Product Reviews of the Braun SE7781 Silk-Epil Xpressive Epilator Body System, Rechargeable
Product Review: great for people new to epilating
Summary: 5 Stars
I am brand new to epilating and didn't know if this was for me. Hope this can help you if you find yourself in my situation. I hate shaving and have dark hair and fair and SENSITIVE skin.
Definitely tolerable and so worth the results. I have never waxed my legs or bikini line, butdo wax my underarms. I epilated my underarms first because I heard it was easier if you were accustomed to waxing. It works very well for the underarms. I had very little discomfort. Worst part was that I didn't have my technique down and got a little skin irritation from pushing down too hard on the first swipe. You need a very light touch to get a good contact. That irritation last less than 12 hours and was relieved by Gold Bond Medicated Powder.
For my legs, I epilated with the hairs about 2mm in length. I did not do anything fancy to numb my legs first. Don't be fooled by the special Olay wipes, they have nothing in them to numb your leg, just to clean it. (It's the same stuff they put in waxing kits to prep the hairs). The legs were more uncomfortable than my underarms, but definitely tolerable and did both legs with no problems. I would recommend starting somewhere that is a less sensitive area to get a feel for how it will go. I started just to the side of my shin, a couple of inches below the knee. I would not recommend starting at your ankles, like when you shave. I kept a towel in one hand to wipe off the pulled hairs and to help pull skin tight while epilating. I, too, got little red bumps at every hair follicle site. I did not treat them with any powders, lotion, or cream. They went away overnight, so I would give yourself a day or two if you are planning on nice legs for an event. I can't speak yet for what it will do in the bikini area. If you find yourself needing a numbing lotion/cooling cream to help with sensitivity, you can usually find some to purchase at a local beauty supply store.
