I have been hairy my entire life. Fortunately, I am blonde and still at the age of 58. My body hair is still quite light. It hasn’t, however gotten a whole lot less as I’ve aged.I have tried everything my entire life! In my 20s, I purchased the first epilator that was a coil that ripped the hair out of your skin and was the most painful experience ever. After several tries, I passed it on to a friend who passed it on to a friend, who no doubt threw it away. From shaving, using Nair to salon waxing, and 2 failed attempts at professional laser treatments a decade of technology improvements apart, nothing has minimized my problem……Until now!After reading multiple reviews for several brands, I decided it was time to give this decade’s epilator a try. As soon as it arrived, I eagerly charged it. The booklet is a little bit confusing on trying to figure out which head to use or if, but sitting with the pieces and the diagrams in front of me, I figured it out.Day, one was an hour long session, tackling my arms and legs. There is a little sting at first, but I was so excited by how effective this is that I stopped noticing.Day two I tackled my armpits and bikini area. Again, a little uncomfortable with the under arms, but it took very little time to complete and absolutely no hair remaining.This is day three and I spent about 10 minutes going over little spots that I may have missed during the first pass. It’s still showing green positive sign for the charge. My skin is baby soft with absolutely no regrowth stubble anywhere after three days.I can’t tell you enough how totally shocked I am by the performance and minimal discomfort this epilator has caused. I wish I had known about this sooner. This is a life changer, and anyone that has battled a hairy body like I have shouldn’t even debate! The fact that I won’t have to shave or cream my arms every three months has given me so much confidence. I will update in the future if my opinion or results change but this Braun epilator and I have a date once a week for 10 or 15 minutes to maintain the work I completed today. Oh, the money I could’ve saved over the years had an epilator of this quality been available.

Jennifer Connolly talked about it on her Blog, she said she loved it so I took her word for it and bought it. I have not regretted that decision. If I had a negative on any part of it, it would be in the instructions showing you how to put it together for different uses. I found if confusing and had my daughter help me, it took her a few minutes to 'sort out' the way each photo is numbered and shown.

Love this! It works great wet or dry and has many attachments. It can shave,massage, or be an epilator. Also has a face washing brush.

Couldn’t give this 5 stars because of a few annoying things, but I’m glad I found it. I bought it mainly for dark chin hair and upper lip. It does a great job of getting rid of it, on an equal par with laser treatments. Some tips: be patient, there’s a learning curve. And it does hurt the most the first time or two. You are removing a lot of hair, it’s going to hurt. Again, to me it’s on the same level as laser hair removal as far as discomfort. Totally doable for the nice results. Take some breaks the first few times.You have to hold it at a 90 degree angle to your skin, not tilted. Don’t push down. Pull your (clean and dry) skin tight. It’s important to go at the hair from all angles, always on tight skin. you. Once that hair is out, it’s out for weeks. After the first time or two, I now use the higher speed.Annoying things: the directions and pictures are terrible. Spend some money on your literature with larger print and clearer pictures. It is hard to turn on and off with wet or damp fingers. And I don’t feel it stays charged very long at all, still charged but you can hear it’s not rotating as fast. I sense this becoming a problem. My skin is now soft and clear and I couldn’t be happier about that!

Works well to remove facial and underarm hair. Yes, it hurts, but expected that. You get used to it after awhile. Definitely would buy again. I'm happy with this purchase.
