Product Description

Manufacturer's Description

Make sure you’re free to have fun with the new Braun Silk-épil Xpressive Wet & Dry

Braun presents the new Braun Silk-épil Xpressive Wet & Dry – Braun’s first epilator which can be used in water to provide their gentlest epilation yet! The new-generation epilator gives you smooth, soft and seriously beautiful skin for up to four weeks, with no need to wait for re-growth, giving you confidence that you look and feel your best whenever, wherever you want to.

Recommended by leading beauty magazines!

Several magazines have tried and tested the Wet & Dry: a recent edition of Grazia recommended it as an instant body fix for the summer, saying: “Braun Silk-épil Xpressive Wet & Dry lets you epilate in the shower – which means less pain, ladies! The water helps relax your pores, making hair removal less biting (take it from us, we’ve tried it). The results are equal to waxing, but quicker, cheaper, and frankly more satisfying.

When 200 Company readers were given the chance to try the Braun Xpressive Wet & Dry for a month they leapt at it. And the results were amazing! 9/10 readers agreed that hairs were removed more gently in water. And 8/10 readers said they would now use an epilator rather than waxing!

And if that isn’t enough, Look recommended the Xpressive Wet & Dry in a recent test against 3 other leading brands, giving it five stars and a Look recommendation - here is what they had to say: "You can take this into the shower - a first, hence the price. It gives you a smooth finish, especially when you use it under warm water...It was pain free and easy to use. Plus it reaches hairs that wax can't, so no more in-between days."

Following on from the success of the Braun Silk-épil Xpressive 7681, the UK’s no. 1 best-selling epilator of 2008, Braun has been on a quest to find the gentlest epilation experience possible. The new Braun Silk-épil Xpressive Wet & Dry with its patented HairLift system has been especially developed for epilation in warm water and can remove up to 4 times more short hairs than wax in one stroke (hairs from 0.5 – 2mm).

Because epilating gets hair right at the root, the Braun Wet & Dry gives you smooth skin for up to 4 weeks, for a fraction of the cost of a salon wax! It comes with a fantastic two-year guarantee so you can keep your legs smoother for longer.

In addition to all this, the Braun Wet & Dry gives you Braun’s gentlest epilation ever! Braun conducted independent research, measuring the effect of epilating in water compared to dry epilation. The research showed that the women significantly favoured wet epilation with more than half of them experiencing no pain or very little. Nearly two thirds (63%) also found wet epilation was kinder to the skin, making it suitable for those with sensitive skin or those new to epilating.

Jessica Taylor from the band Liberty X in the bath with the Braun 7781 Epilator Wet & Dry Recommended by celebrities and beauty experts!

Model and singer Jessica Taylor knows all about looking her best at a moment’s notice, which is why she’s the number one fan of the Braun Silk-Épil Xpressive Wet & Dry! “Having a spontaneous attitude to life is really important to me,” says the Dancing on Ice star.

For a long-lasting beauty fix which leaves her skin feeling silky-smooth, Jessica uses the new Braun Wet & Dry. Because it removes up to 4x more short hairs than wax in one stroke (hairs 0.5 – 2mm), it means you don’t have to wait for re-growth and can get rid of those embarrassing in-between days!

Nichola Joss, celebrity beauty & skin care expert says ‘The new Braun Silk-epil Xpressive Wet & Dry is my must have solution and what I recommend to all my celebrity clients. It is the first ever one from Braun which can also be used in water so while the warm water soothes and relaxes your skin, the hairs are removed as gently as possible’

Specially designed for use in water

The unique SoftLift Tips can remove even the shortest and flattest of hairs whilst the 40 winglet tweezers remove more hair in a single stroke than any other epilator. And, reflecting the aquatic theme, the new blue switch and SmartLight lense ensures no hairs go unnoticed in the water. The Braun Silk-épil Xpressive Wet & Dry is also rechargeable and cordless with a one way charge system, to keep it completely safe in water. It stays charged for up to 40 minutes which guarantees enough time for beautiful smooth skin.

The Braun Silk-épil Xpressive Wet & Dry has been specifically designed for women to create the most gentle form of epilation ever and with 80% of women who trailed the epilator saying that they would use it again – it’s the must have beauty item of 2009!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great, but don't expect miracles, 3 May 2009
By Katherine (Essex, England) - See all my reviews
I owned a previous model of a Braun epilator and got rid of it as I remembered it to be so painful and not a pastime I thought I'd ever continue. However....I've really had it with hair removal and I've tried the lot. Tired of the mess, stress and money disappearing down the hair-removal drain, I researched into epilating once more and decided, after reading all the great reviews, to give this model a go (annoying now significantly cheaper on Amazon only days after I bought it.) At nearly £100, this was a lot of money for me but, I concluded, was about the cost of four or five waxing appointments without the hassle of waiting for the hair to grow and walking around looking like The Gruffalo.

