The 5 Best Bikini Trimmers of 2025
There is a case to be made for having a bikini trimmer (aka pubic hair trimmer, bikini razor, bikini shaver—you get the gist) in your beauty arsenal. We’re talking a step above your run-of-the-mill razor. You’re working with a very sensitive area with generally thicker hair compared to the rest of your body—having the best bikini trimmer for your needs could be what makes or breaks you experiencing razor bumps and burns, along with other uncomfortable irritation.
We conducted hours of research on the best products for grooming your bikini line to find the best trimmers and razors. We evaluated products on type, ease of use, and any potential irritation associated with the hair grooming process. After consulting with editors for tips on the products that work best on them and considering dozens of products, we landed on the following best in show.

Features: 600 RPM motor, trimmer guard, USB cord, rechargeable battery, travel bag, cleaning brush, lubricant | Cordless: Yes
Winning gold for the best bikini trimmer (in our eyes) is Bushbalm’s The Francesca Timmer. This bikini shaver truly does it all, from trimming to grooming to removing hair completely. And it’s equipped with the best features from a pre-wax and shave guard to a travel bag, cleaning brush, and maintenance lubricant.
Of course, this waterproof bikini razor walks the walk, too, with five hours of battery life and a strong 600 RPM motor. You may love this bikini shaver so much that you try it out on your legs, underarms, and neck—to which we say, “give it a go.” You won’t be disappointed.

Features: Hypoallergenic moisturizing serum, 5 curve-sense blades, skin guards, adjustable comb | Cordless: Yes
A pubic hair trimmer with variety, the Schick Hydro Silk TrimStyle Razor is a two-in-one hydrating razor and waterproof bikini trimmer. We love this pick for those who prefer a highly curated shaving experience. Use this bikini razor in or out of the shower—and make sure to tap into the adjustable comb, as the four settings allow you to decide the best trim length.
And if you have sensitive skin, this could be a great option, as it’s dermatologist-tested and features a hypoallergenic moisturizing serum that helps nourish and replenish moisture. Plus, the five curve-sensing blades guard the skin as you shave to further protect from irritation.

Features: Ceramic blades | Cordless: Yes
What makes this bikini trimmer special is its ceramic blades—the brand’s claim to fame for kicking razor bumps and burn to the side, thanks to an “unbelievably close shave.” Equally great: This trimmer runs for 90 minutes before it needs a recharge, and it’s safe for shaving all over. The company is pretty confident this is the device to use to avoid nicks, tugs, and cuts. And we also have to point out how chic this looks—plus the design fits really nicely in the hand.

What We Like
Angled head is great for curves and crevices
Fits nicely in the hand
Designed to prevent nicks, cuts, bumps, ingrown hairs, and irritation
Features: Micro-oscillating 18-karat gold-plated head trimming attachment, 1 AAA battery, LED light | Cordless: Yes
A bikini trimmer should be designed to access complicated areas. Exhibit A: Flawless by Finishing Touch’s Bikini Shaver and Trimmer. The angled trimmer head (which is micro-oscillating) accesses hard-to-reach areas so you can better avoid nicks, cuts, irritation, and razor bumps. We also love the built-in LED light for peak visibility.

Store everything in the handy storage pouch and take it on the go for last-minute travel touch-ups. Plus, in addition to your bikini line, it’s also designed for use on underarms, legs, and even eyebrows.
What to Look for in a Bikini Trimmer
- Multifunctionality: If you’re choosing a shaving tool, one that has multiple settings, works wet or dry, or has different attachments can help you get more out of it. If you can use it in different situations (such as in the shower or out) or can groom multiple areas of your body with it, it will be a better investment. Some of the best epilators, for instance, are versatile enough to be used to remove hair from head to toe. And for styling or grooming products, look for something that goes above and beyond the basics.
- Ingrown hair prevention: The tools and products you use will be the number one way to prevent ingrown hairs. For people with curly hair, this is most important. When your hair starts to grow, sometimes it curls inward and gets trapped back under the surface of your skin. This can happen because dead skin cells clog up your hair follicle (so always exfoliate), but ingrown hairs also exist just because of your hair’s natural growth pattern.
- Suitable for sensitive skin: The bikini area is especially prone to razor bumps and razor burn, so it’s important to use a product that’s designed for sensitive skin. Using a shaving cream made with soothing ingredients or a trimmer that’s made to be gentle on sensitive skin are two ways to help prevent pubic shaving rashes.
