I am worried about the teeth mechanism catching loose skin. I am so bored of Immac/Veet and I don't have the skill for a razor.

From personal experience, yes you can use a beard trimmer. Just be sure not to drop your slinky on the tooth mechanism and keep any other loose skin away from it as well. I dropped mine on the teeth, it bled and stung for a week, made sex a little difficult as well. My suggestion is to get a set of clippers and use the guards, then if you wanna go completely bald, go back with a razor.

yes you can. my hubby does it all the time to keep it neat and clean down there. it is safe on your facial skin and it is also safe there. Only to worry about it is pulling the hair. Just go slow and easy and trim with small nose or beard scissors first, then use the electric trimmer also making sure you use a bit of shaving cream to help prevent irratation. Afterwards, use some cornstartch baby powder to help keep it from getting irratated.
good luck

The possibility of being caught by the teeth is there, but if you hold your skin taught it is less likely to happen. I think everyone I know uses a beard trimmer down there. So Good luck!

I'd recommend against it. If you have the money, go for a Phillips Bodygroom. It works like an electric shaver, but has a protected shaving head, so there's less chance of any accidents. You can get them for about £35 or so. I use one and it works quite well.

No, it works great. I have a Conair beard trimmer. I do the balls, everything. Not a nick yet.

Completely - why not shave, a normal safety razor should be fine.

I've done it a couple of times, and have also nicked myself a couple of times!
Why I tried it again, I have no idea.
Not the best way of doing it.

If you don't use a guard then yes you will cut yourself (trust me I know) but with a guard if you are carefull, you shouldn't have any problems

yes, just go SLOW & easy - STRETCH THE SKIN A BIT & WATCH HOW YOU PROCEED. I do it weekly & never a nick.
