Colibry Reviews 

I bought the Colibry depilatory device to remove some arm hair. I've always been super self conscious about my arm hair as, although its pale blonde and very fine, it grows quite long and there is a lot of it so rather than shaving and potentially having thicker regrowth I thought this might be useful.

OK. First up, it is quite painful. But compared with waxing and electric epilation it was manageable. It also takes longer than these methods. The other annoyance is the threads popping out of the device but it's easily fixed.

However, I'm really happy with the results, rather than completely removing the hair, this allows me to thin it out leaving a more natural look.

Regrowth is slow and takes a couple of weeks to appear.

The hair that grows back is finer and weaker and my skin never gets irritated which it does with nearly every other method.

I'd happily recommend it to any other hairy armed girlies. Can't offer any advice on other body parts.

I rated the Colibry epilator three stars because there are definitely pros and cons.

Pros: It works. Totally works. My skin is easily irritated and this removes the hair completely without red bumps or irritation. It takes a while for that hair to grow back. I thought I might end up pinching skin or hurting myself, but that's pretty hard to do with this thing.

Cons: It hurts. Seriously. Maybe my skin is just really sensitive, but it is not quick and easy for me. It takes me a while to do just part of my leg and it takes a couple of strong drinks to go with it. It does a small section at a time, vs waxing where you get more out at once.

Overall I think it is a great invention and I am liking it for small patches of thicker hair that I can remove for longer periods of time. However, it's not something I look forward to using.

The epilator doesn't work well for me.. . When i received it the threads were a little ruined so I thought that it wasn't working because of that, so i changed them. Since that it started working but it takes of very few hair, only the thick ones, and it also makes the follicles turn red. I don't think it is worth it..

I have been always using electric epilator (silkepil type) and, twice, three times a year, professional waxing. Now with the beautician prices going up, I have been looking for a valid alternative. Colibry seems to do the job perfectly! Removes hair quite quickly, with no electricity involved. It takes a bit to get used to the right movements, I am not yet particularly expert in treating the "softer" parts of the leg (inner thigh, the back of the knee) but the rest is quick and almost painless. The price of the kit (epilator plus spare threads) costs the same as a single visit to a beautician. Totally reccomend!

Colibry is a thread epilator, very good for people like me, who have big troubles with waxing and traditional epilation techniques. It's not too fast but it avoids irritation and definitely helps, also big money save. I guess its best use is between one waxing session and another to remove the growing hair (for people who can use wax!), otherwise it still helps A LOT! Definitely reccomended.

Its amazing. The best epilator i have used❣ keep up with the good work❣ maybe a sugestion: make the handles from bamboo?🤔

I simply love it, I am so happy I have shopped it, I finally found the epilation tool I was waiting for, especially for my face area, to ditch everything else!! You just need a bit of practice with it, but it is so efficient and it works as if you were just out of your beautician! Don't hesitate to shop it as I did, I wish I had bought it before!!!!

I've been using Colibry for almost two years now and it feels so much better than any electric epilator I've had before. I don't enjoy waxing and definitely don't want to shave my legs, so depilation is a great option for me.
I find Colibry easy to use and even changing threads is not complicated.
Now I'm looking forward to trying out the new scrub soap, as well.

Pros : easy to use, mild pain, no sticky mess. My skin felt smooth and not as irritated as after a waxing.
Cons : it takes a long time to remove the hair on a large surface. Some spots are hard to reach with two hands, you might need someone else to help you. Great for touch ups.

It is not working! The hair is not removed from the root, but it is ripped. Thus the stem remains. Plus it's very painful and almost impossible to work with only one hand.
