Keep a shaving kit ready that has sharp new blades and shaving cream that’s meant for genitals and intimate areas for men.
Have a first aid kit ready just in case something goes wrong.
Make sure that the mirror is clean, you have cold water ready, and the room is well-lit.

Choose The Right Trimmer

To find the right trimmer for your intimate area, you need to consider these features in it:

Water resistance: Your trimmer should be able to resist water because it’ll be easier for you to clean it later on.
Blade quality: Always look for the blade quality, material, and its life suggested by the manufacturer.
Adjustable length settings: If you don’t want a fully clean intimate area, then your trimmer should have an adjustable length option.
Handling: The trimmer’s shape and size should be in such a way that it becomes easy to manoeuvre and handle.
Battery: The battery should be capable of fast charging and have a high power holding capacity.

Preparing Your Trimmer

Please make sure that you have charged your trimmer beforehand and that the battery is cooled down before you use it.
Unplug it and brush off all the hair, dust, and dirt in it.
If it is water-resistant, then please rinse the trimmer with water, dry it, and make sure that it’s completely dry before using it.

Trimming

Let’s see how to trim pubic hair.

Use a dry cloth and wipe your pubic area so that it’s clean, and dry, and the hair is a little loosened up.
Adjust the length.
Start from the top, near your penile shaft and proceed to the bottom.
Once you have taken 2-3 strokes, brush off all the long hair from the trimmer.
Resume and move to the balls. Make sure that you hold the balls in such a manner that the skin on it is tight.
Keep trimming and don’t forget to brush off long hair from the trimmer or they’ll affect trimming.
Once you believe that it’s completed, wipe off all the hair from the hair and visually check if there’s any long hair remaining. Trim them if needed.

So that’s how to trim pubic hair for men.

Aftercare

If you feel even a slight burning sensation, use an ice pack there. Then check for any potential cuts or blood.
Apply a moisturising lotion even if it doesn’t feel burning.
Keep the area opened up for 2-3 minutes so that the skin can relieve.

Method 2: Shaving Your Pubic Hair With A Razor

Method 2 Shaving Your Pubic Hair With A Razor Let’s see how to shave down there men with a razor.

Choose The Right Razor

Made for specific use: See if the razor is specifically designed for shaving your pubic area or not.
Brand: A good quality brand means that the blade and handle quality will be excellent.
Guarded blades: Some razors have guarded blades that help avoid cuts especially on the sensitive areas and allow better manoeuvring.
Handle grip: A razor with a rubber or silicone grip will be better in case your palms get sweaty or if there’s slight water on your hands.
Blades: Some blades come in hypoallergenic form and some are coated blades. Check for that in your razor.

Preparing Your Bottom

To get the best shaving experience:

Trim your long hair to a short length so it becomes easy to shave them.
Wash your intimate area with cold water, so there are no microorganisms or foreign particles there.
Dry the area with a terry towel or clean rug.

Shaving Your Bottom

Here’s how to shave down there without getting bumps:

Start shaving your hair below your belly button and reach your penile shaft.
Keep using a brush to remove those long hair from the razor regularly.
Shave all the regions that surround the penile shaft and proceed to the balls.
If you wish to shave the balls too, do so, but be very careful.
You can squeeze the balls so that the skin gets stretched and you don’t get cuts easily.
Now move to the anal region and the area between the legs.
Once done, wipe off all the hair and see if there’s any region remaining that you would like to shave.

Aftercare

Rinse the area with clean and cold water and pat dry. Then if you feel any sensation of cuts or burning, apply some antiseptic cream that’s suited for genitals. Please keep the area clean and dry. If there’s no cut or irritation, put some moisturising lotion on and done.

Method 3: IPL Treatment With A Ulike IPL Device

This section tells how to shave down there men with Ulike IPL hair removal.

What’s A Ulike IPL Device?

An IPL device is a small device like a razor that shoots intense pulse rays. These rays are of different wavelengths that can penetrate your skin just like lasers and destroy the hair roots. As a result, when the hair roots get damaged, your hair will start shedding and you will get hair-free skin for a much longer time than shaving and trimming.

IPL helps in getting much better results than any other hair removal technique.
It’s much cheaper than salon treatments.
You can do this treatment at home in just 10 to 15 minutes.
You don’t need expert skills to use this device.
This device is very much safer than trimming and shaving your intimate area.
Some IPL devices are specifically designed for use on genitals and intimate areas.

Getting Ready

IPL treatment needs that the hair should be no longer than 0.25 to 0.5 inches at most. Trim your long hair before beginning.
Wipe off all the hair, wash the area, and dry it well with a towel.
Make sure that the IPL device is fully charged.
Keep your safety eyewear, moisturising lotion, and a first aid kit ready.

Treating Your Intimate Area

Start from the bottom of your belly button or above the penile shaft.
Keep the device touching your skin and make sure that you’re wearing safety glasses.
Trigger the button and it’ll shoot the IPL through your skin. This should hardly take a second.
Then move the device to another region and repeat the process until you cover the entire area.

Aftercare

Your underwear and pants will cover the intimate area, so sunscreen isn’t mandatory. But you can use an aftercare lotion like a moisturiser or any irritation relieving serums that you often use.

Tips To Stay Safe During Trimming & Shaving

Keep The Area Clean

When you keep the intimate area clean, you’re discouraging any microorganism build up, which can otherwise cause skin infections later on. Any dust or dirt on the skin can cause the razor to give you cuts, scratches, or burns, so keep the area clean.

Use A Gentle Touch

The intimate area is very sensitive and the skin is very soft. You need to keep your touch very gentle and keep a soft grip on the handle because a tight grip can make your touch harsh.

Exfoliate Regularly

You need to exfoliate regularly, so there’s less chance of ingrown hair and dead skin cells building up. Also, the shaving effect will be longer if you exfoliate regularly.

Follow Instructions

Sometimes IPL devices, razors, and trimmers have special instructions printed on their packages, which you should read carefully. These instructions are meant for better results and user experience.

Conclusion

After getting an idea of the top 3 hair removal techniques it’s your final decision, which one to go with. All of them have their specific uses, so see which one is best for your preferences. If you want a clean and soft area, then we say that you go with shaving. But shaving is very risky, which is why an IPL device is a better solution. Along with the right method, also focus on aftercare because skipping that can give you a lot of skin irritation later on. The intimate area isn’t a region where you should be experimenting, so stick to the proper instructions.
