Amazon slashes £100 price on Braun’s ‘life-changing’ women’s hair removal gadget ahead of Prime Day

The hair removal gadget that women are calling “life-changing” is now more than half off on Amazon, so if you’ve been thinking about trying an electric razor, now’s the time to ditch the disposables. The Braun Silk-épil 9 Women’s Epilator shaves, trims and epilates for “long-lasting smooth skin.”

Amazon is currently offering the hair removal gadget for £79.99, down from £179.99, saving shoppers a massive £100. You can buy it direct from Braun for £99.99 or from Very for £91.99, making Amazon the cheapest place to buy an epilator.



The Braun shaver and trimmer can be used on dry or wet skin, with the latter minimizing the pain the gadget can cause when removing thicker hairs. The set includes a regular shaver head, a bikini trimmer tool, and a cooling glove to soothe skin irritations.

The gadget has micro-grip tweezers technology that gives you smooth skin for weeks and has a wide, rotating head that makes hair removal easy and efficient. A handy Smartlight reveals the finest hairs to make sure you don’t miss a single one, and SensoSmart technology tells you if you’re pressing too hard.

The Braun Silk-épil 9 Women’s Epilator is an Amazon’s Choice product with an average rating of 4.5 out of five. Although some customers have commented that the gadget causes pain, one buyer gave it five stars and said: “Best epilator I’ve had in over a decade – I’d give it a 10 if that was possible! Removes dark, coarse hair so quickly and slows down its growth. I’ve had another epilator costing over £100 and it only worked on very fine, blonde hair… but this one is life-changing.”

A second commented: “I’ve been thinking about buying this for a long time and I regret waiting so long. I have fair skin and dark hair – the worst combination for the summer months. Normally I would have to shave my legs at least every other day, but on the second day I would feel self-conscious… It’s been nine days since I’ve used this device and despite having to do a few things I didn’t do, my legs are still hairless, which is unheard of for me… If you’re thinking about buying this device and you’re struggling with body hair, I recommend it 100%. It’s changed my life.”


A third wrote: “I ordered this for my wife. She loves it! She used it on her legs in the shower so there was minimal pain. Very slow growth compared to shaving and waxing. In some areas the hair didn’t grow back at all. Overall my wife is happy and recommends it.”

You can buy the Braun Silk-épil 9 Epilator for Women on Amazon for £79.99 for a limited time. You can buy it direct from Braun for £99.99 or from Very for £91.99.
