Philips HP6408/02 Satinelle Soft Epilator vs. Braun Silk-épil Xelle 5170
Philips Satinelle Soft HP6408/03 Massaging Epilator - Pink

Philips HP6408/02 Satinelle Soft Epilator vs. Braun Silk-épil Xelle 5170, 3 May 2009
This review is from: Philips Satinelle Soft HP6408/03 Massaging Epilator - Pink (Personal Care)
Philips Satinelle Soft HP6408/03 Massaging Epilator - Pink
No stranger to epilation, I bought this after my old Philips epilator sadly broke after five years and I needed to find a decent replacement. At first I tried the Braun Silk-épil Xelle 5170 out of curiosity, to see if technology had improved since my first purchase. With 40-tweezer technology, apparently it had, and my legs were left impressively smooth for a long time after. But used on my underarms, the Braun was a nightmare - so painful and vicious that I ended up bleeding and unable to use deoderant for a week.
So that got returned for a refund and I switched allegiance back to Philips! While the HP6408/03 does not catch every small hair on your legs as the Braun did, the metal tweezers make for more comfortable use on underarms and bikini line; definitely less aggressive and softer action. I did consider opting for a Philips model with the newer ceramic tweezers which promised 'more efficiency', but didn't want a repeat of the Braun mistake... The efficiency cap helps cover area on your legs well, and the one for underarms/bikini line is also useful, as the cap with the massage bar would otherwise get in the way.
Overall this product is reliable, quite comfortable and does the job it's supposed to at a very good price!

Epilator, 27 April 2009
This review is from: Philips Satinelle Soft HP6408/03 Massaging Epilator - Pink (Personal Care)
This product is wonderful, I used an epilator a few years ago, and it was agony, but this epilator is fairly pain free. Normally I cannot wax or epilate my underarms as it is so painfull, but it is not too bad with this epilator, and it lasts ,usually only do every 10 days. Normally I wax my legs, but this is a lot quicker and less messy.It has covers you can use for delicate areas, and two speeds. I would highly recommend and my friends have all tried it and agree,and have now got their own. The heads wash easily too. Very good value, not too expensive.

Excellent!!, 7 Sep 2009
This review is from: Philips Satinelle Soft HP6408/03 Massaging Epilator - Pink (Personal Care)
Absolutely fantastic product! I bought this as I was fed up with waxing as it hurt way too much and I was having panic attacks everytime I was due to have my fortnightly waxing session.
I must admit I was a little frightened as I'd heard so many horror stories about epilating, however I need'nt have been as its relatively painless!! for one, it did'nt remove the top layer of my skin as waxing did and it just did'nt hurt! It's best done just after a bath or shower as your pores are more open.
On turning it on for the first time I was absolutely petrified as it was very noisy and it took me about five minutes to pluck up the courage to actually use it, but on doing so I was so surprised and relieved to say the least!! I would recommend this product to anyone as the results are fantastic and long lasting!!!

I'm an Epilating Convert Now, 18 July 2009
This review is from: Philips Satinelle Soft HP6408/03 Massaging Epilator - Pink (Personal Care)
I love this epilator and will never go back to shaving or waxing. The only problem is, I keep looking for new things to epilate and my husband and cats are looking nervous.

really good product, shame it's not portable, 15 July 2009
This review is from: Philips Satinelle Soft HP6408/03 Massaging Epilator - Pink (Personal Care)
I was very happy with the results after using this product. Of course it hurts but its bearable,you are pulling your hair out.. you sign up for some pain when you buy an epilator!! It was worst on my armpits, but i tried it on my arms, i havent tried it on my legs because i'm going on holiday in 2 weeks and want to do it just before i go for a good result....does anyone know how long it takes for the hair to grow back? (basically, could i do it now, then again before i leave in 2 weeks?!)
all in all, i'd recommend it beacause of the low price but it's annoying you can't bring it out with you.

My first epilator, 17 Jun 2009
This review is from: Philips Satinelle Soft HP6408/03 Massaging Epilator - Pink (Personal Care)
I was fed up of shaving all the time so I got this and it's brill! I used it on my legs first and it took about 20 mins to do both. The hair grew back after about two weeks and it was finer and less visible than before. There was some initial pain but I got used to it, the noise it makes is a bit cringy though! I was expecting it to be rechargeable but it's mains powered, and also it kills if used on the armpits!!!
