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. 🍸

I wont lie to you, this sucker hurts, especially on areas of more sensitive skin. However, it works like a charm and I am OBSESSED with it.Listen, I'm a girl who suffers from PCOS and excessive body hair. I am also a professional cosmetologist and I have access to various high quality and professional hair removal methods. Hear me out:I hate shaving because it causes ingrown hairs and makes my facial hair grow back darker and thicker and much more obvious. I have used DOZENS of different shaving methods an still have this issue.Having someone else wax my face is expensive, especially for someone like me who genuinely needs it on a 10-14 day cycle.I can, and do wax myself at home, but hard wax or soft wax, it is very time consuming, messy, and expensive to buy the products needed as frequently as I need to use them. I am not over exaggerating; I grow a TON of hair ridiculously fast.Of course, tweezing each individual hair is even more time consuming and I have reached a point in my life in which trying to keep up with my own hair growth just to feel female is completely overwhelming.I decided to give this epilator a try and I am HOOKED. It is such an easy, simple, mess-free and speedy way to remove my facial and body hair without killing my bank account!It pulls the hairs right out like a wax, providing a longer-lasting hairlessness than shaving. It's like a ton of electric tweezers all moving together to grab multiple hairs at once. It even cleans the peach fuzz!I can't lie, it's not painless. I always hate waxing my upper lip because it hurts like the dickens and this was much worse in terms of pain, especially because you can feel it snagging each individual hair instead of one quick rip like wax. I am so desperate for the hair to be gone in a more manageable way though, and it is so 100% worth it for me to endure a few minutes of discomfort so that I can enjoy multiple days of smoothness.This might not be everyone's cup of tea, especially with so many more modern forms of hair removal today, but I seriously couldn't be happier with the results. No woman should have a beard like man, haha!

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?!?!

I love this so much, I’m considering buying another one just in case they ever discontinue it. Before this, I used the cordless Braun Silk Epil epilators but both of them crapped out because the batteries eventually died and I couldn’t even get through a single underarm. So I know I wanted a corded version and this was pretty much the only option. Not only does it solve the battery issue, I was shocked to learn that it was so so much more effective than the Brain one, especially on the underarms. The Braun one didn’t spin as quickly so it hurt a lot more. This one is incredibly fast and it barely hurts!It didn’t come with a bunch of fancy attachments like the Brauns did but TBH, I never used those anyway.Please don’t ever discontinue this corded version!

Lemme get real with y'all real quick. I was looking for a new sunless tanner last week .. the balancing act of not wanting to spend a fortune and not wanting to share the POTUS's trademark orange hue. I may have found it, I don't know yet, but while I was on this journey I was obviously reading the reviews and this one girl went into great detail about her routine, for which I felt extremely thankful. She mentioned she "uses her epilator" a few days prior... and me, being 40 % neanderthal, was like, "excuse me, what?" So here I go, down the rabbit hole of epilators... And I was reading words that I loved! Better than waxing? Gentle? Use every four weeks? Eliminates razor burn? I thought, "what modern marvel of machinery is this?!" And you know what, I found one.. good price, good reviews.. I thought, yep... 'Bout to change my life. Came in the mail, I just couldn't wait.Y'all. No. My whole legs are nothing BUT razor burn. The pain is worse than a tattoo, except instead of a pretty picture when I am done, it is just the resemblance of chicken legs in the meat section of Walmart, except way more red. You ever get waxed and thought... I want that to work 70% less efficiently, so I can do it over and over again to eventually MAYBE get similar results? Because. That's what an epilator offers you. And I swear, after my skin settles if I don't have the prettiest baby smooth legs for the next 4 weeks I am sending this thing back to the hell from which it came and leaving every bit of this in my review. Ain't NO WAY all those "so gentle, works great" reviews aren't about as real as my future deep tan will be... Completely fake and paid for...Update: because I am a glutton for pain and I was unhappy with half of the hair being left behind after using the first time- I have now used this twice on my legs. Went ahead and I'd the armpits yesterday too, my legs feel slightly better. Still angry. Not smooth at all. I went so slowly, and there is a ton of hair left.Do not buy this thing unless you really want to punish yourself.

I have very sensitive skin and waxing always leaves me with ingrown hair and skin irritation. Shaving has all its own problems. I decided to try this epilator and it works great on my legs and armpits. It's easy to use and gets all the hair. I thought it would be much more painful but it's not bad at all, more a prickling feeling. Definitely not as painful as wax. Exfoliating before and after helps. I think I have the right type of hair for it, fine and thin so it doesn't hurt much being plucked. But yeah works great just as described.

I previously had bought a cheap 5 in 1 razor that had an epilator head and was getting frustrated because it would take me over an hour and multiple days to get even halfway down with ONE lower leg. I decided I needed to upgrade to a better one and of course, Philips is a brand I trust.This bad boy, right off the bat, works so damn well. The massage cap is brilliant. I did my lower leg in about 4 minutes. Which astounded me. My legs are the softest they’ve ever been. I would buy 10 more of these if needed to. I love this epilator. This is your sign to buy this one. Do it.

HURTS OMG THE PAIN I THOUGHT I WOULD PASS OUT.Idc if you have thin hair short hair thick long hair it WILL hurt! I gave up too many times I just could not do it. It's like it was torturing me for information and I wanted to give it up but I just didn't know what it was. I sound like an abused chihuahua hahaha but oh my goodness this took me 10 hours to do and regret not shaving. I eventually went to Walmart and bought veet wax strips which hurt significantly less. I ripped hairs out in chunks and because my hair is thick, I had alot of strays and epilated those. I will try to maintain now. Keep in mind some hairs are so stubborn the epilator will just keep pulling the same hair over and painfully over. Have tweezers ready for the stubborn ones

Cumple su función.

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

Yo ya tenía una diferente pero pedí esta. Tiene solo una velocidad por lo que es bastante doloroso que vaya tan rápido, la otra tenía dos velocidades que lo hacía menos doloroso pero esta no como hacerle. No recomiendo si eres sensible.

Excelente me gustó mucho
