Lately I changed my old epilator for a new one and was surprised how different it was. I had my old epilator many years, so I didn't know how good are the new ones. I can compare it and it is really change. It is so precise and doesn't leave any hair. When I use it I feel only comfort and it is completely painless. It has special heads for more sensitive areas, for example bikini. I am so happy about it and gladly recommend it to everybody who want to change epilator for the new one.

I've been using wet and dry one.This realy is very good product, ok, it's not perfect, because it does leave some hair but it is the same with waxing, but difference is you don't need to wait for your hair to grow certain lengh to remowe them again. And if you use it in bath or shower it does hurt a lot less. The best I find it using in the shower with a bit shower gel on my body and you can see better than in bath, because although it has this amazing light on you can't see all the hair thats why it easy to miss some but in shower it's a lot better. I got mine for free with amazing supersavvyme to test it and rewiev it so it's been wonderfull, but I think if I had to buy it- it is quit expensive, but with the offer that Boots have it realy is a good, good price. Just think how much you save in long run if you normaly wax. And as well quality wise I haven't had any isues, I think it realy is great product and if I wouldn't get mine for free, I definetly would go and buy one.

I've had this epilator 6 weeks now and I wish I had discovered epilation years ago! The wait between waxing for the hair to grow long enough was so annoying but this product can remove the tiniest hairs I'm so impressed with it! And it doesn't hurt like I thought it would, on my legs it tingles a little to begin with then is fine after a few seconds. It comes with different heads for under arm, bikini and facial hair and comes with a trimmer/shaver head which works really well also. The light is really helpful highlighting any little hairs you might have missed, it charges up quickly and the battery lasts a long time. So glad I have this product!

I have recently tried the new Braun wet & Dry epilator after years of either waxing or shaving. I hate shaving as the results last a couple of days if I'm lucky, waxing has better results but I still have to either pluck the hairs that have been missed or shave them. After using the epilator once I still have great results 2 weeks on. It is a little painful to begin with but if you grit your teeth and keep going the pain is manageable. Underarm hair is easily removed with minimal pain and long lasting results. This model comes with changeable heads for bikini lines and facial hair, so even though the price seems a little high if you add up all the treatments this products covers it is well worth the money. I especially like the Smart light feature which allows you to see exactly where you are epilating. You can use the product in the bath or shower, which seems to ease the pain when epilating and as you can get the product wet it is easily cleaned under running water. It also comes with a mains charger which saves on the cost of batteries. This is a great product with many features offering great value for money.

I have been using this for a month or so now and cannot recommend it enough. I find it less painful than waxing but the sensation did take a little getting used to and the first time I used on my legs dry they were blotchy and a little sore for a few hours after the next time this was hardly noticable. I like the fact that it can be used in the bath or shower which does reduce the pain in sensative areas. It comes with different heads for different parts of the body along with a trimmer and shaver head. The light really illuminates the area being treated highlighting hairs which you may miss otherwise. It charges really quickly and lasts for about an hour. You will need a two pin adapter as the charger has a two pin plug so this can be plugged into a bathroom shaver socket.

Epilator Braun Silk-Epil 7681 Xpressive Wet & Dry reduces pain due to hair removal in the water (now I am able to perform hair removal not only for the legs but for all other parts of the body), it is safe to use even in a filled bathtub. Epilator Braun Silk-Epil 7681 Xpressive Wet & Dry has a few tips: shaving (it may be used as an electric shaver) with trimmer for sensitive areas, wet and dry epilation. Also wipes for cleaning the skin prior to epilation are included! Bits and epilator head can be easily removed with a washing brush, which is included. Also Epilator Braun Silk-Epil 7681 Xpressive Wet & Dry has a battery charge indicator: when it shows green light, the battery charge is sufficient, and when the light become red - you need to charge your battery. The advertisement stated that a full battery charge lasts for 40 minutes of hair removal. I do not use the epilator for a long time - a maximum of 10 minutes, so I use a battery for4-5 hair removal. Epilator Braun Silk-Epil 7681 Xpressive Wet & Dry really helps to significantly reduce the pain of hair removal, even Sensitive areas. So I recommend it to everybody!

