7 Essential Tips on Trimming your Pubic Hair for Men

What you will need

 

Learning how to shave your pubes and groin area calls for some caution, but it’s simple enough. Start by following this guide and your on the way to becoming an excellent manscaper.

1. Begin with some basic shaving prep. Before shaving down there, shower, dry off, cool down and have a quick comb through the hair to remove any knots.

2. Make the work easy for your trimmer (and yourself). Pull skin taut, and trim first with the direction of hair growth, then against. A well-placed mirror will help.


3. Take care. Trimming the groin is serious business. Take your time. Use short, light strokes, and avoid very sensitive areas. Don’t go over the same place too often.

4. Use a male grooming tool designed for shaving the pubic area  

 

If you’re on the look out for a suitable tool for manscaping, get a body groomer with a pivoting head if possible: this will help with hard-to-reach areas. Adjustable length settings make it infinitely easier to achieve a fade down from your snail trail, essential if you’re aiming for a natural look

5. Start on a longer length setting. Then bring the length down as needed, with shorter settings on the border between hair and closely-shaven skin. Stop and check your progress as you go.

6. Cool off. Aftercare can be the difference between successful trimming and … unsuccessful trimming. Rinse off with cool water, pat dry with a soft towel and finally apply a light, unscented lotion.

7. Keep it up. Once you know how to shave your pubes, don’t neglect it. Repeat your groin grooming routine every 7-12 days, or as often as needed, to keep everything tidy.
