Complete Guide: How to Shave Your Testicles Safely [2025]

In 2025, shaving your testicles should no longer be a source of stress. Between the risky techniques and the approximate advice, it's time to take stock of the method that really works.

A big summary of methods of hair removal and shaving of the testicles

Methods not recommended

Pulsed light and laser hair removal are strongly discouraged for the testicles due to the significant risks

. These methods can cause:

• Burns on thin, sensitive skin
• Severe pain
• Permanent damage to tissues, blood vessels and nerves
• A potential risk to fertility (in the case of laser)

Recommended methods

For testicle hair removal, it is best to use a dedicated electric trimmer or one with a specific protective guard. Hair clippers are really to be avoided, while body trimmers can do the trick but you generally need to go over each area quite a few times to cut everything. Especially since some hairs in this area can be very fine and therefore difficult to cut for a traditional / body trimmer.

Risks and precautions

• Cuts and irritations
• Ingrown hairs
• Scars from major cuts and complications
• Functional problems such as chronic irritation or loss of sensation

Statistics and trends

• 45% of French people remove hair from their private parts
• This practice is more common among young people: 62% of men aged 18-34 compared to 25% of those over 60.
• 82% of men use a razor or trimmer for intimate hair removal
• 41% choose to epilate in the shower (rather in hand razor mode because very few trimmers are waterproof, unlike billy ;) )

Important Considerations

• Frequency of hair removal increases risks: monthly hair removal doubles the risk of accidents
• The effects on fertility are not clearly established, but some professionals recommend caution, especially with methods using heat.
• It is advisable to consult a healthcare professional or a male hair removal specialist if you have any doubts.

Testicles, a real subject on the hair side

Let's talk about anatomy

The skin on your testicles is not like the skin on your face or even your pubic area. Ultra thin, super elastic and constantly moving. Imagine trying to shave a half-inflated balloon... Do you see the challenge?

What do we call them? What exactly are we talking about?

Okay, let's get straight to the point. In this article, we're going to talk about your testicles. And yes, there are plenty of ways to name them, some more appropriate than others depending on the context.

At the doctor's office, your doctor will talk about "testicles" or "genital area". In everyday life, we more naturally talk about "scrotum". With friends, it quickly becomes "balls", "balls" or "balls", let's not lie to each other. And when we want to remain polite while being relaxed, we bring out the classic "family jewels". But if you come to talk to us on the chat or on insta, be relaxed, you can call it whatever you want 😘

In 2025, we can finally talk about this sensitive area without taboo or vulgarity. So in this guide, we will mainly use "testicles" and "scrotum" to remain clear and natural. Because no matter what you call them, the important thing is to know how to take care of them properly.

The bottom line? These are your sensitive parts, and they deserve the best tools and techniques for their care. Whether you call them one thing or another, the following tips apply to all of them!

A unique sensitivity

There's a reason they say "sensitive as testicles":

• A huge concentration of nerve endings
• Skin twice as thin as elsewhere
• An area that reacts to the slightest contact

The risks we want to avoid

Let's talk frankly, here is what you risk with bad equipment or bad technique:

• Cuts (ouch)
• Irritations that can last for days
• Ingrown hairs (the hassle)
• Itching during regrowth

Myths to forget

"You have to stretch the skin as much as possible" ❌ FALSE: A slight tension is enough, too much tension increases the risks

“The shorter the better” ❌ FALSE: Keeping your hair short reduces irritation and ingrown hairs

“Any clipper will do” ❌ VERY FALSE: It’s like doing surgery with a butter knife

“The manual razor is more precise” ❌ DANGEROUS: Unless you have ninja training

The truth that sets free

In 2025, we finally have the technology to do this well. The key? A protective guide that makes cuts physically impossible, a suitable blade, and above all: a technique that respects the anatomy of the area.

What's next? We're going to look at the essential equipment to do this like a pro. Because your family jewels deserve better than a "we'll see what happens" shave.

Why a special mower?

The difference with a classic lawnmower

Your beard trimmer isn't meant for this, period. It's like using hedge trimmers to give you a manicure. Here's what to look for:

• A special guide for sensitive areas
• Blades suitable for curved surfaces
• Minimal vibrations
• Real anti-cut protection

Technology that protects

In 2025, we finally have solutions that work. The best? A protection guide that makes cuts physically impossible. No "be careful" or "take it easy". No. It's impossible to cut yourself, period.

