To be honest I was quite apprehensive about trying an epliator again because of the pain. I bought one a few years ago but only managed a couple of goes before I threw it away. Nevertheless I was determined to give this one a go.For those of you who have not used an epliator before, it is pretty much a shaver type product that has tiny tweezers inside the head to pull the hair out. I read the instructions before starting but was surprised to find that it did not have a normal plug socket on the end; just one of those 2 prong shaver plugs. Luckily I had an adapter in the house. I found it very easy to use, particularly with the light and rotating head, which makes it a lot more comfortable and gets a closer grip.I'm not going to lie, it hurts!! The sort of pain you get when you have a tattoo (apologies to those who have not had one) as it really does sting but you sort of get used to the pain after a while. The cooling glove definitely helps. Redness went down after about an hour or so.After 5 days I had absolutely no re-growth on my legs and just a bit around the bikini line. You find that if you keep on top of it and use it every week or so, the pain gets much easier to manage, particularly as less hair grows back.So, pros.....in my opinion it lasts longer than waxing and obviously far longer than shaving. The rotating head and cooling glove are great and make the experience more comfortable.Cons.....does not come with a standard plug or adapter. Also does not hold a charge so you have to keep it plugged in while using. The ability to use it cordless would be a massive help.In summary, I found this a much better experience than the cheap epilator I tried a few years ago so it has completely changed my view on them. As long as you can get used to the annoying pain, it is definitely worth it. Much cheaper than getting regular waxes as well! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

This kit is aimed at epilation newbies and did not disappoint.In order to truly put this epilator through its paces I let my leg hairs grow enough that I did not totally resemble a sasquatch, but enough that I could judge how well it dealt with hairs of different lengths.I am a regular epilator and have had several models over the years all of which have served me well.The head is quite narrow compared to my normal epilator which meant I had to go up and down a lot my leg more than normal to get rid of the hairs, but for facial use its narrow head is an advantage.On the plus side the Braun Silk Epil 5780 was quick,efficient and surprisingly painless.The special massaging rollers on one of the heads do seem to reduce the pain significantly and for those who arre really worried about it hurting the Braun Silk Epil comes with a special ice pack you pop in the freezer and then use in a cooling glove supplied as part of the kit to help ease the pain.There are a variety of caps in the kit that cover the epilator head and are there to help out with delicate areas. there is also a shaver head included so it really is a total body kit. Its quick and pretty efficient at what it does.The integral light is a useful addition and makes it easy to see the lurking hairs.. Changing heads and cleaning the epilator are a doddle.On the minus side it is corded, which is a bit of a pain when going round the back of your legs but then I am used to cordless. I also found the on off switch not particularly easy to use, Its a bit fiddly.However, that said,my overall opinion is that the Braun Silk Epil 5780 is a good basic kit and something very well suited to an epilation newbie.

So as a confirmed wuss and epilator virgin, I was not massively looking forward to this, but hate shaving my legs, only just stopped crying from the first and last time I waxed and cannot abide the smell of creams.....I at first thought it was rechargeable, so after the initial confusion, I read the instructions, which were pretty straight forward, I also familiarised myself with the array of attachments and accessories that come with the epilator. Loads of different attachments for different body areas, or gentle epilating.Once I had cooled the gel pack in the freezer, I decided to give the epilator a try, I had not shaved my legs for 10 days, so they were quite stubbly,I clicked the epilator head into place along with the attachment for gentle depilating..and off I went...I won't lie, it hurt a little bit, but this is where the magic of the cooling glove came into it's own, the gel pack is removed from the freezer and inserted into the silver glove, I then applied to my skin for approx 20/30 seconds before depilating, it made it totally pain free, I was amazed, and managed to epilate both legs quite happily.The results for a first time user were pretty good, only a couple of small areas I had to go over again, but this would be down to my poor technique rather than a problem with the device.My legs are smooth and I suffered no irritation or stinging at all, just a few red dots, which faded within a minute or so..which also pleasantly surprised me.I would definitely recommend this epilator, my only negative is that it is not cordless, so I had to sit on the floor near a plug socket to use it.

