Summer is just around the corner, and with it, a question many men ask themselves without daring to ask: how should they care for their private parts before putting on a swimsuit? Between the bushy pubic area, the hard-to-reach crotch, and the delicate testicles, male intimate care can seem complex. In 2025, is there finally a simple and safe solution for all these areas? Here's your complete guide to successful male intimate care.
When should you take care of your intimate areas before the beach?
Let's be blunt: timing is everything when it comes to preparing your intimate areas for the beach. Rule number one? Never leave it to the last minute. The optimal timing is between 24 and 48 hours before your beach excursion. Why this specific window?
- Your skin has time to recover from any micro-irritation
- Any redness disappears completely
- The regrowth is not yet sufficient to be prickly under the swimsuit
- The risks of ingrown hairs are better managed
Using a razor on your pubic area, crotch, or testicles the day before or the day of your beach trip risks turning your relaxing day into a nightmare. Trust me, salt or chlorinated water on freshly shaved skin is an experience you'll want to avoid.
Seawater and shaved intimate areas: a dangerous cocktail?
Seawater has some 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, which can soothe some mild skin inflammations
- Minerals involved in healing
But be careful, these benefits generally do not apply to skin that has just been shaved!
Risks for recently groomed intimate areas
Freshly shaved skin in the intimate areas is particularly vulnerable:
- Severe dehydration : Salt draws water out of your skin by osmosis, worsening dryness
- Stinging pain : Sea salt on tiny razor cuts can be extremely painful, especially in the groin area.
- Disruption of natural pH : Seawater can unbalance the protective bacterial flora
- Risks of infection : Small cuts become entry points for marine bacteria
Male Anatomy and Its Maintenance: Zone by Zone
Each male intimate area has its own specific characteristics and deserves a tailored approach. Let's take a look at how to effectively care for each area.
The pubis: the most visible area
The pubis (or mons pubis) is the triangular area above the penis, covered with denser hair. This is what can protrude from a swimsuit:
- Problem : Hair is often thick and abundant, visible above the bikini line
- Recommended maintenance : Clipper 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 zone
This intermediate area between the pubis and the penis requires special attention:
- Problem : Thinner skin, natural folds
- Recommended maintenance : Clipper set between 0 and 3mm
- Difficulty : Medium, requires stretching the skin well
The testicles: the most delicate area
The bursae present the greatest challenge because of their thin, wrinkled skin:
- Problem : High risk of cuts with traditional methods
- Recommended maintenance : Billy clipper at 0mm with extreme caution
- Difficulty : High, requires stretching the skin and being particularly vigilant
The crotch: the forgotten area
Often overlooked, the junction between the upper thighs and the scrotum nevertheless deserves attention:
- Problem : Area of constant friction, high risk of irritation
- Recommended maintenance : Clipper set between 3 and 6mm
- Difficulty : Medium, access sometimes complicated
The perineum and the buttocks: the hidden areas
These areas, although not visible in a swimsuit, can benefit from maintenance for comfort and hygiene:
- Problem : Difficult access, constant humidity
- Recommended maintenance : Clipper to 3-6mm or simply cut the longer hairs
- Difficulty : High, requires flexibility and good lighting
The Billy trimmer: the complete solution for all male intimate areas
In 2025, men finally have access to tools specifically designed for male intimate care, a far cry from beard trimmers diverted from their original use.
Why the Billy Clipper is Revolutionizing Men's Intimate Grooming
The Billy intimate trimmer offers unparalleled benefits for the complete maintenance of men's intimate areas:

- Anti-ingrown hair technology unlike traditional razors which often cause this problem
- Ultra-fast use in less than 2 minutes for complete care of all your intimate areas

