The Intimate Interview in 2025: Between Desires and Constraints
Taking care of yourself is important. Feeling good in your body and mind is important, too. But let's be honest: between work, social life, exercise, and everything else, personal care quickly becomes one more hassle in an already busy schedule (and clearly not necessarily a priority).
Beautician appointments that need to be scheduled weeks in advance, daily shaving that irritates, ingrown hairs that appear without warning... We all know these little worries that can quickly become sources of stress.
A New Approach to Intimate Care
In 2025, attitudes are changing. The numbers show it: 75% of French women maintain their intimate areas, but only 24% opt for full-body hair removal. Why? Probably because today, more than ever, we're seeking a balance between well-being and practicality. We want to feel beautiful and well-groomed without sacrificing our comfort or precious time .
Beyond the Diktats
There was a time when "all smooth" was the norm. Today, everyone finds their own style. Short, mid-length, different depending on the season or your mood... What matters is feeling good and confident, feeling good in your head and comfortable in your body . No need to follow imposed rules or inflict painful hair removal sessions on yourself if that's not your thing.
Intimate Care Options: A Look at the Bottom Line
The Razor: The Smooth But... Option
You're probably familiar with the traditional razor. Practical, inexpensive... but at what cost? Between the risk of cuts (ouch), irritation (ouch again), and ingrown hairs that come back more often than your ex, it might not be the ideal solution.
And again, not expensive if you take the low-end one in ugly plastic which no longer cuts in 2 passes, if you add a slightly better quality razor + the necessary products before and after passing the razor:
Before shaving:
- A gentle exfoliant specifically for the intimate area, to remove dead cells and prepare the skin
- A shaving gel or shaving cream specially designed for sensitive areas.
After shaving:
- A soothing moisturizing lotion, preferably one specially designed for the intimate area
- A soothing serum like Venus Daily Intimate Soothing Serum, which supports the skin's natural renewal process
- A specific aftershave balm
- Potentially an anti-friction stick to reduce post-shaving irritation
Who said shaving with a blade razor wasn't expensive 😂
Hair Removal: Effective but...
Hair removal is a bit like a toxic relationship: it hurts, it's expensive, and you always have to wait for the right moment. Not to mention scheduling appointments based on the ideal regrowth length. Not very practical when you have a busy life, BUT it's clearly the best method for having extra soft skin and very smooth regrowth.
The Lawnmower: The 2025 Solution
The intimate trimmer is a bit like having a personal hairdresser for your intimate areas. You use it whenever you want, however you want, and above all: zero stress! No cuts, no appointments to make, you choose your haircut (or at least the size of the cut) and you get immediate and fast results.
Why the Lawn Mower is a Game Changer
Let's be honest: what are we really looking for in our intimate areas?
Safety, comfort, and, if possible, affordability. The lawnmower ticks all these boxes.
You can use it on any area (yes, all!) without risk of injury. The mons pubis, the groin creases, the bikini area... everything is easily and safely accessible.
Budget Question
Let's do the math simply: Hair removal at a salon costs around €2,000 per year (ouch). Razors and blades quickly add up to €300-400 per year. A good trimmer? A one-time investment of around €70-80.
How to Choose Your Lawn Mower?
Not all trimmers are created equal, especially when it comes to intimate areas. There are a few key points to consider before making your choice.
The Blade is THE Priority
The first thing to look at? Blade technology. It's not just a piece of metal; it's what will make all the difference between a pleasant experience and... well, a less pleasant one. A good blade should be skin-friendly (yes, because it still has to cut hair...) and designed specifically for sensitive areas whenever possible.
Ergonomics for Women
Your trimmer should be easy to handle, even in the most acrobatic positions (we all know what we're talking about). A good grip, a suitable size, and above all a design that allows you to reach all areas without turning into a contortionist. When you can't see anything (you know exactly where I'm talking about), a small integrated light is welcome so you don't have to hold your phone's lamp in front of your parts while you shave the other one 😂 (I've heard of it before...)
The Anti Ingrown Hair Blade
A good intimate trimmer is also a trimmer that prevents ingrown hairs... (we all hate them...) If it is well designed, the intimate trimmer will not shave the hair close to the skin or right under the skin to prevent ingrown hairs. It will leave a mini length above the upper part of the skin so that the hair can grow back directly outside its pores and therefore make ingrown hairs impossible in your intimate areas.
The Must-Haves of 2025
In short, in 2025, on your special mower, certain features have become essential:
- An integrated LED to clearly see what you are doing (no more dark and inaccessible areas!)
