Reddit mentions: The best women bikini trimmers

I LOVE this. You're gorgeous so you're going to look fantastic no matter what, but I've got some suggestions for small improvements:

• Blush. You've said you don't like the way it looks, but I think you need something. In photos the absence of blush looks jarring and was the first thing I noticed. Maybe try an extremely subtle color like Tarte's Exposed (neutral) or Benefit Dandelion (very light pink)? Also, maybe try visiting some makeup counters for advice on the application on your face. It's possible you haven't liked blush because you haven't learned the best location for your particular face shape? Here, you're going for a sophisticated look, so I think it would look great applied on the sides on your cheekbones. Then sweep only what's left on the brush onto the apples as a last step. You only want a tiny touch of color there.
  
  
• Eyebrows. Yours are lovely in today's style, but you want something timeless so that your grandchildren can post their pretty grandma on r/oldschoolcool one day and no one will say "what's up with her eyebrows?" (Trust us: those of us who lived through the 90s thought our skinny brows looked fantastic. Looking back - not so much. Classic is best!) Go for more of a rounded shape on the inside corners, don't come in so far on the inner corners, and, overall, use a lighter touch guided by the shape of your actual brows. Your natural brow shape looks very pretty, so your effort should be on lightly shading those and not so much extending and amplifying.
  
  
• I love the bold lipstick, but I agree with another commenter that it's a little too purple and is washing you out a bit. I appreciate that it matches the roses, though :)
  
  
• Minor things for eyes. I love the upper liner and lashes. You nailed retro but timeless! The frosty light color on in your inner corners extends a little too far out. Use a smaller brush to keep it closer to the corners. It looks like you've lined your lower lid, and I think it's making your eyes look smaller. I don't like the lower liner on your inner corner, either. I'd ditch the lower liner in deference to what you already have: pulling some of the warm brown eyeshadow down on your lower lashline and subtle mascara on the lower lashes.
  
  
• The foundation does look a little cakey, particularly around your jawline. You've gotten some application tips, but I see what looks like dry patches of skin on your chin and jaw. Have you tried any chemical exfoliants to smooth your skin? Another thing that may help is dermaplaning. I got these and it gets all the peach fuzz off, exfoliates, and helps makeup look seamless with skin. It seems intimidating but it's pretty easy!

I randomly came across that photo yesterday (god knows why I took it in the first place, I was in a taxi in Beijing) but I had no idea my hyperpigmentation had faded so much since that photo was taken in April 2018. I don't do anything too special, the usual sort of stuff, but I have to say Skinceuticals CE Ferulic has definitely made the most difference. I got it to see if it lived up to the hype, and damn it, it did lol. Although I am "lucky" (good job, no kids, aka I am very fortunate to have some money to spend) that it doesn't totally break the bank, but dang is it expensive, just based on principle! I guess I'm sticking with it, though!

I used to just wash my face at night and in the morning in the shower, and then a friend of mine was talking to me about her "routine" one day (she's older than I and has FLAWLESS skin) which got me Googling. Which brought me to this and other skincare subs. There ensued borderline obsession. I have a ways to go, but I honestly didn't realize how far I've come! After a lifetime of doing the bare minimum, getting into a routine was kind of a drag, but once I started to see that I needed less makeup to make my skin look even, I was totally on board and now I really look forward to it every morning and night, thanks in no small part to this sub!ETA: Wow, you girls/guys are SO nice and making me feel so special! I honestly feel like I don't know what I'm doing and I swear every day I'm googling "Does X conflict with Y"? Haha. But here is what I have been doing:

Morning: Simple toner.

Skinceuticals CE Ferulic.

Kiehl's moisturizer with a couple drops of The Ordinary's squalane.

Biore Aqua Rich sunscreen (this stuff is the shit!)

​

PM:

Cetaphil cream wash.

Neutrogena oil wash (I hate the smell of this - will not be re-purchasing!).

The Ordinary Grand Emulsion 2%.

The Ordinary Buffet.

The Ordinary Rosehip oil.

The Ordinary HA Factors moisturizer if I'm feeling particularly dry that day, but lately I haven't been needing to use this because the rosehip oil is soooo moisturizing.

​

Twice a week: The Ordinary AHA + BHA peel.

