Philips Beauty Satinelle Essential Compact Hair Removal Epilator for Women, BRE235/04 (Corded Use Only)

I want to preface this by saying that I am a hairier than average female due to PCOS issues. My body hair can be thick and dark and grows very quickly. I’ve been shaving since I was 9 years old and always got razor burn and irritation and the shave never lasted long. I did so much research on hair removal and as I grew older I tried different methods but faced the same issues. Granted I’ve never tried laser because it’s out of my budget. I tried waxing which wasn’t terrible in terms of pain and while it did last me almost 2 weeks, when there was hair I missed that I’d just pluck or shave, it grew back unevenly and shaving over skin that’s barely growing back after waxing was painful and caused more ingrowns. I disliked having the extra expense of purchasing wax beads constantly. Not to mention the MESS that comes with waxing at home when you’re not a professional! Sugaring was probably the best hair removal method I tried because it truly thinned out the hair that came back and took some time, it was sparse and I felt my skin looked great but making the wax out of sugar, Lemon and water everytime from scratch took so much trial and error to get the perfect consistency for my skin needs. Purchasing the ready made sugaring stuff was always a hit or miss. I’m also someone who runs warm so as I’d sugar the hair, the sugar would start to melt into my skin and became unusable regardless of my sitting right in front of the AC! I will admit with any hair removal method I always had terrible irritation so when it grew back I would get painful Ingrown hair despite having skin care and exfoliation routines to combat that so I finally just gave up on hair removal all together and would only shave the hair when necessary like when I’d wear dresses or skirts and especially during the hot months when it’s not really an option to wear pants. For a few years I let most of my body hair run wild and let it be but as I started to enter the dating world of course I wanted to be smooth and wear my more feminine clothes. Overall I wanted to feel more aesthetically feminine so I got back into shaving but the irritation was horrible as expected and I gave up again until I found this! This is my first epilator ever. I read about how painful epilating was and always decided against purchasing one but I’m glad I gave this a chance! Sure it does feel more painful than any hair removal method I’ve personally tried but the lack of ingrowns, skin irritation and burns I have afterwards make this so worth it. This was terrific in terms of price and works fine. I do have to go over skin a few times to make sure I get everything and yes as far as irritation goes I get the little raised bumps for a short time it goes away within hours, but I’ll take that to ingrowns and razor burns and itchiness! My skin feels genuinely smooth and I don’t have the same strawberry legs and pores that shaving gives me! The more you do it the more you get used to the pain. My recommendation is to epilate at least a day before you want to bare the skin. My only complaint is the power cord comes off quite easily. For folks who have overstimulation issues, this is quite loud. Personally, I use headphones and watch something to take my mind off the pain and noise. Overall, I have nothing but admiration and respect for people who epilate because it can be a doozy! Cheers to smoother skin and a raised pain tolerance. 🍸

I'm really glad I ordered this. Used it this weekend, on my underarms and legs - it worked very well and got the job done quickly. Note: as others warned, there was some discomfort, but I found it to be easily tolerated. However, I'm someone who's used wax strips and tweezers over the years, so am probably more used to the sensation of plucking hairs. So, I found this device to feel like a very mild stinging that quickly passed. My skin did not seem irritated once the quick pass of the device was over. Someone who's new to epilation (tweezing) will probably need to get used to the sensation, but for me this device worked wonderfully. Tip: it definitely helps to use your free hand to pull the skin taut as you use this (or when you use tweezers). I wish I'd bought this years ago, it made quick work of the job and was not messy. Good product as long as you can tolerate some brief, minor discomfort (which will likely become less as you get accustomed to it).

Not too bad! It hurts a lot but once you get used to it, it’s not that bad. I DO NOT recommend under the arms though. SUPER painful. It does struggle to get little hairs like upper leg, which is annoying since they don’t grow that long but works perfectly on lower leg. Definitely exfoliate every time you shower, and moisturize to avoid ingrown hairs. I wish it was cordless because it unplugs a lot which sucks and I have to be near an outlet…

So small yet powerful! Mine finally died and had to purchase a new one - I love this! Works fast and is less "uncomfortable" than my previous epilator. I prefer to plug mine in, and the cord is plenty long; I prefer this rather than changing batteries or having to charge batteries. The price is amazing and am very happy with my purchase.

So this was my first time ever using an epilater, which I wanted to try since I like the results of waxing, but I wanted a more eco-friendly alternative plus I end up tweezing my legs a lot anyway. As expected, it hurt like hell. I have tattoos and I can definitely equate the pain to getting tatted. My armpit was a hard pass, props to those who can handle that level of pain. The first use takes the longest since you're epilating from scratch essentially. I would not recommend using this on long hair, definitely trim the area first. However the second use was a lot faster and less painful since it was just upkeeping at that point. It took a fraction of the time I would spend waxing. I would also recommend a soothing oil for afterwards since your follicles may be inflamed. Very satisfied and happy to stop buying waxing strips every other week. Worth a try if you can handle the pain.

This is the first epilator I’ve ever used in my life. I’m so excited my skin feels ‘shaved’ smooth. It pulls out 99% of the hairs. You may have to backtrack, but that’s normal I think. There is some pain depending on where you’re epilating. Yes it is quite loud and can be intimidating the first time. I like the twirling massaging strip. This has so many tweezers and works like a champ. I have learned so much about epilator‘s trying to find the right one for me and this was hands-down the winner. It’s easy to hold and the cord is long enough. I’m so very happy with this PHILIPS. A cute little tank of an epilator.

Rápido y facil para remover el bello de raíz, duele un poco al principio pero después te acostumbras y no sientes molestias.

Un gros 5 étoiles !!!! Très satisfaite de mon achat!! On s'entend que c'est un épilateur. C'est certain que la première utilisation c'est douloureux. Genre assez douloureux parce que ça enleve les poils tsé! Mais après pfff c'est un pet. Ça enleve directement à la racine. Tu vois les racines de chaque poils 😉 Ça blesse pas du tout. Quand ça l'arrive à la peau où il n'y a plus de poils ça glisse. Aucune irritation par la suite. C'est merveilleux. Les jambes sont fait, les aisselles, le bikini. Je vous rappelle que la première épilation fait mal. Mais ça vaut le coût. Même résultat qu'en salon et tellement moins dispendieux. Sans hésitation j'effectuerais l'achat à nouveau et je le conseillerais à mes amis (es).

Es súper intuitiva y funciona de maravilla
