Epilator for intimate areas
Researchers have proven that women in sexy underwear feel more confident. Allow yourself to continue the chain of thoughts and note that the fair sex with a smooth bikini area feel even more seductive - this will help them epilator for intimate areas. What are its differences from the classic analogue, you will know right now.
Features
Epilation is not always a pleasant and even uncomfortable process, but it is precisely this that allows to achieve the effect of smooth skin without excessive vegetation. Depilation of the intimate area (shaving or using hair removal cream) eliminates hairs for a couple of days, and they continue to grow at a fast pace. The essence of epilation is to remove the hair follicles and the violation of the structure of the follicles, which is why the hairs grow more slowly after the procedure. An additional plus is that they are much thinner.
Epilator for the intimate area allows you to get rid of unwanted vegetation for a period of 2 to 4 weeks (depending on the rate of natural hair growth and their structure). It has a number of features. It is worth talking about the advantages of home hair removal using a special machine:
- The convenience of use. It is more pleasant to do hair removal yourself than to trust your body to a master (if she is not the best friend).
- Qualitative result is maintained for 2-4 weeks.
- The growth of hairs slows down, their quality “deteriorates” noticeably - for women it is “at hand”.
- Allows you to remove hair in the intimate area using a deep bikini or a classic technique. The essence of the first is complete smoothness, the second is the removal of hair along the panty line.
- Saves money and time - you do not have to visit an expensive salon, it is enough to buy a car and use it at home - for a couple of years (and even more).
Now a few words about the device cons:
- Painful process. The procedure of epilation (especially the intimate zone) is another “pleasure” that you have to endure. If you do not need such torment, you will need to look for ways to facilitate the process - painkillers, ointments, cooling nozzles or bags.
- Gives irritation - or the normal reaction of the skin to hair removal with the bulb. Irritation appears in 99% of cases, it passes on its own or forces a woman to use “heavy artillery” - all the same gels, ointments and creams with a sedative composition.
- The appearance of ingrown hair. Alas, this problem can appear from any type of epilation - epilator, wax or sugar. Ingrown hairs appear due to a violation of the texture of the hair follicle, which leads to abnormal hair growth - it literally begins to grow inside the skin. The best way to get rid of the problem is to prevent it and to properly prepare the skin for the epilation process, to provide quality care after.
Hair removal with the epilator allows you to make the intimate area smooth and keep this effect for four weeks.
Epilation requires preparation and further skin care in order to preserve its beauty and smoothness, to make the procedure safe and relatively pleasant. This home care procedure is incredibly popular among women and men (despite its soreness), who are puzzled by their appearance.
If several years ago the intimate area was treated with a classic epilator, then Today, advanced users choose a special machine with a gentle nozzle (usually the number of tweezers or discs in it is less) and a narrower head - to work out the most sensitive areas. This, for example, the labia, interyagal zone. Epilator for the intimate area can be a nozzle for a classic typewriter or be produced separately, have a nozzle-trimmer (for cutting long hairs) or do without it.
Female
Models differ in laconic design and pink gamma in design. Almost all known models and brands of epilators are created for women - Braun, Philips, Rowenta and the rest.
Male
Men's hair is more rigid. They require a special typewriter. Among the manufacturers of epilators for men, it is worth noting the German brand. Beurer. The stronger sex will suit classic epilators with a replaceable head for shaving and cutting hair - for example, Philips Satin Ice Total Care Hp 6433 / PB. Men can safely use any “female” epilator with a special nozzle for sensitive areas (underarms and bikinis), an air cooling system or vibration. It is recommended to choose models of time-tested brands.
How it works?
Epilator happens disk or tweezers, The essence of his work does not change: under the action of electricity, disks or tweezers capture the hairs and remove them along with the hair follicle. If we talk about disk models, then it can be noted that the disks are opened and compressed, rotate and capture the visible part of the hair - from 0.5 mm and more. The principle of operation of tweezers is identical - tweezers expand and contract.
All modern models of electric epilators have two or three speeds of rotation. The first option is suitable for working out sensitive areas of the body or working with a large number of hair follicles, the second and third (fast) - for less sensitive areas of the body (legs, arms). Usually the device is powered by the mains, there are mobile models on batteries. There are also devices that can work this way and that.
Epilators for dry hair removal are used for dry areas of the body. Modern models for aqua-hair removal are used in the shower - this relieves pain.
Can the epilator shave the bikini area?
The epilator is suitable for removing hair from any part of the body (except the face), so you can shave their bikini area - and even need to. If we talk about the classic model with a wide head, then it is ideal for working on the legs and arms, because it works immediately with a large area of the body and effectively removes hairs. For sensitive locations, a narrow nozzle is the best choice. It will allow you to get to hard-to-reach places and work out a deep bikini, armpits.