- A waterproof ceramic blade that cuts ultra well
- A waterproof system to use in the shower if you want
- A battery that lasts (no one wants to run out of power in the middle of the action)
- USB-C charging (because it's 2025!!!! What are these hellish chargers that the big brands are bringing out, the thing you can never find)
- Accessories to adjust the length according to your wishes
- And as much style as possible!! (Nobody wants a big ugly thing in their bathroom, and I'm just talking about lawnmowers here 😂)
Daily Use
The First Time
For your first use, take your time. Start with the easiest areas. The pubic mound is perfect for getting the hang of it. Once you've got the hang of it, you can move on to the more technical areas. If you're not sure which size you want, obviously start with the longest (9mm or 12mm).
The More Delicate Areas
For the groin creases and bikini line, the technique is simple: gently stretch the skin with one hand while you run the trimmer with the other. No need to press hard, just let the device do the work. (PS: Now's the time to turn on the LED if you haven't already.)
The Ideal Timing
The good news? You can use your trimmer whenever you want. No need to wait for specific hair growth like with hair removal. A quick touch-up before a date? It's possible. A quick pre-pool routine? No problem.
Clippers, Hair Removal, Beautician: How to Make the Right Mix?
Let's be clear: trimmers aren't necessarily there to replace all your habits. Rather, they're a super-handy new tool in your beauty routine. Let's see how to mix the different methods intelligently.
Which Method for Which Time?
Clippers are your everyday ally. You can use them whenever you want to keep your area neat and tidy. Perfect for last-minute touch-ups (you know, that date with a crush you forgot about that's in 20 minutes...) or regular maintenance.
Hair removal has its place for special occasions. Are you going on vacation and want to be at peace for two weeks? Hair removal remains an interesting option. However, between two waxing sessions, the trimmer becomes your best friend to keep everything presentable. When you go on vacation, even if you've been to the beautician, remember to take your billy, activate its travel mode and make sure to charge it well before leaving, its battery will last more than the duration of your vacation and you can do touch-ups if necessary ;)
A Planning That Makes Sense
In summer, for example, you can wax at the beginning of the season, then use your trimmer for maintenance between sessions. This allows you to keep your area groomed without the hassle of waxing every three weeks.
For everyday use, clippers are more than enough. A quick pass every 3-4 days (or whenever you feel like it), and you're done. No hassle, no appointments to schedule.
According to your "Situation"
Let's not kid ourselves, once you're settled in as a couple, the beautician can be a bit too much. A quick clipper to keep everything looking neat should be more than enough to keep our partner happy, right? 😬
If you're single and it's an important date, well... maybe you'll want to be super clean and waxing would be a good idea, BUT not mandatory! Your partner, crush or not, must accept you as you are ☺️
The Moments When the Lawn Mower Becomes Indispensable
- When you have a surprise (or forgotten) date
- Between two waxings
- During the holidays for alterations
- When you don't have time to go to the beautician
- For regular maintenance without the hassle
The Latest Tips to Get You Started
The Daily Interview
Your clippers deserve as much attention as your favorite hairdryer. A quick cleaning after each use, and they'll thank you. It's super simple: a quick brush, a rinse if they're waterproof, and you're done. No need to be a maintenance expert!
The Questions We All Ask Ourselves
"Does it hurt?" No! Absolutely not. Technology has evolved a lot in 2025.
"Is regrowth bothersome?" Much less so than with a razor, I promise.
"What if I have sensitive skin?" It's designed for just that, just don't force it when you clip!
Mistakes to Avoid
We've all made mistakes, so we might as well avoid them:
- Do not force the skin - the trimmer does the work by itself
- Don't forget to charge it (nothing more frustrating than a lawnmower that breaks down in the middle of the job, but with Billy, you really have to have overcharged it...)
- Don't neglect cleaning - it's the basis for good hygiene
Conclusion: Find Your Style
In 2025, intimate grooming is no longer a constraint but a choice. Whether you prefer a short, a slightly longer style, or a mix of both depending on the season, the important thing is to feel good. Clippers give you that freedom: the freedom to choose your style, when you want, how you want.
An intimate trimmer is a bit like a good bra: once you find the right one, you can't live without it. It's the freedom to take care of yourself whenever you want, without constraints or stress.
So, ready to revolutionize your beauty routine?
FAQ: Everything you want to know about intimate trimmers for women
Does it hurt to use an intimate trimmer?
No! This is precisely the main advantage of clippers over other methods. The blade technology in modern clippers like the billy clipper is specifically designed to avoid direct contact with the skin. You can use it without fear, even on the most sensitive areas.
