Product Reviews of Panasonic ES2045P Wet/Dry Two-Speed Epilator with Three Heads (Pink)
Product Review: Not bad for a home device
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this because I was tired of forking over $$$ for waxing and don't like to shave all the time. I haven't tried it wet, but have used both the shave head and the epilator head. I didn't like the shaver, but the epilator is ok. It does require several passes over an area to get all the hair, but if you are patient it does work fine.

I just bumped this up to 4 stars as it is still working great. I have been using it for several years now, and the hair on my legs has gotten thinner and more sparse from using it, and it is very quick and easy to remove the hair now with the epilator. I still haven't used it wet, but I love how easy it is and the fact that usage over time makes the hair thinner and more sparse (so you can get away with not "shaving" as often).
Product Review: Not good for sensitive skin
Summary: 2 Stars
I am very pale and have very sensitive skin. Using the epilator even with lather was insanely painful and caused blood blisters from pulling out the hair. What's the point in removing the hair if you are breaking out in rashes and blood blisters?? I also found that it didn't grab the hair very well at all, so it's a lot of pain and frustration for almost no hair removal.Product Review: Not good..
Summary: 2 Stars
I've returned my Panasonic ES2045P Epilator.. it was just not good at all! I had to rub it several times on my skin to pull out the hair, there were certain hairs that it just did not pull out at all! I do not reccomend it to anyone! I bought another Epilator from Braun and I really like it! So if you are going to spend your money, spend it well!! The only good thing about the Panasonic Epilator is that it does not hurt as much as others.. but maybe this is only because it does not pull out the hair that way it was supposed to..oh well!Product Review: Not quite...(revised)
Summary: 3 Stars
I have previously used the Emjoi Gently Gold Caress and the Braun Silk Epil, and I have to say this is definitely the best. With the other 2 you can only use them dry, so I would usually take a shower, exfoliate, and then use it after my shower. My skin would usually be sore and red for a while afterward and it did hurt somewhat. One thing I didn't like about epilating was that you had to do it dry, and I missed taking baths and shaving (although I don't like the results of shaving), so I decided to give this product a try.
I did as the instructions said and put body wash onto the tweezers and the area that I was epilating. As I epilated, it created suds which helped it glide along. Here are the good points of the product:
1. It took the hair off easily and less painfully than the other epilators. It wasn't completely pain free, but it was much better.
2. Because you use it in the shower, you can easily rinse and dry it and you're done. With my Braun epilator, it gets dirty easily and the hairs are difficult to get out.
3. It comes with a little cap, which I really appreciate (Braun does not).
4. You can use it without the cord
5. It seemed to leave my underarms and legs even smoother than with other epilators and with much less redness or irritation.
6. Slightly quieter than other epilators I've tried, but still could be quieter.
Bad points:
1. It didn't remove every single hair...but I have never seen an epilator that could.
2. As with all epilation, it is time consuming to do your legs, but the soap suds make it easier, and it's worth it because you dont have to do it that often.
3. You can't use it with the cord plugged in.
I haven't tried the shaver or trimmer yet. For those people who are complaining that the charge didn't last very long, keep this in mind: when used the first time, it needs to be charged a full 20 hours before use. After that, 12 hours should be sufficient. But if the battery goes completely dead, it will need to be charged another 20 hours again. Also, you have to use body wash or something sudsy, otherwise it won't work, it even says that in the directions. I love this epilator and am so happy that I made the purchase.
**Update**: After using this for about a year now, I can give a more thorough review. It still works great in the shower on my underarms. But after using it on my legs a few times I started getting SEVERE ingrown hairs. They would be so bad that the whole area would become swollen and painful like nothing I'd ever had before. I am very disappointed because I don't think I am going to be able to use this on my legs again, because the ingrown hairs are a regular occurance and are very bad. I am confused about why this is happening and am starting to think it is only this particular epilator...as I mentioned before, I have used both the Emjoi Gently Gold Caress and Braun before this and never had this problem with the ingrowns. If anyone else out there has had this same problem and can give me some info, please comment.
I have also used the shaver and the "bikini comb" thing, both of which I was disappointed in. On my legs, it didn't give me a very close shave at all, and my hair is not even very thick or dark. I also tried to use it on my bikini area and it was pointless, the shave was so NOT close that I would have rather just used a dull razor, it would have at least got closer. The bikini trimmer thing is worthless, I gave up trying to use it and just used my old trimmer.
Product Review: Okay, while it worked
Summary: 2 Stars
It worked great on the legs - while it worked. But after just a couple of months of, honestly, not even that much use, the battery stopped recharging fully. Unlike a previous epilator I'd had, this one can't be used while it is recharging, so that's a real nuisance. It won't even last long enough to get half of one leg done!
I never tried using it in the water, so I can't say how it would have worked there. I cleaned it out quite thoroughly, so there's no way it is jammed or anything like that. I don't have heavy hair growth, either - I've waxed or epilated enough in the past that there's just not that much hair there any more.
I will NOT be trying another Panasonic in the future, and I would recommend that others stay away from this brand, as well. Obviously, this is a case of "you get what you pay for."
