A good result, but prepare for pain with Braun Silk epil 7!

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] (Note: I already wrote this review one time and it didn't submit, so I'll try my best to re-create that!)
I got a chance to try out the Braun Silk epil 7 a few days ago. It has a lot of cool accessories/heads/gadgets, that I haven't tried yet, but are specific for epilating your face/bikini area/etc. It is also water-proof, so that's cool.
It charged within an hour of plugging it into the wall. It has two speed settings- "gentle" and "efficient (but fast)." To be honest, when I first turned it on, I was a little scared by the noise. It sounded like it wanted to attack! But I pushed through that fear and gave it a shot anyway. I used the gentle setting.
I have tried epilators before, and I am going to be honest here - it DID hurt. So if you are afraid of pain, this may not be the best product for you. However, there are numbing creams/gels/sprays out there, and I am certainly going to buy one and see if that helps.
It hurt, but it also worked amazingly. If anyone uses tweezers to do their eyebrows - imagine that result, but across your entire leg. My leg was so smooth i couldn't stop touching it! It was incredible.
So all that to say - I absolutely do recommend this product. If you don't mind pain, this is an especially great product for you. If you don't like pain, but still want to give it a shot (because of the great results), I'd suggesting trying out a numbing cream.
(Also, epilators supposedly cause your hair to grow in slower, but I haven't had it long enough to comment on that aspect!)

Braun Silk-epil 7
on September 2, 2015

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I used the Braun Silk-epil 7 on my lower legs and it was rather uncomfortable at first. I persevered on and continued to use the epilator on both calves. Like the directions say, use the evening before because after I was done, my skin looked like connect the dots. Basically, every hair was pulled from it follicle. I put some moisturizer on my legs afterwards for comfort. About a week later, I used the epilator again on my lower legs. I did not have as much hair to take off this time and there was not as much discomfort from using this on my skin. Compared with shaving, my hair is not growing back as fast. I tried the epilator on my underarms. There was a little bit discomfort like what I experience on my legs. Same thing of pulling the hair out. Several years ago I had laser hair removal on my underarms so it grows in very lightly. I did this about a week ago and the hair has not grown in yet. I must say I like using the epilator because you get a different smoothness to your skin because your hair is being taken off not shaved off to grow back the next day. I am very happy with this product. This product can be used as an epilator and as a shaver head.

Amazing!!! Braun Silk-epil 7 is the best epilator I have so far

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] The packaging is really nice. The box contains an epilator, a power adapter, an extra head, three different attachments for different areas of shaving, a cleaning brush, and a bag to put all the stuff in.
I've had a few epilators in the past, but this Braun Silk-epil 7 is the best by far. I love that I can use it dry or wet. It's so convenient to shave my legs while showering or taking a long relaxing bath and avoid hairy messes on the floor like I used to. Depending on your level of sensitivity to pain, you might feel a little hair pulling here and there. Compare to waxing, this is a walk in the park. For me, this epilator is so smooth and efficient that I feel no pain whatsoever. The other thing that separates the Silk-epil 7 from other epilators is the super BRIGHT light in front. I was a bit taken back on how bright the light is at first, but I found it to be useful for seeing exactly where my hairs are so I don't have some random strands leftover. Not to mention it helps when that's the only source of light in a dark bath tub. With a full charged battery, this epilator lasted about 40 minutes of continuous use. It's more than enough time for me to get my legs, arms and armpits all done.
Overall, I am impressed with this epilator's performance and how easy it is to use and clean. A+ for me.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] It is very comfortable to use on legs and I also like how it feels to hold it. It removes even the short hairs.

I love this thing

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Wow. Everything that it calims it does, it does perfectly. It really is almost like a tweezer and gets rid of the smallest and thinest hair. I have had the wired one and the wireless option makes it ideal. I have not used it in the shower yet, so I can't really comment on that. Battery life is very good too. I used it for a few weeks before I had to recharge it.

Braun Silk epil 7: Works Wonders But Painful
on September 3, 2015
Posted by: MadameBiscuit
from Dallas, TX
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So I'm no expert on epilators and it might just be my pain tolerance but I found the Silk-epil 7 to be quite painful. That combined with the buzz saw noise it creates, the gentle setting it has was less than inviting. Aside from that it has so many head attachments and other wonderful functions! The shaver head is not a gimmick, it seriously gives you a clean shave without the hassle of a razor, or the cuts. Also the little flashlight is a really nice touch. When I tried it I kept my room dimly lit and the flashlight illuminated almost my entire calf. It's also really great how it can be used when wet. Plus it doesn't take long to charge. Unfortunately I have not been using it long enough to know whether it actually makes the black hair on my brown legs grow any slower, or thinner for that matter. (I only know that in the past that hasn't been the case) Overall I would definitely recommend the Silk-epil 7 even if you have a low pain tolerance.

Works well

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm writing this first review based on the epilator function. Upon opening the box I was pleased to find a beautiful looking product and pieces to either shave or epilate. I found the epilator to work well. I do have another product that works a little better at pulling shorter hair (facial). It did remove most of the hair on my face, and it was not as painful feeling as the other epilator I have. It was comfortable to use and the pivoting head really felt good going around the contours of my face. I also used it on the top of my thighs (the hair was longer and thicker) and it worked, but I had to go over spots repeatedly to get all the hair. I loved the light feature, it's a little light that illuminates the area you are epilating, it's great and actually helped me see any hair that I had missed. I also like that the speed is adjustable low/high. Overall it is a good product for epilating. I would definitely recommend it to a friend if they asked about it. I have included a picture of all the pieces that came with the Braun Silk-epil 7.

I am in LOVE with the Braun Silk épil 7
on September 4, 2015

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I am in love with the Braun Silk épil 7! Let me start by saying I detest body hair. I know thy a lot of people don't like to shave, but, no, I seriously hate body hair. Before trying this product, I was shaving my legs and bikini line every other day and under my arms EVERY day! Depositories are dull of harmful, cancer causing chemicals and often irritated my sensitive skin and waxing was not any better, often leaving me with tender, rashy skin.
I was hesitant to stop shaving , for a few days, in order to be able to try the Braun Silk épil 7, but, thank goodness I did! I will never use a razor, wax or chemical to remove my unwanted hair.
The vibration of the device actually partially numbs the skin. The first time i used the Braun Silk épil 7, I would describe the discomfort more as irritating than painful. Every time thereafter was less uncomfortable.
The hair regrowth was definitely lighter and finer. I would definitely recommend exfoliating the day before and the day after. Although they were few, I did experience a few ingrown hairs but gently exfoliating got rid of them.
Again, I love the Braun Silk épil 7. It has replaced my razor for good !
