The process of removing hair from the body using an epilator or similar hair-removal method.
Present participle of 'epilate,' showing the ongoing action of hair removal using the Latin root 'pilus' (hair).
Epilating is actually more painful than shaving initially, but over time it becomes easier—this is because the hair becomes finer and sparser, a perfect example of how our bodies adapt to repeated stimuli.
