Braun SE7280 Silk-Epil Xpressive Epilator Body System, Corded

5 Reviews

1. I was looking for a men’s electric razor and I thought I should write a review on this product. I don’t use it, but my wife raves about this everytime she uses it. She said in the beginning, there is a bit of pain, but once you get use to it, its the best. It removes hair completely and she has stopped using wax products. This is ideal for under arms and legs. I owned Braun products and they have always been flawless. I think a very good product should receive a review.

2. If you are a regular waxer, then this is just for you! You will wonder why it took so long to discover this!!! (If you’re not a regular waxer, then the threshold of slight pain/discomfort may make you rethink this purchase…) But nevertheless, I am THRILLED about this. Years ago – maybe 20? – when electric epilators 1st came out, my mother bought one. And god was it awful!!! And that’s what stuck with me all these years. Then I came across the electric epilators again, so I decided to check out what Amazon had and read the various reviews for the different kinds available. When all was said and done, I figured that just bikini waxing alone was around $25 each time. So if I used this on JUST my bikini area 3 times, it will have paid for itself. So I bought it. I liked this one because it had a pivoting head much like my razor AND it was corded (not a rechargeable battery).

   Suffice it to say, with just 1 use, this little thing has already paid for itself as I used it on my legs, arms, arm pits (this caused the most discomfort, but it only lasted for a minute or so in the beginning. Then it was tolerable…) and bikini area. If I had gone to a salon to have had all of this done, I would have paid close to $100 anyway in 1 shot. And here I am on day #4 and no noticeable/visible stubble anywhere. And I am especially impressed that the area that caused me the most initial discomfort (arm pits) is the one I am most pleased about! My pits are still soooooo smooth! I am very happy! )

3. I used to have a Silk Epil epilator about 10 years ago and it hurt SO much that I never used anymore. I used to wax, but waxing got “dirty” every time, with all the wax falling around etc.. and you cannot wax more than every 3 weeks since hair is not long enough.

   However when I visited my sister in law over the summer, she gave me her Silk Epil Xpressive! No comparison with the Silk Epil I had 10 years ago. It hurts a bit, it is true, but this is a pain much similar, if not less than the one of waxing and this epilator can remove even the smallest hair!

   I liked it so much that I just bought one for myself!!

   It also exsits in a rechargeable version which is much better according to me just because you can use it anywhere and dont need to stay near a power outlet!

4. I have been searching for something like this product so I don’t have to wax, pluck or shave my chin and upper lip. It does a great job and is hassle free. It hurts a little at first but it is so worth it. Easy to travel. Worth the money!

5. I have waxed for a couple of years. Then I got the Philips Bliss Bikini with Epilator for my bikini area. Since that epilator wasn’t too bad, I thought I would try a full size one for my legs and underarms. After reading the many reviews, I settled on this model and couldn’t be happier. I was spending about $60 waxing my lower legs and underarms at the spa each time. Inevitably, my underarms grew faster than my leg hair so I was faced with going to the spa just to get my underarms done or waiting until my legs were ready to get waxed too. Now I no longer have that dilemma.

   Pros: The light is fantastic! It really does create the right glow to catch your hairs. I would definitely get the corded version as it takes around a half hour to do both legs and you don’t have to worry about running out of juice. You get the same results as waxing, but save the money the long run, and you don’t have to take the time to work around the spa’s schedule – you can do it when it works for you. Cleaning is easy.

   Cons: It’s a little difficult to maneuver under the armpits. Since the armpit hairs grow in several directions, there is one small patch under my arms that I find it difficult to reach with the large head of the epilator. I often catch that little area with the Philips Bliss.

   Not specific to this product, but a couple of notes about epilating. You will get little red dots all over your legs (same is true for waxing) that take several hours to go away so do your epilating at night. Also, like waxing, it can hurt, but your legs/underarms do become desensitized over time as you do it.
