Which epilator can you use in the shower and bath?

Many girls prefer depilators that can be used in the bath or shower. However, this is not only convenient, but also, as manufacturers position their product, more hygienic. Nevertheless, the issue of security is an acute issue for everyone. In addition, depilatories that can be used in water are somewhat more expensive. To figure out whether you need such a device, you should carefully familiarize yourself with the available models, their characteristics, as well as their advantages and disadvantages.

Which epilators work in water?

Not all models are approved for such use. In order not to find yourself in a situation where the purchased device cannot be used in water, you need to make sure otherwise when choosing a model. To do this, at the stage of deciding which product to purchase, pay attention to the following points:

1. the possibility of depilation in water (some models can simply be used in a humid environment, but the manufacturer does not guarantee hair removal in water);
2. the method of powering the device (such epilators should only operate on batteries or a rechargeable battery);
3. the presence of lighting (underwater visibility is much worse, even if you have excellent lighting in the bathroom);
4. nozzles included in the kit.

Now almost all manufacturers have added models to their range that can be used underwater.

IMPORTANT! Before purchasing, do not be lazy to read the reviews of those who have already used the water epilator. This will allow you to avoid models whose operating functions do not match those declared by the manufacturer.

Why are models working in water interesting?

The water epilator has a number of distinctive features. These usually include:

• Discs and tweezers that do not corrode, which allows them to be safely washed under running water. This characteristic makes the device more hygienic to use and also helps reduce skin irritation.
• The body of the devices is made of materials that do not slip in water, and they are also completely sealed for safe operation under water. Using such depilatories is less painful, as the skin is steamed and hair is easier to remove.
• The special design of the epilator head promotes a tighter fit to the skin, which allows you to capture even short hairs, and this, in turn, guarantees a longer-lasting smoothness effect after depilation.

IMPORTANT! When choosing a model to purchase, pay attention to what attachments or additional features you need. Some functions may simply not suit your skin characteristics, and the cost will be inflated due to them.

Disadvantages and advantages

No matter how convenient the use of such depilators may seem, they are not used everywhere, since all devices have their drawbacks: some are not afraid of them, while others are not able to put up with them. These disadvantages include:

• higher price compared to conventional depilators;
• the charge of batteries or accumulators during continuous operation lasts only for half an hour, which is inconvenient if you need to efficiently depilate a large area;
• decreased visibility (not all models are equipped with additional lighting).

Although these disadvantages are not so significant, for many they play an important role when choosing a depilator. For another part of the girls, they are compensated by the positive qualities of the device:

• less painful hair removal from steamed skin;
• more effective depilation due to the floating head, which allows you to capture even the shortest hairs;
• mobility (since the device does not work from the mains, you can take it with you even on hikes);
• simplicity and speed of hair removal (compared to sugaring, waxing and other methods of depilation and hair removal);
• speed control (as a rule, all models contain two modes: standard and gentle for skin with a low pain threshold and high sensitivity);
• long-term preservation of smoothness (due to the removal of short hairs, you can safely perform depilation once a month).

However, not everyone will experience imperfections due to their skin characteristics. The same applies to advantages. Therefore, before choosing a device, manufacturers strongly advise setting personal preferences based on your own observations in order to avoid getting a bad result and, as a result, negative reviews.

Contraindications to using an epilator

There are usually no strict contraindications to using a depilator, however, there are cases when using the device is not recommended:

• during pregnancy;
• with varicose veins;
• if there is damage to the area of ​​skin you are going to depilate.

If girls who have highly sensitive skin are not usually advised to use a depilatory, then there are no such restrictions on one that can work under water due to the reduced pain of the process.

Although water depilators are more expensive and work for a limited time, they are still comfortable to use due to their high efficiency and less painful procedure. However, when choosing a model when purchasing, you should pay attention to its characteristics, since manufacturers often hide behind a “water depilator” a device that can be used in a humid environment, but not under water.
