12 Best Bikini Trimmers for Smooth Skin

If you like the idea of having both a razor and a trimmer at your disposal, this dual option is perfect for you. In a recent GH Beauty Lab test of 442 hair removal products, this razor came out on top for being easy to use, removing hair in one easy stroke and not causing any nicks, though some noted the power button wasn't optimal. "I loved having the trimmer attached to the regular razor," one tester remarked. "It made it convenient and easy to use, saving me time by not having to switch from one razor to another. It worked very well, and provided a close shave."

This dual blade trimmer has a wide tooth blade for thicker, coarser hair, and a precision blade for shorter, finer hair. Though some reviewers have found it to be loud, for just around $10, this pick is versatile and doesn't irritate the skin. "You can use this for a trim or a true smooth shave, depending on if you use the guards or not," says one reviewer. "This trimmer is easy to use, and more importantly, easy to use safely."

This trimmer is cordless and compact, making travel a breeze. "I always had a hard time finding a trimmer that works, as some of them are irritating and pull the hair, but this one [is] perfect," says one reviewer. "This trimmer trims the hair smoothly without pulling the hair."

Reach for this bikini trimmer if you want to touch up your hair growth; it gives a clean, uniform shave, though it's not an incredibly close shave. This lighted option is easy to use and gets into the smallest nooks and crannies. "I love that this trimmer has a light, making it so much easier to see where I'm going," our Beauty Assistant shares. "It has just one switch to turn it on/off, so it's pretty much foolproof."

With an angled trimmer head, this device helps you get the closest shave possible. The trimmer head also comes in five adjustable positions, so you can adjust based on how close you want your hair shaved. One reviewer says it all: "Not to be too graphic, this thing can clear a rainforest."

This Remington bikini trimmer comes with an exfoliating attachment to help prevent ingrown hairs from the start. Reviewers say that it dramatically improved the amount of ingrown hairs they experienced. "It trims very close to the skin so the hair is really short and takes longer to grow back," one reviewer says. "The exfoliator is also fantastic, it definitely keeps those ingrown hairs far away from me."

To truly customize your shave, this trimmer comes with tons of different attachments — it has a micro shaver, a precision epilator, a precision comb and a micro trimmer. The blades are made using hypoallergenic foil to reduce irritation. "I looked for a long time trying to find a bikini trimmer that didn't bite back," one reviewer says. "This is it! I couldn't be happier. Very close trim but no grabbing or cutting in sensitive areas."

Briori's trimmer is easy to control and fits perfectly in your hand. It also comes with an LED light for an easy shave. This razor is also virtually knick-free, with many reviewers saying that unlike other trimmers they've used, this one never causes any cuts. "The rechargeable battery lasts FOREVER," one reviewer raves. "The light is a nice element if you have a dim shower and need to see close up."

It's all about precision with this compact trimmer. Its sleek design makes it foolproof, even for those who have never used a trimmer before. "It gave me a very smooth cut, it's very easy to use and lightweight," says one reviewer. "It doesn't pinch when cutting. It even comes with a handy travel bag."

A great beginner bikini trimmer, this small and sleek product is non-intimidating and easy to use. Wizemann likes that "it can be used in a shower or bath. It trims hair without pulling or tugging at 90 degrees and shapes the hairline when flat," she says.

Unlike many razors, this bikini trimmer is meant to be used for removing hair on dry skin. "This product is fabulous," raves one reviewer. "I received it today. I opened it, had my legs shaven and smooth in about three minutes. I love this little thing!"

Epilators are a bit different than your typical trimmers. Aside from being significantly more expensive than trimmers, epilators remove hair at the root (like waxing or tweezing), while trimmers remove hair at the surface level (like shaving). You can pull your skin taut to minimize the ouch factor. This device came out on top in the GH Beauty Lab's epilator testing, earning perfect scores for tweezing hair in one pass, pulling hair without breaking it, not hurting skin, being easy to clean and leaving skin hair-free for at least one week. Plus, the unique flexible head makes it easy to get to those hard-to-reach spots, too. "I am totally a convert to the epilator and I'm ditching my razor," a reviewer raves.
