Some are waterproof, making it easy to use in the shower. “If space is a concern, it can be helpful to find one that is compact and cordless, making it easy to use and store.

“It can be helpful to look for a trimmer that has an attachment specifically designed for the bikini area, given the skin is more sensitive and the angles can make it more challenging,” says Marisa Garshick, MD, FAAD, a board-certified dermatologist in New York City. That’s why Woolery-Lloyd suggests looking for a bikini trimmer with a guard that protects the skin from irritation, since trimmers that have blades that scrape directly against the skin increase the risk of irritation and ingrown hairs. It can be used prior to shaving but also in between shaves to help prevent ingrown hairs.” “ Venus for Pubic Hair & Skin Smoothing Exfoliant is a great option because it contains gentle exfoliating particles to help smooth the skin,” Woolery-Lloyd says. “It also doesn't have ingredients like added fragrance and dye which can sometimes be irritating in sensitive areas. Those prone to ingrown hair will especially benefit from gentle exfoliation.
Additionally, exfoliating with a gentle exfoliant prior to trimming can be helpful to eliminate dead skin cells and this can be done by using a salicylic acid containing cleanser, such as Neutrogena Acne Body Wash or CeraVe SA Cleanser.” Be sure to avoid harsh scrubs, though, as they can irritate the skin. “For someone prone to breakouts and ingrowns, it may help to use an antibacterial wash to reduce potential bacteria, such as a benzoyl peroxide wash like Panoxyl, or other antibacterial washes like Betadine Surgical Scrub or Hibiclens. “Typically, this is best done by gently cleansing the skin and keeping the hairs damp, which helps soften the hairs,” Garshick says. Getting your skin ready before you whip out your bikini trimmer is key to minimizing the potential for friction or irritation of the skin.
BEST BALL TRIMMER HOW TO
To get the cleanest bikini line in the safest way possible, we turned to dermatologists to share exactly how to use a bikini trimmer.
“Shaving pubic hair with the wrong tools can increase the risk of shaving bumps, ingrown hairs, dry skin, itching during regrowth, redness and irritation,” Woolery-Lloyd says. “In my practice, ingrown hairs in the pubic area are more common than anywhere else on the body. Patients find this problem both uncomfortable and embarrassing. Using a comprehensive approach is a good way to help reduce the risk of common shaving concerns. It is important to use products that prep, protect, shave and maintain healthy skin in sensitive areas like the pubic area.”Ī common mistake that Woolery-Lloyd sees is sharing someone else's razor, a major no-no. “Some people feel like they can use their partner's beard/face trimmer on the pubic area but that is not the case,” she warns. “Pubic hair is generally coarser and needs a trimmer designed for that type of hair.” Hair and skin on the body is very different from hair and skin in the pubic area, which is why the region needs special attention.
