PHILIPSEpilator Series 8000, Wet & Dry, 3-in-1 with Shaver & Trimmer Attachments for Women, 8 Accessories Included, BRE720/14

I’ve been epilating for years. My last three have been the emjoi with 72 tweezers, so two rollers of tweezers. I couldnt find it again to purchase when my last one broke and started looking at others and reviews. When it comes to the pain of epilation that is very subjective! It still stings some but I don’t find it painful anymore. I’ve just got used to it over time. It’s definitely better when the hair is shorter. Maybe 1/8 of a inch or a little more and make sure you’ve had a hot shower. It opens the pores up more. Plus put some kind of powder (baby powder) on the area you’re epilating. It makes the skin smoother for the epilater to glide on and it can show the hairs a little more. Anyway, I decided to try this phillips and I love it. I’ve only used it once so I’m not sure about the life of it. The emjoi only lasted a year to year and a half before it started messing up. But I love that it is cordless! It made the process better for me to maneuver when doing the bikini area and I do a full brazilian.I liked having just the one roller of tweezers. It made getting in there more effective and faster actually versus that bigger emjoi.I liked that it is lightweight and feels good in your hand. Something I was apprehensive about buying a cordless model was the battery strength and longevity. But it lasted through my brazilian and under my arms without losing any power. It was consistent throughout. Like I said , I’ve only used it once so only time will tell. I’ll update in a few months. I also liked that you can rinse the head off under water. I dont like epilating in the shower though. It’s a smoother process with powder. Also, when you take your hot shower beforehand, don’t forget to exfoliate. It helps. I also like to use “FUR” oil for ingrown hair right afterwards and everyday to prevent ingrowns, at least for the bikini area. Keeping the skin hydrated and supple allows the hair to push through better.

i recently started shaving again and have quickly remembered how annoying it is lol. i love feeling smooth but my hair grows so fast that i'm stubbly again by the next day which drives me crazy. i've tried waxing at home, but it's such a messy and tedious process. i finally decided to give one of these a try and i'm so glad i did!this thing means business!! i'm totally sold on it. i may just have a slightly higher pain tolerance than average, but i really don't find it to be that painful. i think the people in other reviews saying it hurts so bad that they need to get tipsy to use it (or can't use it at all) must have an incredibly low tolerance to pain. it definitely hurts a bit more than waxing, so if you can barely handle getting waxed then i wouldn't recommend this, but if you have no problem with waxing i don't think you would find this to be that much worse. it's so much easier and simpler than waxing at home, and the results last just as long. it's really easy to get the hang of it when you follow the instructions (move it slowly and against the grain of hair growth, and keep it upright, roughly at a 75 degree angle).i was a little nervous to use it on the armpits since the skin there is more sensitive than the skin on the legs, but it honestly wasn't bad at all for me! one thing i will say, though, is that it is VERY painful using it on the face / upper lip area lol. there's no sugarcoating that part, i knew it was gonna be bad but i could barely get through it. i will say that the little precision guide you can attach to it makes it a lot easier to target that area so you can get it over with quickly.another thing to note, as mentioned in some other reviews, is that the device just spits the hairs out instead of collecting them. i'd definitely recommend using it in the shower so you can rinse the hairs down the drain, or at least be prepared to have to sweep all the hairs up off the floor when you're done (or don't, you do you).all in all, if you've never tried one of these and you can handle the pain/discomfort level of waxing just fine, i recommend it for sure! i don't think i'll be going back to shaving or waxing anytime soon (^:

I have very course hair on my legs that I have to shave daily. Love this razor for closeness of shave on dry skin only. Although this may be used in or out of shower as stated, the only close shave I got was dry shave.I’ve tried other brands at even a higher cost, even grew the hair out a bit to judge accurately and this one wins for dry shave. I would give 5 stars if I was able to use this in the shower.
