It is! Only with an electric shaver. You should say goodbye to your manual shaver – its exposed blades can easily lead to cuts in uneven areas such as the armpits. The Philips Lady shaver, however, has rounded tips behind the shaving foil which make it glide gently over the skin.

Make sure to use gentle deodorants on your armpits to avoid irritation and check out our guide on avoiding ingrown hairs to keep your armpits looking and feeling smooth.
When we women remove armpit hair, we are often willing to go far. But should one go as far as to have ones armpit hairs pulled out with the sugaring method or with wax? They remove the hair with its root. Since they are pulled out in one move, these methods are painful. They can also adversely affect the skin.
It is better to epilate armpits with an epilator such as the Philips Lady Shaver, hair is removed quickly and effectively, which reduces the uncomfortable pulling feeling. It can even grip the finest hairs that are four times shorter than with waxing. This way you can enjoy smooth armpits for two to three weeks.
