A good epilator for removing unwanted hair at home is an electric device equipped with special tweezers. They grab the hairs and pull them out. For the bikini area, epilators should be equipped with a special attachment that reduces discomfort. In addition, such epilators must remove even ultra-fine and small hairs so that the skin is perfectly smooth. Modern epilators are produced in a waterproof case and are powered by a battery for convenient use in the bathroom with special creams.
We have prepared an honest rating of the best epilators for the intimate area (deep bikini). Let's compare popular models and look at their advantages and disadvantages.
The rating of epilators was compiled by active participants of the popular women's forum, including cosmetologist Maria Shipareva.

Efficiency
Epilators from both manufacturers, powered by mains and batteries, perfectly remove the smallest hairs. Recognized as the best in these groups: from the mains - Braun 5780 and Philips BRE225, from the battery - Braun 9-969 Silk-epil 9 and Philips BRE605 Satinelle Advanced - must eliminate them with a minimum length of half a centimeter.
Braun 5780
Philips BRE225
Braun 9-969 Silk-epil
Philips BRE605 Satinelle Advanced
Brown devices actually cope with this task in the normal depilation mode, without additional effort and repetitions. According to reviews, this goal can be easily achieved using not only devices from line 9, but also 3, 5, 7.
Philips also removes hair efficiently: from the root, without breaking it. But often when using devices for complete hair removal you will have to:
- repeatedly run the epilator over individual areas of the body;
- change the angle of the device;
- leave problem areas for improvement with a razor or other means.

Causes
Differences in efficiency are associated with the characteristics of epilators:
- hair removal system - tweezers or disk;
- number of tweezers or disks in devices;
- the area of the nozzle and the speed of its rotation.
The Brown company uses tweezers: hairs are removed by pulling them out with many mini-tweezers. Philips uses discs that pry up the hair, twist it and remove it from the root. The tweezer option is considered more effective: the device is in direct contact with the hair, immediately removing it from the skin at the base.
Manufacturer Brown equips epilators with a significant number of tweezers. Thus, devices of the same class have a fundamentally different number of them: Braun 5780 Silk-epil - 40, Philips BRE225 - only 20. The best option of Philips BRE605 still does not reach the Braun indicator, having only 32 disks.
The area of the removal nozzle of any Brown epilator is larger than that of Philips. In addition, it is constantly being improved by the manufacturer: the 9 series is 40% better than the 7. The rotation speed of the browns is higher, which increases their useful effect.
How to choose and what to pay attention to?
When choosing a Philips epilator, it is important to evaluate the main characteristics of the devices, which determine performance, functionality and ease of use.:
- principle of operation - the Philips line includes models with tweezers and rotating disks;
- power type - models run on battery or mains power;
- head design - devices are equipped with a fixed and floating head, providing faster hair removal;
- number of speeds - models have 1-3 speed modes;
- number of nozzles - varies from 1 to 8;
- additional options - wet hair removal due to the waterproof housing, backlight for comfortable use of the device, massage head to reduce pain;
- equipment - some devices are equipped with a storage case, as well as a brush for cleaning the nozzle.
Duration of hair removal and regularity of charging
The time spent on the procedure is directly related to the efficiency of the epilator. Many girls in the reviews note that Brown copes with depilation (legs, arms, deep bikini, armpits) in 20-30 minutes. The same figure with Philips increases to at least 40 minutes.
Charging time for popular battery devices: Braun 9-969 – hour, Philips BRE605 – 1.5 hours. The battery life of each is 40 minutes. It turns out that Brown can be used more often and charged less often.
Backlight
Models of Brown epilators, starting from the third series (for example, SE 3420, Silk-epil 3 3-273, 3270), are backlit, which reduces the possibility of missing hairs. The fifth - separate, the seventh and ninth series - all without exception. This means that by purchasing even a budget version of a third-generation epilator, you can get a device with the desired property.
Philips epilators are equipped with a backlight function, starting with the latest (sixth) series: BRE 605, 611, 620. Others do not have it.
