I have previously used an epilator and remember how painful it was so I was a little worried trying this one. First time I tried the Braun wet and dry epilator I used it wet in the bath. It was easy to use and left my skin feeling so smooth! I did have red blotches on my legs as it was the first time I used it but by the morning they had disappeared. I love that it comes with a 3 in 1 trimmer, exfoliation brushes, hygiene caps as well as a little pouch to keep it all together. The Braun epilator has easy instructions and charges in no time! Pay the extra money for this epilator I highly reccomend it!

I was quite sceptical thinking about this epilator- because why it’s described as something special. But... At the beginning I tried with very short hair- it was so surprising- all 1-2 millimetres hair has gone! The light is very helpful- you can exactly see your hair to remove and hair already removed- with roots. It much less painful as the others epilators. I love exfoliation brushes- I can feel my skin is smoother. So... love it and I’m recommend this product.

I'm pretty into the swing of epilating, but I must say this is a game changer. I went for the cheapest product available to ease myself in and test the water, which was fine to start, but having stuck to this form of hair removal it's great to have a quality product. I think the exfoliating heads are a great idea as ingrown hairs notoriously go with epilating and this has definitely minimised these. The trimmer is handy and I love the fact it all fits in a bag so you can easily take it away with you if required. The charge lasts a little while and this is super helpful so you don't have to carry that if you're travelling or if you need to quickly pick this up before you run out the door. The only downside to this product is the light is on the side, which I found isn't ideal when you're trying to do the backs of your legs. None the less, it's a great product and I swear it wasn't as painful. I'm not sure this can be credited to the product, but the flexible head did seem to help. I tend to stick with the standard head, but it's good to see a range of options and there is something for every area in the box. I'll definitely be sticking to this one and recycling my cheaper epilator.

I will say honestly that before the first use of Braun silk-epil 9 I was terrified. The depilator I used earlier caused pain during the procedure. After depilation I always had red pustules. This time it was different. I recommend to all women who value accuracy and delicacy. Epilation is pure pleasure. From now I can take care of my legs while lying in a bathtub with warm water. Shaver is ideal for intimate places. However, the most wonderful part of this set are massage tips. The skin after them is smooth and elastic. In my opinion, this epilator is a great device. I will not exchange it for another model.

Recently I had an opportunity to try out Braun Silk-épil 9 SkinSpa. Previously I was using series 7 and I have to admit that series 9 is well worth buying. It has extra wide epilation head that is very effective. However it is more effective when used on dry legs than in bath. I have tried this epilator in bath and it was a bit dissapointing. Wet hair stick to the skin and epilator could not catch them all, although epilation in bath is less painful. The big advantage of series 9 SkinSpa is a big choice of accessories which you get with this epilator. The set contain: epilator with 3 different caps, shaver head, brush adapter, 2 brushes and trimmer. After a full charge epilator works for 50 minutes. This is enough to shave legs up to the knees but if you want to shave whole legs, you would have to recharge the device, what is a bit annoying as you have to wait for 2 hours. If it comes to the brushes- you have choice of 2- one is the exfoliation brush and the other one is the deep massage pad. To be honest I can felt no difference between them, but both are pleasant to use. If it comes to the shaver head it is doing a good job. It has 1 additional comb that let you trim hair. The trimmer is small, good quality and it has 2 combs. The huge advantage of Braun Silk-épil 9 SkinSpa is that you have 3 devices in 1 plus a compact designed trimmer. It will not take much space. The set contains many pieces. It is nice that Braun provides a wee pouch that can hold everything what you will get with this set. In conclusion, Braun Silk-épil 9 SkinSpa epilator is a very good device in a good price. I would recommend it to enyone.

As someone who has been using epilators for many years now, I can confidently say I know what I require from an epilator and the Braun Silk-épil 9 9/980 Wet&Dry epilator is it! Epilating is of course never an entirely pleasant experience but the latest Braun Silk-epil does its best to improve this experience for us all. The extensive additional features for this epilator means that everything you could require for hair removal is all in one perfectly packaged product. I particularly liked the deep exfoliation brush and massage cap, but most of all I was thrilled to find it included the 3 in 1 trimmer and combs! This is such a handy additional feature and frankly i'm not sure why my previous epilators didn't include this, it seems essential now! The facial cap is also a particular highlight, allowing for closer precision hair removal whilst still feeling safe and secure to use on the more sensitive parts of your body such as your face. Overall this epilator along with all the useful additions that come with it is really the ideal hair removal package and I am very pleased with it - especially as it can be used wet and dry, what's not to love! I highly recommend this to anyone looking for an epilator that will do the job not only quickly, but efficiently too!

At first I was sceptical, as I have used products of this kind before, and have gotten low quality results, but this product honestly surprised me. It was much more precise than the ones I've used before, and it left a stunningly smooth result. Unlike every-day razors, it didn't leave any marks on my skin, and few days after the use my legs are still super smooth! It can be used both in a shower and out of it, which is a huge plus! The charging time compared to usage time is practically nothing, it's simply a great product! The interchangeable ends are a lifesaver, and they are so easy to change and use, plus it's very easy to clean. Overall, every aspect of the Braun Silk-épil 9 SkinSpa Epilator is of the highest quality, and I would highly recommend it to everybody.

I have been using epilators for over 10 years now and I have not found one yet that is pain free - including this one! However the more you use the less the pain. When you open the box you will find lots of parts and attachments for this epilator and that can be a little confusing. BUT inside the front cover of the user guide is a really helpful diagram which pictures all the attachments and shows what they should be used for. The epilator itself does have a good wide head which means you can cover more area of your body with each run. It even has a fairly bright light on it which helps to spot those hairs. Personally I have found the epilator removes more hair when I don't use any of the caps and you can't hurt yourself with it because as soon as you press to hard onto your skin the light turns red until you release the pressure. It's cordless and can be used in the shower, bonus you can just rinse the epilator under the tap when you've finished. I love the exfoliating brushes and I use them a lot. The bikini trimmer is much like any other but it works very well. You even get a couple of drawstring bags to store everything in. As I said earlier, I have used epilators for years - this one is by far the best I've tried.

This epilator is definitely a head turner. I used to epilate but because of problems the epilator caused to my skin, I turned back to shaving. However, due to the sheer intricacy and attention to detail that has been put into this product, I was intrigued to give it a try, and it definitely has not disappointed!! The epilator came packaged beautifully in a compact, neatly designed little box. This epilator is cordless and has attachments for everything that you could possibly need, and(!) can be used either wet or dry. Its a light device which makes it easy to use and handle, however, be careful when using it wet as it can get a little slippery. The epilator itself has a useful little light so you can clearly see what you are doing and if you have missed any bits, the epilator lifts the shortest of hairs leaving you with silky smooth skin and no need to go back over and over making sure you got it all. The bikini trimmer attachments are small enough and appropriate for the intimate areas again, making sure nothing has been missed. This epilator has attachments to just about cover everything but these are the main ones I have used so far and I have definitely been converted back from shaving. The product charges quickly which is really useful if you have forgot to charge it in advance, so you havent got to hang around in order to use. The only obvious down side to this product is the price, however, if epilating is something your interested in, its definitely worth the investment! Very happy with this epilator.

I think the Braun silk epil 9 is the best product out there for keeping me hair free. It is precise and can be used on shorter hairs then if you were waxing your legs. It is cordless and with the added benefit of being able to be used in water so great to use in the shower. It has a light sensor so that you know you are applying the right amount of pressure and comes with every attachment you would ever need as well as a deep or gentle exfoliation brush. I am in love with this product and my hair free body that is very easily maintained!!!
