Braun Epilator Silk-épil 5 5-810, Hair Removal Device, Epilator for Women, Shaver & Bikini Trimmer, Cordless, Rechargeable, Wet & Dry

I am a complete new to epilating. I had never heard of them until I was looking for women's electric shavers and stumbled across them. I had to Google. They seemed a little scary as the consistent complaint was they hurt!I'm not a fan of waxing. I also have attempted to pluck with a tweezer so 20 tweezers sounded painful! But the idea that it gets better as you go, I thought maybe I could suffer a little and make it though. I almost purchased a diff braun epilator but opted for this one as it's a beginner. And I figured, in worst case scenario, I could use the attachment as an electric razor.I have chin hair that is super annoying, not. Erh lady like and I have to shave daily. It's annoying hence why I was willing to endure some pain.First use. Oh my gosh, it does hurt. It actually made me bleed in a few spots. Lot like lots of bleeding but tiny pricks of blood. I thought, maybe I used wrong. Looked up. Apparently this can be normal when the hair is in a blood vessel. So I continued on a different section working around back to where it had made me bleed. I also had to break it up into diff days. I got curious and oh my gosh, it had pulled out a lot of hair !! It yanks all of it. I was only focused on the black hair but it go everything.Second day. At it again. And yes, still hurting especially in spots where I had not completed the day before. Some more bleeding. Pretty much same scenario except where I went back over spots where it had missed, it didn't hurt as bad. I assume bc it's wasn't yanking so many hairs out lol3rd day; only a few spots as painful as first day but on a whole, could already tell it was decreasing. Less bleeding. This time I completely the task. And would see what happened in a week.A week later, some hairs growing out but not near where I started. Still painful but could tell pain was decreasing. Less bleeding. Then a few days later, had a few more hairs popping up probably bc I broke it up over a few days during first time. And decided to work on my side burns. Lol again, the pain! So new areas are like a first time and yes, it's painful.Ok, so I think I've had for a month now. I just did it again. Hardly any pain. Lol a few owes but not too bad. No bleeding. I actually was able to go quickly and even turner the speed up. Felt like I was winning at this lol. I'm still impressed with how many hairs it grabs onto. I look in mirror and I don't see but a few. But then I go to clean it, and I'm Like wow!!! I'm also charging it for the first time battery lasts a decent amount of time.Here's my tips from 1 newb to another new. I found the first time better to go slower. Fast hurt like a motha! So try both ways and see what hurts less. If it's too painful, take breaks and even break it over a few days. Keep at it and it does get better. Also, I found when there is a lot of hair gathered inside the epilator, it does hurt more as it seems to start yanking hair more so empty and keep going. Going against the grain does hurt less imo. feels like less yanking but is kind of hard to do if doing on chin. Pulling skin tight helps. And applying some pressure so on skin not hovering.As far as assesories and attachments go, they seem ok. Nothing to brag about. The piece to turn epilator into razor, does not get a close shave. I tried with the guard and straight foil razor. Not impressed. The bikini shaver seems to be pretty good. I didn't use for bikini but did use on face. Got a close shave so assume it will work well. There is a piece that's confusing. The top has a blade like a regular razor and the bottom has a whole for an epilator. I'm not brave enough to use this piece nor do I understand why someone would? I have not tried the piece without the massaging rolling pins. I assumed it would work better as it's supposed to be the beginner piece I believe.The button is supposed to show red when you apply too much pressure but I am using on my chin therefore can't see it. This would be one complaint about design however unsure how they could fix this. Maybe a ring light as I am using on a mirror when doing this. Of course, many are probably using on legs so probably not an issue.My opinion, if your tired of plucking and shaving regularly, buy it! Yes it's painful at first but it gets better and soooo worth it. It also makes my skin feel super soft. It would probably help if I exfoliated but who has time for that?

The epilator is worth the cost, can use in water no problem, comes with multiple attachments and accessories. My skin got very bumpy after my first use, but I think because of the pain I was going a little too fast causing some hairs to not be pulled out properly so be careful with that. When you first use the machine it does hurt, but eventually your skin kind of gets used to it! For the first time I’ve had hairless legs for weeks, I recommend

Anteriormente tenia una depiladora Philips satinelle, pero al compararla con esta, la verdad es que si hay una gran diferencia. La limpieza es más fácil, la depilación es mucho más precisa y cómoda, incluso en áreas más delicadas como las axilas. Me gustó mucho.

Muy fácil de usar y bastante amable con la piel

I have lady hairs on my chin, this works great to get rid of them. May pinch, but tolerable.
