 First Timer, Slightly ImpressedDec 30, 2011
By M. Vanco
I bought the Panasonic ES-WD51-P Epiglide Ladies Wet Dry Epilator on Amazon using my husband's account because he has prime, but I wanted to review it on mine.
I have been looking for an alternative to shaving for quite some time but had never found anything that got results. For reference I am in my 30's and have very thick hair. In a word ITALIAN. I was an hour late to my own wedding because the hair stylist was not prepared for the thickness of my hair.
I had heard of epilators before, my mother would tell me horror stories of my aunt and the Epilady. So I had dismissed them early on. I tried Nair, and found despite horrible chemical burns the hair was still there. So I gave up..
Then one day I was looking for a new car... Ha, How does this play in? Well they left me alone in a room with a TV that was playing "The View", the kicker is that there were only guys working.. Anyway, they were featuring this thing I later found out has been out a while called the "No, No" I was very intrigued. So when I went home I looked it up, and it costs $250... Yikes... I did lots of research on it and it does seem like a good product but I do NOT have that kind of money to blow on hair removal. As I was watching videos and reading, girls were saying they used Epilation along side the "No, No". That is when I started looking at Epilation.
I researched what to look for and read reviews. I decided to go with a cordless wet/dry. Out of those the Panasonic ES-WD51-P Epiglide Ladies Wet Dry Epilator had the highest rating. So I bought it.
Everything I have read has mixed reviews on how much it is going to hurt your first time using it. I have had multiple surgeries, I had a 8lb 9oz child with not anesthetic. I pluck, I tweeze, I have multiple tattoos and piercings. I am not a wuss. I have never had my legs waxed but heck, the pain lasts a few minutes and you're good right? If you have had your legs waxed you will be much better prepared than the rest of us I guarantee. For those or you that haven't I will warn you, all the pain you think is nothing does not prepare you for epilation... Your results may very of course but here is my account.
I charged up the Panasonic ES-WD51-P Epiglide Ladies Wet Dry Epilator and then turned it on. It sounds like some horrible grinding weed whacker you are supposed to put on your legs!!??! Now you are tense and you know it is gonna hurt.
TIP 1~ Start by placing it somewhere there is no hair then sneak up on a hairy spot. My hair was very short in my opinion, too short for waxing but PLENTY (read too long) for epilation. I read somewhere that you should shave and then start trying to epilate the next day. Skeptical me thought that would be ridiculous the hair would be much too short. Experienced me wishes I would have listened.
TIP 2~ Shave the area the day before
So I set the roaring epilator to my foot and sneak towards the hair on my ankle... And it rips the first few hairs from my leg. To those of you who have tattoos, the pain is similar, kind of like someone is raking a razor blade across your skin. Thousands of fine electrical shocks that will cause your leg to twitch. At this point I yelp and shut it off... And my husband begins laughing...
TIP 3~ Only Epilate while ALONE... Having an audience just makes you more nervous.
So my husband taunts me as I casually turn it on every once in a while and touch it to my leg. Finally I get up, take 3 ibuprofen, and wait for it to kick in.
TIP 4~ If you have ibuprofen or something STRONGER, Take it..
When I felt the medicine had taken effect I took my Panasonic ES-WD51-P Epiglide Ladies Wet Dry Epilator to my bath tub. I ran a pretty hot tub so my legs were covered and began to soak. I read another tip that said the hot water would soften the skin and open the pores making epilation easier. Not sure about all that but being in the hot bath made me feel more relaxed so it was easier.
TIP 5~ Get into a Hot Bath
I decided I would show my husband and I was not coming out without smooth legs. I will not kid you if you go full tilt with long hair like I did it is going to HURT. A LOT. But, after a while it did get easier and has never hurt that bad since. That was the only time I took the Panasonic ES-WD51-P Epiglide Ladies Wet Dry Epilator into the bath or shower. I was able to use it for an hour before it died. I got one whole leg and below the knee on the other. Why one hour? Because I AM apparently a wuss, I tried to go mostly slow and get all the hair. Also it was quite a pain trying to keep a hold of that thing in the tub. The Panasonic ES-WD51-P Epiglide Ladies Wet Dry Epilator is egg shaped and made of smooth hard plastic. Add soap and you may as well trow it across the tub... I think this was a gross over site by the company. Is a little patch on Silicone rubber too much to ask on something that is going to be ripping your hair out and is made to go in the tub? My toothbrush has it for crying out loud.
When I got out of the tub I wanted to continue, but this model will only function cordless. I wanted to plug it in and use it corded but even fully charged this unit will not turn on if the plug is in. Another Con. So with my mostly epilated legs, I went to bed.
TIP 6~ Try to epilate at night, easier to go to bed and heal during the night.
When I awoke I noticed I had an awful lot of stubble like the hairs were broken vs pulled. As I used the epilator I noticed I had a habit of going really fast when it really hurt. If you find yourself doing this.. Go ahead... Once you get that first time over (even if you think you broke more than plucked) it is a cake walk after that. When you do a new spot it will still hurt but you mind knows you can do it. Since that first day I have ran my Panasonic ES-WD51-P Epiglide Ladies Wet Dry Epilator almost every day. Did the first two, skipped one, did two, skipped one. I still have a "stubbly" feeling to my legs but no more so than shaving. There is a lot of bare patches I would not have with shaving. This feeling stays longer than if I had shaved as well. I think that with constant love I will end up with smooth legs that last longer than shaving.
TIP 7~ Epilate every day if you can for the first week. You will continue to get hairs you missed and the regrowth of the broken hairs without the pain of fighting the forest.
This is why I think shaving the day before would have made it easier. You would not have gotten all the hairs at once and may have been much easier (read less painful)
On my last day off I ventured to my armpits. I don't know if they were just less painful because it is tougher skin or I am just used to it now but the arm pits were not that bad.
TIP 8~ DO NOT put deodorant on after epilating your armpits! For once I listened to something I read. My armpits did sting enough after that I was not even tempted to put any on. So I went to bed. Remember, we epilate at night.
The Panasonic ES-WD51-P Epiglide Ladies Wet Dry Epilator does come with a trimmer/ shaver. I tried the trimmer and it is a cheap piece of junk. I did not even bother trying the foil shaver. I am avoiding shaving, it would defeat what I am trying to accomplish epilating. It also came with a "beginner's" epilator guard. I tried it a little but didn't seem to do anything but draw out the pain, I just wanted it over with!
I did try to do the bikini area, while not as painful as the legs, very awkward to try and get what you wanted while avoiding what you didn't. As for between the legs... again not as painful but you must keep the skin tight. Even then I had some bleeding and will not be doing that again.
Final thoughts on the Panasonic ES-WD51-P Epiglide Ladies Wet Dry Epilator
For first timers having the choice between wet/ dry is nice, this epilator does have it's draw backs. Handle design is very slippery and you can only use it cordless. If you can tough it out through the first time you will be rewarded.
Stay Strong Ladies!! And Guys too =P
Edit (2-15-12):
I have since had to stop using the Panasonic ES-WD51-P Epiglide Ladies Wet Dry Epilator on my legs. I still use it for my underarms, but it was wreaking havoc on my legs. Everyone keeps talking about "ingrown hairs" in my experience this meant that I would get bumps where the hair would get balled up inside the follicle and not be able to escape. Little did I know there is another type... Hairs were growing through the top layers of my skin in such a way that my legs looked hairy. Upon further inspection you could tell that the hairs were under the skin and that is why the epilator could not reach them. After a month of shaving and exfoliation they are just now starting to be normal again. This is a great shame. I normally have dry skin and I think this played a big role in this side effect.

