Each of my hair follicles was bright red after, and my skin was extremely warm to the touch. Sadly that wasn't an option, so I put on some PJs and stayed as still as possible until I went to bed. Assuming that the hair comes back even remotely finer and/or sporadically enough to reduce the pain, the process was worth it. If this cuts down my need to remove my hair down to 2-3 times a month AND gives me an excuse to binge-watch a few episodes of bad TV while doing so, I'll deal with the pain. Warning to people who try to epilate their underarms: Be prepared for blood. The small surface area was the one relief because I managed to get each of them done in only a minute or two. The hole is narrow to avoid catching your skin (which I didn't have any issues with whatsoever, even with the open attachments), but the plastic is so thick that it's hard to get short hairs. SHAVER ATTACHMENT--with and without trimmer head (4/5). This is alright for trimming. It isn't as good as a dedicated trimmer because you can't get as much hair at once, but it does its job pretty well. STAND (?/5). I'm not really going to leave my epilator out all of the time, especially since I will supposedly only need it once or twice a month, so I'm not giving a review of this. I make my own facial products (moisturizers, exfoliators, cleansers, etc. My skin doesn't feel any smoother or cleaner than when I use the products I make myself, and it has a bigger environmental impact thanks to the batteries."
"Your first use will make you cry, sweat, even bleed but the three weeks of being a hairless beauty makes it worth it. Wax is messy but less painful than this bugger. Because I actually really love the stupid torture device. I just grit my teeth and suffer for future hairless beauty and quick showers sans shaving. It's quick, great for touch ups, my skin doesn't get as roughed up."
"I have struggled with having dark body hair and seemingly more than my friends, and had been shaving my arms since I was a teenager. It took me years to figure that out). Shaving would cause it to come back the very next day after doing it for a while and it was so depressing being constantly reminded of my inflcition. The first time I did it, I went really fast across my arms and wasn't consistent, going in different directions and pushing too hard or too soft because I didn't get it - and the hair seemed to grow back quickly. After doing alot of research on the proper way to epilate, and getting used to it- I now have it completely down and see what people love about it so much. I epilate at night time and when it's done it will definitely look red and dotted like a plucked chicken ... The clipper attachment that comes with this is also really quality, I have been using it to get an even cut on my downstairs and the small size is perfect for that area. The entire device is easy to charge, clean and sanitize, and it's got a cute design that is welcoming and user friendly."
Complete with two speed settings and an ergonomic grip for comfortable handling, this epilation system removes hair as short as 0.5 millimeter. Satinelle gently removes even the shortest hairs (up to 0.5mm) from the root, so you spend less time waiting for the hair to grow out before epilating. Epilation on dry skin is preferred for ability to pick up more hairs on the first pass.

The product came as described with an extra long cord, making it easy to move around the bathroom. This little baby is pretty loud, but my sleeping husband and toddler did not wake up in the next room. I followed all the recommended exfoliation procedure, went slow, and held it at a 90 degree angle and my legs had a lot of red bumps. Some say those bumps lasted for days and even weeks of irritation and leading to ingrown hairs but this is false for me. Skin comes in all types of sensitivity levels so I agree that this form of hair removal isn't for everyone. Now that my skin is used to it I can actually sit down and touch up whatever needs it without having to waste my time and water shaving in the shower! Another plus: normally you would want to shave/be hair free when going to the beach or swimming so shaving right before the event makes sense?"
"I bought this little equipment because i was tired of using creams due to the horrible smell and also started to harm my skin, and shaving was even worse (horrible irritation and let's not talk about those ingrown hairs). Since the levels of pain are very subjective and also may differ depending on the area, something you should really evaluate before buying this equipment is your pain tolerance. Just grab your tweezers and pluck some hair in different areas of your body, and then you'll know. I'd suggest to moisturize skin after you finish, and to exfoliate your skin during the week to avoid those nasty ingrown hairs. Despite of being a way more small area, it took me more time because of the pain. I also bled a little, since I have very thick and coarse armpit hair."
"I feel obliged to leave a review of this product because I bought my first Philips Satinelle 20 years ago and worked perfectly until last week, suffered several falls and resisted like no other product I ever have owed."

"Lightweight, compact and quiet."
"No one told me when I was younger that I'd be cursed with disgusting hair growing out of my chin."
"The package includes an extra heads (which allow to trim eyebrows, i.e. they leave hair with a certain length). 7. The description mentioned a pouch, but it was not included in the package. I found a cute little bag from jewelry beads which fit the extra heads and the brush to keep them all together. The cost of the replacement blade is $6.64 plus shipping if you buy it directly from Panasonic web site. There is a nice online tool that I use to help catch a good price on Amazon, this tool is called "Online Price Alert". If you search on "online price alert" in Google it will be come up at the top. To change the blade you need to pull down on the tab on the base part of the trimmer's head (visible and marked on the photo). When it opens up the blade is attached to the half of the head that can be removed. It actually works very well, and it is nice that you don't need to touch the "naked" blade directly."
"I’ve paid the same price for real crappy ones that don’t work half as good as this, or are cheaply made."
"I ended up buying a pencil case to keep all the blades and attachments in one place which has worked out just fine."
"The eyebrow attachment was also easy to use and worked well."
"Does a very good job of getting rid of all those wiry nuisances."

If you need look like a naked mole rat for a special occasion, I would recommend using the shaving head the DAY of. Go slow with the shaving head and complete the scrotum in sections, before you know it you'll have a silky smooth nut sac, not some sad wrinkly pouch with awkward 3 inch hairs shooting everywhere. If this thing can handle the nether region, I've also used it for the chest and armpits with phenomenal success."
"I guess to look on the bright side, now I could cauterize the open wounds the trimmers had originally caused. My brother, whom I assumed was having the same types of problems, did quite a bit of searching and reviewing for a good body hair trimmer. I asked my brother how his new body trimmer had been working and he said it was great... no nicks, no problems, no hairs (yes he showed me, and I have to say it was quite handsome). I'll have to admit I was very cautious and scared to shave my scrotum (I'd never properly done it before without problems), but I was able to glide over those bad boys with ease, no pain, no nicks, no hair!"
