I want to try this, but honestly I'm scared. How would you rate the pain on a 1-10 scale?

It's good, braun has the best epilators. The only thing is that in last products it has a razor and you could change it also put and take off accessories and in this model just de exfoliant stuff. For me I give it a 7. Good luck.

I've had kidney stones, so that might skew my perception, but I guess I would rate it at a 4 or 5. It IS painful, but in an annoying sort of way. Just imagine a bunch of little rotating tweezers attempting to pull out your hairs, and sometimes failing to do so.

I would say a 8-9 at first. It gets a lot better with continual use and getting used to it. I would say it's a 3-4 for me on pain now.

If you're starting with a full field of leg hair, I would rate the pain a 7-8. After that, the hair grows back at different rates, so overall there is less plucking which means less pain (I'd rate that a 2-3). On top of that, I do believe you build some tolerance to the discomfort over time. My suggestion would be to wax first (same pain, but much shorter duration), and then maintain with your epilator--it won't seem nearly as scary. Hope this helps! :)

I actually don't know. Your legs are hanging, totally straight up side down. Not sure if it would be be painful.

On a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being hard i would say about a 5. Not hard to use. Hard to configure!

It's pretty smooth, but you do pump it up incrementally. If you went slowly and carefully I think you'd be alright.

That sounds terrifying.... I didn't notice because I tried it once and it was horrible. I threw up.

I wouldn't suggest it only because you will have to apply pressure and that would require you to be in some fairly uncomfortable positions. It works great but it can be painful. I wouldn't want you to further your injury.

It's tolerable! You can turn it down in areas that may snap to much. For instance, my under arms are sensitive so I put it at a level 3 and I've had good results. No pain no gain.

Hm, let's see. I never used it on the highest setting because it was too hot. I never went higher than 4 or 5. Mine goes up to H which is one more than 7. For judgement purposes, I have quite high pain tolerance, I can put my hand into near boiling water and take something out. I don't use tongs when making sausage, I just turn them with my fingers. That said, my back is slightly less high tolerance. I tried it with my under the tongue thermometer and the heating pad on 7 (it's working again). The thermometer shut off at 110F, so I used a meat thermometer wrapped in the heating pad. I got 141F.Thanks for asking. It made me get the pad out and try it and now it's working again.

Don't attempt it. I accidentally bumped myself with it one time on my hand.....stunned me all the way to my armpit in a split second!

Not terrible. It's more like a strong vibration. So for a 10 year old, it's funny. For me, I didn't want to try it more than once because it just felt weird. But the kids thought it was hilarious.

It'll sting for sure. Bare skin at point blank is gonna surprise you a bit.... From a distance it's barely a bother.

Well I will say yes but to proceed with caution. Start out at a low setting just to see how it feels and if you are comfortable turn it up a little. I by no means am a professional just been using something simular for awhile.

Pressure is not strong, but it is acceptable to me. I would say 3 on a scale of 1 to 5

Hello Dalia, there is a slight sting associated with it, but no real pain according to my 13 yr old son. His 10 yr old sister has been playing with him. She is ok if he uses it on her as well!

Be extremely careful. I ended up with second-largest burns on the back of both thighs...the most painful thing I ever experienced. Took weeks to heal.

It's rated for 250. I don't see why it wouldn't work fine with a little more weight. The weight rating has nothing to do with anle pain. It is well made for the money.

It wouldn't hurt to try. If you are doing it for medicinal purposes I would try it without the heat. Please post how it works out.
