Shaving intimate areas special for the beach: Men's edition

Summer is fast approaching, and with it comes the question that many men ask themselves without daring to voice it: how to groom their intimate areas before putting on a swimsuit? Between a bushy pubis, hard-to-reach groin, and delicate testicles, male intimate grooming can seem complex. In 2025, is there finally a simple and safe solution for all these areas? Here is your complete guide for successful male intimate grooming.

When to groom your intimate areas before the beach?

Let's be direct, timing is essential when it comes to preparing your intimate areas for the beach. The number one rule? Never leave it to the last minute. The optimal timing is between 24 and 48 hours before your beach outing.Why this specific window?

• Your skin has time to recover from any micro-irritation
• Any potential redness completely disappears
• Regrowth is not yet sufficient to be prickly under the swimsuit
• The risks of ingrown hairs are better managed

Using a razor on your pubis, your groin, or your testicles the day before or on the same day as the beach is taking the risk of turning your relaxing day into a real ordeal. Saltwater or chlorinated water on freshly shaved skin, believe me, is an experience you will want to avoid.

Sea water and shaved intimate areas: a dangerous cocktail?

Sea water has certain recognized healing properties, but its interaction with freshly shaved intimate areas deserves your full attention.

The potentially beneficial effects of salt water

Sea water contains interesting natural elements:

• Natural antibacterial properties
• Magnesium that can soothe certain mild skin inflammations
• Minerals that aid in healing

But be careful, these benefits generally do not apply to freshly shaved skin!

The risks for recently groomed intimate areas

A freshly shaved skin in the intimate areas is particularly vulnerable:

• Intense dehydration : Salt draws water out of your skin through osmosis, worsening dryness
• Stinging pain : Sea salt on shaving micro-cuts can be extremely painful, especially in the groin area
• Natural pH disruption : Seawater can disrupt the protective bacterial flora
• Infection risks : Small cuts become entry points for marine bacteria

Male anatomy and its maintenance: zone by zone

Each male intimate area has its specificities and deserves an adapted approach.Let's see together how to maintain each part effectively.

The pubis: the most visible area

The pubis (or mons pubis) is the triangular area above the penis, covered with denser hair.It is she who can exceed the swimsuit:

• Issue : Hair is often thick and abundant, visible above the swimsuit
• Recommended maintenance : trimmer set between 3 and 9mm according to your preferences
• Difficulty : Low, the skin is relatively flat and easy to access

The base of the penis: a transition area

This intermediate area between the pubis and the penis requires special attention:

• Issue : Thinner skin, natural folds
• Recommended maintenance : trimmer set between 0 and 3mm
• Difficulty : Medium, requires good skin tension

The testicles: the most delicate area

The scrotum presents the greatest challenge due to its thin and wrinkled skin:

• Problem : High risk of cuts with traditional methods
• Recommended maintenance : trimmer billy at 0mm with extreme caution
• Difficulty : High, requires skin stretching and particular vigilance

The groin: the forgotten area

Often neglected, the junction between the top of the thighs and the scrotum deserves attention:

• Problem : Area of constant friction, high risk of irritation
• Recommended maintenance : trimmer set between 3 and 6mm
• Difficulty : Medium, sometimes complicated access

The perineum and the buttocks: the hidden areas

These areas, although not visible in swimwear, can benefit from maintenance for comfort and hygiene:

• Problematic : Difficult access, constant humidity
• Recommended maintenance : trimmer at 3-6mm or simply trim the longest hairs
• Difficulty : High, requires flexibility and good lighting

The trimmer billy: the complete solution for all male intimate areas

Billy vs traditional methods: what’s the difference for your intimate areas?

To maintain your intimate parts before the beach, several options are available to you. Let's look at the advantages and disadvantages of each method.

