-    Slice substrings from each element in the Series/Index
+    Slice substrings from each element in the Series or Index.
 
     Parameters
     ----------
-    start : int or None
-    stop : int or None
-    step : int or None
+    start : int, optional
+        Start position for slice operation.
+    stop : int, optional
+        Stop position for slice operation.
+    step : int, optional
+        Step size for slice operation.
 
     Returns
     -------
-    sliced : Series/Index of objects
+    Series or Index of object
+        Series or Index from sliced substring from original string object.
+
+    See Also
+    --------
+    Series.str.slice_replace : Replace a slice with a string.
+    Series.str.get : Return element at position.
+        Equivalent to `Series.str.slice(start=i, stop=i+1)` with `i`
+        being the position.
+
+    Examples
+    --------
+    >>> s = pd.Series(["koala", "fox", "chameleon"])
+    >>> s
+    0        koala
+    1          fox
+    2    chameleon
+    dtype: object
+
+    >>> s.str.slice(start=1)
+    0        oala
+    1          ox
+    2    hameleon
+    dtype: object
+
+    >>> s.str.slice(stop=2)
+    0    ko
+    1    fo

+    0    kl
+    1     f
+    2    cm
+    dtype: object
+
+    Equivalent behaviour to:
+
+    >>> s.str[0:5:3]
+    0    kl
+    1     f
+    2    cm
+    dtype: object
