Review (5/5): Great product!!! Its paid for itself in 3 months!
I have always been a shaver until I finally got tired of it and decided to try waxing. Contrary to my friends' opinion, I realized waxing was not that painful. (I have had 2 kids naturally...now nothing else can't even hold a candle to that kind of pain!) I actually enjoyed the long gaps I could go between wax jobs. But then as I got more comfortable with waxing, I started wondering how there couldnt be a less messier way to get rid of body hair. And thats when I saw an epilator listing on amazon, appearing in related products. I went through almost all of the zillion reviews listed and that itself is a great tutorial if you want to get a product. In almost a couple days, I had compared, studied and made up my mind too! I finally bought Braun Silk Epil Female Epilator SE7921 and I can honestly say, that this is what I have been looking for.
Now about the product:
Cons: It hurts, but more like a small electric current over your skin. I get angry red bumps, (which happened when I used to wax too) but I have sensitive skin and I am ok with it. It goes away in about 90 minutes and I apply Eucerin Calming lotion after I use Epilator. If you are prone to ingrown hair like me, then make sure you use a good exfoliating scrub/loofah/ the exfoliation system that comes with this pack once a week.
I have even tried using it on my underarms (it definitely hurts more than the small electric current, and I have to use it in a gentle tapping motion rather than the sweep I do in my arms and legs)
Pros: My skin is smoother because I exfoliate regularly now. My body hair is finer and takes at least 2 weeks to grow back to noticeable lengths. My underarms are softer and lighter because I have stopped shaving. Even the hair that grows back is less noticeable.
Not to mention my little investment has paid off nicely, now that I dont have to buy wax strips.
Overall, I am a happy customer. But since this product comes not so cheap, my advise would be to try this product once and see how you feel about it, and then buy it.
