[. . . ] Using the intimate area epilator The epilator is primarily intended to remove hairs by the root in the intimate areas. You can also use it to epilate the bikini line, the underarms and hard-to-reach areas such as knees and ankles. Epilating tips -- Wet: We advise you to start epilating on wet skin, as water relaxes the skin and makes epilation less painful and gentler. Use your common shower gel or foam for a smoother epilation. -- Dry: If you epilate dry, epilation is easier just after taking a bath or shower. Make sure your skin is completely dry when you start epilating. -- General: Your skin should be entirely clean and free of oil. We advise you to epilate in the evening, as skin irritation usually disappears overnight. -- General: Epilation is easier and more comfortable when the hairs have a length of 3-4 mm. If the hairs are longer, we recommend that you shave first and epilate the shorter regrowing hairs after 1 or 2 weeks. Alternatively, you can trim the hairs to 3-4 mm before you start epilating.
