How to choose a good bikini trimmer

The electric trimmer for the bikini area is a new word in the field of depilation. Compact devices are designed to remove hair in sensitive areas of the body. Despite the novelty of the technology, trimmers quickly gained popularity, because at their democratic cost they are in many ways superior to traditional methods of depilation and epilation.

Advantages of the trimmer

The main advantages of the trimmer for delicate areas are:

• no irritation on the skin;
• the ability to cut hairs to a minimum size of 0.3 mm, which is difficult to achieve with other accessories for depilation;
• the convenience of use;
• ample opportunities - with a trimmer you can trim the hair in the bikini area, in the armpit, make up the eyebrow line, remove unwanted hairs on the face and even make your own intimate haircuts.

The functionality depends on the specific model and its configuration. Before choosing a suitable model, you should familiarize yourself with various modifications.

Some devices are suitable not only for women, but also for men - dotted nozzles can give the shape of a beard and mustache.

The device consumes quite a bit of energy, which is why almost all models operate on a built-in battery or conventional finger batteries. Thus, the trimmer can be used in any conditions, and the dependence on the length of the power cable is completely eliminated.

Principle of operation

The portable device is very similar to the usual hair clipper, the principle of operation in its general features is similar. However, a special trimmer for the intimate area is more compact and designed for fine work.

The device does not remove hair from the root, a special design in combination with various nozzles neatly cuts hairs almost under the root, leaving a minimum length - up to 0.3 mm.This method of body care and hygiene maintenance of sensitive areas is considered the most optimal from the point of view of medical practice specialists.

How to choose a suitable model: an overview of the main factors

A good choice of any device is to determine the most suitable model according to your preferences. Even before buying it is worth analyzing your needs and determining the type of construction and functionality.

Moisture resistance level

Almost all models have a “water reset” sign on the package, but sometimes this is more of a marketing ploy.. Firstly, the degree of moisture resistance may be different, secondly, not every model for wet shaving copes well with its task, and, thirdly, this parameter will not be important for all users.

It is customary to distinguish three degrees of moisture protection.

1. Devices for "dry" haircut are generally not protected from moisture.
2. Partial moisture resistance - applies only to the shaving head, which can be washed under running water.
3. Moisture-proof models - they can be used under the shower or wash under water.

What degree of protection against water will be a priority - it is up to the user to decide. However, the higher the level of protection, the higher the final cost of the device.

Shaving head width

Processing width is a significant parameter. Today, manufacturers offer two types of trimmers:

• with wide head from 25 mm - such models quickly and effectively cut off all the hairs in open areas of the body, but not very maneuvering in hard to reach places;

• with narrow head 20-25 mm, often acquired with the aim to make their own intimate haircuts.

Sometimes wide-head models are narrow styling nozzleSuch modifications are universal and suitable for various purposes. Trimmers for intimate haircuts often contain several stencils in the set.

What you need to know about picking

As already mentioned, a set of nozzles determines the area of ​​use of the device: the wider the equipment, the more profitable the purchase. The functionality of trimmers is rarely reflected in the price, but the search for interchangeable nozzles can be delayed for a long time. Thus, if the arsenal of “beauty devices” has already included such devices as a trimmer for eyebrows, a power saw for a pedicure, then similar attachments will naturally stand idle. When you need to purchase the most versatile device - the choice is obvious.

Types of nozzles for trimmer intimate areas:

• standard comb attachment it is intended for a hairstyle or a trimming of hair in the set range, usually from 0,3 mm to 12 mm;
• razor head - full-fledged analogue of the razor, included in the set of models with protection against water;
• tip for body hair removal - it is convenient for shaping eyebrows, intimate haircuts, styling of mustaches and beards for men; in other words, for precise decorative works;
• epilator - the prerogative of expensive models, the nozzle works on the principle of a regular epilator and removes hairs from the root;
• pumice - designed to remove hardened skin on the foot.

Power type

Special trimmers for women - low-power devices with small motors, the vast majority of which are autonomous and are powered by a battery or AAA batteries.

The combined type of food meets very rarely, and mostly not in trimmers, but in women's electric razors.

Important factors are:

• battery capacity;
• battery type - built-in or removable;
• charging time;
• battery life.

Over time, any battery loses its capacity, gradually fails and "does not hold" the charge.In this case, the device itself retains its performance. Built-in batteries last longer, but you can replace them only through a service center, and the cost of the battery will be equal to half the cost of the device itself. In addition, the charging time for such batteries comes to 8 hours, while the battery life may not exceed 30 minutes.

Powered by AAA batteries will require regular replacement, but in this case, the user does not depend on the charging time and capacity, if you wish, you can take a set of batteries and use the device as the situation requires. If we analyze user reviews, this factor can be called one of the key when buying.

The advantage of replaceable batteries is availability, batteries can be bought at any specialty store.

Trimmers for delicate zones are still a rather “young” invention, presented by just a few manufacturers. From the brand, to a greater extent, depends on the cost of the device, so the choice of brand should be taken seriously.
