Having been an epliation convert for a year now, I love having hair free legs for weeks on end, without annoying trips to the local salon. In 10mins max, my legs are smooth and silky. The unique system of the Braun Soft Perfection epilator whips even flat lying hair away from the root. I found the massaging rollers useful as they help to disguise the pain. I did try the cooling glove as it’s meant to minimize irritation but found that it was quicker without.
The Braun Soft Perfection is easy to hold, the head is easy to take off and clean and once you are used to epliation you can also remove the rollers, should you want to. The Braun Soft Perfection has 2 speeds which is great for beginners. I should also mention for beginners that you should try and epilate when your hairs are 2-5mm long, go any longer and it can be more painful, you’d be better off shaving and waiting for re-growth. I also make sure that I moisturise well as that stops any ingrown hairs, exfoliating regularly also helps. -- Danielle Smith, amazon.co.uk

This epilator is brilliant for first time users and seasoned pros. The speed settings allow you to experience both a ‘soft’ and ‘optimal’ epilating speed, so it’s your choice how quickly to ease yourself in.
The detachable heads make this product not only easy to clean (simply use the small brush provided) but also allow you to use it on any part of the body; legs, under arms and even the bikini area. One head will provide pulsating movements which relaxes the skin and makes for a gentle epilating experience. Another head allows maximum skin contact which ensures that all those stubborn hairs are removed.
The beauty of this product is that whether you have bristly hairs or fine whispy hairs, the ‘Braun Xelle’ will remove them, and keep them away for up to 4 weeks.
It really does work, and that’s the bottom line with this product, the 40 or so mechanical tweezers will leave your skin feeling smooth and stay feeling smooth far longer than a close shave will, and without the mess involved with waxing. -- Amanda Clelland, amazon.co.uk

Recently bought this product after deciding that regular waxing was too expensive. Was surprised at how small and light the epilator was - having had one years ago when they first came out which was heavy and noisy. The Philips Satinelle is easy to use and achieves smooth results in a short space of time. Fairly painless and that was even the first time using it on long fuzzy legs! The worst area to epilate is the front of the thigh but it's done so quickly the pain is short lived. Pleased with this product and should have bought one ages ago to save myself money and hassle of going to the salon. It would have been nice if it came with its own travel/carry case but have found a suitable one for the purpose. Overall a good product and great improvement on the original Epilady that I had years ago.
good value

Never used an epilator before, had mixed opinions from other users - some didn't rate them at all, others raved about them so I gave it a go. Didn't by the very cheapest, but kept the price relatively low in case it proved unsuccessful, but I couldn't be happier with the results. I will never 'shave' my legs again!

I bought this model because it was reduced and because I had never used an epilator before, so didn't want to spend a lot of money on one in case I didn't like it. This one comes with an icepack and shaver head.
I have used it on my legs and underarms , but not yet on my bikini line!
I found that it doesn't really hurt on my legs and that's without using the icepack. Some areas, like the backs of my legs, sting more that others, but if you pull the skin tight, it hurts a lot less. If you use the icepack it helps you keep the epilator at the right angle and it removes more hairs.
I've been using it for a few days and it does take practise and it can miss a lot of hairs so you have to keep going back over the same area. But the more you use it, the less it hurts.
It took two days to do my underarms! I had to keep stopping because it really stung. But the last time I used it, the pain had reduced and I was able to finish the job! You use a 'cap' that reduces the area of the epilator head, so removes fewer hairs at a time. I now have really smooth under arms and I know that the next time I do it it won't hurt a much.
I think the key to epilating is to just grin and bear it and the results are worth it.
I only gave 4 stars because it's a bit noisy and it didn't remove as many hairs as I had hoped in one go. But I expect that is down to user error rather than a duff machine.
Enjoy!
Better than Shaving or Waxing

This is the first Epilator I have bought as I was recommended to buy one by a friend. A lot better than shaving and being left with ingrown hairs and itchy hair regrowth and a lot easier and less messy than waxing. Don't get me wrong it still hurts but the results are worth it. I would say that the first couple of times you just have to grin and bear it. Hope this helps someone thinking about buying one as I was very undecided with the reviews I read but would definitely recommend it.
