Braun Silk-épil 3 3-270, Epilator for Women for Long-Lasting Hair Removal, 20 Tweezer System, Smartlight Technology, Massage Rollers, Shaver and Trimmer Head Included

I have read both good and bad reviews about this product, but in my experience, it has been very good. I had been looking for a way to save time in my personal care routine, especially for my underarms, and this machine has been very helpful. It does not hurt me, it is easy to use, and the hair takes longer to grow back. It also has several functions: it epilates and shaves, which I love. For me, it has been a very good purchase, and I hope it continues working this well for a long time.

I should've tried an epilator long ago. Now it's much easier and quicker to remove hair mostly my armpits. It takes me 2 minutes max for both pits and I no longer feel pain. It grabs to every hair. Now I do it every 2 weeks, and the hair grows more slowly and not as coarse each time. I also use it on my upper lip area. As for legs, I am still trying to get used to the pain. It also requires more time since the surface area is bigger. I highly recommend this product.

A few years ago I quit shaving and started waxing. Waxing works well, but it's painful, incredibly messy, and time consuming. And I spend about $10 a month on wax. Now enter this little guy... Overall I'm a big fan and I recommend it. I'll lay out the bad, then the good, then some hopefully helpful tips. The not so great: 1- I'm not going to lie, this hurts like a MFer. I thought I'd be fine because I'm used to the pain of waxing, but I was not prepared for this! It's like waxing but you have to keep on and keep on going over the same area in all different directions. 2- You will have red, bumpy skin for several hours after you're done, but then it'll be fine. 3- You don't get as smooth skin as you do from shaving or waxing, but it's close. These really are the only downsides. Now for the good: 1- It works. It actually works. Yes, you have to go over the skin multiple times and often at multiple angles, but if you do, you'll get relatively smooth legs, or whatever. 2- It's a one-time pretty low cost and then you're done! No more monthly recurring costs. 3- There's no mess! It's glorious. 4- as long as you do it once a week or so, it's pretty quick and easy. I do this once a week, sometimes once ever 1.5 weeks, and I'm done with my (long) legs in 15 minutes. 5- works great on underarms, bikini area, face, and even feet. I'm sure it would on arms too though I haven't tried it. My recommendations: 1- wax or get your legs waxed first, wait a week or two, and THEN do this for the first time. Trust me on this one. I waited too long after waxing the first time I used it. It took me over an hour and I wanted to cry. 2- wash and exfoliate the skin first. This will reduce ingrown hairs and irritation. 3- do this frequently enough that the hair isn't long or thick. This DRASTICALLY reduces the pain and time it takes. I do it every 7-10 days. It takes about 15 minutes and is completely manageable. So that's it. Overall I highly recommend this. I have no plans to ever use anything else!

I had wanted an epilator for years, but I was honestly terrified to try it. I finally decided to give this super affordable one a chance, and it has genuinely been a game changer! here is my completely honest experience: yes, it does hurt at first! but your skin adapts remarkably fast. on my first leg, the pain was only there at the very beginning, and after a short moment, I couldn't feel a thing! making the second leg so much easier. underarms were amazingly quick, taking less than two minutes each. I will say, the bikini area was quite intense and ended up being the most painful part. it took me two separate sessions to complete, but the results were entirely worth it. the hair is growing back noticeably finer than it ever did with professional waxing!!! a few practical tips if you're thinking of trying it: exfoliate your skin daily for a few days leading up to your session & take a warm shower right before using it to open your pores and soften the skin! the only tiny drawback is that the machine is a bit noisy

