General Comments
I bought the Braun SP3270 Epilator - EasyStart recently, having never tried one before, as I was fed up of shaving. I picked this epilator mainly because it comes with an 'easystart' epilator head, which is ideal for beginners. It also comes with a cooling gel pouch which can be frozen in order to numb the area beforehand.
I find this epilator incredibly easy to use, so I was extremely pleased. All you have to do is ensure the area is clean and dry beforehand, and then you are ready! (Exfoliating beforehand is also useful to avoid annoying ingrowing hairs!). On first use, I used the gel pouch to cool the area but only use it now on my underarms. To epilate, just guide the epilator over the area, keeping the skin taut at all times. Dont be fooled- it is a little uncomfortable at first, but bearable. Following epilation, I always moisturise the area and have had no problems.
The epilator also comes with a brush for easy cleaning. The one I bought is a 'special edition' friends version, which includes an extra epilator head, so you can share it.
Overall I love this epilator and in my opinion, it's the best beauty item I have bought for a long time! Hair grows back fine and lighter, which is great compared to the stubble you get when shaving!
