Silk-épil 9 Flex SkinSpa, Epilator with 360° Flexible Head for Easy Hair Removal, Wet & Dry, Lasting Smooth Skin, All-in-One Kit, with Body Mini Shaver, SES9-481 3D, White/Gold

So I thought I would upgrade my old epilator and when I saw this on offer I jumped at it. This is a fantastic bit of kit I love the way the head moves to your body as it gives you a much smoother finish. Epilators do hurt however if you’re used to using an epilator I think you will find this a lot more comfortable to use I also found the smart sensor helpful too. All in all if you’re looking at getting an epilator for upgrading you old on like me or are a beginner I would highly recommend this epilator it is worth the extra money think of it as an investment in your comfort it does the job really well and the little extras you get in the skin spa pack are great to especially if like me there a certain areas you don’t want to epilate the little bikini trimmer is so handy and everything fits into this lovely little case so you can keep it all together and safe so I absolutely love it.

It works very well. Removes blonde hair very quickly, and removes black and thicker hair too. The first time you use it, it hurts a little, just so you know. I’ve used it on my arms, armpits and legs and I had long hair, so it was a little bit painful, but nothing really unbearable. I’ve used it on my hands too, to get rid of the little blond hair lol. I suggest to scrub your skin though, as other people also mentioned that it can give you ingrown hairs. I want to try it down there but not before trimming the area first… As it’s been few months after I trimmed my garden. I might try it on my holiday after shaving, and use it like the next day, hoping that it might be a little bit better. I will come back to update to write if it’s something doable or if a nightmare. Edit: Yes, it definitely hurts a lot down there!

This was an amazing purchase. I also managed to buy it when the price was very low. It works really really well, I really like the fact that the head rotates so much which makes it very easy to use, especially around the knee and ankle. You don’t have to worry as much about the hairs pulling in the wrong direction and getting ingrown. That being said, and maybe this is because of the way that I’m using it, but I do usually get ingrown when I use this so I have to make sure I exfoliate a lot in between uses. But it is a very good product, and probably the least painful epilator on the market.

I hesitated before buying this due to the cost but eventually persuaded myself. It’s a good looking epilator that is easy to use and works well. Definitely less painful than other epilators I’ve used. The flexible head makes getting into the contours of your body easy and the trimmer is a useful addition, although you cannot adjust the length of the trim. 4 stars due to the cost however if this lasts, it will be worth it.

This is my 3rd epilator, the two previous ones were of a different brand. The last one just stopped plucking hairs out, I would spend the longest on trying to clear one leg and still only half-worked, don't even mention armpits. So I decided to spend a bit more and got the Braun one. It takes literally half a minute to do one armpit, the legs (incl. around ankles which were so difficult previously) got done so quickly as well. I am highly impressed with its ability to pluck the shortest hair. There are 3 speed settings so it is also suited to areas with fine hairs such as arms. I have no experience with different Braun models but I cannot see how this model can even be improved, it is perfection and saves so much time and actually gives a beautiful result. I would give it 10 out of 5 starts if I could. Worth every euro. Just be aware that you will need an adapter if you are in UK/IRL as it comes with the continental European plug.

So I’m not going to lie. This does hurt, but only initially. I have now done all areas and the worst has been arm pits. However I’ve worked out the more you stretch your skin the less it hurts. The best bit is that after the first initial pain it slightly numbs. But the next time you use the epilator it definitely doesn’t hurt as much. I’ve now been using for about a month and I’ve followed instructions and watched a lot of YouTube videos. And I can now honestly say I use once a week with very little pain. Best thing I’ve ever invested in! I have fast hair growth and was spending a lot of money on razors. Laser also wasn’t an option since I have ginger hair. What I love is the versatility of it. Use it in the shower wet or dry. The head pivot definitely helps with easiness of use and making it less painful. I love the auto function for speed as it seems to know how quick you are moving. The light is also very helpful in illuminating any stray hairs which I might not have otherwise seen, especially as some of my hair is quite fair. Yes it’s a bit pricey but I see it as an investment and saving me money on shaving in the long term. It also seems very well built and not at all flimsy.

I haven’t owned this all too long, but so far I’m very pleased with it. I bought this to upgrade from a silk epil 7 and it does seem like a worthy upgrade. I seem to be able to get the job done in almost half the time and I don’t know if it’s in my head but it doesn’t feel as painful (don’t get me wrong, it’s certainly not pain free!!). I like that the head moves with your contours and I really like the case that comes with it for storage.

This is amazing!!! I used a cheaper epilator a few years back. Once for about 5mins and never again as it was so painful! Bought this and kept the massage roller attachment on for sensitive skin; it is incredible! My legs have never felt so smooth! It felt like little stings, a bit uncomfortable but not painful. 10mins and I had done both my legs and intimate area to be completely hair free. Had some chicken skin ie red bobbles where the hair had been pulled right out the follicle but after an hour or so, they’d gone. I highly recommend this product!!!
