I never write reviews but I feel like I benefitted so much from reading other folks’ reviews and watching YouTube videos, etc. that I should add my two cents! I have very sensitive skin and very thick hair; I’m one of those people for whom waxing never gets less painful and for whom my hair only sort of thins out over time. I’ve always dreaded my wax appointments, and wished I could find another way. I finally did. This gadget arrived last night. I’ll be direct with you: I wanted this for my entire bikini area. Entire area, ok? Not just outside bikini lines. As of yesterday, I barely had one day’s worth of stubble in some areas and in others which had been tweezed (tweezed!!! The suffering through which I have lived!!!!) I had even less, including areas where I could see hair was about to grow but hadn’t broken the skin yet. Same for my inner thighs. But when the Epil 9 arrived I still wanted to try it. Now, I’d read many a review saying it hurts so bad etc. and I can genuinely say this does not hurt more than a wax and in fact is much more manageable because you can take breaks and you are in control. It takes longer than waxing, yes, because of those breaks/control, but the overall experience is (for me) much more pleasant. I’m in my own home. I can do some, come back later to do more, etc. And while I will certainly update this review to share my experience over time, here’s what I can say as someone totally new to epilating who used this for the first time last night without any prep minus exfoliating and showering earlier in the day: — This was so easy to use. — This worked shockingly well on what had seemed nearly nonexistent hair. It pulled more out than I thought I even had, and it got the roots as far as I can tell. — The safety features work! It sort of self-propels a little and disaster was narrowly averted when it immediately shut off when it sensed it was about to pinch skin. — In fifteen minutes or so, I had been brave enough to do the entire top of my bikini area and about half the sides and my inner thighs. Today I play to finish the job. It’s only scary because it’s the first time, I think, and because I don’t trust myself yet. But on a whim for a first time I was thrilled with what I got done. — At first I was a little red and a few follicles had a tiny bit of blood. But truly, tiny. Barely worth mentioning. Within an hour or two all redness was gone and my skin actually feels less tender than it does after a wax. — My first attempt was done dry. No hot water, not fresh out of the shower, etc. and things went fine. I moisturized after. — Need to emphasize — I was working on the most delicate part of my body and everything was fine, effective, and easy to use even as someone who has never done this before. If you’re interested in an alternative to waxing, this thing truly seems to do the trick and will pay for itself. While I initially purchased for only bikini/Brazilian area, I’m actually considering doing my legs too. This is a game changer!

I've only used this item three times so far, and only on my chin and upper lip areas. So far, the results have been excellent. I have had a lifelong issue with dark, coarse hair on my chin/neck and upper lip areas, and it has been a challenge that long to find a solution. I most recently was just using a small women's rotary shaver type thing, with barely adequate results. I had to use it every other day, and had to replace the shaver frequently due to product failure. This epilator has been a revelation. These are things I need to point out: 1. Resting a hot washcloth on the area for about 20 seconds beforehand helps with comfort. However, I find the process only stings a bit. I would not classify the sensation as pain nor discomfort. 2. Witch hazel takes post treatment redness away - though I have not had much of that. 3. It can be difficult to get into certain spots - beneath nose and edge of lip. I try stretching the skin with my fingers. 4. Results are much better and seem to last longer than my previous product. I have not used the other products in the package. I lost the little cleaning brush and I'm unhappy about that.

For me its not perfect, I used to have the old version (2005) and its was more strong, now its more secure to use, It adapts better to the body, but it doesn't remove hairs well.

This is my second one. Love it. Easy to use.

Disgusted and disappointed. I always considered Braun to be a quality product. But when I opened the epilator and explored all the pieces I realized I was sent a used product. The little "grabbers" on the epilator was full of hairs. At first I tried to remove the hairs but I got grossed out. Ironically the product information said not to share the epilator due to hygene considerations. I am in the process of returning the epilator. Would have loved to try this product because it received such good reviews.

Returned iteem,not what I wanted

If you’re like me and had the old SilkEpil 9 and “upgraded” to this one only to be disappointed that it not only doesn’t come with a stand, Braun doesn’t even sell one for it…I got you. I hate things laying around charging on the bathroom counter. I NEED a stand. If you have one from the older model (hint: you can buy a replacement one from Brauns website), take a Dremel and file the front of the stand down until the epilator connects. The front of the Flex is a little bit fatter so you’ll need to make room for that to sit on the front. Other than that, the charging cords are the exact same. Not necessarily pretty, but fully functional. You’re welcome.

No se consiguen repuestos en Colombia

WOW, so I just got it today and I tried it on my arms first as I shave once in a while. It took even the fine hairs. My leg hairs were small and I doubted it would get them but it did! I remember trying my mom’s epilator when I was young and it being painful. It was only minor irritation this time! Amazing!!! I’m in LOVE. The photo is from what I thought were tiny leg hairs

When I first purchased it, I thought oh boy, here's pain coming my way. But l was truly surprised. No pain, my legs are smooth and l don't have to shave as often as l used to.

Très efficace. Je le recommande fortement

Tel quel que la description

The two round attachments, massage and exfoliation fall out easily when in use, the mini trimmer and shaver works well. I tried the exfoliator even with speed control its still painful
