 The Ouch Factor April 22, 2008

Years ago, I read a French feminist writer who asked: "Why aren't women allowed to keep their natural body hair, as men are?" Now, after many years of shaving, plucking, using depilatories, etc., I wonder if maybe our (slightly) hairy French sisters know something we don't.
But I digress.
I tried out (with some trepidation) the various attachments on this grooming system yesterday. (I strongly encourage anyone who is using it to CAREFULLY FOLLOW INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE.)
Here's what I found:
--The unit takes almost the full ten hours (stated in the instructions) to charge. Once charged, you have the option of cordless grooming.
--The eyebrow trimmer gives a nice, neat trim. Truthfully, my brows are sort of well-shaped and tame to begin with, but for those with unruly brows, this might be just what's needed for a neater look.
--The micro trimmer does a nice job with that peach-fuzzy stuff between the eyebrows, and can also be used to contour the brows. (Be CAREFUL! It removes EVERY hair it touches.)
--The micro shaver cleanly removes stubble along the bikini line, and it's painless.
--The epilator. Ouch. Ladies, this hurts, period. The instructions say you'll experience "discomfort" that will "lessen with subsequent uses." (I doubt it.)
The ouch factor of the epilator kept me from giving this appliance 5 stars. That, and the fact that though I'm well groomed, I'm not so compulsive about hair-removal that I'd use all the attachments.
For example, I didn't use the precision comb to "style" the bikini line. As in (from the instructions) a "template in a heart-shape." However, for those who are into this kind of personal style, you have the tool you need with this device.
The final item included with this system is Bliss body butter. This smelled good, was non-greasy, and left a smooth finish to the skin.
So that's how it worked for me, ladies. Bikini season is almost here, so if you're looking for a good four-star hair removal system, I think this is it. If you don't mind a considerable ouch factor, then you've got a five-star product.
 Bliss-ful Grooming System! April 29, 2008

I normally don't review these types of personal products, but I received this in advance for the specific purpose of reviewing. I'm so glad I did, though, because I love this product! It's a versatile system and can be used for legs, eyebrows and just about anywhere you would want to use this-- in addition to the bikini area.
This is rechargeable and runs for quite a while before needing recharging. The ONLY drawback I've found with this is that as soon as it's plugged in, the light is green. And, when it is done charging, the light is still green. You cannot tell if it's fully charged or not, and the directions state to charge it fully. However, even though this isn't ideal, I don't think it's a huge drawback, since it probably only takes a few hours at most to fully charge.
Now, to the product itself! This comes with several different attachments. One is a full-size shaver. You can use this alone or add the comb attachment over this. If you use the comb attachment over this, you have five length adjustment choices. There is also a micro shaver which you can also use alone or add a comb attachment. This comb attachment has 3 length adjustments. There is a micro trimmer for very difficult spots. And, there is an epilator attachment which pulls the hair out from the root.
In the past, these types of epilators were painful, because they grabbed several hairs at a time. This one isn't too bad, though, as long as you hold your skin taught. To be sure, I didn't use this one in an area that I thought might be painful, though-- I was too much of a p_____(excuse the pun). Still, I tried this on my lower legs. I had just shaved a day or two prior, so the hair was too short to catch with each pass-- but when the hairs did catch, it pulled them right out without any discomfort at all.
The shavers and combs worked fantastically. Very quick and easy. You are really done in no time at all-- within just a few minutes, you're as bare as you choose!
Ready to try everything, I used the eyebrow comb and trimmed my brows to a uniform length. Very fast. It was so fun, in fact, that I was sorry that I had no more hair to do-- I thought of enlisting my husband and use the Bliss-Philips Bikini Perfect Deluxe Spa At Home Grooming System on him, but I decided talking him into it wouldn't be worth the effort. Plus, I like his hair.
So, I do think this is a five-star product. Mine came fully charged, with a small drawstring bag, and with some sample products.
 Is the Bliss-Philips bikini perfect deluxe, really bliss? April 24, 2008

