Shaving intimate areas has never been more common than in 2025. Whether for comfort, hygiene, or aesthetic reasons, many people seek to maintain their sensitive areas. But between cuts, irritation, and ingrown hairs, the experience can quickly turn into a nightmare without the right equipment. In this comprehensive guide, discover how to choose your intimate trimmer and put an end to the hassle of intimate shaving.
How to choose your intimate trimmer in 2025?
Contrary to popular belief, not all trimmers are created equal when it comes to grooming your intimate areas. The skin in these areas is particularly thin and sensitive—a real challenge for conventional trimmers, which can easily cause cuts and irritation.
The essential criteria
Intimate trimmer technology has advanced significantly in recent years. Here are some key points to consider before making your choice:
The anti-cut system : This is THE number one priority. New blade guide technologies are specially designed to protect the skin in sensitive areas. These innovative guides maintain an optimal distance between the blade and your skin, making cuts virtually impossible even on the most delicate areas.
Ergonomics : Try shaving your testicles with a poorly designed trimmer and you'll quickly understand the importance of a good grip. An intimate trimmer should be compact, lightweight, and allow you to easily reach all areas without any perilous contortions.
Waterproof : A must-have for easy cleaning and shower use. Waterproof isn't just about comfort—it's also a guarantee of hygiene, as you can rinse your trimmer thoroughly after each use.
Lighting : Don't underestimate the power of a built-in LED. Some areas are naturally dimly lit, and precision is essential when it comes to sensitive areas. Good lighting can make all the difference between a stress-free shaving session and a high-wire act.
Budget is obviously a factor to consider, but remember that this is an investment in your comfort and safety. A quality lawnmower will save you a lot of hassle and last you many years.
Different areas = different needs
The reality is that our bodies aren't flat, uniform surfaces. Each area has its own unique characteristics, and therefore, its own challenges when it comes to shaving. Let's take a look:
The pubis
This is the "easy" zone. A relatively flat surface, accessible hairs. But be careful, the skin there is thinner than elsewhere and the hairs are coarser. As a result, it's the favorite playground for ingrown hairs. The ideal? A regular trim at the right height rather than a close shave that irritates.
The testicles
Ah, the area that makes even the most daring tremble! Ultra-thin skin, uneven and elastic surface... This is THE area where the right trimmer makes all the difference. With a conventional trimmer, it's Russian roulette. With a well-designed protective guide, you can go for it with your eyes closed (well, keep your eyes open anyway).
Between the buttocks
It's rarely discussed, but we all know it's an area that deserves our attention. The challenge? Limited accessibility and visibility. This is where a compact clipper with integrated lighting becomes your best ally. No more contortionist in front of the mirror.
The "bonus" parts
For those who want to go further, a good intimate trimmer can also take care of:
- From the torso (by adjusting the cutting height)
- Armpits (practical in summer)
- Legs (for athletes)
The advantage of having a trimmer specifically for sensitive areas? It's always gentler than your other devices, even on less delicate areas. It's a bit like owning a luxury car: once you've had a taste, it's hard to go back.
Anti-cut technologies: how do they really work?
In 2025, we've finally found THE solution for shaving without having to light a candle. Out with the imperfect systems, in with innovation that truly protects. But how does it actually work?
A question of guide
The secret isn't in the blade, but in the guide that protects it. Imagine an ultra-precise shield that always maintains the perfect distance between the blade and your skin. The result? The trimmer glides, cutting the hairs, but physically can't cut into the skin. Clever, right?
Precision above all
The game-changer is the specific design for intimate areas. We're not talking about a simple protective grid, but a real system designed to fit the shape of your most sensitive areas. The engineers really thought this through (yes, someone spent months thinking about your balls, you can thank them).
The importance of the head
- A perfect angle to reach all areas
- Compact size for precision
- Rounded edges throughout
- An optimized contact surface
Other innovations that matter
- The integrated LED to see what you are doing
- The quiet motor to avoid stressful vibrations
- Completely waterproof for easy cleaning
- Long battery life because running out of battery in the middle of the action, no thanks
The best part? This technology makes shaving so simple and safe that even the most stressed-out can go at it with their eyes closed (so to speak, keep your eyes open anyway).
Do you find this a bit technical? That's normal; it's true innovation. But in the end, what matters is that it works. No more stress, no more interruptions, just a perfect result in less than two minutes.
Use and maintenance guide: the basics to make it last
You've invested in a trimmer that protects your sensitive areas, now it's time to make it last. Here are some essential tips for caring for it and keeping it effective for a long time.
First use
No need for an engineering degree, but some basics to know:
- Charge fully before first use
- Start with the highest height
- Test on a small area first
- Take your time to familiarize yourself with your new toy.
The maintenance routine
It's like a car: a little regular attention and it will pay you back.
After each use
- Rinse the head under water (yes, it's waterproof)
- Dry everything well
- A quick brush stroke to remove any remaining hairs
Once a month
- Deeper head cleaning
- Checking the status of the guide
- A drop of oil if supplied with your clipper

