A Gentle Approach to Epilation
Silk-epil SoftPerfection takes a gentle approach to hair removal. It features a unique, four-way moving pain softener to ease you into epilation. Two active massage rollers with tiny nodes stimulate the skin before and after the hair is removed to minimize the pulling sensation. The Silk-epil's SoftLift system gives you extra-close epilation and can pluck out hairs as short as 0.5 millimeters, for long-lasting smoothness. And although it is a great way to get those legs gorgeously smooth, it comes with additional attachments for underarm and bikini -- your most sensitive areas.

Ergonomically Designed for Better Control
The Softperfection is ergonomically designed to fit comfortably in your hand, allowing better control and maneuverability. Two speeds give you the choice between slow or quick epilation. The 20-tweezer epilator head has an EfficiencyPro Clip that covers a large area of skin in one stroke, for fast epilation that lasts. This lightweight device comes encased in an attractive soft pink case with grips for easy handling. A cleaning brush comes included for quick, easy maintenance. It also includes an AC adapter and nylon mesh storage pouch.

Hate shaving? Get an epilator!!
I've had this epilator for a few years now. I've been using it off and on during those few years. Let me first describe my situation. I have PCOS. One of the side effects of PCOS is excess hair. In other words, I'm one of those gals who could shave in the morning and have a 5 o'clock shadow by, well, 5 o'clock. The reason why I decided to buy an epilator and stop shaving is because my skin is sensitive and my legs would become irritated from having to shave daily. Not to mention that you could see the hair underneath my skin. I figured that the epilator would work well since it pulls the hair from the root.

Now let's discuss first time use. In terms of pain, yes, it hurts. But it's true that the more you use it, the less it hurts. When you first epilate, be sure to grow your hair out for a week or more. Longer hair will hurt more to remove but hair grows in different stages so if the hair is too short, you'll be disappointed when more hair grows in the next day. Be sure to pull your skin tight so the tweezers can grab the hair more easily.

Personally, I can go about a week without having to epilate. Sometimes I need to touch up certain areas but it doesn't take more than 5 minutes in the morning. And like I mentioned above, the tweezers pull hair out from the root so you can't see the hair below the skin. Another bonus is that I've noticed the hair on my legs thinning and growing much slower even when I don't use the epilator.

The reason for the 4 stars is because you absolutely must exfoliate daily or you will get ingrown hairs. I don't know why my legs act this way but even when I exfoliate, my legs begin to tingle after a few days as the hair tries to poke through the skin. I've tried many different exfoliating products and lotions but it still happens. And because of this, I can't epilate for a few days because my skin hurts. It's tough to keep epilating when I have this problem so I switch between shaving and epilating every month or so.

I wouldn't recommend this product to everyone. If you have excess hair or you need to shave daily, I'd recommend it. If you consider hair removal to be an everyday problem, I'd recommend it. If, however, you have little to no hair, you don't have to shave everyday, and you have no tolerance for pain, I'd stick to shaving.

Good product
I really like this epilator. It did hurt more than I expected the first time I used it, but I was very impressed with the results. Very smooth legs, much smoother than with a razor. I will definitely continue to use this product

Bring Back the Old Model
I like the older model of the Braun Silk epil. I don't like the new style head of this model. It is more painful to use.