The big advantage? You can care for all your intimate areas—from your pubic area to your testicles, including your crotch and even your perineum—quickly and without any risk of cutting yourself. No more stress about cuts on sensitive areas or post-shaving irritation.
Billy vs. Traditional Methods: What's the Difference for Your Intimate Areas?
There are several options for maintaining your intimate areas before the beach. Let's take a look at the pros and cons of each method.
The traditional razor: risky but radical
The classic razor provides that perfectly smooth result that some people seek:
- Skin completely hairless to the touch
- Maximum feeling of cleanliness
- Full visibility of contours
But frankly, the drawbacks are numerous and significant:
- High risk of cuts on the thin skin of the testicles and crotch
- Almost systematic irritation and itching on the pubis
- Often itchy and uncomfortable regrowth under the swimsuit area
- Frequent ingrown hairs, especially in the folds
- Need to start again very regularly
Hair removal cream: absolutely avoid for intimate areas
Some men are tempted by hair removal creams, but on intimate areas, it is rarely a good idea:
- Risk of chemical burns on sensitive areas
- Strong and unpleasant odor
- Often uneven results
- Contraindicated for the testicles and perineum
Waxing: Effective but Painful
For those looking for a long-lasting result, waxing may seem appealing:
- Result that lasts several weeks
- Smoother regrowth than with a razor
But on male intimate areas:
- Severe pain, especially in the testicles
- High risk of irritation and folliculitis
- Requires a certain hair length to be effective
The Billy mower: the perfect balance for all areas
Billy offers a different approach: an ultra-short cut (down to 0mm if desired) that respects the integrity of your skin, whatever the area.
- Main advantage : Total safety, even in the most delicate areas
- How does it work? Even at the lowest setting, Billy cuts the 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 has considerable advantages:
- Visually, the result is close to shaving
- To the touch it is slightly different but just as pleasant
- No risk of showing up at the beach with cuts
- Ability to easily maintain difficult areas like the crotch
- Perfect for impromptu weekends at the beach
By 2025, the majority of men have adopted this pragmatic solution: an aesthetically pleasing result without the risks or drawbacks of more risky traditional methods on sensitive areas.
Complete "before/after beach" protocol for impeccable private parts
For optimal care of your private parts before and after the beach, here is the recommended protocol:
Before swimming
- Ideal timing : Interview 24-48 hours before the beach, never the same morning
- Strategic protection : Apply a barrier cream to sensitive areas before entering the water
- Targeted hydration : Use an unscented moisturizer specifically for sensitive skin after your treatment
- Safe method : Use a billy clipper rather than a razor to avoid any risk of cuts.
After swimming
- Immediate rinsing : As soon as you get out of the water, rinse your parts thoroughly with fresh water.
- Gentle drying : Pat gently rather than rubbing vigorously
- Restorative treatment : Apply a specific soothing cream for sensitive areas
- Suitable underwear : Choose cotton boxers rather than tight briefs that could irritate

- Choose a billy clipper instead of a razor to avoid any last-minute cuts.
- Focus only on areas that might be sticking out of your swimsuit.
- Moisturize generously after maintenance
- Avoid all scented products that could irritate
- Plan to apply a protective cream just before swimming
The 2025 trend: uninhibited men's grooming
In 2025, standards are evolving, and men are increasingly taking responsibility for the care of their private parts. The taboo is over; men's intimate hygiene is now an open and normal topic.
What matters most is your personal comfort. Whether you prefer a full maintenance, a simple highlight, or a more natural style, it's your choice. The important thing is to feel comfortable in your bikini line, not to conform to other people's expectations.
FAQs about men's intimate beach grooming
How to care for your crotch and testicles without irritation?
To safely groom these sensitive areas, the Billy trimmer is the safest option thanks to its anti-cut technology. Unlike traditional razors, it can't cut the thin skin of the scrotum or crotch. 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 length of hair should you choose for each intimate area?
The ideal length varies depending on the areas and your personal preferences:
- Pubis : 3 to 9 mm for standard maintenance, 0-3 mm for a clean look
- Penis base : Typically 0-3mm for a smooth transition
- Testicles : 0-3mm, with 0mm if you prefer a completely smooth look
- Crotch : 3-6mm to avoid irritation due to friction
- Perineum/between buttocks : 3-9mm depending on your personal comfort
The Billy trimmer with its 5 cutting heights (0, 3, 6, 9 and 12mm) allows you to adjust precisely according to each area.
How to care for hard-to-reach areas like the perineum?
For hard-to-reach areas, here are some tips:
- Use a mirror to see what you are doing better.
- Take advantage of Billy's LED lighting that illuminates dark areas
- Adopt different positions (squatting, leg raised) for better access
- Take your time, it's the key to avoiding accidents.
- Stretch the skin to make it easier to pass the clipper.
If certain areas are really too difficult to reach alone, focus on those that are visible in a swimsuit.
Conclusion: Your games, your rules
Whether you choose to completely groom your pubic area and testicles, simply trim the contours, or go more natural, the main thing is that you feel comfortable in your bikini line.
With proper preparation and the right tools like a billy mower, you can approach every beach day with confidence, without fear of stares or discomfort.
Remember: the beach is a place to relax, not a beauty contest. Make the choice that will make you feel good in your swimsuit and in your skin!
In 2025, your parts, your style—shaved, trimmed, or natural. The important thing is that it's your choice and you can fully enjoy summer without worrying about anything else.
