SoftEpilator Pro Review: A $59 Electric Threading Tool That Promises Painless Hair Removal

A small battery device that twists cotton thread to pull fine hairs from the root, like salon threading. It tidies facial fuzz, but painless is a stretch, and the rechargeable version costs extra.

A decent DIY threading tool for fine facial hair; just not painless. SoftEpilator Pro twists a cotton thread between two wire arms so hairs caught in the twist are pulled out from the root, imitating salon threading.

Our verdict

A decent DIY threading tool for fine facial hair; just not painless. SoftEpilator Pro twists a cotton thread between two wire arms so hairs caught in the twist are pulled out from the root, imitating salon threading. That gives longer-lasting results than shaving with no creams or wax. But "painless" overstates any method that plucks hair, the rechargeable version is a $7 add-on, thread refills are not mentioned, and it suits fine hair better than thick body hair. SoftEpilator Pro scores 3.6 out of 10, held back by its claims.

The short version

  • What it is: an electric cotton-thread hair remover for face and small areas.
  • Price: $59 for one on 6 October 2026, with a five-pack for $149 flagged as the best seller.
  • Best trait: salon-style threading results at home, with no chemicals.
  • Biggest drawback: "painless" is a stretch, and the rechargeable version costs extra.
  • Our score: 3.6 out of 10.

Pros & cons

The pros reflect a workable method. The cons reflect the claims and what is missing.

What we like

  • Removes fine hairs from the root, so results outlast shaving
  • Uses cotton thread, with no creams or chemicals
  • Small and portable
  • Can reach the upper lip, chin and other small areas
  • The seller names a registered company with an address, email and phone number

What we don't

  • "Painless" overstates it: pulling hairs from the root stings, especially at first
  • The rechargeable battery version is a $7 add-on, so the standard model uses disposable batteries
  • The page does not mention thread refills, which wear out
  • Thread-based devices work best on fine hair, not thick body hair
  • Return postage to an overseas seller is yours to pay

How it works

Salon threading uses a twisted cotton thread to trap and pull out hairs. SoftEpilator Pro automates the twist: a motor spins the thread stretched between two wire arms, and as you glide it slowly over taut skin, hairs caught in the twisting thread are plucked out from the root. A pink button switches it on. The standard version runs on batteries.

  1. Thread and power it

    Step 1: Load the cotton thread between the two wire arms and insert batteries, or charge the rechargeable version.

  2. Switch on

    Step 2: Press the button; the thread twists rapidly between the arms.

  3. Glide over the skin

    Step 3: Hold skin taut and move the twisting thread slowly against the direction of hair growth; hairs caught in the twist are pulled out.

The page title calls it a "Soft Hair Removal Device", "Electric Facial Hair Remover", "Cotton Thread Hair Removal Tool", "Painless Facial Epilator For Sensitive Skin" and "Professional Threading Epilator For Face". The six bullets promise painless removal for sensitive skin, long-lasting root-level results, wireless use, chemical-free cotton thread, an ergonomic butterfly design and face and body use.

What the page leaves out

Battery type, thread refills, speed and how to change the thread.

A familiar design

White electric threading tools with two wire arms and a single button are sold widely under many names.

  • People with very sensitive or broken skin, acne or rosacea in the area
  • Anyone wanting to remove thick body hair quickly

Is SoftEpilator Pro really painless and safe for sensitive skin?

Not painless; usually manageable. Any method that removes hair from the root stings, especially on the upper lip and during the first few sessions; many people find it gets easier with regular use. Redness and small bumps afterwards are common and usually settle. The American Academy of Dermatology notes hair removal can irritate skin and cause ingrown hairs, and advises choosing a method that suits your skin.

What dermatologists advise

The AAD's guide to hair removal covers the trade-offs between methods.

What this means for you: test a small area first and go slowly.

"Versatile Use For Both Face And Body Hair"

Threading is slow on large areas and struggles with thick, coarse hair.

"Long-Lasting Results With Root-Level Hair Removal"

Fair: root removal outlasts shaving, typically for weeks.

How much does SoftEpilator Pro cost, and are the add-ons worth it?

