Epilators

Epilators pull hairs out from the root, so most people feel some discomfort, especially the first few times, and it often eases with regular use. Epilating after a warm shower, holding the skin taut and moving slowly against the direction of hair growth all help. Some models include massage caps or can be used in water, which many people find gentler.

Because hairs are removed from the root, results usually last much longer than shaving, often several weeks, though this varies from person to person. Many people find that regrowth feels softer than the stubble after shaving. Exfoliating gently between sessions helps prevent ingrown hairs as the hair grows back.

Only if it is a wet and dry model. These are cordless and sealed for use in the bath or shower, and many people find epilating on wet skin with shower gel more comfortable. A model that is not marked for wet use must stay dry. Never use an epilator in water while it is plugged in or charging.

Remove the epilating head and brush out trapped hairs after each session. If the head is washable, rinse it under running water and let it dry fully before refitting. Keep caps and attachments clean too, and check the manual for the cleaning methods that are safe for your model, since some parts should not get wet.

Every epilator comes with the manufacturer's warranty, without exception. Terms range from 1 to 10 years depending on the product and the manufacturer, and we pass them on transparently, exactly as supplied. If you would like the exact warranty on a particular model, our team can give it to you before you order.
