Remington Smooth and Silky Cordless Battery Powered Wet and Dry Lady Shaver, Electric Razor with Bikini Trimmer

Product Information

Mumsnetters have tried out hundreds of epilators over the years and have strong opinions on which are the best, and which leave little to be desired. It has lots of tweezers and claims to pull out 60% more hair in one pass than similar models. The head can be removed and washed easily, which makes it very simple to care for. Key specs I got the Braun Face Spa which comes with a facial rotator head for exfoliation, which I love as much as the epilator. Great for keeping skin smooth in winter plus cheaper than buying exfoliators.” The Braun Silk-épil 9 is a great all-round epilator that will last for years and is the best epilator to buy right now. It will give you all you need, whether you’re new to epilating or looking to upgrade to a more effective device. How we chose our recommendations Budget: Battery-powered epilators are generally a lot cheaper than corded devices, so if you’re unsure how you’ll get on with it, you could try one of those before shelling out on a more expensive model. Which is the best epilator to buy?

You need to remove most hair first so that the device can direct light straight at the hair follicle – if you don’t, you’ll have to put up with a slightly unpleasant burnt hair smell while you work. You’ll also need to use it regularly over a period of months at first to reach all the hair follicles. With different attachments for legs, underarms and face, and an ergonomic S-shaped handle, the Satinelle knows exactly how to get every last hair with ease. It comes with a shave and trim attachment, has a massage roller to help make things less painful and also has a light on it so you don’t miss a single hair.If you like the look of the Braun Silk-épil 9, but your budget doesn’t quite stretch, this is a great cheaper alternative from the same company. However, once you’ve done all that, you’re basically hair-free and will find that, as time goes on and with more usage, you won't really get any new hairs growing. I just bought the Philips Lumea and can’t believe the results! I'm on my last session of the treatment plan, haven't shaved my legs (or anything else in two weeks) and I am only now getting stubble, but it's very patchy and mostly my body is smooth and hair-free.”

It’s corded, so only for dry use, and doesn’t have the fancy pivoting head or raft of blades that the Silk-épil 9 has, but it’s a similar model in many other ways. You don’t have to wait until the hairs are long to be able to epilate again, as you do with waxing.Although epilators can be quite an expense initially, over the years they’ll save you money, particularly if you go for professional waxes regularly. Is epilating painful? I have a Panasonic. I echo getting a cordless model. Mine's also got a light which is super useful for seeing the hairs.” So handy it will fit into your make-up bag, and very effective too, the Wizzit is ideal if all you want is something to sort those irritating top lip hairs. I would never bother to wax or shave again. I have a Braun Silk-épil epilator – a cheaper one which has to be plugged in to be used, which is fine.” It’s worth being aware that this is very much a long-haul process. You won’t use an IPL epilator and have instantly smooth legs.

It also comes with three different heads for using on different areas of the body (face, legs, underarm and bikini line) and is very lightweight, making it easy to manoeuvre. I have a Remington 5-in-1 and it's brill. Yes, it hurts like hell the first time after shaving, but I've been epilating for 12 years now, five weeks easily between goes, and it takes 10 minutes. No pain at all anymore unless I've done a lazy leg shave.” The wide, flexible head pivots, which makes it easy to get into hard-to-reach areas, and a light on the device allows you to see what you’re doing. Braun also claims that the Silk-épil 9 can whip out hairs as short as 0.5mm, meaning you don’t have to put up with any regrowth. As you epilate, it exfoliates and massages at the same time, which helps reduce any discomfort as the hairs are pulled out and gives you a smoother finish overall. Key specsThe REMINGTON® Smooth & Silky® Electric Shaver has three floating blades that get close to skin for 50% more effective trimming in one pass*! The flexible hypoallergenic foil helps prevents irritation in sensitive areas, and the rounded comfort tips glide effortlessly over skin. The rechargeable battery gives you the convenience of cordless performance with 30 minutes of runtime. Plus, thanks to the wet/dry design, you can shave in the shower or wherever you’re most comfortable. *vs. previous Remington model in lab trials (varies by technique) Three speed settings (soft, normal and power) give you a bit of extra control. The sonic scrub brush head, which exfoliates skin thoroughly, is a nice add-on too. Key specs It can be used wet as well as dry and you can also pour shower gel onto the head so it foams up as it epilates, which makes things even more comfortable. Cordless or battery-powered: corded epilators tend to retain their power better than cordless. Battery-operated wet epilators should last around five years, but a corded version will likely last longer. Trim and shave in or out of the shower. The wet/dry design lets you find your ultimate comfort and convenience.

Say ‘goodbye’ to irritating razors and ‘hello’ to the skin-loving Cordless Lady Shaver from Remington. At Remington, we listen to what our customers want, and fast, instant hair removal that won’t leave skin red or irritated after shaving is at the top of their wish list. Epilators work by tweezing out the hairs at the root, so they can provide an instant smooth finish as well as eventually reducing hair regrowth. Some epilators can be used in the shower, so if you think you might find it painful, we'd recommend a wet and dry epilator. How often should I epilate? Epilators can be powered by battery or plugged in. Laser or IPL (intense pulsed light) epilators work by ‘putting the hair follicle to sleep’ and it shouldn’t regrow for at least six months. Is an epilator better than waxing or shaving? Epilating your legs isn’t typically uncomfortable, but bikini lines and underarms can hurt a bit more. A good tip is to wet the skin first to open up the pores and then pull it as taut as possible.The Remington Smooth & Silky Cordless Bikini Trimmer is the perfect tool for all of your bikini trimming needs. Compact enough to keep in your wash bag, this clever beauty must-have boasts precise shaping and trimming, an essential for smooth, accurate results every time.

Whether you decide to use it wet or dry, you can painlessly smooth your legs, underarms, and bikini area with this ergonomic razor: Its comfortable, "s"-shaped handle makes hair removal a breeze. Plus, the tool also contains pearl-tip trimmers that nicely protect even the most sensitive skin from irritation. You can use the facial brush with your usual cleanser and moisturiser to help these products penetrate your skin more deeply and get to work faster. Guaranteed glow!
