Philips Beauty Satinelle Essential Compact Hair Removal Epilator for Women, BRE235/04 (Corded Use Only)

I'm really glad I ordered this. Used it this weekend, on my underarms and legs - it worked very well and got the job done quickly. Note: as others warned, there was some discomfort, but I found it to be easily tolerated. However, I'm someone who's used wax strips and tweezers over the years, so am probably more used to the sensation of plucking hairs. So, I found this device to feel like a very mild stinging that quickly passed. My skin did not seem irritated once the quick pass of the device was over. Someone who's new to epilation (tweezing) will probably need to get used to the sensation, but for me this device worked wonderfully. Tip: it definitely helps to use your free hand to pull the skin taut as you use this (or when you use tweezers). I wish I'd bought this years ago, it made quick work of the job and was not messy. Good product as long as you can tolerate some brief, minor discomfort (which will likely become less as you get accustomed to it).

I have wasted so much money on trying to wax my body hair. I haven’t found a wax that works just as good as the waxing experience at the salon. I have bought wax strips, wax you can melt in the microwave, wax heater, everything and anything, I’ve tried. And I’ve bought so many razors but couldn’t get smooth skin. I needed something new.However, I promise you, this little gadget works RIGHT AWAY. It sounds like a mini chainsaw and feels so much worse. As many other reviews have said, you have to thug it out. You probably will cry your first and second time. BUT it is worth it!!!!!!!! My skin has not been this smooth outside of waxing. And it’s taking more time to grow back.1000/10 would recommend.

This WORKS. Beauty is pain, ALOT of pain. Jokes aside I use this on my legs and it keeps the hairs away for like a week or so. Hair does grow back but some grow back slower or just not at all anymore. Be mindful you may get ingrowns if you don't properly exfoliate your skin. It holds up pretty well and is easy to use if you can stand the initial pain. Hurts the most on my lower to mid leg and doesn't really hurt much when I get to my knee and above. Thats just me however. If you think you can stand the pain then this is a good budget epilator.

Does a great job! Before and after photos for reference. Yes, it does hurt, but I found doing sections makes it manageable. Product was easy to use, and while it was loud it wasn’t worse than a hair dryer. It got most of the hairs after a few swipes, and I cleaned up any remaining missed ones with tweezers. This was my first time epilating and I have very dark, thick, coarse hair so (as you can see) I did have a few spots where the hair shaft getting pulled out left some broken skin. I’m hoping with continued use the hair will grow back finer so that doesn’t happen as much. Will edit to add a picture after a few months of usage if I remember!

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.

Works amazing at pulling hair straight from roots even when hair is short. Leaves skin irritatated for a couple days (which is expected especially after plucking all the hair out) but after a couple days skin is super smooth and soft. Takes about 4 weeks for new hair to grow in. Hurts alot the first use but after hair starts to grow back in thiner it starts hurting less and less.

Pros: it does work, cheaper than waxing or laser. Left skin soft and smooth.Cons: loud, not cordless, it is not painless bearable yes, but not painless, it’s not a one swipe. Because hair grows in multiple directions you have to swipe in multiple directions. There isn’t anything to catch the hair, it just goes everywhere. Mine didn’t come with a pouch as advertised. Shaving would be easier, it not a fast process.It does the job. I’ll keep because I used it and because who wants to shave every other day in the summer. Would I buy it again mehhhh I could take it or leave it