The narrow head of the epilator is suitable for intimate areas and because the number of tweezers or disks in it is less, which means that the pain from the procedure is reduced. At the same time, the efficiency of hair removal does not decrease - the epilator works through sensitive areas of the body smaller in size and width, does not let the hair through and does not force the woman to search for the optimal posture in order to get close to a particular area.

How to use at home?
Skills of work with the epilator appear gradually - you learn to select the optimal speed for different parts of the intimate area, looking for the right angle and degree of depression. There are several rules for using the device that you should know about:
- Hair length - 1-3 mm. This is exactly what is needed for high-quality and less painful epilation of the intimate area (the recommended length of hair on the legs is half a centimeter).
- Mash the skin. Before epilation, be sure to use a scrub or peeling. They will make the skin surface smooth, and it will be easier for the tweezers (or discs) to grab a hair and remove it along with the bulb. Steamed after a shower or bath, the derma gives away hair better, it is less sensitive to pain due to open pores.
- Against hair growth. Keep the epilator's head exactly like this, because this technique allows the tweezers (or discs) to capture the hairs.
- Do not press the head. Do not try too hard when working with the device - its head should touch the skin, and not dig into it. Otherwise (if there is strong pressure on the epilator), you can damage the skin surface - hook it with tweezers or discs.
- Speed. "Play" with the speed of rotation of the discs, start with the lowest (1) and switch to 2 or 3 in the least sensitive areas - pubic, for example.
- Dry skin. Classic epilator works only with dry skin (with the exception of models with the ability to work in the shower). If the skin involuntarily sweats during epilation, powder it with talcum powder or baby powder.
Using the epilator correctly is to reduce the pain during the procedure, the risk of severe irritation (including ingrown hair) and increase the effect (to achieve smoothness for 2-4 weeks).
You can epilate the most sensitive area on the body. two ways –classical (in the line of panties) or deep (completely) bikini.
- Optimal hair length for shaving epilator - 2-3 mm, not more. If they are too long, painful sensations cannot be avoided. It is worth using a trimmer before applying the epilator to create the ideal hair length and improve the quality of the procedure as a whole.
- Use cooling nozzles or a special mitten. Often epilators are equipped with additional accessories for pain relief.Cold air comes in through a special nozzle and epilation does not seem so painful. A mitten (pre-cooled in the freezer) is applied to the skin in advance, holding for 1-3 minutes. The skin temporarily loses its sensitivity, and the pain is no longer so severe.
How to facilitate the process?
Epilation without pain - the dream of every woman. Where does the pain come from: the hair follicle is closely connected with the network of nerve endings. When the hair bulb leaves its “home”, the person feels unpleasant sensations. To make the procedure less painful, you must follow A number of recommendations:
- Razorte skin before epilating - take a shower or bath. Opened pores are more likely to give hair follicles.
- Use the scrub before the procedure to remove the stratum corneum. This will ensure a smooth glide over the skin and further increase the hairs.
Epilation without pain is not a myth, but a very real home care procedure. The intimate area is highly sensitive, especially for the labia and interdyagal area. If hair removal is still painful, if the methods listed above to dull the pain do not help, use lidocaine gel or menovazin - solution for local anesthesia.
Menovazin produced in the form of a liquid solution and ointment - choose a convenient consistency of the composition. It has a noticeable analgesic effect due to the presence of menthol, procaine and benzocaine. Components block sodium channels and do not allow pain impulses to occur in the nerve fibers.
How to remove irritation after?
Skin irritation after epilation is a completely normal reaction. It can be expressed by a slight reddening of the skin, the formation of small red spots or a small net of pimples. It all depends on the degree of sensitivity of the skin and its features. After epilation, it is necessary to treat the skin with an antiseptic or alcohol-free soothing lotion, since the latter dries the skin. Excessive dryness of the covering can lead to flaking, itching and ingrown hairs. After skin treatment is necessary to ensure further care - This will reduce the risk of acne (including purulent) and itching:
- Apply a cooling compress - it will relieve the itching and pain that remained after epilation (surely you feel how your skin hurts after hair removal). You can use the cooling mitten from the kit or attach a bag of ice / frozen vegetables / fish, a bottle of ice water.
- Use a soothing cream: "Bepanten", "Panthenol", "Lifeguard" and any other means of burns - they are the most effective.
- Apply moisturizer (an ordinary child will do).
- You can use a special cream after the epilator any brand, including “anti-ingrown hair” - it will additionally “delay” the appearance of new hairs.
Immediately before and after epilation, the skin should be treated with antiseptic solutions:
- "Chlorhexidine";
- hydrogen peroxide;
- decoction of herbs (chamomile, mint, a mixture of various plants with antibacterial effect);
- lotion with aloe, including homemade;
- thermal water.
It is necessary to treat the skin with soft movements, exclude rubbing - they can cause additional redness of the skin. You can use thermal water for one to two days after epilation - it moisturizes the epidermis well.
