I bought the epilator from Philips me two weeks ago, my first. After I read an awful lot, how painful it is to use this epilator, I almost dare not even really put it to use. But despite everything, I gathered my courage and tried it out on the legs. As soon as he had the first time carries out his work, my heart sank because I was actually painful. But then I thought to myself that it is really a coward but to give up so quickly and again plucked up courage. Behold, it was not as bad as I thought. After a very short time I got used to the tweet and thought it was no longer painful. So both legs were depilated. The result is really impressive and I stuck to the statement and repeated the procedure a few days in a row - as it was recommended as the hair grows in different cycles. Meanwhile, I have wonderfully smooth legs and have done so for several days. With the razor I would not have achieved this result. Just great. The sound is certainly loud, but not so loud that it sounds my husband in the living room. The volume is really unbearable. At first I did not dare to remove my hair with the little epilator under the armpits and bikini area. But also I have struggled through and I think that all not bad at all and I misplaced my real horror stories when it comes to pain. I am wirlich glad that I dare and want epilator no longer quite sure to miss. It is great that there is the small and the great epilator. Little is super handy, also the Great fits comfortably in your hand. The tweezers I have also tried and find you ok I would recommend everyone to make the experience a epilator itself, since each the "pain" feels different. I feel definitely no pain and will certainly not give the little ones like the Great and this set can really recommend it to anyone.