I was quite excited to finally get a multi-purpose grooming tool for women. After all, most of the electric groomers out their are aimed toward men. What a nice change. Once I got the item I couldn't wait to try it. Well most of it, anyway. The looks of the epilator scared me. After spending about 5 minutes getting the packaging open I took it all out, gave it a good once over, and plugged it in to charge. That was when I had a problem with the item. For some reason the plug just would not stay in the groomer. There is only one way to put the plug into this item, and it just kept falling out. I finally was able to get it to stay after about a 20 minute fight with it, but I had to make sure it was where it would not get bumped since the cord would have fallen out yet again.
After the 10 hour charge time I decided to give it a try in the shower, to see if it would really hold up to the water. To my surprise it did. I tried the precision trimmer with the precision comb attachment first and I was pleasantly surprised with the results. It was so much easier than the razors that I am accustomed to. Plus, no nicks or cuts, which was great. Then I decided to use the micro shaver which was a little disappointing. If you are going to use this attachment I would recommend that the precision trimmer is used with no comb attached to it. The shaver just does not work very well if the hairs are too long, even if the comb was set to the lowest setting. Because of my apprehensiveness about the epilator I decided to use it on my legs instead of a more tender area, and came to find out it was a good choice to have tried on my legs since I found it to be quite painful. For women who are accustomed to waxing I am sure it would be no problem, but for me it was more then a little discomfort. I don't think I will be using that attachment again. The eyebrow comb and the micro trimmer work great. It was so nice to get my eyebrows just how I wanted them without the pain of plucking out hair by hair. Just make sure you have a steady hand when using the micro trimmer.
The lemon/sage body butter smelled wonderful and was a great moisturizer. I would definitely be willing to buy more of that. I had to skip on the ingrown hair eliminating pad since it does have alpha and glycolic acid in it, which is a big no no for sensitive skin. Overall, I would say the Bliss/Philips Bikini Perfect Deluxe is a solid product, but just a little overpriced for my liking.
Effective hair removal system April 24, 2008

To be honest, I'm not very hairy, not really anywhere - but bikini-wise, yep, I could use a little help esp. now that summer draws nigh. Cleaning up my bikini area has always been a dicey proposition at best (like it hurts, it itches, etc., etc.)
It really was just easier to get a more conservative bathing suit than to remove the excess follicles in the nether area.
The Bliss-Philips Bikini Perfect has a ton of extra implements to remove hair just about everywhere (kind of like one would have done at a spa, and that's no coincidence.) My issue is that since I'm not too hairy, most of those add-ons are just a waste.
But I figured it couldn't hurt to try the bikini-perfect device. If it didn't work, well, I still had enough time to regrow what was removed (and I still have the conservative bathing suit!)
Well, surprisingly, I got a very smooth shave with no razor burn, no itching, and no stubble. Maybe I'm not the best test case because I'm not very hirsute, but then I am very prone to bad side effects of bikini hair removal.
For the first time since I started "neatening" up that area, I suffered absolutely no problems. Just smooth, soft skin, and no pain.
That's an excellent result. If you're hairier than me - which would pretty much be everybody - you'll love this device. You'll also get a lot of use out of the eyebrow hair remover, the trimmer, etc.
I'd just lay off the epilator, bikini-wise or eyebrow-wise. That is more pain than anyone wants to suffer for the sake of hairlessness!
Many tools, none of them completely outstanding! May 13, 2008

Philips has come up with a nice all in one product. It has a precision trimmer head, a micro trimmer, a mini shaver and a mini epilator.
However, I think that the only tool I will use the most is the precision trimmer head which is why the product gets 3 stars for price-value factor. It had a comb like attachment that fits over it and gives you 5 lengths of hair to choose from. However, its hard to actually trim the hair neatly to precisely the same length using the comb attachment. Although the shaver is very ergonomic in shape, it still does a job no better than my older battery operated Panasonic ES246AC Bikini Shaper and Trimmer. I also prefer the convenience of batteries when traveling, as it is small and compact and does not need a charger. The smaller length of the Panasonic trimmer makes it easier for me to control while using it in the bikini area.
I found the micro trimmer for eyebrows to be only moderately useful as I have very light eyebrows and can use a mini-scissor with more precision. I couldn't find the comb attachment for this trimmer in my box and ended up taking off more eyebrow than I wanted to, so read the instructions more carefully.
As for the epilator, it's the older design of epilator that has rotating metal discs that pinch or tweeze out individual hairs by the roots. It's too painful for facial or bikini hair and too tiny to use on your legs and arms as you'll take forever with a lot more pain. My Braun 5270 Silk-epil X'elle Body System Epilator has a different design and is far less painful than this epilator. This one is good for use on a few stray hairs here and there. Again if you're removing facial hair, tweezers will do the job more precisely for 1-2 hairs and facial waxing strips like are far more efficient and painless for any other facial hair removal.
The shaver head did not get all the hair but is ok if you need to get into "tighter" spots. I don't expect to use this attachment too much, when I need a closer shave the precision trimmer without the comb attachment works better for me.
Overall, the Bliss Philips Bikini System has many attachments but if you are basically looking for only a bikini trimmer you may want to spend less and go with Panasonic ES246AC Bikini Shaper and Trimmer or Remington BKT-1000 Trim & Shape Bikini Trimmer.