i have to say that i didn't at all hate using this epilator. as someone who was just trying to get something for cheap, just to have something that worked ok to see how i liked using an epilator, this was perfectly alright. it breaks hairs at a significant rate, and it takes a couple passes to get everything, but it does successfully pluck a slight majority of the hairs in my experience. it also did that without being nearly as abrasive on the skin as the other epilator i've tried at the same price point as this, which i feel is extremely valuable in a budget epilator, and i feel that this model is a great entry point if you're not so sure about things. HOWEVER. there are some substantial downsides that i want to bring up. the fact that it takes a few passes to get the hairs means that it can take a long time to get things sufficiently epilated in comparison to more efficient epilators. like, i shave my arms and legs with the epilator, which can take me upwards of around 2 hours at times, and given that the epilator breaks a decent amount of the hairs, your hair will start to grow back sort of quickly. although the growth will be much thinner than if you just shaved, it's still something to note. additionally, in my use, i found it not quite delicate enough for use in places with sensitive skin, like the bikini area. additionally, mine didn't last super long. this is definitely partially my fault, i often left the epilator plugged in when not in use, which probably slightly increased the wear on the cable and the power jack over time, but i'm really not sure how significant that is to the speed of deterioration. in 7 months, the connection between the cable and the jack in my unit has started to get pretty finnicky, which has made using it a bit more frustrating, and at the end of the day, that is the consequence of design decisions. at some point, the design must take in to account the way that the model is actually used by its users, so i feel that the use of a more resilient power cable/jack is a reasonable thing to expect, to a reasonable extent at least. and all that said, it's also not *that* cheap! i do think the price is sort of reasonable, given the high price of other models and the fact that it's one of the few braun epilators that can be used while plugged in which could be a selling point for people. but given that you could spend 50% more for the silk epil 5, which can only be used wirelessly, but likely performs slightly better and has a significantly more resilient power cable that will be put under less stress over its lifetime, it becomes just a little bit harder to justify the shortcomings of the silk epil 3. that being said, if the $20 is a meaningful price decrease for you, you don't need to use this in water or away from a power outlet, and you're willing to put up with its weaknesses (and maybe if you're able to maintain the power connector!) this does have a reason to exist. i'm not wholly unhappy with my purchase, but i do wish the product could be improved so that it may be a bit more justifiable at its price.

Better than shaving or waxing for sure. I have thick hair that grows back super fast. I also have sensitive skin that is irritated by shaving. This lasts a good two weeks. It takes about 20 minutes per leg, lower leg only. Only a couple minutes for underarms. This one is better than the Panasonic in my opinion, it gets hairs faster. yes it's painful but bearable for me. For ingrown hairs you have to heavily exfoliate the day before and a few days after (I use a korean towel), it's the same as shaving. I like using it dry bc I can watch TV and I wouldn't want to do it 40 min in the shower. The trimmer is also a really nice addition. It does pull a little because it's dry only.

I have been using epilators for about 20 years. When I read the reviews saying this was painful, it seemed like the comments were coming from first-time users who had never used an epilator before. Switching to an epilator is painful in the beginning, but as people said, after a few uses, you get used to it and over time it is much less painful. So, I bought this when my last epilator gave up the ghost. Well, it was incredibly painful and ineffective to boot. It caused irritation to my underarms, which I did first. That can happen sometimes - the skin is more sensitive, so I thought I would power through those and the legs would go better. The legs were not much better, to be honest! The epilator was really painful and didn't pull my hair as efficiently as my previous one. It took three times as long and left too much behind. I didn't even go near the bikini line out of fear for what this would do to my skin. I also suspect that many hairs weren't pulled, just broken off close to the skin, so we'll see if I'm right over the next couple of weeks. The irritation to my underarms lasted a few days. Anytime I had that in the past, usually it would clear up overnight or within 24 hours. My notes on the model: I would suggest to add more tweezers (my last epilator was a Phillips and had seemingly double or triple the number of tweezers in the roller). My other suggestion would be to drop the massage bar/pointy things. Both in the bar itself and in the rollers. They were unnecessarily sharp and really made this whole experience much more painful. I have a very high tolerance for pain and again, I have been using epilators for 20+ years. I know what to expect and this was just awful. The rollers and pointy stuff also made it much more difficult to move the epilator around in various directions. I basically felt like I could only go in a straight line, whereas with my previous machine, I could move it around in different directions. This is especially helpful over the calves, for example, where hairs grow in different directions on different parts of the calf. Anyway, I was very disappointed and have returned the machine. The pain people report shouldn't be that bad! Take it from someone who knows.

