Braun Epilator Lady Shaver – LS 5160 R Review

Braun Epilator Lady Shaver – LS 5160 R Review

Hello Beauties!

Today, I am reviewing one of the products from Braun. It is an epilator. When I was in Japan, I had a very hard time due to lack of body care services like waxing and other grooming services. If at all anybody offered grooming services, the prices were sky rocketing. I decided that it was time that I bought an epilator, so that I could do all these things at home. I decided to go for Braun as it is a very reputed and trusted brand all over world. I did one mistake, instead of buying an epilator, I bought “Lady Shaver.”  Read on to see if I am satisfied with this one or not.

My Experience with Braun Epilator Lady Shaver – LS 5160 R:

I do not like to shave my body.  In short, I do not like the feel of razors. I usually go for waxing. This time, I could not find a waxing option, so bought a Braun Silk-epil.  I did not know that I was buying a shaver at the store.  I came back, used it on my body, and it did not pain at all.  Then, I checked the box and “Lady Shaver” was written on it.  I was disappointed. I was worried about the roots of my hair. After shaving, hair becomes very hard. However, when I saw my roots, they were very soft and did not feel like I had shaved.  It is very easy to clean. The attachments are very easy to use. They fit effortlessly.

It makes a loud vibrating sound that is annoying. You can also hear it making the chopping sound of hair, like a grass cutter :0

It does not have speed options. It just comes with an “on/off” button.  That’s a con because one cannot choose speed accordingly. It has different options for legs and for the rest of the body. Frankly, I did not find any difference while using it.

Personally, I think the epilator is a better option. However, this does its job perfectly. It saves a lot of time and money too. Therefore, I am happy 🙂

Pros of Braun Epilator Lady Shaver – LS 5160 R:

  • Easy to use and clean.
  • Makes skin smooth.
  • Does not make hair roots hard.
  • Big time saver.
  • Slows the growth of hair.
  • Good for sensitive skin.

Cons of Braun Epilator Lady Shaver – LS 5160 R:

  • Makes loud noise.
  • No speed options.

Overall, I would say it is a great shaver, makes skin smooth and does not make hair hard. The only problem is that for a shaver, it is expensive. Any razor can do the same job. People who do not like to epilate (it can be painful), can go for this one.

  1. I think i need to buy this ASAP. Till date im using a proper braun epilator and it pains like hell. Fear of the pain, I often skips the procedure and goes hairy..:(:(:( and i have an odd problem after i delivered my baby, i had strong black hairs on my chin, which will not fade even after bleaching for 3 hopurs (yes i had tried). So i have the option of shaving, fax waxing or epilating. shaving i preffer the least on my face. so i went for face waxing and the out come was worst as i got pimples all over the place. so i bought epilator, i must admit it leaves me beard free for a week, but the texture of my skin has become worst and hair growth didnt increase but didnt reduce also..!!:(

    1. Hi I know waxing on face or any other body part except legs,arms & Underarms doesn’t suit everybody. I got my back waxed before my wedding and i had horrible pimples for at least couple of months then scarring. So, I know what you are talking about. Do try it.

  2. I own Braun Silk-epil 7681. I use it to epilate my legs and arms n sometimes my stomach. Ppl often complain about the pain at the beginning but I felt none to slight pain that too only on my arms. I love using it. Now I dont have to worry abt any salon appointments and I always have smooth legs n arms. It did cost me 7K bt its totally worth it 🙂
    One more thing, I exfoliate my body twice a week to avoid ingrowns n I am left with absolutely smooth skin 🙂

  3. I use the epilator and honestly, I dont feel the pain anymore. The only thing that i have to really take care of is the exfoliation. Otherwise i am so happy with the mess free hair removal option. 😀 Glad it worked for you. I prefer shaving for underarms . 🙂

  4. i use Panasonic Soie and compltly cmfrtable i m with it….i doesn’t hurt and absltly easy to use with speed options n less noise……nyc review fr further buying..thnkx N