Few times a week: Random sheet masks I pick up :-P (I live in Asia so I have a nice supply of random different masks on hand!).

At least once week: Innis Free volcanic clay mask (love this stuff!).Oh! And I also dermaplane every sunday using these cheap little things I get on Amazon. It's my little Sunday ritual. You know, like church. My face feels like a baby seal, and I mean really, isn't that the end goal here?

​

Like I said, I don't know what I'm doing LOL. But this seems to be working so I'll keep at it! If anyone sees I'm doing anything obviously stupid, tell me, please :)

I have pretty sensitive skin so I haven't found much success with shaving. I've tried all kinds of tips (sharp razor, warm washcloth, good shave cream, deodorant afterwards, etc.) and I still get bad ingrowns or redness afterwards. So now I sometimes wax and typically trim. Waxing is really good at getting all the hair, but it's expensive ($60 for full brazilian) so for me at least it's not a good long term option. I used to use one of those Norelco mini trimmers for ear/nose hair but it was somewhat small so I recently got the Braun Silk Epil Bikini Styler and I'm really happy with it. The trimmer is a better size/angle to get all the hair. I tend to use one of the attachments for the "mound" area and the main trimmer by itself for the bikini line area which gets the hair super short (like a cm or so). If you really want to get rid of 90% of the hair, the trimmer w/ no attachments should do that. One major reason I switched to the trimmer was because even though it does remove most of the hair, I've never had any irritation from it. If you want perfect long-term removal a wax may be best, but I find the trimmer a good solution in the long term.

I can't stand shaving bare personally, it feels nice for like half an hour and then turns into an itchy stubbly mess. For me using an electric trimmer gets me nice, clean, uniformly trimmed pubes with minimum effort.

My whole lezbro crew swears by this cheap Schick electric trimmer that you can pick up for $10-15 at most drug stores.

They also have it in black / blue / silver next to the dude's razors if you don't want it in "HEY EVERYONE DID YOU KNOW I HAVE TITS" pink.

Basically my routine is:

• Exfoliate your bits in the shower (I just gently scrub with a washcloth).
  
• Let dry completely (a hair dryer on cool can help here), then grab the trimmer.
  
• Ignore the standard cartridge razor end.
  
• Set the guard on the trimmer end to your preference (might wanna start with the longest setting and see how you like it, then redo on a shorter guard if you need).
  
• Turn trimmer on and go to town. Can't really hurt yourself with this thing. Just comb it through the hair repeatedly until it's trimmed. Take extra care to get the hairs right where your thigh meets your groin as these can be easily missed. You'll need to shake / blow hair out of the trimmer every now and then, especially if you're starting with a full bush.
  
• Once everything's nice and trimmed, I like to pop in the shower again and just wash one more time to rinse away any loose hairs. I also like to apply some conditioner like you do on your head to soften the hair (I dunno if this actually does anything tbh, but I figure it won't hurt).
  
• Dry again, powder the groin area to keep everything nice and dry throughout the day (I like Lush's silky underwear dusting powder but pretty sure it's just nicely scented talc).
  
• That's it! Woohoo!
  
  You might miss a few hairs, if so no big deal. You'll probably catch them next time you trim, and if you don't wanna wait you can use a pair of scissors or tweezers to get the offenders.
  
  You might be able to get a nicer experience with a more expensive bikini trimmer, but none of us have ever felt the need to upgrade. This thing is cheap as hell, and mine has been ticking for like 3 years (I do take it apart every few months and clean / oil the blades).
  
  Good luck!
  
  

Hey! Sorry this took some time to get back. I haven't been able to use a regular razer since forever...and on any part of my body because I get what I think is extreme folliculitis EVERYWHERE. Electric razers have been been a godsend. One of my bikini trimmers is new and I wanted to give it a few more tries before I commented.

For ages I used this (and still do) : https://www.amazon.com/Panasonic-ES246AC-Portable-Adjustable-Settings/dp/B00005JS5C/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?keywords=bikini+trimmer&qid=1563975379&s=gateway&sr=8-5

I would say it feels pretty safe. I've never nicked myself with this one but the shave isn't as close. I'm not into the completely clean shaven look (for myself!) so I think it works well.

