bag. Im not going to lie, I was a little intimidated when i turned it on, it was pretty fast and loud. I love this product and absolutely will continue to use it.I go at least a week or 2 without shaving. Other then that my legs look great and I am so excited to try it on a different part of my body. This product really is a must try!!!

My Braun Silk Epil experience
on October 26, 2015

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Ok, so this is my second epilator and honestly it's more painful than I remember. Cute, stylish, portable, easy to clean and keep up. Most importantly: results! I used my Braun epi on my face, and leg area and these were my results... Now I don't have a low tolerance for pain or anything so was oddly able to endure the pain more on my lip and chin area than I was on my leg/chin area. I'd rate the job done by my epilator about a 3 out 5. I wasn't able to remove all hairs as hoped, but had decent enough results that I was still able to go on without having to shave or Nair over.

Better than the last

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I really like this epilator. This is the second one I've had. My first was a Philips and it was good, but I would get broken and ingrown hairs. I haven't really had that problem with this one. It's pretty good. Sometimes I do have to go over a spot more than once because it misses a few hairs, but it gets the majority of them quickly.

Braun Silk épil 7 Experience:

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I took part on a BzzAgent activity for the Silk-épil 7 7-521 Hair Epilator and received it for the low price of free just this week. The moment I took it out of the box and noticed the cute design I knew I had to try it out straight away. Most people fear the pain thatâs usually associated with epilators, but I believe that if youâre able to withstand the pain of waxing you will have no trouble using this item.
If youâre very sensitive to pain it offers two settings for hair removal one that provides a more gentle process while the other is more effective but provides a bit more discomfort. If youâre still not convinced by that statement then I will describe the gentle setting as a soft continuous pinching feeling as you use it over your skin. Itâs not the best feeling ever, but itâs very tolerable and wonât leave you crying out in pain. The first few times will provide some discomfort, but as you continue using it you become more tolerant to the sensation.
For an effective hair removal process you need to go very slowly while not digging it into the skin, you just lightly run it over the area you wish to remove hair from and it practically does the work for you. The epilator also provides a built in light so that youâre able to spot any hair you might have missed otherwise.
All in all it was not a horrible experience and I believe that Iâll be using it very often on my legs. I do fear the underarms and bikini area are much too sensitive for this to be used on them unless you have a very high pain tolerance.

No more hairy situations!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Before getting Silk-épil 7 7-521 Hair Epilator I had never tried such a thing, my go to razor was the easiest method for hair removal. I was very skeptical to try it because I'm a baby for pain. I have to admit the first try was painful but tolerable! Last few times have been so much faster and less painful! I am in love with my epilator!! I have smooth legs for a longer period of time, and don't worry about all the in growing hairs or the dreaded razor burn!

A Hair Pulling Experience

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I was really excited to get this product and I have to shave often and go thru razors very quickly so this seemed like a godsend. So the first time I tried it, it really hurt. Like a lot. I read the instructions carefully, which btw, were very confusing and took awhile to understand but anyways, I muddled through. Any who, I only got thru one leg before I couldn't take the pain anymore. Fast forward a week later and that one leg was still hairless, so I decided to try again. This time I went to Youtube for some tips (e.g. take a long hot shower beforehand, shave in short bursts etc) and the advice helped some. I was able to last longer and didn't hurt so much. However, it still take a long time to get the hair out and it's not always a clean shave, plus the loud buzzing noise gets irritating after awhile. However, two weeks in and except for some light barely noticeable stubble, my legs still look really good. I recommend if you have a high tolerance for pain, lots of hair and some time to kill this works. Not bad for a free product.
