Is It Safe To Use An Epliator For Removing Underarm Hair?

My 10 year old daughter has terrible body odour (confined to underarm) although she washes daily and applys deodorant. I understand that it s probably rampant hormones as she s been like this now since she was 8. The question I have is... is it safe for her to use an epliator for the underarm hair? She is embarrassed about the smell and the hair and gets upset easily about it all! Please help.
