 An honest review from a very thick, course, and bushy haired lady who has a beard (no, really). September 3, 2010
Priscells, Purse, P'crazy, P, Pri, etc.
PREFACE:
Alright, so lets get a couple of things straight:
1. When I say my hair is thick, course, and bushy I'm talking thicker, more course, and more bushy than some parts of my husbands body hair. Granted, yes, no matter how hairy I am it does not change the fact that there is a small amount of estrogene and progesterone floating around my blood, thus hindering some of the bushy thickness from growing to the likes of my husbands in particular areas (I'll just spare you the details and list em here: legs, face, & belly), however, when I tell you I have never in my life known a woman hairier than myself and I am not being dramatic (why would I want to be?!), please believe it!
2. I have PCOS (Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome). That means a couple of things: 2a) It means that I grow excessive amounts of body hair than the average female, 2b) The hair I grow grows back thickly and quickly.
3. Yes, I DO HAVE A BEARD. Is it like my husbands? No, not at all. Is it as dramatic as it sounds? No, not at all. But do I grow extremely course hair underneath my chin and along my upper lip? Yes, I do. Is it hard on me? Yes, it is. Do I feel ugly and gross because of it? No, I don't! I embrace my feminine 5 o'clock shadow and realize that life is wayyyyy too short to give a heck about whether or not my chin is hairless. Also, I've had it since I was 13 and I'm 24-11 years of living with hormone imbalance, its all just added bonuses of my life at this point. And, I'm a BIG believer in hair removal products however they come (except depilatory creams [i'd be a hairy lady-man any day of the week than put that poison on my face ever again] and electrolysis [really, I'd rather spend $2,000 on a trip to Europe or a down payment for a Vespa...hair is just hair, but life, well, it's a whole heck of a lot more than hair on my chiny chin chin thats for darn sure]).
Moving Forward:
Since I never give reviews and covet any reviews on body hair removal products I want each of you who read this to keep in mind that:
a) you're probably nowhere near as hairy as someone such as myself.
b) if you are looking for an epilator just for basic hair removal, TRUST ME I'm SURE many if not ALL will work for you.
c) hair removal that involves pulling hair from the root of your body HURTS (go back to the days when plucking your eyebrows was new and/or you haven't done it in a while-stings right??)
MY BRIEF HAIR REMOVAL HISTORY
Shaving: HATE IT! I NEVER SHAVE! When I was an insecure Jr. High girl I STILL DIDN'T SHAVE my legs or armpits because of the pain involved. I would cave once in a while and shave to "feel prettier" (so I thought at the time) and every time I would feel regret because of the extremely painful ingrowns, rashes, cuts, etc. (and yes, this all takes place with brand new razors each shave, expensive razors, loads of shaving cream, not pressing hard, etc. etc. etc.)
Waxing: I've waxed my face most of my post pubescent life. Waxing in painless for me, I'm an expert at it. It doesn't cause ingrowns, it doesn't cause rashing, it doesn't cut me (when I was younger I would burn my face from heating wax too much, but haven't done it in years) and it is easy. I don't mind growing my hair out to wait for a wax.
Plucking: Handy dandy plucking is so great! Having those tweezers on hand to help maintain the beastly growth as it was awaiting its next waxing appt. (in my bathroom, by myself, of course) has spared me for years on those insecure days when I just felt like the world knew my hairy secret and couldn't even wait another day for it to grow back in order to wax.
HONEST TRUTH:
Did it get the hairs?
Having waited an entire month to remove any excess body hair (I was getting ready to send my money back if it wasn't doing what it allegedly promised) my hair was long and it was ready to be removed. I placed this little wonder underneath my chin and within 60 seconds ALL of the extra hairs were GONE! Just a quick stroke of this terror and they were gone, finito, hasta la vista baby!
Now, for those of us with PCOS (In my case, its severe) we know that the hair under our chins isn't peach fuzz-its along the lines of a whiskery texture and when it is waxed more than likely you will also have to pluck to remove the many that just refuse to come out. Well, this Braun terror did not even need me to pluck (ok, I plucked 1 hair because it was in the crease of my neck and my Braun baby was having a hard time with it-but that hair was peach fuzzy anyway, so no biggy). After I finished my chin I went to my upper lip and BAM! all gone!
My feminine 5 o'clock shadow was no more within maybe 90 seconds. And when I tell you it was as (AND STILL IS AFTER 1 WEEK) smooth as a baby's butt-believe it!
Some hairs have started growing back (I expected this, I'm a PCOSr, not a typical fuzzy lady) but they are so few that even I am amazed...and I've been waxing for YEARS-nothing has kept those ferocious hairs from growing back this slowly in all my hair removing days (since I was 14 baby!)
Did it hurt?
It feels like waxing but the pain lasts less, its over more quickly and is much easier. Don't be a wuss! IT IS NOT THAT BAD and I'm hairier than probably 99% of you.
When I was epilating my thighs I stopped for a few seconds to gather my breath because it was stinging a lot. But that hair was so long that I knew I just needed to get rid of it first and it would be fine next time.
What parts did I epilate? and on a scale from 1 to 10 (1 being pain free and 10 being my nightmare of shaving) how was the pain?
Face-2 (seriously, easy as pie)
Bikini Line-4 (be careful here, pull your skin extra tight because its easy to get it "caught" in the epilator. It doesn't hurt when its caught, it stings a bit then burns afterward because the skin has been cut.
Upper thighs-7 (i had to stop and breathe at a couple points)
My lady V (aka vagina)-4 (it stings but thats expected, and the benefit of hair gone in 60 seconds? yes please!)
My lady lump in the back (aka butt [including inside crack] <---hey, i'm just being honest)-3
OVERALL RATING:
5 stars! This miracle in an electronic rotating tweezer package is what makes my hairy life easy in the long run-and I'm thankful!
Now I have more of a reason to NEVER shave again.
 Loving it! September 1, 2010