The traditional razor: risky but radical

The classic razor offers that perfectly smooth result that some seek:

• Completely hairless to the touch
• Maximum cleanliness sensation
• Total visibility of contours

But frankly, the disadvantages are numerous and significant:

• High risk of cuts on the delicate skin of the testicles and groin area
• Almost systematic irritations and itching on the pubis
• Often prickly and uncomfortable regrowth under the swimsuit
• Frequent ingrown hairs, particularly in the folds
• Need to redo very regularly

Depilatory cream: to be absolutely avoided for intimate areas

Some men are tempted by depilatory creams, but on intimate areas, it's rarely a good idea:

• Risks of chemical burns on sensitive areas
• Strong and unpleasant odor
• Results are often uneven
• Contraindicated for the testicles and perineum

Waxing: effective but painful

For those seeking a long-lasting result, wax may seem appealing:

• Result that lasts several weeks
• Softer regrowth than with a razor

But on male intimate areas:

• Intense pain, particularly on the testicles
• High risk of irritation and folliculitis
• Requires a certain hair length to be effective

The trimmer billy: the perfect balance for all areas

billy offers a different approach: an ultra-short trim (down to 0mm if desired) that respects the integrity of your skin, no matter the area.

• Main advantage : Total safety, even in the most delicate areas
• How does it work? Even at the minimum setting, billy trims hair close to the skin without risking cutting the skin itself
• Adaptation : Different settings for different areas (shorter on the pubis, less short on the testicles for example)

For the beach, this offers considerable advantages:

• Visually, the result is close to shaving
• To the touch, it's slightly different but just as pleasant
• No risk of showing up at the beach with cuts
• Easy maintenance of difficult areas like the groin
• Perfect for spontaneous weekends at the beach

In 2025, the majority of men have adopted this pragmatic solution: an aesthetically pleasing result without the risks or drawbacks of more hazardous traditional methods on sensitive areas.

Complete "before/after beach" protocol for impeccable intimate areas

For optimal maintenance of your intimate areas before and after the beach, here is the recommended protocol:

Before swimming

• Ideal timing : Maintenance 24-48 hours before the beach, never on the same morning
• Strategic protection : Apply a barrier cream on sensitive areas before entering the water
• Targeted hydration : Use a fragrance-free moisturizer specially designed for sensitive skin after your maintenance
• Safe method : Prefer the trimmer billy over a razor to avoid any risk of cuts

After swimming

• Immediate rinsing : As soon as you exit the water, rinse your areas thoroughly with fresh water
• Gentle drying : Pat gently rather than rubbing vigorously
• Repair care : Apply a soothing cream specifically for sensitive areas
• Suitable underwear : Opt for cotton boxers rather than tight briefs that could irritate

Emergency solutions: how to maintain your testicles at the last minute?

• Choose the trimmer billy rather than a razor to avoid any last-minute cutting risk
• Focus only on the areas that might exceed your swimsuit
• Hydrate generously after maintenance
• Avoid all scented products that could irritate

FAQ on male intimate grooming for the beach

How to groom the groin and testicles without irritation?

To maintain these sensitive areas without risk, the trimmer billy is the safest option thanks to its anti-cut technology. Unlike traditional razors, it cannot cut the delicate skin of the scrotum or groin. To minimize irritation, groom these areas 48 hours before the beach, moisturize well afterward, and avoid tight clothing that rubs against freshly groomed skin.

What hair length to choose for each intimate area?

The ideal length varies according to the areas and your personal preferences:

• Pubis : 3 to 9 mm for standard maintenance, 0-3 mm for a clean look
• Base of the penis : Generally 0-3 mm for a smooth transition
• Testicles : 0-3 mm, with 0 mm if you prefer a completely smooth appearance
• Inner thigh : 3-6 mm to avoid irritation from friction
• Perineum/between the buttocks : 3-9 mm depending on your personal comfort

The trimmer billy with its 5 cutting heights (0, 3, 6, 9, and 12 mm) allows you to adjust precisely according to each area.

How to maintain hard-to-reach areas like the perineum?

For hard-to-reach areas, here are a few tips:

• Use a mirror to see what you're doing better

• Adopt different positions (squatting, leg raised) for better access
• Take your time, it's the key to avoiding accidents
• Stretch the skin well to facilitate the passage of the trimmer

If some areas are really too difficult to reach alone, focus on those that are visible in swimwear.
