5.0 out of 5 stars The best epilator ever
This is the greatest epilator I have ever had.
I've been using Brawn for the last 12 years including their most expensive,newest ones, which I had to return due to being vicious and eating my skin(bikini area).
I'm very pleased with my recent purchase,very gentle and very good value for money.
Highly recommended!

3.0 out of 5 stars FIRST TIME USER
I'V NEVER USED AN EPILATOR BEFORE THIS, AND WAS REALLY IMPRESSED WITH THE RESULTS!
NO WHERE NEAR AS PAINFUL AS SOME OF THE REVIEWS SUGGESTED!!
AND THOUGH IT SAID NOT FOR BIKINI LINE - I USED IT THERE TOO - WITHOUT MUCH PAIN - HONESTLY!!!
IT'S BEEN ABOUT TEN DAYS OR SO & STILL NO REGROWTH YET!!
IM DEFINATELY CONVERTED NOW & WILL IN THE NEAR FUTURE...

4.0 out of 5 stars Smooth Legs & skin!, 21 Aug 2009
By ChrissieB (London, UK) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Philips HP6509 Satinelle Soft Sensitive Total Body Epilator With Shaving Attachment (Personal Care)
Thanks for this combo epilator & shaver!

It's even smaller than i thought. Since I've bought my first Philips shaver, the noise reduction & epilator size has been clearly improved! This combo is both value for money and gain of space! Congratulation for improving a basic yet useful products!

5.0 out of 5 stars PHILIPS HP6509 TOTAL BODY EPILATOR, 25 Sep 2009
By C. Priestley "Grays, Essex" (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Philips HP6509 Satinelle Soft Sensitive Total Body Epilator With Shaving Attachment (Personal Care)
This product was recommended to me by my sister. It beats having to shave my legs every week. On using product for first time it was a strange feeling as the hairs are basically plucked out, but once you get used to the feeling its fine. I will never use a razor again - in fact its so good i'm wondering whether the hairs are going to grow back at all! It is three weeks now since using this product and you cannot see one hair. I would certainly recommend!!!!!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars excellent, 18 Dec 2009
By F. Steele (N.Ireland) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Philips HP6509 Satinelle Soft Sensitive Total Body Epilator With Shaving Attachment (Personal Care)
I bought this to replace an older philips epilator.My first impression was how light the epilator was compared to the old one.I have found it to work even better than my old one,I like the idea that it has a removable lead which means it can be replaced if it becomes damaged unlike the old one.I thought I wouldn't ever use the shaving head which came with this epilator but have tried it and it works really well.My only faults with this product was it didn't come with a carrying case,which my old one had and the epilator head didn't come with a protective plastic cover but I've been able to use the one from my old epilator.
I cannot comment on how painful the epilator is as I've been using one for some years and don't now notice any discomfort.There is a slight rash on the skin afterwards but disappears by next day when shaving legs in the evening.I would suggest never using the epilator just before going out for the evening.

5.0 out of 5 stars Very good product!, 30 Dec 2009
This review is from: Philips HP6509 Satinelle Soft Sensitive Total Body Epilator With Shaving Attachment (Personal Care)
I am very pleased with the product. The shaving head is brilliant and so is the massage head! It is a very good friend in need! I have noticed that,not like my previous not so good Zepter epilator, this one does not affect hair in the way that it does not grow under the skin anymore.
I highly recommend it! Five stars and the price is excellent!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great 1st time epilator, 23 Mar 2010
By Lisa (Scotland) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Philips HP6509 Satinelle Soft Sensitive Total Body Epilator With Shaving Attachment (Personal Care)
This is the 1st epilator I have used and I will admit that an epilator does smart the 1st time you use it! This is because initially you will have the full compliment of leg hair! My advice is persevere, as I have used it several times since then and it has not been nearly as sore, as now I only need to tackle any regrowth. Now I can even use it without the massage head and at the fastest speed.

I did consider getting a more expensive epilator but I have to say that I am very happy with this one, it is a great little gadget, and makes me wonder why I haven't used one sooner. It's definitely much better than shaving or waxing.

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant!, 18 April 2010
This review is from: Philips HP6509 Satinelle Soft Sensitive Total Body Epilator With Shaving Attachment (Personal Care)
As a first-time epilator user I was quite aprehensive when I first switched it on because it looks pretty scary and is also very loud! As expected, it did hurt and my legs were a little sore for ten minutes after I had finished epilating them but after I put a bit of moisturiser on them they were fine. My legs were exceptionally smooth and stayed that way for over two weeks! I'm very impressed and will continue to use this product despite the fact that it hurts a lot, the pain is worth it as it means I don't have to shave my legs every other day :)

Brilliant product, don't hesitate to buy it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Very good quality-price relation, 11 Dec 2009
By Reis "Sara Reis" (Lisbon, Portugal) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Philips HP6509 Satinelle Soft Sensitive Total Body Epilator With Shaving Attachment (Personal Care)
I am deeply satisfied with this epilator. I was a bit reluctant to purchase one of these because I was afraid it might cause some pain. The truth is I hardly feel it! The massaging attachment gives a sort of tickling sensation when epilating, no pain at all. Mind you, I haven't tried it on more sensitive areas such as bikini line or the armpits but on the legs it's pain-free.

I gave it four stars because it's not as efective as a razor, since you have to pass on the same spot a few times to get all the hairs plucked. However, I think it's as good as it gets.

Highly recommend it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Must have!, 8 Dec 2009
This review is from: Philips HP6509 Satinelle Soft Sensitive Total Body Epilator With Shaving Attachment (Personal Care)
Excellent buy, a must have. Don't know why i didn't try this earlier. Have always waxed but this gives better results for longer. A bit painful but you get used to it after a minute or so. If you can tolerate waxing, you can tolerate this pain. Plus its easy to clean!

4.0 out of 5 stars best thing i've invested in this year!!, 12 April 2010
This review is from: Philips HP6509 Satinelle Soft Sensitive Total Body Epilator With Shaving Attachment (Personal Care)
I was fed up of shaving so I wanted to try something new. My friend epliates and said it had worked wonders so I thought I'd give it a try. The first time I used it, it was painful, as expected, but I found if I stuck to one leg and persisted I got used to it. I'd recommend first timers to use it at night as your legs do look kind of spotty after your first go! The results though were fantastic. Smooth legs and soft skin. The tiny hairs weren't picked up but I'll just have to wait for them to grow a little. Even so, you can't notice them with your legs out so it was no big deal.
This product comes with a trimming and shaving attachment too. I'm a new women now! I can shave my bikini line and underarms with the shaving head without cutting myself and with complete ease. And the trimmer comes in very handy for down below...
Overall I would recommend this product 100%. And I think if you persist and really want it to work then the painful first times become insignificant.
