help for the 'hair'-ied
Bliss (the celeb-studded spa that's scrubbed, rubbed and waxed its way from Manhattan to W Hotels across the map) and Philips (the electronic grooming guru) had the hair-brained idea to combine body care brilliance and power tool talents to fight unwanted fuzz. The result: an "I can't get to the spa" at-home hair removal kit that pairs a soothing and smoothing spa touch with a sensitive-skin-friendly, super-precise buzz.

Banish bikini line bonsai with the same hair-razing, skin-smoothing savvy that's made bliss the world's most buzzed-about spa. Use this kit to go from hair to bare in three easy steps:

Step 1: Creative coif (or take it off) with the rechargeable, shower-friendly personal trimmer with six attachments.

• Precision Trimmer: Ensures even grooming results. Adjusts to five length settings.
• Precision Comb: Perfectly grooms bikini line with precision and comfort.
• Epilator: Removes hair by the root for smooth skin for weeks.
• Micro Shaver: Extra smooth and safe with hypo-allergenic foil.
• Micro Trimmer: Shapes and defines eyebrows or removes a single hair.
• Eyebrow Comb: Trims entire eyebrow to a uniform length.

Step 2: Pre-empt post-shave gripes with a swipe of bliss' ingrown-hair-eliminating peeling pad.

Step 3: Smooth skin with a try-size tube of bliss' mega-moisturizing lemon+sage body butter.

Wet and Dry Convenience
The bikini perfect can be used both in and out of the shower or bath for convenience. Cleaning it is as simple as rinsing it under water. With a rechargeable battery that lasts up to 35 minutes, you don't have to worry about cords getting in the way. The bikini perfect needs no oil and requires no maintenance, so it'll be at the ready all the time.

The Bliss-Philips bikini perfect deluxe is backed by a 2-year warranty.

Customer Reviews

The Ouch Factor
Years ago, I read a French feminist writer who asked: "Why aren't women allowed to keep their natural body hair, as men are?" Now, after many years of shaving, plucking, using depilatories, etc., I wonder if maybe our (slightly) hairy French sisters know something we don't.

But I digress.

I tried out (with some trepidation) the various attachments on this grooming system yesterday. (I strongly encourage anyone who is using it to CAREFULLY FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE.)

Here's what I found:

--The unit takes almost the full ten hours (stated in the instructions) to charge. Once charged, you have the option of cordless grooming.
--The eyebrow trimmer gives a nice, neat trim. Truthfully, my brows are sort of well-shaped and tame to begin with, but for those with unruly brows, this might be just what's needed for a neater look.
--The micro trimmer does a nice job with that peach-fuzzy stuff between the eyebrows, and can also be used to contour the brows. (Be CAREFUL! It removes EVERY hair it touches.)
--The micro shaver cleanly removes stubble along the bikini line, and it's painless.
--The epilator. Ouch. Ladies, this hurts, period. The instructions say you'll experience "discomfort" that will "lessen with subsequent uses." (I doubt it.)

The ouch factor of the epilator kept me from giving this appliance 5 stars. That, and the fact that though I'm well groomed, I'm not so compulsive about hair-removal that I'd use all the attachments.
For example, I didn't use the precision comb to "style" the bikini line. As in (from the instructions) a "template in a heart-shape." However, for those who are into this kind of personal style, you have the tool you need with this device.

The final item included with this system is Bliss body butter. This smelled good, was non-greasy, and left a smooth finish to the skin.

So that's how it worked for me, ladies. Bikini season is almost here, so if you're looking for a good four-star hair removal system, I think this is it. If you don't mind a considerable ouch factor, then you've got a five-star product.

Many tools, none of them completely outstanding!
Philips has come up with a nice all in one product. It has a precision trimmer head, a micro trimmer, a mini shaver and a mini epilator.

However, I think that the only tool I will use the most is the precision trimmer head which is why the product gets 3 stars for price-value factor. It had a comb like attachment that fits over it and gives you 5 lengths of hair to choose from. However, its hard to actually trim the hair neatly to precisely the same length using the comb attachment. Although the shaver is very ergonomic in shape, it still does a job no better than my older battery operated Panasonic ES246AC Bikini Shaper and Trimmer. I also prefer the convenience of batteries when traveling, as it is small and compact and does not need a charger. The smaller length of the Panasonic trimmer makes it easier for me to control while using it in the bikini area.

I found the micro trimmer for eyebrows to be only moderately useful as I have very light eyebrows and can use a mini-scissor with more precision. I couldn't find the comb attachment for this trimmer in my box and ended up taking off more eyebrow than I wanted to, so read the instructions more carefully.

As for the epilator, it's the older design of epilator that has rotating metal discs that pinch or tweeze out individual hairs by the roots. It's too painful for facial or bikini hair and too tiny to use on your legs and arms as you'll take forever with a lot more pain. My Braun 5270 Silk-épil X'elle Body System Epilator has a different design and is far less painful than this epilator. This one is good for use on a few stray hairs here and there. Again if you're removing facial hair, tweezers will do the job more precisely for 1-2 hairs and facial waxing strips like are far more efficient and painless for any other facial hair removal.

The shaver head did not get all the hair but is ok if you need to get into "tighter" spots. I don't expect to use this attachment too much, when I need a closer shave the precision trimmer without the comb attachment works better for me.

Overall, the Bliss Philips Bikini System has many attachments but if you are basically looking for only a bikini trimmer you may want to spend less and go with Panasonic ES246AC Bikini Shaper and Trimmer or Remington BKT-1000 Trim & Shape Bikini Trimmer.

Good at trimming, not shaving
Every woman I know wants an easier way to keep her bikini area trimmed and/or shaved. When I saw the new Bikini Perfect Deluxe by Bliss-Philips, I had to give it a try.

I am very pleased with the fact that this device is cordless and rechargeable. The first charge takes some time to complete, so don't expect to use this the same day or night that you bring it home. You'll need to let it charge uninterrupted for at least ten hours, according to the directions, but no more than 24 hours.

Once charged, I settled down to use my Grooming System. I had hoped that perhaps the eyebrow attachment would be handy for shaping my eyebrows, so I could forgo continued plucking via tweezers. Alas, that was not to be. While the unit does boast an eyebrow attachment, it apparently is for trimming eyebrows, not for shaping them.

No problem, my main purpose for wanting this device was for the bikini area, so that was disappointing, but not a deal breaker for me.

Then I began to do a little landscaping in the bikini area. The trimmer attachments are great - they work very well to clip the hair at an even length, with little risk of accidentally cutting oneself (although I still advise caution when using in sensitive areas). This is something I've always used a pair of small hair-cutting scissors for, which is a much scarier procedure since it is hard to see that area when trimming oneself. To have a device that measures a distance from the skin as it cuts is very reassuring.

Next I attached the micro shaver and began to shave the areas that need shaving. This is where I am majorly disappointed. Although my hair is soft and fine, the micro shaver did not handle shaving well at all. I finally gave up, determining that simply shaving manually with a razor is much easier than using the micro shaver for the Bikini Perfect Deluxe system.

I will continue to use this gadget for trimming, but not for shaving. Do I recommend it? Difficult question. If all you want out of this device is to trim, then you may want it. If, however, you were relying on it for actual shaving of the pubic area, you will want to pass this one over.
