"epilator" の定義と意味

What is an "epilator"?

An epilator is a personal care device used for removing unwanted hair from the body. It works by mechanically grasping multiple hairs simultaneously and pulling them out from the root. Epilators typically feature rotating or oscillating tweezers that capture the hair and remove it swiftly, similar to waxing. The device is passed over the skin, and the hair is plucked out, leaving behind smooth skin. Epilators offer a longer-lasting hair removal method compared to shaving, as the hair takes more time to regrow. While it may cause some temporary discomfort, regular use of an epilator can lead to finer and sparser hair growth over time.
