I didn't know where else to ask rule
  • You have a few options but there is no perfect solution, all have trade-offs.

    • Trimmer with skin safe guard. That's your trimmer but with a bit of plastic to stop nicking the skin. Doesn't trim that close, takes a long time and generally not the best result, but better than nothing and pretty safe. That's basically what manscaped sell, but don't buy it, it's overpriced.

    • A Good Razor. Basically just use a good cartridge razor of whatever brand you like (but not the disposable single use ones, they are hell, I usually use Gillette Fusion) some even have special intimate razor lines that are allegedly better but I didn't see much difference. This is probably best for the clean shave, does take some agility and practice to do safely but is quick and easy when you get used to it. Bigger con of this approach is it will get a bit tender and prickly after a few days, but that also depends on your hair type. Usually this is my go to.

    • Hair Removal Cream. Good for reaching spots that are otherwise hard to shave and lasts a bit longer than a razor but also has a few negatives. First of all, it STINKS, might no be an issue but worth noting. Additionally, it might not be suitable for you as it literally dissolves hair, so is pretty rough on the skin and can even cause a chemical burn if left for too long. There are intimate area variations but obviously they are less effective. Also depending how hairy your legs are, it can be tricky to not get any on there and be left with clumps of half dissolved hair on your hamstrings. I used Nads before and had good results.

    • Laser hair removal. Best in class, but is expensive, requires multiple visits and top ups (but the hair stays off longer and grows back thinner after each time). Haven't tried myself but know a few folks who swear by it. I think you can get a home kit but I wouldn't advise it as it's fairly dangerous and you don't want a laser burn down there, still with professional services.

    • Wax. Better results than the first two options but the pain is unreal, not worth it IMO.
