Manufacturer's description
SoftPrecision cap
A precision cap placed on the epilator reduces the number of active discs for gentler epilation on sensitive areas such as underarms and bikini line. The row of rubber fingers on the cap massage and stretch the skin to reduce pain even further.

Two speed settings
A selection switch allows you to adjust the epilation speed for thin or thicker hairs.
This Satinelle epilator has two speeds for removing thin or thicker hairs and the BodyTotal system, featuring a precision cap to reduce the number of active discs for gentler epilation of sensitive areas. The rotating discs catch even the shortest hairs.

A Smooth Review
I have used Silk Epil and Philips epilators previously and I can honestly state this Philips Hp6408 is the best yet. It is compact to use and pain free! The price was good compared to the shops. Hope this helps.

Brilliant
Having read so many reviews (and being new to epilating) I was at a loss as to which one I should purchase and being on a budget I knew I definitely didn't want to fork out £69 on something that could easily be a hit or miss. This product works extremely well and I was pleasantly surprised at how effective it worked on short hair (having shaved less than 2 days before). I was a bit scared at first of the 2 speed setting -fast and really fast!! but I found the faster the device worked the more efficient it became. Yes for some the prickling/tweezering sensation can be a little uncomfortable but I found it no different than plucking my eyebrows and a lot less painful than waxing. Just knowing I don't have to keep shaving every day or so is a blessing in itself. I won't need the 90 day money back I'm keeping mine!!

Mixed feelings
I'm 'blessed' with very thick dark hair and sensitive skin on my legs. This is the first epilator I bought, after trying shaving, waxing and various creams, which leave my skin either red and blotchy for DAYS (waxing), with only half the hair gone (creams), or itching - and stubbly the very next day (shaving). I thought I'd try the epilator as well. I didn't expect it to be painless because no method is painless for me. And well, surprise surprise, it did hurt - about the same as waxing, and left my legs equally red and blotchy. The plus was that epilating managed to get rid of shorter hair as well, and I had better control over the whole process (and it's not as messy, of course). It's also great on my arms - here it doesn't hurt, at least, probably because my arms aren't as sensitive and the hair is finer. I can absolutely NOT use it on my underarms though, that's just agony, with blood, even. :( I don't dare use it on my bikini line either.

At first I thought that the pain would go away after a while, because I heard it gets less painful over time, but this is not true in my case. It might feel like it hurts less if you do it regularly, because you probably just get used to it, and there's less hair than the first time. But even after using it on and off for nearly a year, it still hurts like hell, my legs get red and blotchy afterwards and stay that way for more than 16 hours, sometimes over a day even. I guess it's just not the right thing for me. Good for the arms, but that's about it. Don't think I'll be buying another epilator - ever.

After over 10 years of hair removal experience I came to the conclusion that the best thing for thick hair + sensitive skin on legs is a quality men's shaver which provides much closer shave in one stroke than the junk they sell 'designed for women'.
