    They have some in TK Maxx. I can't remember the make but it was a well known brand and they were half the RRP.

    Well, I wouldn't normally recommend the make I have but on legs its fine (just would not ever recommend it for under arms or bikini! or face- it has a facial application too!!! scary at the idea as it made me bleed alot when I did my under arms).

    I have the Braun Silk Epil and its fine for legs, thogh don't forget to exfoliate often after use as it can/will result on ingrowing hairs if you don't.

    I have the braun one too, its the one you can use in teh shower/bath too. I love it, but I agree with jenniewb, you have to exfoliat regularly or your skin has loads of ingrown hairs. It depends if you can be bothered with the upkeep!
  • I've got the Braun Silk Epil and agree with posters above that you have to exfoliate regularly. I only use it on my legs as it's just too painful to use it elsewhere! It hurts a little to begin with but if you keep it up, it doesn't hurt that much after a while. I think your skin toughens up and gets used to it! :)
  • My OH wants one for her Christmas (not for me honest) and on looking through Amazon, the Braun Silk-epil (as mentioned above) gets good reviews. Amazon seem to have the best price for the wet/dry model, but it's still £95.
