Question 5

Can I completely submerge this epilator in the bathtub?

Accepted Answer

No, you cannot completely submerge this Braun Silk-épil 9 Flex SE 9-041 3D in the bathtub. According to the official manual, total immersion would not provide optimal results and would compromise the effectiveness of hair removal. The device is designed to be used with the epilation head in contact with damp or wet skin, not submerged.

This epilator operates on a rechargeable battery and can be used in the bath or shower, but must be unplugged for electrical safety reasons. It is this battery power that makes the device safe to use near water. The power cord and charging block must be kept away from the bathtub or shower.

You can use it in two ways in the water: directly in the shower on wet skin with your usual shower gel, or in the bathtub by holding the device above the surface, submerging only the epilation head and the areas to be treated. After each use, rinse the epilation head and the device under warm running water, shake them to remove any remaining water, and then let them dry before reassembling or storing.

The device has a Li-Ion battery that offers up to 50 minutes of use after a full charge (2 hours) or 10 minutes after a quick charge of 15 minutes. Since it should never be plugged in near water, make sure it is fully charged before your epilation in the shower or bath. Avoid leaving it submerged for long periods, as although the epilation head is water-resistant for daily use, this does not affect its performance.
