Definitions
- the present invention relates to a new epilatory device and its application to hair removal.
- Hair removal is performed by several techniques.
- the technique of electrolysis, electrical devices gripping and pulling out the hair, for example with the aid of rotating parts, chemical agents such as sulphides, the conventional tweezers, as well as hot and cold epilatory waxes, may be used for example.
- Cold epilatory waxes are generally applied to a thin backing in the form of a strip.
- a wax will hereinafter be termed adhesive paste medium.
- adhesive paste medium Traditionally, a film of cellophane or a non woven material having the adhesive paste medium applied directly on one side of the strip is used. This type of product is commonly referred to as a cold wax strip and is typically found in the general shape of a rectangle.
- Such cold wax strips are used as follows: the user presses the strip firmly onto the area to be epilated, the adhesive medium being placed in the direction of the area to be depilated, then one end of the backing strip is grasped and pulled sharply away from the area to be depilated. The hairs trapped in the adhesive paste medium are therefore removed from the treated area and in principle the whole of the adhesive paste medium remains attached to the backing strip.
- an epilatory device comprising a flat elongate body having an adhesive paste medium applied to a first side of the body, wherein the ratio of the length of the flat elongate body to the length of the adhesive paste is from 1 .25: 1 to 1 .15: 1 .
- the ratio of the length of the elongate body to the length of adhesive paste is typically from 1 .24: 1 to 1 .21 : 1 . According to a particularly preferred embodiment the ratio of the length of the elongate body to the length of adhesive paste is typically 1.23:1.
- the length of the flat elongate body is typically 160mm or less.
- an epilatory device comprising a flat elongate body having an adhesive paste medium applied to a first side of the body, wherein the ratio of the area of the flat elongate body to the area of the adhesive paste is from 1.87:1 to 1.65:1.
- the ratio of the area of the elongate body to the area of adhesive paste is typically from 1.85:1 to 1.81:1. According to a particularly preferred embodiment the ratio of the length of the elongate body to the length of adhesive paste is typically 1.85:1.
- an epilatory device comprising a flat elongate body having an adhesive paste medium applied to a first side of the body, wherein the ratio of the length of the flat elongate body to the length of the adhesive paste is from 1.25:1 to 1.15:1 and wherein the ratio of the area of the flat elongate body to the area of the adhesive paste is from 1.87:1 to 1.65:1.
- the ratio of the length of the elongate body to the length of adhesive paste is typically from 1.24:1 to 1.21:1. According to a particularly preferred embodiment the ratio of the length of the elongate body to the length of adhesive paste is typically 1.23:1.
- the ratio of the area of the elongate body to the area of adhesive paste is typically from 1.85:1 to 1.80:1. According to a particularly preferred embodiment the ratio of the length of the elongate body to the length of adhesive paste is typically 1.85:1.
- the ratio of the length of the elongate body to the length of adhesive paste is from 1.24:1 to 1.21:1 and the ratio of the area of the elongate body to the area of adhesive paste is from 1 .85: 1 to 1 .80: 1 . More typically the ratio of the length of the elongate body to the length of adhesive paste is 1 .23: 1 and the ratio of the area of the elongate body to the area of adhesive paste is 1.85: 1 .
- the length of the flat elongate body is typically 160mm or less.
- the substrate of the elongate body of the first, second and third aspects is a non-woven material or cellophane, however it is envisaged that any suitable substrate may be used.
- the device of the first, second and third aspects can further include a grab member which is held by the user to aid removal of the device from a user's body part.
- the grab member is substantially free of adhesive paste medium.
- the body and/or grab member of the device of the first, second and third aspects has indicia applied thereto.
- the indicia may be instructions or other indicia which may provide guidance to an end user on how to use the epilatory device.
- the indicia may be, for example, one or more arrows which give guidance to the user on which way to pull the epilatory device away from the user's body in use.
- the indicia may be on the body and/or the grab member.
- first epilatory device is attached to adhesive paste medium on a second epilatory device.
- first epilatory device and the second epilatory device are 'peelable' in order to allow easy separation of the epilatory device at the moment of use.
- wax strips of the present invention can be made using any suitable technique known to the man skilled in the art.
- inventive Example A had a flat elongate body with a length of 160mm. Onto this body a 130mm length of adhesive paste had been applied. The ratio of the length of the elongated body to the adhesive paste was 1 .2307. The width of the flat elongate body was 75mm and the width of the adhesive paste was 50mm. Therefore the area of the flat elongate body was 12,000mm and the area of the adhesive paste was 6,500mm. Thus the ratio of the area of the flat elongate body to the adhesive paste was 1.8461 .
- Inventive Example B had a flat elongate body with a length of 155mm. Onto this body a 130mm length of adhesive paste had been applied. The ratio of the length of the flat elongate body to the adhesive paste was 1 .1923. The width of the flat elongate body was 75mm and the width of the adhesive paste was 50mm. Therefore the area of the flat elongate body was 1 1 ,625mm and the area of the adhesive paste was 6,500mm. Thus the ratio of the area of the flat elongate body to the adhesive paste was 1 .788.
- the comparative example had a flat elongate body with a length of 165mm. Onto this body a 130mm length of adhesive paste had been applied. The ratio of the length of the body to the adhesive paste was 1 .2692.
- the width of the flat elongate body was 75mm and the width of the adhesive paste was 50mm. Therefore the area of the flat elongate body was 12,375mm. The area of the adhesive paste was 6,500mm. The ratio of the area of the body to the adhesive paste was 1 .9038.
- An advantage of the present invention is that there is provided an improved wax strip whose design has been optimised such that it provides efficacious hair removal without leaving any significant wax residue on a user's skin.
