The 19 Best Bikini Trimmers for Touch-Ups, Trims, and More

Add these popular tools to your body-care rotation.

By Tiffany Dodson and Lindy Segal

Seamlessly removing body hair can sometimes be tricky, but when it comes down to keeping your bikini line neat and tidy, taking extra precaution to avoid unnecessary nicks and bumps is key. Not only is the skin "down there" generally a little more sensitive than other areas of the body, but the hair that makes up your pubic area also tends to be thicker and more coarse. And although it might be tempting to jump in and just get rid of everything, experts suggest that the right preparation can truly make all the difference.

“Make sure pubic area skin and hair is clean and dry,” R&D Scientist for Gillette Venus Caitlin Orszulak tells BAZAAR.com. “It also helps if you’ve exfoliated the area before trimming to reduce potential ingrown hair," she adds. "Many people will exfoliate and cleanse in the shower and then proceed to trim once they’ve completely dried off.”

As far as mechanics go when actually grooming your bikini line, Orszulak suggests holding skin taut with one hand while trimming with the other. “Flattening the skin makes it easier to remove the hair consistently and comfortably,” she recommends. In addition to maintaining a clean, taught surface prior to removal, having the right tools at your disposal can mean the difference between a silky smooth finish and a bumpy bikini line.

Whether an expert appointment isn't in the cards or you simply prefer being your own body care professional, we've rounded up some of the best bikini trimmers shoppers are raving about, from top brands like Gillette, Fur, and more. These gentle yet powerful tools make the hair removal process super easy.

                                    best bikini trimmers 2023

                                    How can I prevent ingrown hairs when trimming my bikini area?

                                    According to experts, since the hair around your vulva is coarser and curlier than the rest of the hair on your body, it's more susceptible to ingrown hairs. Exfoliating the area with a chemical exfoliant like lactic or salicylic acid to get rid of dead skin cells before reaching for your device is a key way to avoid potential ingrowns. Additionally, trimming in the direction of your hair growth and avoiding the closest setting can be helpful.