Received my Braun epilator a couple of weeks ago and had the chance to use it a couple of times on my legs, under arms, and bikini line. Although I have to do many passes to finally get all the hair, it beats shaving, and setting up my wax warmer! When used on my legs it does take my breathe away at first, but I did get use to it. Underarms and bikini line were easy-peasy since I'm a regular waxer I'm sure. Over all, I'm really pleased with it! :o)
Long-time Braun User Chimes in! August 30, 2010
Upstate (NY)
I'm getting ready to buy this product, as my current Braun is wearing out. It still works, but I notice the heads slip a bit. It's worth it to get a replacement and I like the new features Braun has come up with.
I am hoping my experience with Braun helps new customers.
I've been using an epilator (one model or another) for about twenty years. I've always had thick leg and underarm hair and wanted so badly to get away from shaving. The earlier epilators did hurt, but were effective enough. Then I found Braun, clearly the superior brand.
My results are nothing short of amazing, with Braun. I have NO MORE HAIR on my legs. No more hair under my arms. Those areas have been hair-free and smooth as a baby's butt for years. The hair has just stopped growing. When I look at my skin I can't even see where the hair follicles used to be; my skin looks poreless. I've been hair-free on my legs for about fifteen years. Underarms, about three years (I just quit shaving that area about four years ago). All I have left to worry about is a few straggler hairs around and on my knee-caps (stubborn hair areas), and I zip over them with my Braun about once a month, if even that. Maybe ten hairs on each knee. Slowly those hairs are going away and what's left are very thin and almost transparent. For me this is a real miracle.
I started doing my entire bikini area last year. This is the most stubborn hair of all and will take time to permanently remove. So far so good, it's slowly thinning out. I figure a few more years and that area will be nice and permanently bare and baby-soft, too.
I get a few ingrowns in the bikini area, sometimes. Very few. I just take care of them with tweezers.
I know everyone's skin and hair is different. But I was pretty hairy and I'd say my skin is normal when it comes to sensitivity. All I can say is that Braun works for me. As for pain: sure, it hurts at first. You're pulling out a lot of hair when you first start. I got used to it, and now I feel a slight tugging, and that's all. And no, continual use over the years did NOT deaden my nerve endings. Trust me on that!
You have to decide how permanently hair-free you really want to be. As far as I'm concerned, epilation is the smartest beauty process I ever did for myself, and if you're going to do it you may as well buy the best to do it with.

I was looking for a men's electric razor and I thought I should write a review on this product. I don't use it, but my wife raves about this everytime she uses it. She said in the beginning, there is a bit of pain, but once you get use to it, its the best. It removes hair completely and she has stopped using wax products. This is ideal for under arms and legs. I owned Braun products and they have always been flawless. I think a very good product should receive a review.
L-O-V-E it! July 27, 2010

If you are a regular waxer, then this is just for you! You will wonder why it took so long to discover this!!! (If you're not a regular waxer, then the threshold of slight pain/discomfort may make you rethink this purchase...) But nevertheless, I am THRILLED about this. Years ago - maybe 20? - when electric epilators 1st came out, my mother bought one. And god was it awful!!! And that's what stuck with me all these years. Then I came across the electric epilators again, so I decided to check out what Amazon had and read the various reviews for the different kinds available. When all was said and done, I figured that just bikini waxing alone was around $25 each time. So if I used this on JUST my bikini area 3 times, it will have paid for itself. So I bought it. I liked this one because it had a pivoting head much like my razor AND it was corded (not a rechargeable battery).
Suffice it to say, with just 1 use, this little thing has already paid for itself as I used it on my legs, arms, arm pits (this caused the most discomfort, but it only lasted for a minute or so in the beginning. Then it was tolerable...) and bikini area. If I had gone to a salon to have had all of this done, I would have paid close to $100 anyway in 1 shot. And here I am on day #4 and no noticeable/visible stubble anywhere. And I am especially impressed that the area that caused me the most initial discomfort (arm pits) is the one I am most pleased about! My pits are still soooooo smooth! I am very happy! :o)