Generally, change your blades every 3-4 months if you use them regularly. Signs that it's time:

A little common sense:
- Keep it dry

The real question is: what are you waiting for to upgrade your intimate routine?
Mistakes to avoid: learn from the struggles of others
We've all made mistakes, but it's best to avoid repeating them. Here are the classics to avoid for a successful intimate shave.
In choosing the mower
The "this will do" syndrome
- Using your beard trimmer for intimate areas
- Take the cheapest one "to try"
- Telling yourself that all guides are the same. Result: stress, cuts and regrets.
The false good deal

The Special FAQ Guide to Intimate Trimmers
Can all trimmers be used for intimate areas?
No, absolutely not. Conventional trimmers are not designed for the thin, sensitive skin of intimate areas. It's essential to use a trimmer specifically designed for these areas, with anti-cut technology and appropriate design and features.
How does anti-cut technology work?
The anti-cut technology relies on a specially designed guide that maintains an optimal distance between the blade and the skin. It's not the blade itself that makes the difference, but this ultra-precise shield that physically prevents the blade from cutting the skin while effectively cutting the hair.
Is it really safe to shave your testicles?
Yes, with a suitable trimmer like Billy. Its specific design with a protective guide allows for safe trimming even in this particularly delicate area. Since the skin on the testicles is thin and elastic, it's crucial to use a device designed specifically for this purpose. Of course, this doesn't prevent you from paying a little attention (going slowly and keeping the skin a little taut, for example).
What cutting height should I choose?
It all depends on your personal preferences! Here's a quick guide:
- 0mm: For a completely smooth look
- 3mm: The most popular, ideal for summer
- 6-9mm: To keep a moderate and stylish length
- 12mm: For a natural but maintained look
Can I use my intimate trimmer on other parts of my body?
Yes, a trimmer is still a trimmer! The Billy clipper, for example, can also handle the torso, underarms, legs, or any other area. Be careful, however, with beards, whose hairs, sometimes coarser, may require you to go a little more slowly over the area.
How to avoid ingrown hairs?
Well-designed intimate trimmers like Billy help prevent ingrown hairs because:
- They maintain an optimal cutting height
- They avoid cuts that are too close and irritating.
- They are less aggressive for the skin than a classic razor
How long does an intimate shaving session last?
With a suitable clipper like Billy, it takes less than 2 minutes, but you can take the time you need.
Can you use your intimate trimmer in the shower?
It depends on your mower, it must be 100% waterproof like the billy.
How often should the blades be changed?
It depends a lot on your use, if you use it often, it is recommended to change the blades every 3-4 months, otherwise every 6 months will be enough. In any case, if you feel a difference in cutting quality at any point, it is time to change the blade!
How to clean and maintain your intimate trimmer?
Maintenance is simple:
- After each use: rinse the head under water and dry the whole thing
- Once a month: more thorough cleaning if necessary.
Does it hurt to shave sensitive areas?
Not with a suitable trimmer like Billy's. Its special design and anti-cut blade allow for a comfortable shave without pain, pulling, or irritation, unlike traditional razors or unsuitable trimmers.
How much does a good intimate trimmer cost?
It depends on the clipper. With its premium finish, USB-C charging, and integrated LED, the Billy costs €79. It's an investment in your comfort and safety that will last for years to come. The charging base and replacement blades are additional purchases that can also be worthwhile to go with your Billy.
What is the difference between using a clipper and a razor?
A trimmer cuts hairs above the skin without damaging it, while a razor cuts them close to the skin by scraping the epidermis. The result: the intimate trimmer prevents irritation, cuts, and ingrown hairs, while providing a clean and stylish result.
