This is the best product I have tried for hair removal in a long time. I had purchased an Epilady and used it till its recent demise and never thought anything could replace it. Although it was VERY painful to use, the hair grew back very fine and scarce, the longer you used it, improving the hair texture over time. I then used shavers, cremes, lotions, epil-stop and all were worthless products.

Now that I have the Braun, I am ecstatic with the results, it is much quicker and virtually painless compared to the original Epilady. I highly recommend to women who do not want to become a slave to daily razor shaving!

It was difficult to get used to at first. But after a while your skin gets used to it and it doesn't hurt at all. Do not let the hair get too long!!!

This is a tip for first timers: grow the hair out, get it waxed at a salon and only start using this when the hair starts growing back. Or shave and only use this as the stubble grows in. Do not let the hair get too long that's when it is uncomfortable. This get's teeny tiny hairs and lasts for as long as waxing -my legs are so smooth and pretty now.

Caution -you can't go back to shaving or you'll get ingrown hairs. Exfoliate regularly, too.

I purchased this product after reading the Amazon reviews about it. I had never used an epilator, and had never waxed anything on my body but my eyebrows (and that was only one time). Still, I have a relatively high pain threshold and my leg hair is fairly fine, so I didn't think the pain would be a problem for me.

I was pretty much right. I'm a little more sensitive in the knee area than the rest of my legs, and I don't really bother with my thighs since my leg hair there is blonde. I have no problem with pain around my bikini line, but it does hurt quite a lot to do my underarms -and it pinches my skin there, too, which is not only quite uncomfortable, but has drawn small amounts of blood. It's fine for my legs, though -the first time I used the product, I didn't use the "beginner's head" that comes with it. I just turned the thing on high and started epilating. It hurt, but it wasn't unbearable (and it has gotten better).

I have had a few ingrown hairs, but I think I can get rid of that problem just by purchasing a loofah and doing some exfoliating in the shower every now and then, so I'm not worried about that.

No, the reason I gave this product 2 stars is that at least for me, the darn thing doesn't actually pluck the hair out by the root most of the time. Oh, it gets much of the hair out by the root (enough for me to feel twinges of minor pain), but it also breaks a lot of hairs off right at the skin. It leaves those hairs too short to pluck with either the epilator or manually with tweezers, and there are too many of them to pluck manually anyway.

The result: my legs constantly feel as though I shaved yesterday -they look smooth (since my hair is light), but they feel stubbly. If I shaved with a razor, I would at least have one day of smooth legs. This way, it's just a constant stubble feeling, and since much of the hair wasn't removed at the root, I certainly can't go for weeks between use of the product as some reviewers can.

...I prefer this to shaving since my skin is softer now, and since my fiance doesn't really care if my legs are silky-smooth. But really, I think I could get much better results if I waxed or used a chemical product like Nair.

Honest reviews on Braun SE3170 Silk-épil 3 SoftPerfection Epilator

I've been using this for a few months now. I purchased it because I have light skin but dark, coarse, quick growing hair so my legs look and feel stubbly 12 hours after I shave them. I tried creams but they were a mess and home waxing took forever and forced me to wait a long time between sessions so that all the hairs were long enough to pull out.

This is easy to use like an electric razor,and works on much shorter hair than home waxing so no monster legs. I had been shaving before the first use, so had dense hair growth and the first couple uses hurt a bit. After that its not painful because hair growth is thinner for each use. I'd recommend waxing once before the first use if you're worried about it hurting.

It doesn't get legs perfectly hair free like shaving, very short or very fine hair is left behind, I had this with waxing as well so was not disappointed. My legs in a week still look and feel better than they used to a day after shaving. If its important to me, I run a razor over what's left and then have super smooth legs for days. I've only felt the need to do this twice for special occasions. Usually I use it every two weeks, but sometimes once a week if I want smoother legs. I often let it go for 2 weeks because the hair is so fine and soft that I don't have scratchy legs to bug me or my husband. ;) Would have given 5 stars if legs were perfectly hairless after use, or if I could go a month between uses.

If this broke or was lost, I'd purchase another one immediatly.

Disclaimer: I owned and used one of the original Epilady epilators for years. When that died, I turned to waxing. I have a pretty high pain tolerance when it comes to hair removal. If you do not have a good pain tolerance, don't read furtherthis review won't help you make a decision!

Pros: price, less pain than waxing, little to no redness or bumps, hair-free legs for weeks!

Cons: took a few runs to get all the hairs at first, not cord-free.

At $49.99, this beats both self-waxing and salon waxing after a couple of uses. As the price of razors continues to go up, the 3170 is a one-time investment that to me is worth the money.

For me, using this is very painless[see disclaimer above] and better yet, it does not leave behind the redness and bumps I used to experience with my old Epilady and with waxing. I did had to use it a few times at first to actually pull out the hairs when they reached the optimal length, and not just cut them off. I do wish it came in a cordless versionalthough the cord is pretty long.

A few tips to make the experience better: I ALWAYS exfoliate my legs and make sure they are clean before using the epilator. I stop and clean the epilator every so often to keep it running optimally. I also use Bikini Zone on my legs and bikini line after epilation to keep from getting ingrown hairs.

My sister also owns this same model and has had hers for 6 monthsshe says it works as good as the day she bought itencouraging when you read about other brands that break after a few uses.