The essential accessories

The basic kit

• A special trimmer for sensitive areas
• Good lighting (ideally integrated LED)
• Unscented soothing products
• A dedicated towel (yes, dedicated)

Additional material

• A stable storage rack
• Suitable cleaning equipment
• Clogs of different sizes
• A carrying case

Equipment Mistakes to Avoid

Material to ban

False economies

Preparation: the step we often forget

Perfect timing

• Prefer the morning after the shower
• Avoid stressful or rushed moments
• Plan for 5 quiet minutes (with Billy anyway, otherwise it's much longer)
• Choose a well-lit area (otherwise turn on the billy's LED to see clearly)

The pre-shave routine

• Hot shower to soften hair
• Complete drying of the area
• Checking your hardware
• Clear and clean workspace

The shaving technique

The first question that often comes up: how to go about it? To take care of your testicles, the position is crucial. Standing, legs slightly apart, is the safest technique. For more comfort, you can also try the sitting position - even on the toilet, it is effective.

The basic technique

Seeing what you're doing is key. A well-placed mirror will help you access all areas of your balls without contortions. Billy's LED is especially useful here - it shines precisely where you need it.

The right actions to take

Gentleness is essential for your balls. Forget about sudden or hasty movements. A slight tension of the skin is enough - just enough to stabilize the area. Always follow the natural direction of the hair, and above all, take your time.

The zone-by-zone approach

Start at the top of the testicles - this is the most accessible part. Then move to the sides, maintaining controlled movements. The underside last, this is often the trickiest part.

A tip: check the result regularly. The goal is to obtain a uniform result without risking irritation.

The ideal positioning

• Standing or sitting position (you can even try it on the toilet), legs slightly apart
• A well-placed mirror (it can help!)
• Good light (natural or billy's LED)
  

The right actions

• Smooth and controlled movements
• Slightly tight skin (without excess)
• Follow the direction of the hair
• Take your time
• Keep the metal blade guide skin side down and never put the moving blade side skin side down!

Zone by zone

• Start from the top (the easy part)
• Move to the sides smoothly
• The bottom last
• Check the result regularly

Special points of attention

Delicate areas

• The groin crease (take it easy)
• The perineum (pay attention to the angle)
• Natural folds (stretch slightly)
• The base of the penis (important detail)

Why Billy Changes Everything in 2025

If I use a billy, what should I do?

The blade of your billy is specially designed not to be able to cut the skin. You just have to be careful to leave the metal side (the anti-cut guide) on the skin side.

The cutting guide is made to leave half a millimeter of hair protruding to prevent ingrown hairs when they grow back.

And because the ceramic blade is ultra precise and efficient, no need to press hard, you can slide gently along the skin and it will cut only what needs to be cut ;)

If you feel the need, you can always use a moisturizer afterwards, but it is not mandatory.

Billy is going to change the game

With billy, testicle shaving finally enters the 21st century. Gone are the days of juggling different tools or taking risks with unsuitable equipment. The real revolution? A blade with a specially designed protective guide that makes cuts physically impossible. This is not marketing: this is engineering designed for your most sensitive parts.

What makes billy different is its all-in-one approach. An integrated LED to see exactly what you're doing. A guide that perfectly follows natural curves. Ergonomics designed for hard-to-reach areas. And above all, technology that allows you to put an end to stress in less than 2 minutes.

But the real game-changer is the confidence it brings. No more holding your breath every time you pass. No more shaving sessions that turn into yoga sessions to find the right angle. With billy, it's simple: you follow the zones, the trimmer does the rest. The result? Fast, safe and efficient maintenance, without compromising on safety.

The final word: just take care of yourself

In 2025, taking care of your private parts should no longer be a source of stress or embarrassment. Whether you are a beginner or an expert in shaving your testicles, the most important thing is to follow a few simple rules:

Key points to remember

• Invest in the right equipment (your sensitive parts deserve the best)
• Take your time (it's not a race)
• Follow the steps (preparation is key)
• Listen to your body (if it pulls or burns, stop)

The Golden Rule

The best results come from a regular routine, not from spaced-out intensive sessions. It's like going to the gym: it's better to go often and gently than rarely and hard.

One last thing...

Don't let the fear of cuts or the stress of shaving ruin your life anymore. With the right techniques and tools like billy, maintaining your intimate parts becomes as simple as a daily routine.

Remember: there is no universal “right” way. The most important thing is to find WHAT WORKS FOR YOU. Whether you prefer to shave everything or just maintain, the most important thing is to do it safely and with respect for your body.

In 2025, we finally have the tools and knowledge to do it right. So enjoy it, take care of yourself, and say goodbye to the stress of intimate shaving.

And never forget: your family jewels deserve the best!