I love this tool!! I’m brand new to epilating, but not hair removal from the root. My main method of hair removal for most of my life has been waxing. I’m a hairy woman with course, thick hair. I dislike the 5 o’clock shadow of shaving, so I’ve only used it periodically and in case of emergencies. I’ve also used threading (the most painful method), at home laser, and shaving in emergencies (but my least favorite hair removal method). I’m brand new to epilating but thankfully have thinned out my hair from consistent waxing. I will compare the pros and cons of epilating to waxing. Keep in mind, today is my second day of using the machine. -yesterday I used the machine for my chin hairs and sideburns. It was sensitive, not painful. About equal discomfort as waxing, less than individual testing (because of the built-in massage?). I was nervous because of the negative reviews, so I went slow. It went well, no skin irritation. Since yesterday went well, I fired up the epilator at the high speed this evening and went nuts! Here’s what I’ve gathered this far: Pros: 1. Time saver Today, I completed both of my legs (thigh and calf), my forearms, my cheeks, and upper lip… ALL in about an hour!!! This is significantly less time than waxing (which I’ve been practicing for the last 15 years)! Remember you save time in the prepping & cleaning up after waxing either (I.e. warm the wax, wait for the right temp, showering & cleaning the residue of the body and workspace). 2. Mess-free! I did this while watching TV on the couch. Sure, there’s probably a bunch of hair in my living room, but it’s probably minimal compared to how much my two dogs shed. It’s also better on my hardwood floors than it is In the shower Drain (as with shaving). 10x better than the wax residue all over the place! 3. Cheap!!. I spent 1.5 times as much I’d spend on a bag of wax. During the summer months, I typically go through a bag in a couple of months . If this machine lasts me 3 months I’d get my moneys worth (not insulting the cost of the wax warmer, sticks, etc.) 4. Works on shorter hair (1/8”) than waxing (1/4”), so it’s better for exposed areas. Con: -this model us not battery operated! I was under that impression, but that part just looks like false advertising Honestly, I really like this method a lot so I will probably get a battery operated version so I can use this while sitting in the the car! Hopefully I don’t get toO many ingrown hairs. I prepped my skin by exfoliating in the shower before starting my legs. I can update my review after several treatments. Overall a very positive experience and you can’t go wrong for $35! I was ready to drop the thousands of dollars for professional laser…. I’m making this my new go to method!

Muy buen producto, el tamaño es cómodo, tiene buena calidad y el precio es realmente accesible. Ayer lo usé por primera vez, duele, sí, duele bastantito si no estas acostumbrada pero después de un rato lo toleras, supongo con el tiempo y uso, se hace menos doloroso. Me tardé como hora o hora y media, igual y porque sentía dolor y paraba, pero también debes pasar 2 o 3 para eliminarlos todos pero sí arranca hasta los más pequeñitos o enterrados. Espero el vello me tarde mucho en salir. El envío fue rápido, yo compré el Viernes 15 de marzo y estaba destinado a llegar hasta el 26 de Marzo, pero llegó el 20, eso me agradó mucho. Todo en su caja y sellado.

After trying a lot of different hair removal methods, I've come to really love epilation. It lasts longer, so you don't have to do it every couple days, and it's less painful and definitely less expensive than other long-term hair removal solutions. The device: Works great right out of the box. If you've never used an epilator before, you might be surprised by how loud it is, but it's no louder than any other similar device. I like that it's small and compact, so it's easy to store, use, and even travel with if you plan on going somewhere for an extended time. The only drawback is that the device must be plugged in to use, but the cord is nice and long and honestly, I prefer plug-in devices as opposed to ones that die halfway through using because they need to be charged, or that eat batteries. If you're new to epilation, definitely give this a try, as it delivers results in a compact, easy to use unit. It works on hair that is significantly shorter than you need to have when waxing, so you really only need to have 3-4 days of regrowth (after shaving) for it to be effective, as opposed to the weeks you might need to wait to get the length required for other methods. Epilation: Because you're plucking hairs out from the root, and multiple ones at a time, it's not going to be painless. I found when I started, the first use was the worst, as the hair is going to be the thickest and it's going to be pulling out the most at once. For me, the feeling is somewhere between a tattoo and a razor burn, so not excruciating, but not comfortable either. As you use it over the hair's natural growth cycle (different hairs will grow at different rates), you're pulling out less at a time, so it becomes significantly less painful after the first use. Unlike razors and waxing, epilators only take out the hair, so you're not taking the top layer of skin, too. I found it to be significantly less painful than waxing (especially when you chicken out and can't pull the strip off as quickly as you're supposed to), and as someone who is prone to razor burn, I can say that the brief discomfort of the epilator is preferable to experiencing burning skin from razor burn for days at a time., and I experience far fewer ingrown hairs than I did with shaving.

Wouldn't really write a review for a product but this one is amazing. Going from a cheap knockoff brand that ripped my skin out and left a huge scar I was deterred from epilators. I was getting frustrated over shaving my light hair so on a whim tried this one out from a friend recommendation. It does everything so well, works on underarms and legs and arms amazing. Couldn't recommend this product enough.