I recently purchased this: https://www.amazon.com/Trimmer-Electric-Painless-Removal-Waterproof/dp/B07QFTF1QC/ref=mp_s_a_1_6?keywords=bikini+trimmer&qid=1563975479&s=gateway&sr=8-6

This one definitely gets a closer shave but it took me a second to figure out. Going with the grain is really important. Especially on tricky areas like where the folds of skin are and on the labia major. It will feel like a zap zap if you go against the grain or aren't careful and I've nicked myself so many times. But I can't lie, the shave is closer. I think it's also an overall quieter machine too? Again, I don't feel comfortable shaving certain parts of my labia or any part of my ass crack (lawl). So there's that. And I'm also wanting to try a few different trimmers just to see what works best. Anyways, hope this helps. Xo

I stared epilating, not for everyone since it can be uncomfortable but I like the result and it’s cheaper than a wax. Also I’ve gone to salons and gotten waxed when I was at my heaviest and honestly they were nothing but professional. It is pricy (I’m from Canada too and there tend not to be the great deals around where I am) but I think it has the best long lasting results outside of laser.

Also, have you considered one of these trimmer things? I have one that I use whenever I feel like keeping it tidy but not bald. I like to go with the hair and cut following the curves down there (no visuals needed) and there’s little chance of harming yourself.

Oh and also! Mirrors are your best friend!

Bodybare shaver http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000F0WAZ8

You need to follow the instructions carefully, and it takes a bit of time to learn, but used regularly, it's amazingly effective and bumps free.

A few tips: You need to trim yourself to stubble length first, and let yourself grow out to, um, Miami Vice Don Johnson scruff level the first time, to give your ingrowns time to calm down.

This shaver is used dry - you have to make sure your skin is completely dry (not right after shower) and you use corn starch as a sort of 'lube'. It takes maybe 3-4 minutes a day (yes, a little more than a couple swipes w/ your razor). You lie down, powder your cooch up from front to back, and start with small, light circles over the skin, stretching this way and that. You can hear when it hits patches of stubble, but the nice thing is you can go over and over the skin without irritating it. It's so gentle, you can use it directly on your most sensitive bits.

You have to be a little anal about cleaning it each time (you unscrew cap, brush out the stubble bits and powder), and using blade oil (you can get it at any beauty supply store) each time, so the blades don't rust and go dull.

But, speaking as someone who's tried regular shaving, waxing, and this, this is hands down the best choice for keeping all your bits baby smooth. It can be a bit annoying at first to take the 3-5 minutes each day to go over every thing, but a) you don't need to shower first, you literally just lay out a towel, powder up, and start buzzing and b) you won't get ingrowns. and c) it's the closest, smoothest I've ever gotten down there, and I've tried everything.

It doesn’t get hairier when you shave it. Look it up.

I’d recommend threading as over a long period of time the hairs start getting more fine. When I was younger, I used to bleach it but honestly I don’t think this is the best solution as the hairs are still visible in the light. They are just blonde.

Veet works too but my skin was too sensitive for the one I tried. Def test it in a small area first lest you show up for dinner with a red upper lip.

I currently use those dermaplaning blades (link below). My parents were anti-shaving and I had to sneak to a dollar general to buy my razors when I was in school. My rec is to just shave it, don’t tell your parents, hide the razors. They should have these at a Walmart/Target. Just be more careful, open the package away from home and dispose of it, hide the razors like they are matryoshka dolls.

Gahhhh controlling mothers. I haven’t lived with mine in over a decade and I still have nightmares featuring her being super controlling 🙄

Oh goodness! Ouchie!! I don’t have any now advice other than keeping it clean but for later advice one of these bad boys is going to be your friend for any hair on your inner bits or back door bits you’d like to clean up! It’s a “no touch” so you can’t cut yourself with it! I usually just sit on the toilet and reach down and do the trimming so everything falls in there for easy clean up. The fact that you can just do it by feel is really nice for the rear area if that is something is you want to do (do NOT feel pressured to do this area or any area, though! It’s your body, do what makes YOU comfortable!). Then be sure to shower after to clean any hair out of any crevices so you don’t get irritated.

