This is my first purchase of an epilator. I like the fact that I have the option of using this while in or out of the shower unlike other epilators. The pain is tolerable. I have not used the wipes provided to help with the pain. But it took me some time to have the courage to do the first swipe. Maybe it's because of the sound, which was louder than I expected it to produce.
At first, I used it with the massager head since the manual said that that stimulates the skin before and soothes the skin after hair removal. But I had difficulty getting all the hair out in some areas (knee, bony part of the leg, armpit - I get cuts). The massager head had a prickling effect that made it uncomfortable to epilate in those bony parts. So I tried using the efficieny cap, which I found out was much better in doing the job especially in those problem areas.
The process of epilating takes some time so I usually don't do everything in one session. But it does get the hair out so I'm still satisfied.

Got it from Bed Bath and Beyond with 20% coupon on the mail and it only cost about $95. The product is easy to use and clean but it does hurt a little bit for the first time.
Recently, many products at Amazon seems to cost more than what I can get from nearby stores or other online retailers. For example, I can get a genuine oral b dual refill heads for only $10 compares to $18 from Amazon.
Thus, it might be better to check the local stores before buy this item online and have to wait 2-3 weeks to get it. Plus, it is easier to return & refund.. if you cannot stand the pain!

I have tried and owned it all: razors, electric razor, the original Epilady back more than 25 years ago, the Smooth Away system, Nair, and a really nice hot wax kit. I am very sensitive to pain, but my desire to be done with hassling with hair and mess overrode that. I expected less from this epilator than it has delivered. Yes, there is what I would call discomfort with the first and most ambitious hair removal, but I suggest that you do use the "massaging" head with it. That DOES work for a first timer. I now prefer the regular attachment for efficiency, but the massager is great on the remaining sensitive areas. I am flabbergasted at how many hairs it finds. A GREAT feature is the "Smart Light" that shows me the tiniest hairs. Very satisfying to watch them disappear as the epilator goes over them. It is also a very easy to clean device! I ran out of hairs to epilate (got a little addicted to the perfection of the process), so am now waiting it out. I have had smooth, smooth legs for DAYS. Worth every cent of the 119 dollars I spent. (Note: I've not tried it in the shower yet, as I'm happy about being able to set out a towel and watch tv and have a snack while I do this thing. You are not trapped in the bathroom.)
Tips: If some hairs are shorter than 2 mm and just can't get picked up, they are not visible in any case. Wait a day, and the epilator will get them. DO exfoliate. I recommend the "bath gloves" that you can get at the grocery store, but the Body Shop has terrific exfoliating bath gloves. If a hair is stubbornly being missed, be sure to stretch the skin tight right at that area, and try again.

I have been using an epilator for years, so for 'newbies' just a few comments-
YES- the pain gets better. Stick with it. I use it for everything- upper lip, underarms, legs, bikini- and I don't need any special soothing creams or gentle 'caps' or anything. I barely even feel it. You can get there.
It definitely beats shaving.
But I would say that the "hair free for 4-6 weeks" claim is bunk. If I go more than 2 weeks or so, it's noticeable. Now, the hair is softer and lighter so even if it's there it's not awful- but if you are expecting to be totally silky smooth for a month- no.
And on that note- I'm not sure I'm EVER 100% silky smooth. there are always a few little fine hairs it can't get, or a few that break. It's not like that JUST shaven feeling. (but, that just shaven feeling only lasts what, an hour?)
But the reason I'm writing this review-
I've had several epilators, and have tried pretty much every model of the silk-epil. I was so excited about two things on this one: the rechargeable battery, and the wet/dry ability.
First re: the wet/dry- I tried it in the shower- It didn't work NEARLY as well. missed tons of hairs. I think the fact that you can get it wet is meant more so you can clean it- not use it in the tub. But, maybe that's just me, maybe I should try it again.
And the battery- I honestly wish I had saved money and gotten the corded one. The charge doesn't last long enough, and it gets wimpy at the end. Even if I plug it in, it's wimpy until the battery gets some charge back. And worst of all- if I use it too much, I think maybe it overheats- it gets really hot and seems to strain the battery, and it will just totally die. I have to leave it alone for 5-10 min, and then I can go again just for maybe 3 minutes.
I really think this has to do with the battery and charging system.
So my recommendation would be to save money and get the corded version. After all- where are you going to be using it that it's so hard to be near an outlet?

I agree with the previous reviews so i won't repeat it myself. I will add that this is my first time using the epilator. I absolutely HATE to shave my legs and wanted something where I didn't have to shave as often but get a close and smooth results. I kept stalling because I knew this was going to hurt. So i just took a deep breath and apply the Olay pre-epilation wipes(which came with the package) on my legs and waited 30 seconds as instructed and went for it. Wow!! It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. It did have a prickly sensation but i can see after a few times, this will be painless. I think the wipes made a big difference in making it less painful. The downside of the wipes is i can't find them in the stores and i'm being told that you have to get them online which Amazon does carry them. But they are totally worth it. So if you are a big baby about taking the pain like me, do use the wipes first and this epilator, and you will be surprised. It's been a week since i did this and my legs are still smooth. LOVE IT!!
