How To Shave Down There: 6 Steps To Manscaping Fast And Safe

No matter how much hair you have on your body, let’s be completely honest, manscaping down there is probably something you’ve done already, or at least spent some time thinking about. After all, you pay regular visits to your barber to keep your hair looking prim and proper, right? So why wouldn’t you do the same to the hair on your more… private parts. Of course, you wouldn’t actually visit your barber and ask them to give you a trim down there, as that’s something you need to work on yourself, buddy.

And it seems like that’s becoming more commonplace these days, as a recent survey by Men’s Health reveals that around 62% of men either trim or shave below the belt. The thing is, it can be a bit tricky if it’s something you haven’t done before, and can oftentimes lead to nicks, cuts, and even chaffing on your own, well… meat and two veg.

But there’s absolutely no need to be scared of this phenomenon, as manscaping down there is more than just trimming off the bush, but also making sure that you’re clean and of course, don’t smell. It also well, helps the tree look taller, if you know what we mean.

So if you’re still unfamiliar with the ways of the modern man in mowing the lawn down there but still want to, read on for our best tips and tricks in learning how to do this the right way.

Here’s your guide!

1. Shower

Seriously, just shower, like actually shower. It’s something you have to do every day anyway. Not only will this keep your whole body clean, but keeps you fresher for longer. Not to mention that it’ll also reduce the chances of body odor, especially in parts of your body where the sun don’t shine.

However, don’t just take any shower. Take a cold shower. Why, you may ask? Well, because cold water can make your cojones retract and make your skin less taut, preparing it for the next step, which is of course…

2. Shaving Ryan

Get it? Like the movie Saving Private Ryan? Except this time it’s shaving? Because as you may have guessed it, gents, it’s time to shave.

I t goes without saying that shaving slow is important when you go down. Start by shaving above the penis, which is actually quite easy. While it’s all up to preference, ideally you want to trim to about a quarter of an inch. From there, you can then lather up a bit and start shaving downwards to remove the hair. Apply moisturizing cream after.

As for what to shave with, don’t just go with any old disposable razor. And while there are plenty of options, we recommend giving Meridian Grooming’s The Trimmer, which is a waterproof electric razor that’s specially made to handle coarse and curly hair without tugs and pulls. Featuring ceramic blades and adjustable guide combs, The Trimmer is guaranteed to give you a closer shave while still being gentle on your junk.

3. Smooth cojones

The way we see it, is that if you already went through all the trouble of shaving around your penis, then you might as well go the whole nine yards by shaving your cojones as well. Not only will this make you feel better, but we heard it’s popular with the ladies as well.

Luckily, Meridian Grooming’s The Trimmer is also the perfect fit for the job, taking advantage of its adjustable guide combs to help you shave around that area of sensitive skin. To do it, you’re gonna wanna sit down on something soft like a towel and open your legs apart. From there, simply move your penis up towards your belly button and make gentle strokes either up and down. Take it steady as well, to ensure there are no accidents around the scrotum area.

4. Shave other parts of your body to a more similar length

If you decided to shave all of your pubic hair right off, then it’s only proper that you shave the other parts of your body as well, like your stomach and chest. This should help make things look more balanced and less ridiculous, especially if you decided to go bald down there while having a generous amount of chest hair.

Additionally, try to keep your stomach, chest, and pubic hair the same length, as this will help you look much better and more presentable, especially for more intimate moments.

5. Say no to chaffing

Chaffing, or “intimate chaffing” as we’re dealing with your private parts, usually occurs when your skin rubs against itself. Usually happening in the groin area, this can cause rashes, which can either be uncomfortable or downright painful.

Luckily, there are many quick fixes to this, and you can easily get an over-the-counter lubricant or healing cream to help you fix and soothe the irritated area.

6. Keep it fresh

If you do decide to go hairless down there, remember that doing so will make you sweat more, which increases the chances of getting stinky. Caused by our apocrine sweat glands, the musty scent is a blend of chemicals, fats, steroids, and even proteins, and is usually triggered whenever we’re feeling a little excited down there.

Normally, this scent is mopped up by your pubic hair. If you shave, it can cause a bit of aroma in your jeans. Thankfully, there are now products that are aimed at keeping your undercarriage smelling its best, such as Meridian Grooming's The Spray.

Made with Moringa, witch hazel, green tea, and gingko, this pH balanced spray guarantees all-day freshness for your junk. Simply spray once or twice, get dressed, and well, you’re good to go. It’s that easy.
