• The hypoallergenic ceramic discs perform up to 70,000 movements per minute. They reduce the total epilation time to 10 minutes.
• Cordless and waterproof, the device is suitable for both wet and dry epilation, so carry out this or other treatments in comfort, in a bath full of foam or in the shower - just the way you like it.
• The non-slip grip makes it easy to epilate with precision. The device does not slip from your hand, especially when removing hair from hard-to-reach areas (e.g. the back of the thighs).
• The shaving head transforms the epilator into an epilator and the trimming attachment allows precise trimming of hair in the bikini area.
• The massaging attachment reduces discomfort when plucking hairs or can be used for relaxation on a daily basis.
• The exfoliating brush with 10,000 fine hypoallergenic bristles effectively gets rid of dead skin, improves blood circulation and prevents ingrown hairs.

• The rotating foot file performs an effective pedicure and, thanks to its narrow edge, can reach even hard-to-reach areas (e.g. skin on the big toe).

• This Philips disc epilator is the top-of-the-range model in the Beauty Series. The others (BRE740/10, BRE730/10, BRE 710/00) differ in the number of attachments and accessories.
• Depilatories with ceramic discs are particularly recommended for those with thick and dark hair.

"Perfect kit, just in time for a Saturday home spa. Worth the price, I've had it for over 2 years and not a single breakdown," praises the product Ania.

"I was very much against classic epilation because of the horrible ingrown hairs, but I took a chance for the last time. I use Philips and an exfoliating brush - the ingrown hair problem is gone!", Louisa gives hope to many women.

Philips Beauty Series 9000 manual

Ceramic epilator is a common, simplified term for an epilator with ceramic discs. The material itself does not affect the efficacy of the epilator, but may be important for those with contact allergies - ceramic is hypoallergenic.

 The world's first waterproof epilator with a movable head. Distinguished by its shape and ergonomic, non-slip handle. Provides easy and precise movement control during epilation, which makes it easier to remove hair especially from hard-to-reach areas.

• The movable head makes it easy to guide and manoeuvre over the skin, even in hard-to-reach areas.
• The 100% waterproof device can be used in the bath or shower.
  Micro-Grip technology with 40 tweezers on the wide head shortens the treatment.
• SensoSmart™ technology selects the right pressure on the skin to make epilation effective and pain-free. When you press too hard on the device, a red light turns on.
• The scrub brush attachment is more effective than a manual brush and produces softer, firmer and smoother skin. Prevents ingrown hairs after epilation.
• The set includes an additional FaceSpa facial care device. The brush for sensitive skin gently removes skin impurities - and is six times better than a manual treatment.
• With the dedicated shaving head, you'll remove hair when you need instant smooth skin without irritation.
• The trimming attachment allows you to trim hair and form different hair shapes.

• Braun has created a comprehensive epilation and facial and body kit, but... lacks skin illumination during operation. Perform epilation and other treatments with good lighting.
• The device does not have a massage pad.

"The epilator is sensational, I would recommend it to any lady considering buying one! Legs smooth and after a few times zero pain. Great purchase!", Basia praises the Braun epilator on Ceneo.co.uk

"The epilator is multifunctional and solidly made and looks beautiful. My skin feels smooth after epilating and the moveable epilation head makes it easy to use. I am very happy with the whole set and convinced that it will be with me for the next few years," writes Joanna on the product page at Media Markt.

Instructions Braun Silk-épil 9 Flex 9100 Wet & Dry

A basic but solidly made face and body epilator at a reasonable price. The device plucks hairs as small as 0.5 mm in length and, thanks to a dedicated massage pad, reduces the discomfort felt during epilation. It can be used in water. And when you don't need epilation, it will shave your skin smooth or trim the hair to your preference.

• It effectively removes hair as small as half a millimetre, so you don't have to wait for the treatment and endure the unpleasant sensation of "scratching" growing hairs on your skin.
• Thanks to additional attachments, plucking hair will be less painful (massage attachment) and more precise (attachment for smaller areas, e.g. bikini).
• It is a device with a shaver function. The shaver attachment is as effective and comfortable to use as the best shavers for women.
• Thanks to the special massage pad with aloe vera strip, the epilation procedure is less painful.
• The built-in light illuminates the skin so you won't miss a hair.

"Painless hair epilator. The massaging pad works great and epilation is no longer so scary. With each use it feels more and more like a massage rather than the torture of the past!", writes Ann on a beauty forum.

"A nice epilator at a good price. It has basic functions, just right for me. I expected smoothness, minimised pain and ease of use. Remington is not inferior to Philips or Braun in any way. It is also feminine and very pretty!", praises the device Wiki on Notino.

Take note:

• Use the sensitive area attachment to remove hair from the face.
• The device can be washed with water but is not waterproof (it has a low waterproof rating and cannot be submerged).