I use these and they work great. Give them a try! I also looked up a YouTube video of someone using them to make sure I did it right (cause I’m crazy and overthink everything), which was helpful the first time I used them! Super easy and effective.

I was really hesitant to get anything like this, but a girlfriend convinced me and it really does work great. You can adjust the length you want the hair, even, which was a real plus. Ive had it about 5 months it is still working.

At the risk of sounding like a tv commercial, i very much recommend.

Here is the link: http://www.amazon.com/Schick-Quattro-Trimstyle-Bikini-Trimmer/dp/B001TH8Q72

I really like deemaplaning. They’re small, gentle razors and I only need to do it every week or two after showering. Bonus: light exfoliating and helps makeup application. I bought a 3 pack on Amazon and each one lasts me 2-3 weeks with good care. But be careful because they are SHARP and I accidentally took off some eyebrow one time.

I use a special eyebrow / grooming razor like this. I have crazy long sideburns & tons of fluffy blond peach fuzz. It It were darker, I swear it would look like I had a full on man beard. But these little razors are great! I just shave every few days after washing my face at night. It is so easy & affordable. As a bonus, they really exfoliate my face well. I have been using them for a few years now, and no, my hair has not grown back thicker or darker :)

what worked for me what getting an electric trimmer. [this one]
(http://www.amazon.com/Schick-Quattro-Trimstyle-Bikini-Trimmer/dp/B001TH8Q72) is super awesome, takes no time at all and gets the hair so short that it's not an issue in the bedroom with oral and stuff, haha, plus i just like my pubes like this. no razor bumps, but still hair. perfectly in the middle!

I've used a couple. One of them was a Clio - I liked the shape, it made it easier to hold. Eventually it just shortcircuited.

Now I have one by Remington that I can't find an example of, but they have this one that looks pretty close. It does a good job and since the head is smaller than the Clio, has more precision (but takes more strokes). Remington is a very reliable brand from my experience - 90% of my bathroom appliances are by them.

Both of the shavers I've had are wet/dry which I think is really important. I think it does a little bit better job dry but I'm too lazy and usually just do a bit of trimming in the shower when my conditioner is soaking in.

Hi there. I have hirsutism from PCOS, so I pretty much have the same problem as you. This year I bought the first swimsuit I actually feel pretty good in. (Yeah, I know, Walmart.) I kind of have a double-whammy with showing my tummy too because I have colitis and it often gets a bit swollen--and I'm very very pale with dark hair. Yay! :(

For my arms, I use a trimmer like this and trim the hair down, then bleach it. The bleach really doesn't last too long in the summer--maybe a week tops if I'm lucky. But it's the closest thing I can get to looking decent, and I can't afford laser hair removal.

Eyebrow razor
Eyebrow video

You’re best off going to a professional, but if you must do it at home get the brow razors, tweezers, and maybe brow scissors and you should be okay if you follow videos

in your last pic they look especially unflattering and really knocking you down in terms of appearance. Still pretty attractive though.

Not OP, but I have a little schick trimmer with a replaceable razor on one side. It has a guard that is removable as well. I love it for the exact purpose of just keeping everything trimmed and clean. It is technically one of those "lady trimmers" but I've never had an issue with it.

https://www.amazon.com/Schick-TrimStyle-Moisturizing-Bikini-Trimmer/dp/B00SMIIR0W

I trim with an electric trimmer, like this one (http://www.amazon.com/Remington-WPG4020A-Body-Bikini-Grooming/dp/B00BB5YI0Q/ref=sr_1_7?s=hpc&ie=UTF8&qid=1427510122&sr=1-7&keywords=trimmer+for+women)

I don't like to shave because I feel like it's a lot of maintenance, but keeping tidy without it letting it get overgrown is easy with a trimmer. It also usually has a blade-guard, so it doesn't nick or get super short/uneven.

If you don't want to wax, try one of the shavers like this:

https://www.amazon.ca/Body-Bare-Intimate-Sensitive-Ladyfair/dp/B000A1ALEY

The blade is behind a fine mesh screen, so you can press very hard against your skin without fear of injuring yourself. The blade is very sharp so it gets most fine and thick hair, though I find it doesn't leave me 100% smooth - more like baby soft. The other benefit I find is if I remember to use this guy every dsy/every other day it takes all of maybe 5 minutes. Only thing is that you do need to have already fairly short hair for it to work well, so trim down/shave first then just start using this regularly.

