Philips Epilator Series 2000, Corded Epilator for Legs and Body, Hair Removal Device for Women, Model BRE227/00

I want to preface this by saying that I am a hairier than average female due to PCOS issues. My body hair can be thick and dark and grows very quickly. I’ve been shaving since I was 9 years old and always got razor burn and irritation and the shave never lasted long. I did so much research on hair removal and as I grew older I tried different methods but faced the same issues. Granted I’ve never tried laser because it’s out of my budget. I tried waxing which wasn’t terrible in terms of pain and while it did last me almost 2 weeks, when there was hair I missed that I’d just pluck or shave, it grew back unevenly and shaving over skin that’s barely growing back after waxing was painful and caused more ingrowns. I disliked having the extra expense of purchasing wax beads constantly. Not to mention the MESS that comes with waxing at home when you’re not a professional! Sugaring was probably the best hair removal method I tried because it truly thinned out the hair that came back and took some time, it was sparse and I felt my skin looked great but making the wax out of sugar, Lemon and water everytime from scratch took so much trial and error to get the perfect consistency for my skin needs. Purchasing the ready made sugaring stuff was always a hit or miss. I’m also someone who runs warm so as I’d sugar the hair, the sugar would start to melt into my skin and became unusable regardless of my sitting right in front of the AC! I will admit with any hair removal method I always had terrible irritation so when it grew back I would get painful Ingrown hair despite having skin care and exfoliation routines to combat that so I finally just gave up on hair removal all together and would only shave the hair when necessary like when I’d wear dresses or skirts and especially during the hot months when it’s not really an option to wear pants. For a few years I let most of my body hair run wild and let it be but as I started to enter the dating world of course I wanted to be smooth and wear my more feminine clothes. Overall I wanted to feel more aesthetically feminine so I got back into shaving but the irritation was horrible as expected and I gave up again until I found this! This is my first epilator ever. I read about how painful epilating was and always decided against purchasing one but I’m glad I gave this a chance! Sure it does feel more painful than any hair removal method I’ve personally tried but the lack of ingrowns, skin irritation and burns I have afterwards make this so worth it. This was terrific in terms of price and works fine. I do have to go over skin a few times to make sure I get everything and yes as far as irritation goes I get the little raised bumps for a short time it goes away within hours, but I’ll take that to ingrowns and razor burns and itchiness! My skin feels genuinely smooth and I don’t have the same strawberry legs and pores that shaving gives me! The more you do it the more you get used to the pain. My recommendation is to epilate at least a day before you want to bare the skin. My only complaint is the power cord comes off quite easily. For folks who have overstimulation issues, this is quite loud. Personally, I use headphones and watch something to take my mind off the pain and noise. Overall, I have nothing but admiration and respect for people who epilate because it can be a doozy! Cheers to smoother skin and a raised pain tolerance. 🍸

Llego antes de lo previsto. Es un excelente depilador, cumple con su función. Es un buen sustituto de la rasuradora porque dura más tiempo en salir el vello. Sí duele, dependiendo de la zona del cuerpo duele un poco más o menos, pero recomiendo depilarse cuando el vello es pequeño. Los poros quedan irritados un poco, se llegan a observar incluso zonas enrojecidas que duran 2 o 3 días, pero nada grave. El cabezal si tiene buena cobertura, entonces se depila un tanto rápido, dependiendo de la cantidad de vello. Buen precio para la función.

Excelente producto. Al principio duele pero después de acostumbras. el depilado es rápido

As someone who has tried pretty much any and every method of hair removal under the sun, I think this is the one that I'll be sticking with for good. One of the main complaints I have seen is that it hurts, but I say if you've ever waxed your legs and survived, then trust me, you'll survive an epilator. I personally think that this hurts less than waxing, and that's coming from someone with a low pain tolerance. It's so easy to clean, not that it needs much maintenance at all. It comes with its own little brush to brush out the few hairs that might get stuck in the machine, and the parts are easy to take apart, and not complicated at all to put back together. The only things to complain about this item, are 2 minor things: It is loud. Like, LOUD. The noisiness was the most intimidating part when trying it for the first time. The second would be that the chord could be a little longer, so it doesn't fall/pull off so easily from the machine. This doesn't happen often, but I can see it being bothersome for some. Over all, I have converted into a walking ad for this epilator LOL. Compared to shaving, waxing, threading, Nair, etc, I find this method to be the most affordable, efficient, convenient, least painful, least wasteful, and honestly, the results are also much more long lasting.

Yes, it's quite painful. This will vary based on your pain tolerance, of course, but it's certainly not painless. But it's the smoothest skin you'll ever feel. NO razor burn. NO wax welps. NO skin irritation. NO prickles as soon as you get goose bumps. NO blade nicks or cuts! Goes easily over both sides of the knees without skin damage!! I really wanted this for my inner thighs and bikini area. I can't shave there because of the itching, burning, and irritation I have gotten from trying. The epilator was the answer! I generally get red dots on my skin for 24ish hours after use. But they go away. They don't hurt. They aren't irritated. They are just red dots from the hairs being pulled out. I've used it on my entire legs, my bikini line, my arm pit, and my face. My only complaint is that sometimes it doesn't seem to grab the hair. Especially on my face. Like... I can feel it with my fingers, but the epilator can't pull it out. I don't know if it's too fine, or too short, but that part is pretty annoying. So I do tend to go back over my face with tweezers occasionally, to get those rogue hairs. I notice this on my shins too, but I suspect the hairs just aren't long enough yet. I figure, like waxing,you gotta let them grow out a little. It just annoying, for sure. I'm also annoyed, and frankly surprised, there is no case. There's an aftermarket available you can buy separately, but, just buying this, you have to keep it in the box... which breaks down over time. Even buzzers come with a case... what's up, Phillips?!?!
