If you're looking for a trimmer/razor - recommendation

[AnnMarie]

Okay, I know this is essentially off topic, but there are probably other girlies here who use/need a trimmer for their girlie parts (can you tell I'm trying to be as delicate as possible here? lol). It's also good for guys who do manscaping, so read on if you're interested. :)

Anyway, I recently picked up the Remington WGP-150 which is a personal trimmer with 5 different heads. It's about 5-6 inches long, so a bit of added reach, and the teeth are very tiny, so there is no machinery to chew up skin.

I just tested it quickly and it's REALLY good. Works well, quick, no catching so far, etc. I just wanted to put it out there, because I know that I'm always keeping my eye open for something that does an effective job but is pain free, and this is working great for me from what I can tell.

Here is a link so you know what it looks like (I used the middle head shown in the image), and ignore the price. I picked mine up for $18 at Target.

If anyone has other similar suggestions, please jump in. :)

I have a Remington, too, a different model. I love it, but yours is extra-swanky and makes me green with envy, AnnMarie.

Thanks AnnMarie...I have been looking for something like that. I am going to check it out the next time I am across the Border at Target! Appreciate the info!

[Jes]

Across the border at Target? Tsk tsk. THe dirty lives of secret shame that you Canadians lead.

I don't even know what that means.

ps: For me? WEED WHACKER. BLACK AND DECKER.

Kidding. When you're in the market for a new one (and I know you will be, they seem to have a limited shelf life at times), consider picking it up. I've "used" it now, and I'm quite happy with how it worked out. :)

You are quite welcome, Karoline... always happy to help the girlies stay well-groomed. :)

Oh my good God. I just had the same reaction men do when they see a toddler whack a guy in the 'nads on those stupid home video shows.

Ouch.

Ahhhhhh! No scissors in the nether regions.

I've done it. Who hasn't? Let's admit it--those of us who are lazy have done it.

Mostly, when I use my doodad (i have an 'as seen on TV' pencil-sized thingie), I do a bad job. And it's like trying to cut 2 equal slices of cake and you whittle and you whittle until...there's no cake left.

So as a blond, if I get that cheesy: Hey baby, does the carpet match the drapes? question, I just smile and say: Carpet? I got hardwood floors, honey.

LOL... yeah, I used to go for even. Sort of like leveling out table legs and ending up with a footstool. Now it's fuzzy buzzcut, and it's all the same, no worries about evening out, or looking like a mangled cat. (Uhm, you know what I mean.)

:doh:

[Jes]

*snicker* mangled cat...

Once, I had a particularly disastrous self-grooming experience right before a trip to the doctor. STOP READING HERE if this is TMI. Anyway, I'm on the exam table, and she's like: oooh. What...what happened here?

hahaha. Awkward.

I would be totally happy to turn over this aspect of grooming to someone I trusted, I think. But not an Eastern European woman who barks: MAKE LIKE FROG!

[AnnMarie]

hahahahahah.... that's funny. :)

I would LOVE to turn it over to a trusted man, but since there isn't one, it's up to me.

I do have BBW friends who are happy to help with "BBW barbering" as we call it. :) It's super to be able to just be done with it, no struggling, no double and triple checking for missed spots. Unfortunately if you're not around them much, sometimes you just have to get things done on your own.

I am SOOO glad I found this trimmer... seriously, it was about 5-8 mins total, easy-shmeasy, and no damage.

[Fuzzy]

I was initially thinking, what's the big deal about another beard trimmer.. until I saw the link... Ah. Bikini trimmer. Gotcha.

Always happy to entertain and, hopefully, educate. LOL ;)

im always happy to chase with scissors!

[Boteroesque Babe]

Chippy, when you hear AnnMarie a'buzzin', you better not get too close, my furry friend. 'Less you're ready for your summer shearing.

Remember: Fat girls got blind spots...

"Nice beaver!"

"Thanks! I just had it stuffed."

Gah! And y'know what the worst part is? I just got my Remington two months ago, and it was $55! :(

I may have to arrange an unfortunate accident for it.

No, Carrie! No! You might need that thing again some day!!

But-but-but -- AnnMarie's is newer, and shinier, and prettier. I want. :(

AnnMarie's is newer, shinier, and prettier than your own? How do you know that?

(See post edit.)

Ohhhh. See, that's what I originally thought, but then affirmed that gramatically, my "it" in "arrange an accident for it" had to have been referring to my Remington, not to my kitty, and you're all smart and stuff, so I figured my first instinct was easily attributable to my pervaciousness.

Poon! You crazy city slickers and your new-fangled anatomical slang terms. :p


Edited because I misspelled "pervaciousness", which, ironically, is not even a real word. Welcome to my world.

NOT a new term, missy! get out your Hootie and the Blowfish handy snatchy slangy dictionary! i should've gotten you one for xmas.

anyhoo(tie), I also got confused by BB's antecedent, there.

(and no, antecedent doesn't mean hooha)

I know; it's actually a pretty old term, I think. As in "poontang". It's so....Huggy Bear. :D

LOL, I lost this thread somehow, but yeah... you're right. A lot of stuff is done by feel... one fuzzy is just as good as another fuzzy... watch out Chipper.
