Am I weird or if anything would it be better to buy a men's hair trimmer to trim my lady garden Grin men's Gillette razors do a better job and we all know we nab our husbands/partners for our underarms! Wink

I use DH wahl hair trimmer on my undercarriage. No.1 or no guard for a closer shave ;)

He doesn't seem to care.

Yes, hair clippers.

That beard trimmer sounds fab.

p.s.Cordless is a good idea, as I like to deal with mine in the bathroom. There is no power socket in our bathroom.

I used DH's beard trimmer. Works very well for tidying up rather than removing IYSWIM. Unfortunately he has now got a new fierce one and I am a bit scared of it.

Haha lambzig, I'm wondering how long it'll be until DH tries it out on his facial hair especially as he has gotten lazy shaving! Well I've ordered it and it should be here tomorrow! Lets hope I'm not frightened of the vacuum it has:-/

Do you want to shape it into sideburns? Or one of those funny little chin sprouts?

Just a good all over trim although I saw a women's one and it gave you shape templates so you could have an arrow, heart, landing strip etc lol.

Purrpurr have ordered this from amazon
www.argos.co.uk/m/static/Product/partNumber/4434218.htm ladies ones are naff Grin

That's just given me a good idea, I could use the dog clippers.

'Unique vacuum system collects stubble, so no mess guaranteed. A window allows you to see when to empty.'

For some reason I really, really don't care about body hair, except, you know, pubes. Do I really want to peer through a little window at my collection of pubes like it's on display in the Amsterdam Sex Museum? :D hmm no vom smiley in the list, damn you MNHQ...

Also, 'Turbo boost for extra power' - this made me LOL. I can just imagine revving it like a chainsaw or a petrol lawn mower before aiming it southwards towards my bits with a maniacal laugh... Wahahahaa take that pubes, go join your friends in my very own pube exhibition!

Hahahahahaha I just laughed so hard. Yeh I must admit the whole window thing.....I don't want to see my pubes again, I want to be rid of them! We're no longer in the caveman days and have clothes to keep us warm and soap to keep our bits clean.

I'll try not to laugh when I start the process. It may end like a scene out of Texas chainsaw massacre! Grin

Oh yes, a beard trimmer has a narrower head so much easier to manoeuvre than a hair trimmer. Especially when you are pregnant :)

Cordless is also a perk!

DH now joins me in preferring trimmed pubes. Not shaved too close, just neatly trimmed.

I couldn't bear the idea of trimming pubes with DH's hair trimmer, it just seems wrong Confused

I've renamed it the Turbo Vadge Vac for ease of reference :D hahaha!

Ladies bikini trimmers seem hard to come by, or they're expensive and pink. I ended up getting a Babyliss men's beard trimmer, virtually identical to the bikini one I saw, except it was black and £9.99.

Use DHs beard trimmer. Not sure if I should tell him though. Does concentrate the mind though.

YANBU. DH has one of those Phillips beard trimmers with the vacuum. Is great. Too scared to use an actual razor on my bits as they are a bit frilly IFYKWIM.

I don't think it's possible for a woman to use any tool or piece of qequipment whatever the kind unless it is pink.

I use DH's stubble trimmer. Very effective and easy. He doesn't seem to mind!

In our house it's the opposite. My fella's taken to shaving his face with my bikini shaver Shock...he likes that it leaves just a little bit of stubble.