On 6 October 2026, one SoftEpilator Pro cost $59, with the five-pack at $149 flagged as the best seller. The checkout offered a built-in LED light for $4, a rechargeable battery version for $7, a car USB charger adapter for $4 and a 3-year warranty for $7. Both the light and rechargeable battery are useful, bringing it to $70.

Is SoftEpilator Pro better than Pluxy, Erasilk or salon threading?

It is a middle option. Salon threading is precise and quick in skilled hands. A tweezer epilator like Pluxy handles slightly coarser hair. A hair eraser like Erasilk buffs hair away at the surface, so results last about as long as shaving. SoftEpilator Pro removes from the root, like threading, at home.

SoftEpilator Pro vs Erasilk

Our Erasilk review covers a glass hair eraser; SoftEpilator Pro's results last longer but sting more.

Where a rival wins

For brows and precise shaping, a skilled threader.

What owners say

We found no Trustpilot profile for the gadgetxaura.com store and no retailer reviews for SoftEpilator Pro by that name. Owners of similar electric threading tools like the results on fine facial hair, and complain about the sting, threads that snap and a learning curve.

What we did, and did not, do

Nobody on our team has used SoftEpilator Pro. We read the offer page our link opens and its page code on 6 October 2026, along with the AAD's hair removal guide and the pages that rank for SoftEpilator Pro. The refund and returns terms are as we recorded them from the site's terms page on 4 October 2026.

How to use SoftEpilator Pro for smoother, kinder results

Start on clean, dry skin with hair a few millimetres long, hold the skin taut, and glide slowly against the direction of growth. Work in small areas, take breaks, and calm the skin afterwards with a gentle moisturiser. Avoid broken or inflamed skin.

  1. Clean, dry skin. No oils or creams.
  2. Hair a few millimetres long. Too short will not catch.
  3. Hold the skin taut. Reduces pinching.
  4. Move slowly. Against the direction of growth.
  5. Small areas first. Test patch on day one.
  6. Calm the skin after. A gentle, fragrance-free moisturiser.
  7. Replace worn thread. Fraying thread breaks.

Upper lip

Puff out the lip with your tongue to tighten the skin.

Avoid

Moles, broken skin and acne breakouts.

What else do people ask about electric threading tools?

Most questions are about eyebrows, regrowth and pain. Brows need precision a beginner may lack, regrowth takes weeks, and the sting eases with practice. Browse our beauty gadget reviews for more.

Can I use it on eyebrows?

Carefully, for stray hairs; shaping is best left to a threader.

Will hair grow back thicker?

No. Removal from the root does not make hair thicker.

How often should I use it?

When regrowth appears, often every few weeks.

Can men use it?

Yes, on fine hair; coarse beard hair is a struggle.

Frequently asked questions

How much does SoftEpilator Pro cost?

On 6 October 2026, the offer page listed one SoftEpilator Pro for $59, two for $89, three (two plus one free) for $109, four for $129 and five (three plus two free) for $149, with the five-pack flagged as the best seller. An LED light cost $4, a rechargeable battery $7 and a 3-year warranty $7.

Is SoftEpilator Pro painless?

Unlikely. It pulls hairs from the root, which stings, especially the first few times and on the upper lip. Many people find it gets easier with regular use.

How does an electric threading tool work?

A cotton thread is stretched between two arms and twisted rapidly. When you glide it over skin, hairs get trapped in the twists and are plucked out, imitating salon threading.

How long do results last?

Because hairs come out at the root, results usually last longer than shaving, often a few weeks, depending on how fast your hair grows back.

Does it need special thread?

It uses cotton thread, which wears out. The page does not sell refills; ask the seller what thread fits and how to change it.

Can it cause ingrown hairs?

Any method that removes hair from the root can cause irritation and ingrown hairs. The American Academy of Dermatology advises choosing a hair removal method that suits your skin.

Is SoftEpilator Pro legit?

It is a real product sold by G Com Pte Ltd, which lists a Singapore address, email and phone number. The concerns are the painless claim, the rechargeable version sold separately, no thread refill information and return postage at your cost.