Took me a long time to pluck up the courage to actually try this as I had been told that it hurts. I thought it was fab that the product comes with a cooling glove (essentially an ice pack) that you put in the freezer two hours before use and you can use it to almost numb the skin before epilating and cool after epilating. The epilator also comes with different head adapters for different body parts, and has 2 speed controls. This is particular useful as a beginner when you are not ready to be quite so full on straight away. I used the epilator on my tummy and my legs and the experience it's self was not as painful as expected. However it was still a little uncomfortable but no more than any other hair removal i.e waxing.Saying this, I have not yet been brave enough to epilate more sensitive areas. My skin felt great after, really was very smooth and the epilator really did remove every little hair. I had to drag the epilator in many different directions over my skin to do this as my hair grows in different directions. I have tried this twice since and have had a good experience both times. It takes no more time than shaving would, but the results last a lot longer. I found I got better results if I fully exfoliated before epilating, but still had good results without. Overall, found this product brilliant and have not stopped telling everyone. I have polycystic ovarian syndrome and my hair grows very fast so this product is a godsend in that sense. If you can get past the initial fear that I had, it's definitely worth it! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

This is my first epilator hence i have been waiting to see how long it will take for the hair to grow back to give you a useful feedback. I was genuinely kicking myself for buying one and lucky me #gotitforfree from bzzAgent.to start off with;The light is really useful as it shows you the finest hair, along with the 2 speed settings,a slower gentler one and a quicker one, it is nice to hold and easy to clean.Pulls hair right from the root and I find that the hairs grow back so much finer with continued use. I personally think it is enough to use once a week. it gets so much easier once you get use it. I have not used the accessories (cooling glove with gel pack, massaging attachment etc)as they didn't seem necessary .The only downside for me is that it is a 2 pin plug and can be only be used from mains if it was cordless could have been much easier and as ]I don't have a shaver point, I have had to invest in a travel adapter. The noise may put you off but i personally don't mind.I would recommend the Braun SE5780 Silk-Epil 5 Epilator. it it definitely worth a try especially for first time users as it is really easy to use.

I have used an epilator before but I gave up a year or so ago as I found the one I was using was so time consuming and didn't do a great job, so I couldn't wait to try the Silk-Epil. It was nicely packaged and as we have a shaver socket in the bathroom, it was no problem to charge up. The Olay wipes were a nice touch as they cool down your legs before you start.Well firstly I loved the light. It makes it so easy to see what you are doing and also makes it obvious if you need to go over a section again. Great idea guys. The pivoting head is also really good. I don't need to go into contortions to reach the back of my legs, which is quite important as I nearly fell off my bathroom stool using my last epilator!The speed settings are good and make you feel in control of things.It is slower than shaving but then again you stay hair free and smooth much longer so I think it is worth the extra time. I don't find it particularly painful but of course it is more painful than shaving. I shall be interested to see how long my legs feels smooth for. I must admit I have not tried my underarms yet but I may brace myself and have a go! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

This was my first time using an epilator but it won't be my last. The Braun Silk-Epil 5 is perfect for a first time user.There are plenty of attachments to help ease the pain - I particularly like the massaging rollers. If it gets uncomfortable there is a special soothing pack which you keep in the freezer. This was included in the box.Hair removal is good and my legs felt smooth afterwards. This improved on the second use (probably as my skin reacted less). I haven't tried it anywhere apart from my legs but the epilator is suitable for many areas. (Each with it's own attachment).The instructions were in depth and helped me out as a first time user.The epilator itself is a nice design and is compact for easy storage.One (very) slight quibble is that the on/off button isn't overly easy to grip.The epilator plugs into a shaving socket which is fine for me but perhaps some people would prefer a battery powered one.Overall a very good product which I will continue to use and would recommend.

I have never used an epilator before. I usually shave my legs and underarms, and pluck or wax my bikini line but not any more... I love this product. It is quick to use, doesn't hurt as much as I expected, and I was very happy with the results. I have been hair free since, with no re growth yet which is great. The hair on my legs was very short as I had recently shaved, and this epilator didn't manage to get the really short hairs. It has a light which is powerful enough to light up the area being shaved and this is really useful and works well, and the shape of the product is easy to hold and use, and small enough to take away on trips. I also really like the facial cleanser, which I have used every night.My skin was slightly dry, but this has made a difference already, removing the dry areas, and cleansing well, and my skin feels and looks more radiant, and my complexion more even. A great product which I am hoping stops me from getting occasional spots. So far, so good! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

As a first time user of an epilator I am definitely converted!! I found the Braun epilator so easy to use once I had looked at it. I used it on my legs and I didn't have any discomfort until I did my big toes. I have to say I am used to having my legs waxed and the hairs on my legs are quite sparse so maybe that is why I didn't feel any pain. When I epilated I had varying lengths of hairs some long and some short and the Braun coped with them all very well leaving my legs silky smooth I found it quick to do with very little effort and the added bonus of no smell or sticky wax unlike chemical or waxing techniques. After use it was easy to clean and I had no reaction to the epilation.I would give this product a full 5 stars if it had been rechargeable cordless although that's just me being picky as most of our gadgets are cordless. My friends are impressed with the excellent results and I am checking there handbags before they leave !! [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