Electric Bikini Trimmers are your friend. This is the one I have currently. I have had a Remington one in the past that lasted about two years and when it died (rather, it stopped charging, and it was past warranty), I like this one better than the Remington one though. It lasts longer on a battery charge and seems to trim a little more closely. They are perfectly safe to use on the butt hole and that's usually what I do. It's a little awkward, cause I have to kind of squat and bend over at the same time, it takes some practice, but Ive never cut myself doing it (it's pretty hard to nick yourself with these trimmers, and the one time I did get "bitten" by the trimmer, it was not really all that painful--felt like a pinch and it didnt really bleed for more than a moment cause it was such a tiny hole, like getting lightly pricked from a sewing needle)

I use this http://www.amazon.com/Philips-Hp6382-50-Trimmer-Shaving/dp/B00I471LQI but I didn't research before buying or anything, I'm pretty sure there are better types out there.

Hairy man butt problems? Buy this.

I bought it on purpose because men's products are still useless for crack/butthole hair. It's for women, but it's fucking amazing. You can get every hair, plus use it on your man sack. The teeth are so small, it doesn't even hurt, my sack is as smooth as can be. The head is at the perfect angle (90 degrees, like a garden rake) for getting the hair underneath. No awkward angles necessary. Plus it cuts so smooth, no prickle/razor burn. And no left over stubble, unlike using a razor, the teeth are so fine.

MY BUTTHOLE IS AMAZING. Yours can be too, brethren.

EDIT: Remember, don't press down, instead, drag it across the undercarriage.

I know you didn't ask, but I highly recommend this for trimming. I used to HATE grooming my pubes until I bought one of these things. It gives me a closer trim than I usually got myself and it takes a fraction of the time. I hate to sound like an infomercial, but I'm stupidly pleased with this thing. I recommended it to a friend, as well, and she uses it all the time now, too. Definitely ranks as one of my best impulse buys ever.

I've been successful at shaving without bumps for a couple years now thank god. The first thing I do is use a specific bikini trimmer. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SMIIR0W/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&th=1

After that I use a specific after shaving lotion and that's really, really helped. The first one I used for years was discontinued, so when I finished it, I started using Kerah Lane Organic Razor Bump & Ingrown Hair Formula and it's been great. I got it off Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01LX3H3B6/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1.

I think using both those things has really helped prevent ingrown hairs and irritation.

Have you tried shaving? I've only recently discovered it myself! I was very skeptical at first, but was tired of waxing and all of the terrible skin problems associated with it. I DO NOT ever use a razor blade and won't ever put a 'Gillette 3 blade' style razor that is traditionally used for men's faces and lady's legs near my face, EVER.

I use this exact product: http://www.amazon.ca/Braun-Silk-Epil-Bikini-Styler/dp/B004PXM3US/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1395732274&sr=8-3&keywords=bikini+trimmer

If you read the description it says you can use it on your face. It really works! I don't have 'stubble' and it is pretty impossible to cut yourself with. It's very gentle and very easy, I would highly recommend it! Here is a good video on non-battery powered 'facial razors' as well: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DA2N3oT3rU4

I've used something like this but a different brand and I really liked it :)

From a lady: they make combo trimmer/razers. Something like this. Then grab a washcloth, shave cream of choice, and (trust me on this) some gel style deodorant.

First, use the trimmer side to trim everything down short with the shortest guard setting. It doesn't have to be perfect, you're just clearing some bush so you can see the roots, so to speak. Second, hop on a warm shower, lather up, and delicately shave. As you finish a section, come by and gently scrub it with your washcloth. This will help reveal missed hairs, and I've found it reduces my chance of razor burn. When you are done with your shower, any place prone to ingrowns or chaffing gets the gel deodorant. Repeat with the washcloth and deodorant every shower, and reduce bumps and ingrowns. The key is to gently stretch the skin, not super taught, just enough to smooth things out. Don't apply a lot of pressure, and let the sharpness of the blade do the work. I find this is all too much work, and only so shave the bikini line, but trim the rest like step 1.

I use this. It's pretty much the best thing ever. I found it at Walmart for like 10 bucks.

