Nice epilator
on June 29, 2018
Posted by: LesaM
Gender:Female
I was excited to have the opportunity to review this wet/dry epilator. I have been wanting to try this for a while, with hormonal issues that cause rapid facial hair growth, this looks to be a lifesaver. I was most concerned with the hair on my chin and upper lip, but I surprisingly found that it works very well for underarms, legs, and other areas as well. First, I was so afraid that it would be painful and/or cause hair bumps. But, I found that this was not the case at all. In fact, it is very painless with the exception of my top lip. That area had a bit of snapping like rubber bands popping my top lip. If you have ever had laser hair removal, it sort of feels like that but milder. I assume that it is because the hair is finer there and that's a more sensitive area, but it is nothing to be alarmed about. It is a virtually pain-free process. I have found that it is most beneficial if you exfoliate and cleanse on a regular basis to keep your pores and hair follicles clear of dirt, debris and oil, so don't forget to do that between treatments. I did notice that there were some places where my chin meets my neck, that hair was most hard to get to; maybe three hairs from that area but that is understandable. For those, I was able to just pluck with tweezers. I have had no hair bumps or irritation, and plan to use this handy device exclusively for my face. There are so many attachments and even a storage bag included to keep everything together. I love that it's rechargeable and has a battery indicator plus two speeds. I highly recommend it.
Pros: easy to use, rechargeable battery, attachments, dual speeds, sensitive
Cons: noise
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good Concept; Could be Revamped

I received this product in exchange for my unbiased opinion.
I`ve used epilators before and they always make me think of some torture device. This Philips Advanced Wet/Dry Epilator doesn`t feel so bad. I`m not a big waxer but I would say that the pain factor is far less than waxing.
I like that this product can be used while my skin is wet or dry, which means I can use it right out of the shower. The concave shape works well for my legs but it doesn`t work very well for my ankles, knees or armpits. I believe that the overall shape of the epilator could use some improvement so that I wouldn`t have to shave my ankles and knees.
This product yanks out big, thick hairs like a pro but it seems to struggle with finer hairs, often leaving them behind. Thankfully, these hairs are fine enough that I don`t look like I have man legs anymore but I don't like having to go over the same area over and over again. Who has time for that?
I am enjoying not having to deal with razor burn and itchy bumps, which is a massive plus. Overall, I`m exciting to continue using this epilator in my routine
Pros: wet or dry usage
Cons: doesn't get all the hair, concave shape makes no sense
I would recommend this to a friend!

I like it!

I was excited to receive my complementary Satinelle Advanced Wet & Dry epilator in exchange for my review. I have been in the market for a product that could do more than cover one or two areas and that would also be useable in the shower, so the timing of receiving this product was perfect. I find that it works best in my bikini area, legs and under arms. If I use it out of the shower, I can really feel the hairs being pulled. Ouch! It feels much better when used in the shower. So far, this has been one of the better hair removal systems I`ve used for the body.
It didn't get all the fine hairs on my face and my chin area became a bit sensitive after using it. Overall, I like this product. I will definitely continue using it. Another great feature is that it doesn`t require batteries.
Pros: great for body
Cons: facial hair removal not as easy
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Epilator - Easy to Use
on June 25, 2018

This review is not paid for in any way by the company. I was given this product in exchange for an honest and unbiased review of this product:
First Impressions/Aesthetics:
I love how sleek and pretty the epilator is, aesthetically. It’s slender and lightweight and fits well in my hand.
I love how sleek and pretty the epilator is, aesthetically. It’s slender and lightweight and fits well in my hand.
When I plugged it in for its first charge I was a bit surprised at how delicate the charger felt. I feel like I will have to take very good care of it because it could wear through quickly if not treated with extra care. The charger of my previous charger was a lot thicker and sturdier in general, but again, this was an epilator that could only be operated while plugged in.
I love that the epilator comes with a little storage bag, which is convenient, but I’ll obviously need to get my own to offer sufficient protection.
First Use:
For my first use I used the epilator on my legs with one of the skin stretching guards, with the massaging guard, and without any attachments. First of all I loved how I wasn’t plugged into the wall like my previous epilator and I was able to move it around freely without limit. I also think it’s fabulous that it can be charged because I won’t need to hunt for an outlet when I travel or need to do a quick epilating session.

I also think it’s fabulous that it can be charged because I won’t need to hunt for an outlet when I travel or need to do a quick epilating session.
I really enjoyed using the epilator with the massaging attachment. I could see the fine hairs collecting and a little light allowed me to see the hair that was about to go through the epilator. The room I was in was semi-dark so I thought I’d be able to rely on the light of the epilator to shine on the hair on my legs but it is such a soft light that it really only shines on the hair about 1cm or less out. So you can only see the hair you’re about to epilate.
I like how the tweezers on the epilator are firm enough to grab and remove fine hair but I did notice on thicker hairs that I had to go over a couple times. The “pinch” of their hair being pulled out on this epilator is softer than my previous epilator, although it’s also more frequent because it’s grabbing even the fine hair.
There was much to epilator on the delicate parts but for the little that was there it seemed that the epilator did a good job.
The inward curved shape of the epilator head definitely involved a learning curve for me as my previous and only other epilator has an ever so slight outward curve. For a first use it was more difficult to get the epilator to get the hair on my leg along the front bony part, but again this is probably part of the learning curve.
The instructions are to rinse for 15 seconds after every use and I did this, unlike with my previous epilator, but because I live in a hardwater area that chews through metal pipes I think this could lead to an early demise for my epilator, so I think I’m going to opt instead for spritzing it with alcohol while it’s on and rolling and maybe every couple weeks pouring purified water to give it an extra rinse. I feel that this will save the blades from being eaten through by hard water rinses. I’m also nervous about using the epilator wet for this reason.
Final Feedback:
Overall I like the feel of this epilator but I definitely want to see where we are in a couple months. I noticed that the blades are made from plastic as opposed to my old epilators stainless steel tweezers and it seems to me that the metal has a stronger grip on my hair than this epilator’s plastic tweezers. If this epilator has metal/stainless steel tweezers blades it would be my favorite. Still a great epilator and a great feel.

Pros: wireless use after charging, lightweight, versatile attachments, sleek design
Cons: plastic epilator blades versus stainless steel

Fantastic epilator
on July 5, 2018

In exchange for my unbiased opinion I received a Phillips Satinelle Wet and Dry Epilator for review.
USE: I`m a very pleased with its ability to remove hair effortlessly. Charge life is also long lasting. Shape is perfect for holding and doesn`t slip around.
Assemble and Directions: Simple to follow and attachments connect easily.
Cleaning and storage: Easy to clean except I wish the bristles were a bit firmer. Everything fits nicely in storage bag and i love how it is washable.
Wet VS. Dry: Both do a superior job with easy hair removal.
Shave VS. Epilator: Nice close shave even dry. Epitator preferred for longer lasting removal.
Overall I would give two `hairs up` and defenitly purchase isn`t of a competitor.

I received a free Satinelle Advanced Wet & Dry Epilator to try and I was so excited to use and review this product. My expectations were exceeded! It did exactly what it said it would do. However, it is kind of painful using it the first time. But it left my legs and arms so soft and smooth and removed all the unwanted hair. I loved this product!
