Instructions for Intimate Hair Removal for Men

Trimmers, like the Gillette INTIMATE Trimmer , come with combs in different sizes, in this case 2 mm, 4 mm, and 6 mm. If your pubic hair is very long, you should start with the 6 mm comb and then move on to the others.

Trim your hair until you feel comfortable. This will reduce the length and make it less messy. Reducing the length will also help your razor, as shorter hair is less likely to snag the blades.

Water acts as a moisturizer for the skin. It also softens the normally tough pubic hairs. This makes pubic hair removal easier and helps you finish in a few passes. Don't worry about the water: You can even use your Gillette INTIMATE trimmer for intimate shaving in the shower.

You don't want to run your razor over such a sensitive area without first protecting it. Instead, apply a generous layer of shaving gel or cream. The gel or cream acts as a shock absorber, preventing friction with the blades.

It also lubricates the area so the razor glides more smoothly and removes a man's pubic hair more effectively. Try a gentle, skin-friendly formula, like Gillette Intimate 2-in-1 Shaving and Shower Cream.

Shaving your intimate area requires a razor or one that's been used only a few times. If the blades aren't sharp enough, they can cause irritation, skin inflammation, or ingrown hairs . They also don't cut the hair thoroughly, which means you're losing out on soft skin and a clean finish.

There's no need to rush, and even less so when passing a razor down there. Grip the handle firmly and let it glide gently over your skin, always using short strokes and in the direction of hair growth. This technique helps avoid cuts and ingrown hairs.

After several passes, rinse your razor blades under the tap or in a bowl of clean water to remove any product residue, clipped hairs, and dirt. Avoid hitting the razor against a surface, as this could damage the razor head or blades.

Stretch the skin in the groin to tighten it and create a smooth surface, and operate the razor with your other hand.

If you need to shave in multiple directions to achieve soft, smooth skin free of pubic hair, apply another layer of shaving gel or cream to avoid irritation, pimples, and rashes.

After hair removal, remove any gel residue with plenty of water. Water also helps soothe the area to avoid burning and itching. Gently dry the skin and finish with a good moisturizer.

It's important not to skip moisturizing. Remember that pubic hair removal is taking place in a delicate area that is prone to irritation. Plus, your skin has just lost its natural lubrication, and you need to restore it to avoid irritation.

Once your skin is moisturized, all you need to do is clean your razor. Rinse the blades and razor head with water and let them air dry. Failure to keep your razor clean and dry could damage the blades.

You'll also create the perfect environment for the growth of fungi and bacteria, which precede ingrown hairs.

It depends on how long it takes for your pubic hair to grow. You can shave your pubic area once a month or every one to two weeks. The most important thing is to give your skin a break.

Ingrown hairs are a result of hair removal, whether with a razor, wax, or tweezers. To avoid them, you need to exfoliate your skin and use a proper hair removal technique.

It is not recommended to use soaps or shower gels on the intimate area and genitals, even if they are gentle or unscented. It is best to wash with water to avoid irritation, itching, and dryness.