Can trimmers cause irritation or ingrown hairs?
It depends on the trimmer, of course, but let's talk about the billy trimmer here: Unlike a razor, which cuts the hair close to the skin (or even below), the intimate trimmer leaves a tiny length that allows the hair to grow back naturally without becoming ingrown. This is why regrowth is also much more comfortable than with a conventional razor.
How long do you need to have hair to use an intimate trimmer?
This is one of the great advantages of trimmers: you can use them regardless of hair length! There's no need to wait for specific hair growth like with hair removal. Whether your hair is very short or long, the trimmer will do its job effectively.
How do I clean my intimate trimmer?
Super easy! If your trimmer is waterproof like the Billy, you can simply rinse it under water after use. For a more thorough cleaning, use the small brush provided to remove hairs stuck in the blades. No need for special products or complicated techniques.
How long does a battery charge last?
For the Billy, a full charge will last you several sessions of use. Typically, you can expect 60 to 90 minutes of battery life, which is more than enough for several weeks of regular use. And with USB-C charging, you can quickly recharge it anywhere.
Can you use an intimate trimmer in the shower?
Absolutely, if it's waterproof like the Billy! This is often the ideal time: the skin is more supple, the pores are open, and the hairs are easier to cut. With a waterproof trimmer like the Billy, you can combine your intimate care with your daily shower. Practical, right?
What is the difference between a classic trimmer and a trimmer specifically for intimate areas?
Excellent question! A trimmer for intimate areas like the Billy is designed with:
- A narrower blade specially designed to avoid cuts on very thin skin
- An ergonomic design adapted to the curves of the female body
- Clogs of different lengths for different desires and areas
- A more compact size for better handling
- A quieter sound level (because no one wants lawnmower noise in their bathroom)
- An integrated light to see what you are doing for example
How to choose between different brands of intimate trimmers?
There are several options on the market today. Here's a comparison of the main intimate trimmers available:
Brand | Model | Main highlights |
---|---|---|
Philips | BikiniGenie BRT383/I5 | Softness, precision, accessories, waterproof |
Remington | Smooth & Silky BKT4000 | Value for money, waterproof, easy to use |
Brown | Silk-épil 9 9-890 | High-end, precision, accessories |
Brown | Silk Epil Bikini Styler FG | Precision, sensitive areas, autonomy |
Veet | Sensitive Precision Expert Beauty Styler | Versatility, accessories, waterproof |
Billy | Intimate Trimmer | Premium design, integrated LED, anti-cut ceramic blade, anti-ingrown hair, 5 cutting heights, 100% waterproof, long-lasting battery, USB-C |
As you can see, each brand has its advantages, but only Billy combines all the essential features with a stylish design and technology specifically developed for intimate areas.
How long does a trimmer session last?
It's super fast! With an efficient trimmer like the Billy, you can groom your intimate area in just 2 to 5 minutes. No need to block off an hour in your schedule like you would for a hair removal appointment.
Can I use my intimate trimmer on other parts of my body?
Absolutely! Your intimate trimmer is perfect for all sensitive and intimate areas: the pubis, the labia majora, the labia minora, the perineum, the intergluteal cleft (the sif for those in the know), the anus, the buttocks, but also the armpits, the legs, the bikini line, the stomach and even the breasts if necessary! Its special anti-cut blade makes it even safer than a classic trimmer for these delicate areas where the skin is thin and where the risk of cuts or irritation is usually high.
How often should I change my lawnmower blade?
For optimal performance, it is recommended to change the blade every 3 to 6 months depending on frequency of use. It's like toothbrushes, they wear out! With the Billy, changing the blade is a breeze, and replacement blades are available directly on our website.
How do I know which cutting height to choose?
It's really a matter of personal preference. If you're just starting out, start with the longest height (9 or 12mm) and then gradually reduce until you find the style you like. The advantage with billy is that you can vary the heights depending on the area or the season!
Is the trimmer suitable for all skin types, even the most sensitive?
Absolutely! Clippers are even particularly recommended for sensitive skin since they avoid direct contact between the blade and the skin. They don't pull out hairs (unlike waxing) and don't require chemicals (unlike depilatory creams). It's the gentlest method for sensitive skin. And since they also protect you from irritation and ingrown hairs, you don't need to apply moisturizers or protectants before or after.
Can I take my lawnmower when traveling?
Of course! The Billy is designed to be portable, with a travel mode that locks the buttons to prevent it from accidentally turning on in your bag. Compact and rechargeable via USB-C, it goes everywhere with you without a hitch. No more stress about airport security with razor blades!
