How to Trim and Shave Pubic Hair

Hair grows all across our body for a several biological reasons, but each area may have its own specific characteristics. So, for anyone asking themselves what is the purpose of pubic hair, here are some of the most common reasons suggested.

Protection from bacteria and other pathogens

In the same way that eyelashes can keep dust away from your vision, pubic hair can trap unwanted bacteria which can be harmful to your body.

Maintaining temperature

As the body is self-regulating, another reason suggested for the need for pubic hair is making sure you maintain the desired temperature all year round in different seasons.

For anyone new to the world of intimate grooming you may wonder why do women shave their pubic hair? Here are some of the most common reasons suggested:

Personal preference

One of the first things to consider is how you would like to groom, ultimately whether you remove pubic hair or not, is entirely down to your personal preference. Once you understand how to remove hair safely, you can find your ideal routine.

Hygiene

According to professionals, there are no medical or hygienic needs to remove body hair but you may wish to remove hair as part of your grooming to keep your look neat and tidy.

Gentle on Skin

The Venus Pubic Hair & Skin Gentle Trimmer is described as gentle for a reason. This is because you can trim pubic hair with it gently, making it ideal for sensitive body parts or wherever you might have sensitive skin.

Portable

The compact design of the pubic hair trimmer means you can carry it with you anywhere. Stow it discreetly in your handbag or put it in your carry-on luggage without it taking up too much room. Knowing how to trim pubic hair with it is one thing but being able to take it with you for a quick trim whenever you need it is quite another.

Easy to Rinse

The waterproof design of the pubic hair trimmer means you can easily clean it. Simply rinse it in clean water and allow it to dry. What could be simpler?

Can Be Used in the Shower

Another good tip for how to trim pubic hair effectively is to do it when bathing. Just as when you shave in the shower or bath, trimming under running water is perfectly possible with this waterproof trimmer.

When you trim pubic hair in the shower, any trimmed hairs are instantly washed away, making it easy for you to see exactly how much progress you are making and where still needs to be trimmed.

Learn how to trim pubic hair properly with our step-by-step guide.

1. Prep Your Skin

If you want to know how to trim pubic hair well, then start by exfoliating. This will remove dead skin, allowing for closer, smoother contact with your pubic hair trimmer.

Next, apply some Venus Pubic Hair & Skin Smoothing Cleanser & Shave Gel which will provide an extra layer of glide, especially handy if you intend on shaving your pubes after trimming them.

2. Use the Correct Trimmer

It is important to choose the right pubic hair trimmer and not use any hair trimmer that isn't specially designed for more intimate body parts. The Venus Pubic Hair & Skin Gentle Trimmer has been purpose-built for the job and can be used with or without its supplied comb to get exactly the look you are after even in tricky-to-reach parts of the body.

3. Go With the Grain

For optimal results, run your pubic hair trimmer in the direction of your hair's natural growth. When you know how to trim pubic hair this way, it makes for a more comfortable experience and, perhaps even more importantly, more precise results. After all, you won't want your trimmed pubic hair to look uneven!

4. Treat Your Skin Afterwards

Apply some Daily Ingrown Serum to help rehydrate the skin around your bikini line, thereby lessening the likelihood that you will feel itchy afterwards. This is good advice after a trim but especially crucial if you have gone on to shave all or part of your pubic hair after trimming.

5. Clean Your Trimmer

No one wants to trim with an unkempt pubic hair trimmer, right? Make sure your Gillette Venus Gentle Trimmer is ready to use next time by rinsing it. Then, aerate it to dry before putting it away so it'll be in mint condition for your next trim!

Since the area around the pubic region is particularly sensitive skin, and the hair is thick and coarse, you have to be extra careful when removing pubic hair to prevent skin irritation.
