Philips Satinelle Essential Epilator: Gently Remove Unwanted Hair for Smooth Skin.

Bee: I bought this as a replacement for my other unit that had cracked (because I dropped it). Have been using this method of hair removal for years. The first removal hurts so bad, the second one hurts too. The pain diminishes overtime. It doesn’t even hurt at all anymore. Suggested first removal should take place after you have waited 10 days from a fresh shave. I usually do a good solid hair removal Once a week, occasional maintenance is sometimes required in between. Your best bet, is to go with your body‘s natural 10 day growth cycle from the beginning and stick to it.
Tips: - make sure your armpits are clean, free of deodorant, or debris, and wipe with rubbing alcohol prior to use to prevent infection.
- make sure the skin is pulled tight before you put the unit against your flesh.
- switch directions often to account for hair growth patterns. Slow circular motions tend to work best.
- use the brush provided after each hair removal session to clean it. I spray mine with clipper cleaner lightly after each use.

Toratell: It hurts like crazy if you have a ton of really dark coarse hair. The only way I can use it is if I wax my legs first then use it on the few hairs that grow back instead of all at one go.

Bishoy Gerges: Compact, lightweight and working very quick and easy, it remove the hair from the roots effectively, easy to clean and good material quality, good value for money.
Tried several products before more expensive with less results.

It has not two pillows. It has just one: It is the best epilator

Xander: I expected pain with an epilator, tho not THIS much. However, it works VERY well. That pain is because it's pulling out every hair it can grab, leaving anywhere you epilate absolutely hairless.

Jen: So I have never used a product like this before. I have waxed, creamed, and shaved for years.
I have very pale skin and very dark course hair-I joke that my brothers shave their face at least once sometimes twice a day due to “5 o’clock shadow” and I have the same issue on my legs. It has now been almost 2 weeks and my hair feels now what it usually feels like the evening after shaving.

I am very impressed but I have to say it is painful. I’m hoping as I get use to it it will be better but the first use was interesting and my daughter kept saying beauty is pain. Lol

Amazon Customer: okay this hurts like a mother i’ll say, comparable to getting a tattoo, maybe slightly worse because you’re doing it yourself? but it totally works!! so i’ll be using it, if you’re never gotten a tattoo it feels like bees stinging you and slight burning. it’s tolerable though

Kay D Johnson: I bought this to replace my old Phillips which I had used for over 16 yrs.
Although this one isn't any quieter, it's lighter in weight which is nice.
Doesn't work as well as the old model but still works great ... and sure beat shaving my legs every 3 days.

Claudia Campo MirabentClaudia Campo Mirabent: I was a little worried about buying this because the price is so much lower than other epilators, and I thought it would be of not such a good quality. However, after I used it, I am more than satisfied. Everything I read about epilators online and in these comments/reviews is true. It does hurt, it is uncomfortable, and you do get red dots on your skin after you use it. However, it is also true that if you read the instructions provided with the epilator carefully before using it, everything will be fine. I used it on my underarms and my legs, and both are smooth. My underarms hurt a little more than my legs, but nothing an average person cannot handle. I had a damp washcloth with me, and I pressed it lightly against my skin after I was done using the epilator to reduce pain and inflammation. It worked like a charm.

If you are scared to somehow mess it up and hurt yourself, I would first recommend read the instructions carefully and follow them. Secondly, below I describe exactly what I did, step by step, so that you may know what worked for me. Also, I have attached a picture of my underarm the morning after I had used the epilator.
1) Plan to shower at night, as it...