This is not the first time I have used an epilator but it is the first time in a very long time. I was very delighted to see a smooth finish with a virtually pain free experience when using the Braun Silk-epil 5. I was happy that their was a choice of 2 settings which eases you into using the epilator. I am very hairy by nature and I find that I have to shave every 3 days but with this I have been left relatively smooth and definitely not prickly for close to a week. I like that it comes with a cool pack but I didn't notice that much of difference when using it, a nice added extra. I also like that it comes with a travel pouch for easy storage and travelling of course.It dismantles nicely into three parts for cleaning with ease and the brush helps you to do a thorough clean. The only downside to this product is the power cable as it doesn't securely fit into the port which takes some getting used to as it slips out while epilating.

The SILK-ÉPIL 5 was adjustment to my regular grooming routine. The hair removal was a nice alternative to my regular waxing and chemical hair removal routine. In my own view, the corded epilator made it easy to epilate my hair in one go without having to recharge. Another plus was the fact that I could clean it under regular water, following the instructions in the booklet -this was is to read by the way. Another wonderful feature was the guiding light to make sure all the little hairs gone for my OCD complexities. I didn't have a need to use the attachment for facial hair, but I am yet to try to meeting my eyebrows as the attachment was small enough to do so.Again I see the light coming in handy here just to get rid of those pesky hairs. All in all I see this as a product that can use for the next two years. The only problem I can see for it, is perhaps the cord been a bit longer for easy manuvering.

First impressions of this product are good...the product is easy to use and instructions easy to follow. I'm pleased I read because it tells you to put the cooling pad into the freezer a couple of hours before use. I began on the first setting as I was nervous about using it but after the initial shock it's a pain you get used to so continued on setting two. Of course you have more sensitive areas on your legs..mine were especially so around the ankles. It has a great little guiding light to show up all of those pesky hairs and although the epilator is great on hairs 2-5mm in length as stated its not good for any shorter but that's easy to rectify by using it the next day to catch any stragglers.I think the pain will lessen in time so I would recommend this product on maybe the next model up as its only for leg hair....only quibble I had is the power cord annoyingly becomes detached regularly.

I received my kit today and me and my husband used the products straight away. I found the silk epil series 5 very easy to use. I pt came with a massaging head, a face head, a body head and a shaving foil head with a guard for your intimate area. It comes with a charging base and lead with a euro plug (adapter needed). I used the massaging head on my legs and I hardly felt a thing. I then took it to the bath with me and used it to do under my arms, which was very pain free, just a little uncomfortable. It has two speeds and a very bright light. I only have a couple of down sides to it: a. The carry pouch could've been better quality, but as it's going to sit on my shelf, I won't need it and b.The face head does not allow to get right down to the skin, so I took it off and used the epilator bare, just had to be careful.All in all I like this product and I would definite recommend to everyone.

On receiving this a bit late due to it being left with a neighbour I was excited to get it home and try it. When i opened up I was disappointed to find it needed a plug adapter as I wasn't aware this would be an issue. I finally found one and got to trying my epilator out.I used the cooling glove which had been in the freezer and i feel this really helped with the epilation. It was very uncomfortable at first as I have not used an epilator before but i have gotten used to the feel of it now and the glove really does help.It gave a very close shave and my legs feel silky. I think it would be improved alot of you were able to use it cordless and in the shower.I have seen people talk about different heads with epil 5s but this only had the one.would have been good also if it could be used on more sensitive areas like the face for the whole package.

I received my Braun silk epil just the day before my holiday, what fantastic timing as I had not shaved whilst waiting for my parcel to arrive. I've never used an epilator before so was a little nervous of the pain level I might incur but thought it will be worth it for silky smooth legs. A massive bonus for me was to be able to use this in the bath so that I could be nicely relaxed. The result: Mmm, certainly not without pain! I did have to grit my teeth and it took several attempts for me to go over the same area to achieve a smooth finish which then made that area feel sore. First impressions are good and I think it will take me a few attempts to use it properly to get the best results.I've bought it on holiday with me and, now I have wifi connection and can post my updates, I will be reporting back to show how I get on. Underarms next! ..... [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
