Beter than shaving,
31st July 2008
Review By Some Woman (N Yorks)
I bought this model because it was reduced and because I had never used an epilator before, so didn't want to spend a lot of money on one in case I didn't like it. This one comes with an icepack and shaver head.
I have used it on my legs and underarms , but not yet on my bikini line!
I found that it doesn't really hurt on my legs and that's without using the icepack. Some areas, like the backs of my legs, sting more that others, but if you pull the skin tight, it hurts a lot less. If you use the icepack it helps you keep the epilator at the right angle and it removes more hairs.
I've been using it for a few days and it does take practise and it can miss a lot of hairs so you have to keep going back over the same area. But the more you use it, the less it hurts.
It took two days to do my underarms! I had to keep stopping because it really stung. But the last time I used it, the pain had reduced and I was able to finish the job! You use a 'cap' that reduces the area of the epilator head, so removes fewer hairs at a time. I now have really smooth under arms and I know that the next time I do it it won't hurt a much.
I think the key to epilating is to just grin and bear it and the results are worth it.
I only gave 4 stars because it's a bit noisy and it didn't remove as many hairs as I had hoped in one go. But I expect that is down to user error rather than a duff machine.
Enjoy!

Philips Satinelle Ice Premier,
11th September 2008
Review By Ms. V. Ross "victoria85" (United Kingdom)
I purchased this as I had seen it advertised on tv. I've never used an epilator before and normally shave, but like the idea of being hair free for longer.
Before buying I read lots of reviews online on this product, and everyone said that epilating does hurt, regardless of the quality of the epilator. So using this for the first time yesterday I had expected it to be quite painful. I can honestly say that it really isn't that bad. I would say it was more uncomfortable than painful. Obviously the pain factor will vary from person to person, but I personally found it to be less than being waxed!! Considering I did my underarms and bikini I was VERY impressed!!
It removed nearly all the hairs (only left the very short ones) and it took only about half and hour to finish everything which I thought was good for my first time.
I would definately recommend this epilator, and epilating in general!!!

Better than Shaving or Waxing,
6th September 2008
Review By Why D (ABERDEENSHIRE)
This is the first Epilator I have bought as I was recommended to buy one by a friend. A lot better than shaving and being left with ingrown hairs and itchy hair regrowth and a lot easier and less messy than waxing. Don't get me wrong it still hurts but the results are worth it. I would say that the first couple of times you just have to grin and bear it. Hope this helps someone thinking about buying one as I was very undecided with the reviews I read but would definitely recommend it.

Doesn't hurt that much. Not really great but a good buy!,
10th August 2008
Review By Tsukasai "Tsukasai" (UK)
This is my first time buying an epilator actually bought it for my girlfriend. We all tried on ourselves and felt ok not too much pain like some other reviews. The product and package look really well made and good quality. Delivery from amazon, as usual, was super fast. The ice cooling actually a piece of plactic with a metal head on top which is really cool. It's cold in normal room temperature although it's suggested by the manual to store it in the fridge/frezer for 4 hours. Haven't tried it myself so can't really say how cold it is. Overall it is a reasonable good product especially with the price of 32.5 I've bought. It doesn't remove very short hairs though but I guess other product can't do that either. Hope this help if you're looking to buy one.
