If you’re looking to clean up stray pubic hairs poking out from your bikini line, there are plenty of different hair removal options at your disposal — waxing, sugaring, epilating and even lasering. But if you’re short on time, money or pain tolerance, good ol’ fashioned shaving or trimming is definitely the most accessible (and least intimidating!) method for hair removal, whether you’re planning to go for a full Brazilian or just clean up the edges.
But getting the best bikini line shave really comes down to using the right tool. Unlike a razor, a bikini trimmer features floating blades that trim your surface pubic hair without touching your skin, so it’s ideal for sensitive areas and a great choice for those who are looking for a painless experience. It also offers far more precision than a standard razor.

In a recent GH Beauty Lab test of 442 hair removal products, this razor came out on top for being easy to use, removing hair in one easy stroke and not causing any nicks. “I loved having the trimmer attached to the regular razor,” one tester remarked. “It made it convenient and easy to use, saving me time by not having to switch from one razor to another. It worked very well, and provided a close shave.”

This dual blade trimmer has a wide tooth blade for thicker, coarser hair, and a precision blade for shorter, finer hair. For under $10, this pick is versatile and doesn’t irritate the skin. “You can use this for a trim or a true smooth shave, depending on if you use the guards or not,” says one reviewer. “This trimmer is easy to use, and more importantly, easy to use safely.”
