Customer Reviews of Braun 5270 Silk-?pil X'elle Body System Epilator
Customer Review: Pros and cons
Summary: 4 Stars
As a redhead, I felt the need to expand on some of the other reviews I read before purchasing this product. I love this product- it is great for removing coarse hair, like bikini area and some on my legs. It is so much better than hair removal creams, because by removing the entire hair you get longer before you develop "stubble" and feel smoother much longer. The idea that it takes three weeks for hair to re-grow is medically inaccurate, and will disappoint people expecting to not have to use this epilator but every three weeks. (I have to use it about every three to four days.) This epilator is wonderful for pubic hair. When I use it on my legs it takes out the coarse hair, which makes my legs feel very smooth. It DOES NOT take out soft, fine hair, which is what I mostly have on my legs. So while my legs feel smooth, if you look at them (as I noticed the first time when out watching tennis in the sun) you see lots of little hairs. Of course, when you then shave with a razor, you still feel smoother for longer bc removing the coarse hair totally again makes you feel smoother longer than any other hair removal. I have spent extensive time trying to remove all the hair on my legs, but have realized it is just not going to take out the soft hair, but I really like the effect it has even just removing coarse hair. I tried it on some facial hair with the same effect- I bought another smaller emjoi epi-slim epilator which does better with facial hair.
Also, anyone with sensitive skin, just be aware your skin can develop little bumps when hair is removed (like a mosquito bite) but these go away on me in about 4-6 hours. The first time I used it I was horrified bc it looked like I had some kindof serious disease, but the inflammation completely went away. Because of this inflammation I can't use it the same night I am going out on a date or anything.
In my opinion, the pain is moderate the first time you use it. I did not think it was at all severe, and there was no way it would stop me from using the epilator. It feels like having several hairs plucked at once. (I kindof like the feeling bc I know it is working when I feel that sensation.) It is more tolerable when you use the epilator regularly, but I think that is just bc there isn't as much hair to remove with subsequent uses. I had no problem with the pain when doing my legs, underarms can be tear producing painful, and I stopped doing them (bc of the coarse/fine hair problems- I still had to shave them regularly). The pubic hair is variable. The outer hair is not too painful at all, but when you get to the more sensitive areas there are serious limitations. I am not able to do all my hair down there bc of pain.
I think there are some differences that people will notice depending on their hair type. Just wanted to give a heads up to all the other blond and redheaded women out there! :)