this is not bad, however Ive has same results with old philips epilator.. + those grown-in hair.. not so good as it seemed from the ad.. + it got broken when it fel down from 1m height

I have used Epilators for years, and have owned various ones from Philips to Braun etc.
I was particularly excited about receiving my new 7781 as it also came with a face part.
However, on receipt I found that it didnt' have the face part - having called I was told that the UK version did not have this!
Why would Braun advertise a product and then mislead the customer?!
I am very dissapointed

When i first used the epilator (dry) i got a shock at the feeling. But soon after, it felt fine (especially in the shower with shower gel and running water). I cant believe how smooth it feels and the way it cuts out the whole hair. It is a good thing to moisturise afterwards and ill probably exfoliate in the coming week too. I think it is much more cost effective than waxing and it is an effective 'at home' treatment of hair removal. Had to buy a shaver adaptor to charge it which was a bit of a pain, but worth it in the end.

I just used my Braun Silk Epil Expressive for the first time and i absolutely love it! I work as a model so I'm required to be virtually hairless and being of Mediterranean decent, body hair is an ongoing battle. I used this on my legs, arms, bikini and under arms and it leaves my skin perfectly hairless. However, I must admit, it is pretty painful, I was swearing my head off the whole time, my poor boyfriend was on the other side of the bathroom door thinking I was going crazy. It's been over a week and not one hair has grown back and I was told that over time it will become less painful. I highly recommend this product!

Having read all the reviews thought I would give the Bruan Silk epil Xpressive 7681 Epilator a try. Used to waxing legs so wondered where the pain was that I was supposed to feel. Absolutely brilliant for legs. Yes, I did have to go over and over a few times to get rid of stragglers but no broken hairs as I sometimes experienced with waxing.Have always shaved underarms and found that extremely painful. Eye wateringly so! However, have perservered and it does a brilliant job.
Have only had mine a short while so cannot review durability and service. Just picked a figure for those. When I compare the money I was spending on waxing - this is going to pay for itself very quickly.

I found this review very helpful because... Very thorough review!!

I found this review really clear and has helped me to pick the product I needed. My last epilator is now 15 years old and that was a Braun, so I'm expecting a lot from my next one!!

Had two braun epilators the second was a little better than the first (less painful) As mine is now very old I thought i'd try the latest model. Got it yesterday and did my legs ready for my holiday. Absolutely fantastic. Hardly any pain I couldn't believe how good it was. I just went straight in legs dry and no torture. I am going to use it in the bath next. The other attachments are good too. No more waxing or shaving for me. I have very dark strong hair too and it coped brilliant. I was unable to do my legs with my other as it was soooo painful only used for my bikini line and that was after a couple of brandies!

Love the Braun 7681 Xpressive Body Epilator - not as painful as my previous epilator. The pre epilator wipes done appear to do anything but all the attachements are ok.
I've had braun epilator for years and not used it because it was like torture! This is far easier and not as painful/
Expensive but I'm worth it! It has a light + it's actually beneficial

More efficient than waxing
Style is cool, easy to carry everywhere
Love this product as its not just for one specific part of the body, you can use it all over including your face!
Its great how it handles.

Braun 7681 Xpressive Body Epilator works really well. Its excellent. The first time i used it, it did not take all the hair out but after that it works really good. My hair is thinner and takes longer to grow back. It works good on legs, bikini and underarm. A product i will definitely recommend.

Very clean and efficient product. Had really thick hairs and spots from shaving and now they are all gone. Smooth after two days which is amazing for me! Well worth it if you want to feel confident and smooth for much longer than any other product.

Fantastic for in between other treatments, or can be used as a independent treatment by itself. It's really easy to use, and has the shaver attachment to trim longer hairs before epilating. Suitable for sensitive skin, and the morning after my legs looked like they'd been waxed. The wipes that come with the pack are really good, and definitely helped. I am not really bothered by pain (as in I don't flinch during Hollywood waxing), and found epilating tickled more than it hurt. If you are sensitive to pain, you may find it uncomfortable, but the pain is probably worth it. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

EXCELLENT!! The Bruan Silk epil Xpressive 7681 Epilator is very good. It has 3 attachments for the type of epilation you want e.g fast, slow(massaging) or for sensitive skin also includes shaver attachment. Expensive.
