It’s important to keep on top of your under-the-belt grooming. Whether it’s a big chop or just a tiny trim, every guy has to have a system to deal with his hair down south. Shaving your pubes can be tricky task, and there’s plenty of potential for things to go wrong.
Keeping yourself from having any embarrassing mishaps using these five simple tips to shaving your public area.
Use Proper Products Before And After
Preparation and aftercare is just as important as the actual shaving, and for that, you need premium products.

If you don’t properly moisturize before and after shaving your public area, you run the risk of developing unsightly bumps and irritation. Don’t skimp on the cheap products either — when the family jewels are involved, only the gold-star stuff will do.

Use The Appropriate Tool

Most likely, you’ll have to switch back and forth between all of them—some area you’ll be able to do a general sweep, while other parts of your nether-regions will require a little more TLC.
