Are you trying to go bald?
I just usually use hair removal creams but as already pointed out it is not recommended and if you get it on your sensitive bits it makes it really sore. I'd suggest rolling up some tissue and sticking it between your... erm... flaps.... to protect the area.
I just shaved mine the other day and i have just gone all rashy, much more disgusting than pubic hair i'm sure... and it grew all stubbly after 24 hour, also more disgusting.
So, if its bald and you don't want to risk the cream, i think waxing is the only worth while way to go... unless you have the cash for laser treatment!
If you literally mean trim, then i'd just use a pair of scissors and maybe cut it a little longer in the middle where it tends to itch like mad.

There are several ways to get rid, but they all have downsides - it's just deciding which ones you can live with
Shaving - go in the direction the hair grows to reduce the itching - but it will grow back fast and feel stubbly almost straight away. Make sure you use a sharp razor, or you'll cut yourself.
Cream - Nair do a bikini line version - but it smells absolutely disgusting, and you'll have regrowth before you can get rid of the stench. It's great as long as no-one's gonna get too close!
Waxing - it will hurt, but at least it's quick (if done professionally) and lasts. You can wax yourself if you're embarrased, but it's hard to see what you're doing.
Epliator - In my opinion the pain is worse than waxing - because it does the same thing, just over a longer period of time. In theory it's great, but it takes quite a lot of prolonged agony to stop the hair growing back.
Unless you have a particular need for complete removal, I would suggest an electric trimmer (see argos), some of them have built in length guides like proper hair trimmers, and can get things neat without stubbliness or pain.

Try NAIR, they have a special kind for bikini areas. I think it can be a little stinging and some people can breakout from it.
I would use an epilator. It pulls the hair out by the root making it come in thinner and lighter, after prolonged use some of the follicles are so damaged the hair doesn't grow back. no stubbles or itch with this.
You can use a product by GiGi called "No Bumps" or "Bumps Rx" to get rid of any ingrown hairs or inflammation.

Just shave it regularly and always always apply Vaseline afterwards.
Its a good idea to moisturise these areas as much as possible with Vaseline if you shaveing regularly, as this will moisturise the skin as well as the hair, so when the hair does start to grow, it at least will be soft and not prickly and therfor solves the itching problem...!

As well as shaving you could use a hair removal cream specially designed for the bikini area. always moisturise afterwards too. There are some products that use put on whilst in a shower which remove the hair as you get washed.

most of those hair removal creams are NOT safe for that area! The closest they get is the veet sensitive bikini version, but it is not meant to go near the soft spots, so keep that in mind.
try shaving with a good sharp blade and follow up with a fragrance/color free lotion to calm any irritation. shave with the direction of the hair growth for less irritation as well. If you look around you can find fragrance/color free shave gels as well that will reduce irritation.

I use hair clippers with a short plastic fitting. Follow with cream rinse to soften the hair. Shaving never worked for me. What the pluck?

Use a hair removal cream and moisturiser after.

Shave, but use hair conditioner instead of soap or shave creame. Works great.