I use these a few times a week and they last a good while before needing a new one. You can laser or electrolysis them but this method is affordable and easy. Just draw a template of what you want your eyebrow shape to be and scrape away what you don't want. Keeping them trimmed is easy with this after that. These also work great for scraping dead skin off your face every so often.

I recommend the Schick Quattro bikini trimmer. You can adjust the blades to trim at several different lengths, it's easy to use (just press a button to turn on!), and works quite well.

Legs and underarms: Epilator. I have this one and I like it.

Bikini: Sugaring and/or trimmer like this

Every once in a while I will trim my upper lip if it's grown in really dark with something like this

I use my wife's bikini trimmer (whatever you call it), the electric side with the guards. She doesn't use that side of the trimmer, device is waterproof, trim guard provides perfect length for pubic hair region, and trim guard makes me feel safe to use on nads + butthole area.

https://www.amazon.com/Schick-TrimStyle-Moisturizing-Bikini-Trimmer/dp/B00SMIIR0W/ref=sr_1_4_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1539271006&sr=8-4&keywords=female%2Bbikini%2Btrimmer&th=1

I got this for trimming about two years ago and never looked back. I usually take off the extender thingy and do a very close trim. It's perfect for all the tiny places down there.

Oh and it's much better than shaving because I never get those ingrown hairs anymore.

I have this one. I like it because it is

• cheap
  
  
• waterproof
  
  
• uses AA batteries (no fucking charger to lose)
  
  
• available with free Prime shipping!

I stay away from razors in general for my nether regions, and have had good luck with the Schick Quattro Trimstyle (https://www.amazon.com/Schick-Quattro-Trimstyle-Bikini-Trimmer/dp/B001TH8Q72/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1499892235&sr=8-2&keywords=schick+quattro+trimstyle). I only use the trimmer, and love it--it has a protective cover that you can either leave on, or remove to get a closer trim. Occasionally I will splurge and get a wax, but that's rare. I've never had any skin issues using the trimmer.

*Edited to add that I have had the same trimmer for over 5 years, and it's still going strong--all it needs is a battery change every few months, depending on how often I use it, and a quick rinse after using it.

i use this with shaving cream. I trim it first then shave and it comes out great!

I've been taking Biotin since about a year before HRT and I don't think that is the cause. I do know what you're talking about though. In the beginning of HRT I had a period where hair seemed more prevalent on my arms, but I think it was a temporary effect as my body adjusted to HRT. I would use a mini trimmer like this for a few months. I used the height attachment so hairs were about 1/2 inch long. It made the hair on my arms minimally visible.... but not like I was shaving my arms.

Not gonna lie, my wife's $10 schick with a trimmer on it. Works pretty well, it's lightweight, compact, and the trimmer portion is adjustable. I also have sets of Wahl and Andis clippers. Depends on what I'm scaping as I'm a midget sized wookie.

They actually make electric trimmers specifically for that area. I have a Phillips Bikini Perfect, and it's great.

I bought this one and it still works pretty well. Sometimes amazon will list it for $9.99 but right now it's $15.99 which still isn't bad.

I prefer wax at home for the area outside the bikini line. However, the ingrown hairs are still horrible.

Not shaving is the best answer. If I have to be at a textile beach, I don’t stare at anyone’s crotch, and I am sure no one stars at mine.
It’s neat to see how pubic hair goes through the same grow and shed functions as your head hair. If you need, you can get a beard trimmer for the lady garden.

https://www.amazon.com/Schick-TrimStyle-Moisturizing-Bikini-Trimmer/dp/B00SMIIR0W

This is the one I use. Sometimes I just use scissors.

I'm not gonna lie - yes, the epilator hurts.

I, personally, have got used to it and I sort of weirdly enjoy the sensation now, but yeah... it's pulling out hairs really quickly, so that's what it feels like. I physically exfoliate the areas I epilate to keep ingrowns at bay (I either use a loofa / use up my old St Ives Apricot Scrub) because otherwise, yes, I do find the odd ingrown (I generally spot them before they do anything nasty, and then just nudge them out with a tweezer tip). I know some people use ice-packs to numb themselves before epilating, but I don't bother.

