Panasonic ES2045P Wet/Dry Two-Speed Epilator with Three Heads (Pink)

5 Reviews

1. I read the reviews and thought wow! what a great product. Well, it’s cute. I love pink! I did the overnight charge and then I tried the epilator portion (dry). It was painful since I have never done this and it only removed about 30% of the hair on my legs. I went very slowly. It didn’t heat up like I thought it might since I had it on for 30 minutes. I actually did not buy this item for this feature. I need an electric razor since my doctors don’t want me using an old fashion razor. They are afraid I will break skin and delay my treatments. I picked this one over the Braun based on price. Unfortunaltey, when I used the razor protion I nicked my underarm. The bikini blade sits higher than the foil so you can only go in one direction since there is only the one foil. Even when the bikinin portion is locked down the blades move. The moving action caused my minor injury. I am safer with the old fashion razor blaze. Until I can find a pink Braun I will use my husband’s since it never nicks and has a double foil. It also gives a much closer shave than this one. I am disappoonted becasue it seemed like it would be such a great product.

2. It has been about 8 weeks since I’ve seen my esthetician and places on my body have started resembling Sasquatch more than I would like. But, I have been lamenting the fact I throw down $90 each time I need some maintenance. In the interest of frugality, I have attempted waxing myself – certain areas are okay to do on own’s one (lip, chin, brow)while others are best left to professionals – namely bikini. Now, I must admit that it plainly says on the instruction booklet not to use on facial area or bikini area, but…I typically don’t follow instructions and am certain to some day suffer some random accident. But I digress.

   I hemmed and hawed at Target over whether to buy the Panasonic Epilator or the Remington model. What I liked about the Panisonic model is that it also included a shaver as well – which I figured if I chickened out and couldn’t handle the epilator part I could still use the shaver. I brought my new toy home and plugged it in. You are instructed to let it charge for 20 hours prior to use.

   This morning I giddily got up and took a quick shower. I toweled off and sat down on the bathroom floor and tried epilating my nether regions. Hmmm. The epilator tugged at my hairs more than anything and made my skin red. Undeterred, I logged onto Amazon and looked at other reviews of the product where other users told how they used the epilator in the shower – with shower gel. I sat down and actually read the booklet and headed back up to my shower. I lathered my bikini area up and went to town with the epilator. The suds made it alot easier for the epilator to glide across my skin. I will not lie: it was no picnic in the park and it still hurt. But I was able to do a majority of my bikini area. Then I discovered the wonder of the shaver attachment and the pop up shaver. Yay! I buzzed away the remainder of the hair I was too chicken to epilate.

   I also used the epilator on my chin and lip. While a little painful – like little pinpricks – it was alot less painful than waxing and didn’t leave my skin red. I have to say that I tried to use the epilator on my armpit and I don’t think I will try that again. I guess my armpits are more sensitive than my nether regions for whatever reason. So, I would say this was a successful purchase for me. The only reason I didn’t try my legs this morning was because I ran out of hot water in my shower.

3. So the first time is definitely the most painful, and it gets easier after that. but i found that the hair doesnt stay gone for long. my legs seemed to be in a constant state of “spikey” even though i tried to use it at any sign of hair. it also has a small head, so even if it did work perfectly, you dont remove much hair at once. it tends to take a long long time to get every area. i’ve only tried it in the shower once, so maybe it works better wet than dry. but overall, i wasnt too pleased with this product. i might try to return/exchange it for a different epilator. the only way i can get my legs smooth for longer than a day is to epilate, then shave. but i think that defeats the purpose…

   but i suppose everyone has different hair textures and growth patterns, so what didnt work for me might just work for you. i have pretty sensitive legs and hair that grows back with the slightest chill in the air. so that could be it too.

   hope this helped!

4. I got a small panasonic epilator that works pretty good but since its really small and it runs on battery, I often find myself looking for batteries at the wrong time of the day…..and it takes a helluva long time to finish since its so small. I decided to buy this because I needed something rechargeable, big enough to do the job faster, and works in the shower so I dont have to clean up the mess afterwards…..I tried it today and the bikini trimmer worked perfect….the epilator? Excellent!!!

5. I bought this product not too long ago. I loved it until the battery wore out and I am not sure what to do about that. I don’t want to have to buy a new epilator. Other than that I am pleased with this epilator. If anyone has any suggestions of what to do about my battery let me know!