So, is it any good and how much does it hurt? I epilated my legs first and did them dry. The smart light was very good at showing up the hairs and the epilator removed them very efficiently. I did have to go over areas a few times in different directions to ensure all hairs were caught but it says you have to do that in the instructions and considering hair grows in different directions I would say it's reasonable to have to do that. As for pain, I didn't think it hurt that much at all. It was more an uncomfortable pulling/twanging sensation than pain. My legs did come up with mild red raised spots, but this went down within a couple of hours. Hair-free legs in 15-20 minutes! Result! One thing I would say is that if you're expecting the smoothness you get with shaving you'll be disappointed. The nature of shaving means every hair is taken off at skin level so you're inevitably silky smooth (if only for a day or so.) Epilating plucks hair from the root and does miss teensy-weensy hairs that you can't necessarily see but you can feel when you run your hands up your legs. Anyway, hair-free legs - very pleased indeed! Then I tried my underarms...

Oh. My. Giddy Aunt. I figured I was more hardy having experienced childbirth since my previous epilating days so forgot about all that and gritted my teeth. And I continued to grit my teeth and soon found myself using the breathing techniques they teach you in antenatal classes to now deal with epilating, panting my way through the searing pain as I saw my skin being drawn towards the machine like paper into a shredder. And shredded was exactly how my underarms felt when I finally finished. And finish I did because I was determined I was going to get my money's worth from this machine and epilating was the way forward. Disappointingly it did not remove the hair as well as on my legs. Before I blame the machine, this could've been down to my method not being great as I do remember blurred vision caused by the sweat from my brow as it trickled into my eyes; probably not optimum conditions for effective hair removal. Anyway, I did one underarm then braced myself for the second. Double the fun! At the end my underarms were, what's the word..? Oh yes, raw. I think I may have removed the skin in addition to the hair as it was red, sore and I had actually drawn a tiny bit of blood. I found applying Aloe Vera jelly and later some Savlon really helped and they were fine again after a few hours (though still blotchy the next day.) Results were not as pleasing as with the legs though and I found this quite a disappointment. Felt I deserved totally hair-free underarms after all that at the very least. To be honest I felt I deserved a congratulatory slap on the back and a large glass of wine.

So, after this rambling, what do I think? Firstly, don't expect miracles. I was excited after doing my legs but the underarms were a disappointment. Secondly, how much epilating hurts you will depend on the length of your hair, the sensitivity of your skin and obviously your pain threshold. I'd say epilate at least 24 hours before you intend to expose your bits to allow for any redness to go down. I also haven't tried epilating my underarms in/after a bath, so maybe that'd help with the pain. As for regrowth, I can't comment on that yet, but when I used to get waxed my hair would start growing back after 10 days or so and I expect this'll be the same. Don't be tricked into thinking you'll be hair-free for four weeks - you probably won't be. That said, 10 days is surely better than the measly one or two you get with shaving! Also, it's good you can do in-between-days touch-ups. The hair does come back finer. I'm hoping the underarms will get easier as I get used to it and the hair gets finer. Here's hoping anyway! In the meantime, I'm sure there are some good sedatives out there.

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic epilator, 18 May 2009
By P. Gawley (London, England) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I've been using a Braun epilator for about 12 years, so I am used to the pain. This model had a number of features which made it much much easier to use than the old model. I loved that it is rechargeable, so you can use it easily and quickly anywhere, and the epilating action seems to be more efficient than my old one. Being able to use it in water as well makes it less painful, easier and very convenient - you can quickly "touch up" an area in the shower. I also loved the light - my main problem before was getting enough natural light on my legs to see the hairs, close enough to a power supply - these problems are solved! The massaging head genuinely reduced the pain as well.

All together, a great product and well worth the money when you think about all the areas you can de-hair and what that would cost you in wax.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent, but be prepared for pain!, 31 May 2009
By J. Davies (North West UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This really is an excellent product, but the first time you use it be sure to allow plenty of time, and be prepared for plenty of pain!
Once you've got the initial run over and done with, repeat treatments will of course be pulling far fewer hairs, and I promise will hurt far less too.
I think with hindsight it might have been better to wax first, and then start using this epilator a few days after to catch any missed hairs and then of couse to strip the regrowth. That might have made it much easier.

I've used this in and out of water, and not really noticed much difference to be honest, but the convenience of being able to wash the unit and attachments under water is a definite plus.
If anything, I found it harder to use on wet skin in places (ie under-arms where the skin is not as tight), as it tended to snag the skin more rather than gliding. (I haven't tried using shave/shower gel with it as suggested in the manual, so maybe that would be better.) Fine on wet legs though, but no better/worse than dry to me.

The smartlight is a great addition - even in what I consider reasonably good light, it shows up hairs that I would otherwise have missed.

Overall, I'd highly recommend this, but would suggest lots of short, quick strokes for the first attempt rather than long sweeps, and start with lower legs rather than anywhere more delicate! Keep skin taut while using, move fairly slowly and take your time.

Expect redness too - especially for first use. I looked like I'd been stood knee-deep in red paint for an hour or two after! Having said that, repeat uses have hardly produced any redness at all.
Invest in a good, gentle moisturiser, with as little rubbish in as possible, for using immediately afterwards to soothe (I use Lush's Dream Cream, but a plain unscented cream/lotion with a drop or two of tea tree or lavender oil in would work fine to cool and calm the skin.)