 Least Painful Epilator in MarketOct 21, 2011
By Pinky
I've tried so many kind of epilators, Braun, Emjoi, Remington, Philips. I must say this is the least painful epilator I've ever used. There is no epilator without any pain, let's face it, it will hurt, but it is not as bad as waxing. This Panasonic epilator works fast, does not pinch my skin, and do the job at least amount of time. This is the best epilator so far and I will keep using it.

Worth the moneyMay 28, 2010
By Paula S. Cardoso
Got this after my other Panasonic epilator retired. It is perfect. The dual heads make a more efficient epilation. I didn't adapt well doing it at the shower, i felt that the foam didn't help and the water actually made the hairs stuck on the skin. Outside however, it is all I've ever asked for. The shaving head has a little grooming comb that works wonders. Overall I'm suggesting this one to all my friends!

It works great!Jul 02, 2011
By MeKay
I used to have an older model that I loved but finally burned out after many good years. I was really scared to try a new one.
But this one is reall y good! If you've never used this type of machine....well it hurts...don't kid yourself..you are plucking hair out of your body...it's no secret. But...you DO get used to it. For me, a seasoned pro, it only hurts in the areas where the the hair fine. But I don't care because my hairs grow back softer and fewer. I Refuse to go back to shaving. I did once and it made my hair course. After two session with this machine they grew back softer. I highly recommend it.
I did try it wet and it doesn't work as well. But I think it should be used dry anyway which is why I gave it five stars.

awesome little epilatorAug 18, 2011
By marinewife5
I am a 20 yr veteran of using epilators...first one had the spinning coils, 2nd one was an Epilady Descrete...both worked great but as they wore out, noticed decrease in effectiveness. Needed one that was dual voltage so shopped and found this one...it does an awesome job! Don't need the wet feature so can't comment on it...would imagine it's effectiveness is not so good since seems to me water would make hairs stick to skin...but hey! who cares if you're not using that feature.
The product came charged to a certain degree...used it 3-4 times before charging myself. Took couple hours to charge. Love that it is cordless, neither of my first 2 were...great feature. Head swivels, (first 2 didn't) makes for a very smooth "shave" Very quiet compared to my first 2. Shape is very comfortable in the hand...very different from the original Epilady and the Discrete. Tweezer cover snaps on tightly enough to stay. Head removal for cleaning is easy. The carry bag is cheap though...too big actually for the product and it's cord/attachments. It bangs around in the bag so I pack differently. I would definitely buy this again or as a gift for someone I knew uses an epilator.
