The shaver head turns the epilator into a fully functional shaver, while the trimmer cap lets you trim hair if you prefer.

I have also used the deep massage pad in the shower but also with body lotion and I feel my skin texture and appearance has greatly improved. Epilating is known for being slightly painful (you are pulling hair right from the root, after all) but the good news is any pain normally decreases each time you epilate. Testers were given the choice to trial the device in either wet and/or dry conditions (if suitable for both), and were provided with all the attachments that come with the device, so they had the option to use it on all or specific areas of the body. SensoSmart™ technology guides your epilation with a red light to ensure the right amount of pressure is applied.All of the epilators for women that are in the Braun range offer an alternative approach to feminine hair removal compared to shaving. Unlike shaving with a razor or an electric shaver for women, an epilator bikini line product is designed to offer longer-lasting results. Although some epilators for women are designed to be used faster than others and some have ease-of-use as their primary feature, they all have a similar operation - providing pain free female hair removal for body and facial hairs. Our epilator for the bikini area strikes the right balance, with Micro-Grip tweezer technology that makes use of 40 tweezers to provide salon-like, smooth skin that will last for weeks, not days as would be the case with shaving, even with one of our superb Lady Shaver products. Unlike some other hair removal methods, epilating does provide long-term results, leaving you hair-free for up to four weeks. It won’t banish hair for good, but it will give you significantly more time in between treatments than shaving would. I typically sit on the edge of my bathtub when I epilate, as I associate grooming treatments with the bathroom. You can sit anywhere that’s comfortable, though: You don’t need to use shaving cream, the Braun is cordless, and the hairs won’t fall to the ground like they do when you shave with a regular razor. The Silk-épil 9 Bikini Epilator for Women is an exceptional product that has been ingeniously designed for a pleasant user experience. For one thing, the epilator for bikini area usage has a wide, pivoting head. This makes it easier for you to operate and, therefore, allows for more efficient hair removal. Most women will sense the Micro-Grip tweezer technology as it removes bikini line hair but because this bikini styler is completely waterproof, it means you can epilate in the bath or the shower making for a less uncomfortable experience all-round.

I have used the exfoliation brush to remove dead skin cells weekly and have been happy with the results. There are a number of ways you can prep skin before epilating. Exfoliating with a scrub will help avoid ingrown hairs and bathing in warm water will help to open up pores –just make sure the water isn't too hot, as this could lead to skin irritation. The tool requires no preparation and creates zero mess. It's an excellent way to get rid of unwanted body hair with minimal pain and long-lasting results. It's also perfect to travel with because it’s less bulky than a can of shaving cream.The new Silk-épil 9 comes with a massage cap to help reduce the sensation of pain, so you can experience an extra gentle epilation.
