Better than waxing

[…] I found it incredibly easy to use and an effective and efficient hair removal technique. I like that I can remove my unwanted hair from the comfort of my own home and in my own time. The hair removal was far more thorough than waxing as it is able to remove the tiny, thin hairs that are often missed with waxing.

Great for beginners

[…] it soon becomes painless. It removes hairs quickly and I found it was so easy to use and clean afterwards. I’m actually pretty addicted to using it now as I find you can use it on your legs, underarms and bikini line. It charges so quickly that I find it’s quicker and cleaner than waxing and doesn’t leave that plucked chicken look.

Amazing product!

[…] This epilator head is the most painless version I have ever used. I don't cringe whenever it is time to use it because I know it is almost painless. I don't know how Braun managed that, but THANK you! I love the ergonomic design which makes it easy to hold onto and not cause any slipping. The device is lightweight and very quiet. […]

I have never used an epilator before so was a little bit unsure how I was going to get on with this.The instructions were very easy to follow and I managed to get rid of any unwanted hair easily enough.My skin felt really smooth & soft afterwards and I love that it has different methods and also wet and dry usage too!.Very happy with this epilator.

Silk epil5

[…] Great to hold and great to use. Never used an epilator before so was rather nervous as been told they hurt.. It does hurt a little on first use but you soon get use to it. Great shape to hold. All parts were easy to use. Great to use in shower also. Even hubby tried it.. All round I highly recommend this epilator. 110% fantastic..
