I have had a look at loads of different post but cant seem to find anyone suggestin a product, so any info and suggestions would be of great help :)
many thanks
Wee Andy ;)
Hello and welcome!
Firstly - shaving has been covered tons of times on here and a good tip is that if ingrown hairs are the issue then exfoliating before and after shaving and shaving regularly should do the trick - worked wonders for me! If cutting is an issue then the Wilkinson Sword razors with a metal grill over the blades are fab as they make it near on impossible to cut yourself.
If you're dead set on not shaving then trimming is a good option! Lots of electric shavers come with trimmers but for a cheaper version I use this http://buy.wilkinson-sword.co.uk/detail-WSWOME001A.html which takes a single AAA battery - the men's version is here http://buy.wilkinson-sword.co.uk/detail_WSMENR001I.html and if you take the plastic cover off it, you can get quite a close trim.
My partner recommended to me trimming dry to prevent clogging up the trimmer.
Someone else will have handy hints I'm sure - I've only just started trimming recently since I was told to avoid any chemicals on my oh-so-sensitive skin by my doc so I'm not very experienced!

Oh and you can get that trimmer I mentioned from any supermarket as far as I'm aware - I go mine from ASDA :)

I would buy a specific bikini trimmer (like the femme fatale range). They are adjustable so you have as close a trim as you like. They are mains rechargeable so you don't need to worry about batteries. I have tried two wilkinson sword razors with trimmers and both have broken x

Kind of suggested the Wilkinson Sword so Andy could see if trimming was for him without splashing out on a 'leccy one, but definitely a good suggestion External Media

Yeah, it's worth trying first but I just meant if you wanted something more long term. You can pick them up for under £20 x

Really?
I always thought they'd be dearer than that!
My next plan is an epilatory :P

Eek! No way! Wax me everwhere but do not come anywhere near me with an epilator - OW!!!

I'm nervous but I feel no pain *hard face* :P I'm good with sharp pain, not so good with deep pain! We'll see how it goes hehe!

yeah it worked a treat, great suggestion :) definately would hav a look at somethin for longer term if i found this broke quite soon as u suggested Wizzie86 and if i could pick one up thats going to last it would b a good investment. saves buying new Wilkinson Sword's all the time x
do you think that it would be a good idea to get a bikini trimmer even tho im a guy ?
suppose they are designed to b down there . . . .

You can get male trimmers - designed for fancy hair designs and beard designs....not sure where exactly - a search on boots might give you somewhere to start?

A beard trimmer probably won't be a good idea since the blades work differently to a lady shaver - there is no grill to protect the users testies from the beard trimmer. If you can get something that is designed for the task (bikini line trimmer), its worth it to lower the risk.
Oof!

now that does sounds pretty painfully External Media thinking al have a good look around n c wat a can find, thinking a bikini trimmer mite b a gd idea nxt ?? just sounds a bit safer xx
They do do male ones on Amazon that are for all body areas including the groin area, you can get them where they come with guidence combs etc so you can have just a little hair or completly no hair.
They are the philips range, we used these within out beauty class for trimming the hair for people who had never been waxed before.
I didnt want to put a link as i didnt know if we are allowed to put the link on here
I used to trim, with a pair of scissors and a comb - but i'm quite good at cutting hair :)
I swear my hair removal cream - slap it on everywhere, and 5 minutes later youre hair free, has to be done every week though - but it isn't a difficult job. Shaving is always a bit awkward for me because I have a mole next to my bikini line.
Cept don't use hair removal cream on your underarm - I burnt mine - although my cooch is always fine with it!
For men, I'd recommend the Philips Bodygroom / Total Body Grooming system - I've been using different versions of it for the past 3/4 years.
Lovehoney sell the version I have at http://www.lovehoney.co.uk/product.cfm?p=15063 but it seems to be out of stock - you'll be able to pick it up elsewhere - I think this is what Simba is talking about above :)
Anyway, they're great, easy quick and safe - you have attachable heads so can shave or trim to different levels of closeness.
