How do I use the attachments on my Philips Epilator?

Your Philips Epilator may come with different attachments. You may use the epilator to epilate areas such as your bikini line. Epilating is not suitable for the intimate area (the outside and inside the of outer labia), we advise that you only use a trimmer or shaver with a comb attached. Find out here how to use these attachments for the best epilating experience.

You can use the shaving head of your epilator to shave your legs, underarms and bikini line. For the best result, move the appliance against the direction of hair growth, making sure that the head is in full contact with the skin.

When using the shaving head in the intimate area (outside and inside of the outer labia), ensure that you attach the trimming comb to the shaving head.

When shaving your underarms, place your arm behind your head to stretch the underarm area, then move the device up and down and from left to right to cover all the hair growing in different directions.

For optimal cutting and gliding performance, we advise that you clean the shaving unit after each use, and to replace the foil every 12 months or when it no longer provides the shaving or trimming results you expect. Always replace the foil with an original Philips foil. Safely store your product and protect the foil from outside pressure or impacts by attaching a cap or comb.
