A man’s guide to manscaping
Trim and tidy up without cutting off anything essential in the process
Invest
Firstly, get yourself a decent pair of clippers. You won’t have to break the bank to get your hands on a quality pair. But do make sure you go for a wet-and-dry technology razor that will make caring for your jewels down below a bit easier.
Stretch it out
When dealing with your more sensitive areas, make sure you stretch that skin tight. Skin down there is a lot thinner and looser, making it easier for a razor to catch it. Take this as a warning because we’ve heard far too many horror stories, and frankly, nobody needs to see the consequences of your mis-snips in the bedroom.
Don’t go crazy…
Trim your man-hair a bit, but there’s no need to go for smooth, unless you’re a porn star. Around half a centimetre of hair will make it easy to maintain and will feel much more comfortable than itchy stubble.
Don’t back out
Sack and crack: it’s a cliché for a reason. For these areas, we’d opt for a professional wax but, if you haven’t got the balls, do it yourself at home. Just make sure you’ve got a mirror, room to bend over and, for the love of God, check everyone’s out.
Other options
Don’t fancy putting a bit of machinery down below? There are plenty of creams, gels and treatments out there. “We’ve found laser hair removal is the most popular for men aged 25 to 40,” says Mark Norfolk, the clinical director at Transform Cosmetic Surgery.