Remington Smooth & Silky EP 7500 manual

Advertised as the ideal epilator for beginners, because of the pressure sensor (when you are learning to "feel" the device), the pad that massages the skin during the treatment (reduces pain), waterproof. This is the device for you if you want to have fond memories of your first epilation or... convince yourself of it after unpleasant attempts with other products. 

epilation pad, trimmer attachment, cleaning brush, skin contact cap, trimmer, charger, pouch, 2 AA batteries (for trimmer)

• Micro-Grip technology reduces epilation time - wide tweezers precisely grip and remove short hairs, even in hard-to-reach areas (e.g. underarms, knees).
• SensoSmart technology selects the right pressure on the skin so it doesn't pinch, hurt or skip hairs.
• This leg, underarm and bikini epilator is waterproof.
• The anti-slip grip makes it easy to work the device precisely in water, even when you assume a demanding position or have wet hands.
• The shaving head transforms the epilator into a fully functional shaver, while the trimming attachment allows precise trimming of hair in the bikini area.
• This is a good epilator for sensitive skin - thanks to a special massaging cap with two rollers, it reduces discomfort when plucking hairs.

"The product fully meets my expectations. With my previous epilator it took 30 minutes to epilate my legs. Now the whole thing takes about 10 minutes, the skin is not irritated and the hair only grows back after 2 weeks, not one. Highly recommended!", Magda writes on Notino.

"My old epilator could pinch me. Braun Silk-épil 5, thanks to the SensoSmart, doesn't hurt the skin because it stops when the pressure of the cap on the skin is too high. If you press the epilator too hard on your skin, you hear a 'wrr' and a red light comes on. I tested it on myself - the SensoSmart saved me from unpleasant pinching," reports Alexandra on Wizaż.

Take note:

• It lacks illumination of the skin during epilation. Perform the treatment in good light so you don't miss a single hair.

• The hypoallergenic ceramic discs are 50% longer compared to older Philips models. This allows a larger area of skin to be epilated and reduces treatment time.
• The ability to epilate wet and dry is a huge advantage, as hair removal in water is less painful.
• The ergonomic, contoured and non-slip handle allows better control of movement and manoeuvring of the device on the skin and increases the range of epilation.
• The OptiLight light illuminates hairs on the skin as you work, so you won't miss a hair.
• With the cordless device you can epilate your body freely and comfortably. You have up to 40 minutes to do so - no need to rush.
• With a dedicated set of attachments, you'll be able to take care of your entire body. As well as epilation, you can shave or shorten your hair, exfoliate dead skin and give yourself a proper pedicure.

Above all, the epilator gets a round of applause for the number of practical attachments and the ability to perform multiple beauty treatments at once. 

Take note

• Some users write that the device is noisy during operation.
• The light function only works on the epilating attachment. Perform shaving and other treatments in good lighting.
• The instruction manual included in the package is pictorial and less clear than the text instructions.

Instructions Philips Wet & Dry BRE740/10

The double disk epilator is used to remove unwanted hair from arms and legs. As many as 60 tweezers effectively grasp and pluck hair along with the roots, providing days of smooth skin. The flexible head is comfortable to manoeuvre against the skin. The product is waterproof, so you can easily epilate in the bath or shower.

• The flexible head rotates by 90°, adapting to the curvature of the body. It precisely removes hair even in problem areas, such as the knees, which have hollows and uneven surfaces (and this is where small hairs like to hide!).
• The Double Disc System is a wide head with double discs and up to 60 tweezers. It removes hair quickly and effectively in one stroke. This reduces epilation time.
• A huge advantage is the ability to epilate wet and dry.
• The cordless handle is comfortable, ergonomic and will not slip out of your hand.

Instructions Panasonic ES-EL2A-A503 with LED

A good option if you want to buy a device from a trusted manufacturer and have a guarantee of quality workmanship. It will remove unwanted hair from the legs, underarms and bikini area. The device has two speed modes and a light that illuminates the skin.

head, trimmer attachment (shaver), cleaning brush, charger

• The epilator, with its two speed modes, will better adapt to your hair type (the slower mode grabs shorter and harder-to-reach hairs) and will allow even the smallest hairs on the skin to be more visible (thanks to the illumination of the skin during epilation).
• As an added bonus, the massage/relaxation attachment rolls over the skin to reduce discomfort when plucking hairs from the root and improves local circulation.

• For this epilator to effectively grab and remove unwanted hairs, they should be a minimum of 2mm in length. If you don't like the regrowth stage and prickly hairs on your skin, look for a more precise epilator that will reduce the time you have to wait for your next treatment, such as the Philips Satinelle (described below).
• If you need more attachments, check out the Braun Silk-épil 7 versions.
