Yes. Philips says it is waterproof and suitable for the bath or shower and for cleaning under the tap. For safety it only works cordless, so it won't run while plugged in.

60 minutes per charge, and a full charge takes 3 hours, according to Philips. It also supports quick charging.

Philips says it grips and removes hairs as short as 0.5 mm, 3 times shorter than wax can, so you don't have to wait for regrowth before the next session.

Philips says epilating can keep you free from your hair removal routine for up to 4 weeks, since hair is removed from the root. Results vary from person to person.

Some skin irritation is normal at first and eases as your skin gets used to it, Philips says. The ProGuide cap keeps the skin taut for more comfort, and warm water in the shower or bath relaxes the skin.

Philips makes it for the legs and body. Never epilate the inner or outer labia, and keep it away from scalp hair, eyebrows and eyelashes. Don't use it on damaged, inflamed or healing skin, varicose veins or moles, and check with a doctor first if you have diabetes or hemophilia.

Unplug it, then rinse the epilation head under cold or lukewarm running water. Don't use compressed air, scouring pads, abrasive cleaners or aggressive liquids.
