About this item

Baby Smooth Pits
4 Stars
Baby Smooth Pits
I did a lot of reading into epilation before I bought the Philips Satinelle. I exfoliated and shaved several days before the first use (and exfoliated again minus shaving the day of first use.)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 successfully rid the hair from both arm pits in one sitting. From the reviews I read I have to say it was not nearly as painful as I thought. It stung a little afterwards but within 30 minutes my underarms had no red bumps and were so smooth! I did not use deodorant for a day to be on the safe side. I also did not have discomfort at work that evening. The following day I used deodorant and everything was fine. Not having shaving irritation is wonderful! I have had to shave my armpits TWICE in a day that's how fast the hair has come back. Once a day minimum. No more! It's been 3 days and my armpits are smooth as a baby's bottom literally!Onto legs:I have attached a picture for you to see. 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. It took much longer than anticipated to get both legs (knee down) complete and I still could not get all the hairs. I'm still learning so I won't let one time discourage me. Some say those bumps lasted for days and even weeks of irritation and leading to ingrown hairs but this is false for me. My legs did have the same light sting afterwards that they do after shaving with a razor. Used my moisturizer and the sting was calmed within 10 min. Thankfully the next morning my legs are almost fully cleared! However not all the hair is gone, so my legs aren't baby smooth. It's definitely a learned procedure. Skin comes in all types of sensitivity levels so I agree that this form of hair removal isn't for everyone. For lack of a better word it's pretty "rewarding" if it works!! Yay smooth arm pits!!Left most image in my picture shows my leg after I soothed it in cold water, you DO NOT use water while you are using this epilator!UPDATE: I love this thing. Did some more reading, hair and skin grows in rounds and layers so it's nearly impossible to get my legs completely smooth,however I used it several more days in a row and got my legs satisfactory. A week later and they still feel/look less than 1 day razor shaving stubble. THE RED BUMPS WERE ONLY A "FIRST TIME EPLIATING THAT AREA" IRRITATION. No red bumps on all subsequent rounds. Used on inner thighs near bikini area and have had way more success than a razor. After 24 hours red bumps gone and no shaving irritation. My armpits are still smooth! Not having shaving irritation or fast hair regrowth is amazing. 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? Until you get in the water and your legs are burning because you shaved either the day before or the day of? NOT ANY MORE! Once your legs are used to it the faster speed is no longer intimidating. Extremely happy with how this epilator has worked out in so many ways!

5.0 out of 5 stars Totally worth it. Have been using it for 6 months and I'll never go back to shaving.
Reviewed in the United States on December 24, 2018
First off, after arriving this sat on my bathroom counter for 3 days. Why? I was scared of it.

I finally thought I would test it out. I wasn't even fully committed. I was wearing jeans that I rolled up a bit to see how badly it would hurt. Surprisingly, not as bad as I anticipated. I ended up changing into shorts and using it on both legs that night. Some spots hurt more than others (shins were bad, I have more thick hairs on this area). The back of my legs hardly hurt at all (fewer, thinner hairs back there). I missed some spots, but overall was really pleased with the results:
- the look of my legs - mostly hairless, not "just shaved" smooth but they looked like I could go out in shorts without getting stares.
- level of pain - not that bad. On particularlt painful spots I would do some then move away and come back later.
- irritation - a little pink on my shins, but not bad at all.
- speed of use - overall I was done with round 1 in 15 min.

I bought this because my legs are uber sensitive. I shave, even with a new razor, with the grain, using whatever lotions and potions and I end up with red spots and generally itchy legs for a week. I find it hard to convince myself to shave. So I just don't shave. My boyfriend says he doesn't mind me looking like a sasquatch, but that is just because he is a beautiful human being.

I waited to see how irritated they would be the next day and all the pink was gone. I did have to do touch ups, but I found I was moving too quickly the first time and was scared to touch the machine to my legs. Round 2 was relatively painless. I wore a skirt 4 days later and still showed off my relatively hairless legs to my lady coworkers.

After a week there was no sign of ingrown hairs, another fear of mine. I did another minor touch up, which for me was just getting hair I missed the first time and this was by no fault of the machine.

I have attempted bikini line and arm pits... These may take more time. I did about 1/3 of each arm pit in the first try yesterday. It hurt. Red spots where the hairs were pulled out. I didn't use deodorant yesterday, just coconut oil. Today the irritation is gone and I will likely try round 2 today. This means that it didn't hurt enough to turn me off of the idea completely.

Complaints other reviewers had that almost made me not buy:
1. Broke after a few months - with these results, even if it did break after a few months, I would just buy it again. I hate shaving. My legs get irritated and they are just spikey and prickly after 2 days. This took hardly any time and 2 weeks later I still feel comfortable wearing shorts in public.
2. Loud - dude... No louder than my electric tooth brush and much quieter than a hair dryer. Not sure why this was a valid complaint.
3. Legs aren't as smooth as shaving - true, but trade offs are worth it. I can ignore my legs for over a week at a time and no more scratching itchy post shave legs. I do think my legs will get smoother with time due to growth cycles and I anticipate finer regrowth. Even if they don't, I'm completely satisfied currently.
4. Pain and irritation - varies by location. You don't have to "power through" and finish everything at once. It is a prolonged pain, not a quick, rip it off, type of waxing pain. All of my irritation was gone by the next day and I switched areas when one spot for too intense.
5. Ingrown hairs - this was more a product warning than a complaint. No issues here.

I included a picture. A lazy one, I know, I didn't want to get up from the couch, but I prefer pictures on reviews I read. I haven't used it on my legs at all in about 5 days, they still look great.

Update: I used this about once a week on underarms and legs. It doesn't get you as hairless as shaving, but the regrowth is so fine it is difficult to see. I make sure to touch up (about 3 min per leg) before wearing a skirt or shorts. Almost painless on my legs now, though the first time was rough it was worth it. The underarms still hurt, but it's manageable. This has been sturdy and reliable no complaints. I am tempted to buy one for every woman I know to free them from shaving.