For "down there" I just trim (I use the schick razor doodad that has a battery-operated little shaver on the back for a bit of topiary). I'm pretty au-natural, otherwise (I epilate or shave hairs that stray outside the area I'd consider "bikini safe").

https://www.amazon.com/Schick-Quattro-Trimstyle-Bikini-Trimmer/dp/B001TH8Q72

I'm a married lady. My husband knows better than to complain, and anything I do is for my own personal comfort and tastes. I think he does more "landscaping" than I do. ;)

I buy these, but that’s just because I have a ladystache and it’s $5, lol.

If you only need it for upper lip, I'd say get a smaller one like this, for instance. I have it and it works pretty well, but I upgraded because I needed one with a bigger head. I still use the smaller one on my upper lip.

You don't have to completely shave if you're uncomfortable with hair! Get an electric razor like this and just trim. (:

I can't give great advice on shaving since I was never really able to master it myself. I followed all the advice you'll get, but I have rather sensitive skin and it never really worked out right.

One thing that I can suggest is the Schick bikini trimmer. When I would shave, I would trim with this first, and it helped immensely since I spent so much less time shaving and irritating my skin. Also, I found that trimming as close as it would go was perfectly fine for me - it gives you a really close trim when you take the plastic guard off.

Then I discovered waxing. If you have the money to spend (depending on where you live, probably $45-75 per month), it is really the best option. It gets so incredibly smooth. Add some Bikini Zone or something similar to prevent bumps (which will be a lot less than what you'll get after shaving). Also, note that the first time will probably hurt a lot, but don't let this deter you. Each time you go back hurts drastically less. If you can get through the first wax, your fine for the rest.

this will help, the trimmer can trim back what's there to make it easier to shave. Go slow if you are worried and take your time.

Trim? This is pretty legit.

An electric trimmer. That’s the one I use. Nothing fancy and you can get it at Target or a drugstore. If you take the guard off completely you can trim pretty close to the skin.

Here you go:

https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0787GLBMV/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

This is the cheapest and best reviewed one for the money. You can spend as much as $75 if you want, but why?

Anyway this is what you're looking for: an "eyebrow razor".

This is generally a favorite.

Yes! Or you get one of those fancy razors with a trimmer on the back...

I use the Schick quatrro with the electric bikini razor. And use baby powder and gentle lotion for sensitive skin.

I use a Schick Quattro Bikini Trimmer. It gets crazy close, I love it.

Highly recommend these for chin hair and eyebrows

I wouldn't get a ring right away, the extra movement disrupts the healing of delicate new tissue on the inside of the piercing more than a labret stud.

I would also suggest that you tailor your beard style so that any hair around the piercing itself is shaved, because beard hair is prone to harboring bacteria. Once the piercing is healed you could go back to your normal beard style.

I'd recommend these for trimming the hair around the piercing until it's healed:

I think makes your makeup look smoother. I actually had to stop waxing all together back in January because I was having such bad reactions. I've been using a dermaplanning tool instead to remove hair and its been great! I feel like there is no difference between waxing and shaving as far as makeup application goes - same results!

Got this pack off Amazon:

Yeah something like this. You’ll see the little accessories include 2 different length eyebrow trimming guards. Can find at any CVS or Walmart for under $15.

LEARN FROM MY MISTAKE: always buy the ones marketing to women. I bought a “unisex” one when my last one broke and found out that the guards are way shorter and almost shaved a brow off entirely. 🤣

I use these for my sweaters and pants too sometimes. Just be gentle until you get a feel for how much pressure to apply. Use a lint roller to pickup the shaved off fuzzies.

This one! It's ok, nothing super special, and you could probably find a similar product for cheaper if you weren't as lazy as I am.

https://www.amazon.com/Philips-HP6378-Bikini-Perfect-Trimmer/dp/B00440F3GS

I'm not sure if it is "waterproof" but the box says wet or dry use. I've used it on damp hairs without problems.

I backpack travel full time, so I use one these types that are sold everywhere now : http://www.amazon.com/Schick-Quattro-Trimstyle-Bikini-Trimmer/dp/B001TH8Q72 I find it works suprisingly well, and may for you depending on your guard needs, but I normally use the shortest settings. It's really light, uses a AAA battery and breaks down small for travel.

