Having the right beauty tools is always essential, but that’s especially true when you’re giving yourself a special haircut down there. Choosing the best bikini trimmer is crucial for keeping the delicate skin safe and getting the results you want. Just think about how using the best razors for women gives you a super clean shave, the best face shavers for women get rid of peach fuzz, or how the best electric shavers for women leave skin silky smooth. However, even if you opt for a top shaving tool, knowing how to use it is just as important.
“The correct orientation of the trimmer is key for the achievement of a good result,” says Benjamin Wilson, Designer & Director of Design and Technology Communications, Braun. “This applies to any trimmer.” If you want to cut the hair as short as possible, he suggests using the trimmer without the trimmer comb. If you’re looking to shape the hair, use the trimmer with the tips pointed toward the skin.
To ensure smooth sailing, prep the skin beforehand. “Prior to shaving or shaping with a trimmer, it’s great to start with an exfoliation and cleansing step,” says Elizabeth Compo, Senior Product Research Scientist for Venus.
