Having sensitive skin -i swore never to use an epilator again (after i tried a friends no name epilator.ouch!)
but...i hated shaving my legs every day- and my skin agreed in another option. waxing my legs left them looking like ground beef for 1-2 days, so i was considering epilation again.

I read about the silk epil easy start set and gave it a shot.
Its great to have the optional attachment to start your first epilation with less tweezers. it was far less painful than waxing and after the first strokes i changed to the regular-tweezer attachment (which plugs more hair per stroke).
the only thing i feel is a very, very slight discomfort.
Afterwards I put some aloe on my legs and i am ready to go.
(there are tiny red spots- but they only last for 2 hours. then they are gone completely!)

After reading countless reviews and remembering how horrible the old epilators were, I was apprehensive about purchasing one. Two seconds after starting to use it, I could not be more pleased. The attachments are easy to use, the instructions are helpful and no, it does not hurt that much. I use it for legs, underarms and bikini line. The shaving attachment really helps for the latter.

It will not get your legs completely hair free like a razor--there's always a couple stubborn ones that just won't come off--but it does a 98% job and the hair takes days to grow back in to where it's noticable to the touch and a good 10-14 days before you need to use the epilator again.

Bonus--It is also dual voltage, so will work in 220 as well if get an outlet adapter.

If you want an epilator, this is the one to get.

This Epilator works beyond imagination. It is gentle, fast and leaves all my body parts silky-smooth. My husband can't keep his hands off me now. It is a well-built product and I recommend it to anyone looking for an Epilator.