Half expecting to see this: Bikini Trimmer Personal Pubic Hair Shaver Shaper Women https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NRB6256/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_1tpvzbGVJBF3B

I was looking at that one!
Is this one the same?

This is similar to what I use. TOTAL game changer!!

Schick Hydro Silk TrimStyle Moisturizing Razor for Women with Bikini Trimmer https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00SMIIR0W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_e9u0Bb6J1Y2GS

It depends on what kind of electric razor it is. If it's a bladed edge (like the kind you shave your head with) it's not possible to get completely smooth. If it's a foil razor (similar to a guy's facial razor) then you can get almost completely smooth. I only learned about the latter when I bought a razor that has interchangeable heads of each kind.

Edit: This is the one I have

Have you tried this

This one?

Pls..

This is what I use for my lady-stache

http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001TH8Q72/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1415812656&sr=8-1&pi=SY200_QL40

Sorry, I'm on my phone and I'm not very tech savvy.

Philips SatinShave Essential Women’s Electric Shaver for Legs, Cordless Wet and Dry Use. I didn't need a million attachments to lose. It's been working well for me so far but has only been a month.

Just so you have this information:

I have always had ingrown hair issues with shaving, and I used to get waxed by someone who was amazing. When it grew back it was softer and not all itchy and painful like when you shave. BUT that was when I was in college. After I graduated I moved cross country. I could never find someone as good and as inexpensive as her again and then it was HIGHLY unpleasant, nobody would listen to me when I said I wanted to keep most of the hair on the front where I thought it should grow and just get rid of the "extra" stuff around the edges, and I stopped doing it.

Now I just trim things and think it's fine. I bought one of those electric trimmer things from Target in the razor aisle, ~$25. Not the mini one -- the bigger one that's advertised for armpits. This one.

I use this. I put it at the shortest setting, and i get probably a 1/4 inch cut. You could definitely get a 1/2 inch cut.

I use the shick quattro electric trim blade.http://www.amazon.com/Schick-Quattro-Trimstyle-Bikini-Trimmer/dp/B001TH8Q72

Fantastic.

Edit: I used to use scissors but sometimes I'd cut myself. Ouch! Plus, this is much faster/easier clean-up.

I stopped getting razor burn on my legs after using an electric bikini shaver on them. I use this one: https://smile.amazon.com/Philips-SatinShave-Essential-HP6306-Electric/dp/B00K3FFIOA/ref=sr_1_1_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1506372967&sr=8-1&keywords=phillips+ladyshave

I don't use this product for facial hair but do use it for my bikini area. I'd tried a few - most charged via the mains - and usually had issues with the product getting fried after maybe a year of use (I'm guessing it was the fuses each time?). With the linked one, I've had no issues after over roughly 3 years. Even better is that the batteries last for ages in them. Another issue I had with other products is that they weren't waterproof so if they got wet in the shower, they'd start to go rusty, including the batteries. The linked one can be used under a flow of water, which is how I do it all the time. Potentially it could be used on the face (I've never tried). I use this one without the plastic guard so I get a very close trim, e.g. 1mm.

Maybe someone else will chime in on a product that can be used on the face.

I use this Phillips Bikini Trimmer because I prefer trimming with the shower going. The build quality is nice, and it's also wall charged!

Initially, I bought this which failed miserably. My hair was too straight/flat for the trimmer to properly cut, and the cutting mechanism... pulls(?) the hair a bit. That was not cool. Unfortunately it wasn't exactly a product I felt comfortable returning, haha.

It won't grow back "even more". Shaving doesn't cause more hair to grow.

Pick up something like this and trim it down as much as you can and then use the razor to shape/shave however you want. Exfoliating before helps and remember light but steady strokes when shaving. The more you shave over a spot, the more likely it will get irritated. And moisturize afterwards!

Same. If I've been particularly lazy, I use a bikini trimmer first.

You could try a personal trimmer like this . If you use it without the guard, you get a close cut and no ingrown hairs.

I've had the same problem. I liked waxing, but it's painful, expensive, and doesn't last. Shaving with a regular razor is terrible! I use this guy. If used properly, it gets you baby-smooth. Doesn't last super long, but it also doesn't irritate at all.
