Braun Silk-epil Xpressive 7781
The Braun Silk-epil Xpressive 7781 is one of the most popular battery-operated, variable-speed epilators on the market, and by looking at it's impressive list of features coupled with all the impeccable customer ratings and reviews, it's not hard to see why.
One of the main selling aspects as far as all epilators go are the different methods and technologies each implement in an attempt to reduce the amount of discomfort that is endured during the epilation process. Some methods are more successful than others, but few or none more so than with the addition of being able to epilate when your skin is wet - for instance, in the bath or shower - like you can with the Braun Silk-epil Xpressive 7781.
This epilator is naturally cordless (since running it from the mains whilst near water is probably a very bad idea!) so there's no need to worry about getting all taffled or having cold wires touching your skin as you try to navigate those hard-to-reach places. Approximately 35-40 minutes of run time can be expected from a 1 hour charge.

The design of the epilation head on the Braun Silk-epil Xpressive 7781 is such that it's pivoting, allowing it to better adapt to your body contours. Couple this with the inbuilt SmartLight Lens which allows you to see more clearly those short, finer hairs and you can be sure that everything that could give you a better, smoother epilation has been thought of and included in this particular model.
Two separate sized epilation heads are included in the box - one that is small and one that is large. The small one is ideal for individuals new to epilation (and thus will probably feel more discomfort at first) as well as for extremely sensitive areas such as under the arms, since it removes less hairs per stroke. The larger head is more useful for those who are more experienced with epilation as it can remove more hairs in less time and with less effort. In addition to this there is a shaving head attachment included as well.
