Abstract
A depilatory device includes a flexible plastic cylindrical member formed with a plurality of circumferentially-extending slits, the plastic member being rotated about its longitudinal axis while supported in an arcuate position such that the slits open and close during rotation of the plastic member to receive and pluck the hairs. The plastic member includes a high-strength flexible core imparting mechanical strength, and the slits are formed with corrugated or otherwise non-planar faces to enhance their gripping power when the slits are closed.
