And if you’re thinking about using this razor around more sensitive areas, shall we say, the pop-up trimmer offers close, safe grooming.

Designed specifically for sensitive areas like your bikini, underarms, knees, and ankles, the Finishing Touch Flawless Body lets you skip the nicks, cuts, and irritation that disposable razors are known for. This razor glides over your natural curves, and it’s plated with 18-karat gold, so it’s hypoallergenic and suitable for even the most sensitive skin.

You can use this shaver in both directions and built-in LEDs light the way to prevent you from missing any spots. It’s worth noting that the Finishing Touch Flawless Body is a dry shaver, so while you can’t use it in the shower, you can skip the shaving creams and gels.

Philips BikiniPerfect Advanced women’s trimmer kit is essentially a one-and-done kit for maintaining your bikini line, and it includes three attachments to do just that. A precision trimming head and precision comb provide even hair removal, and the microshaving head removes stubble for a smooth, well-defined bikini line.

This electric shaver can be used in or out of the shower for maximum convenience, and it’s rechargeable with a mighty 60-minute runtime. Anyone headed out for a little sun and sand might be interested to know that it also comes with a zippered travel bag.

It may be worth noting that Philips BikiniPerfect Advanced is highly rated on Amazon. And while plenty of reviewers were happy with the trimmer because it leaves the bikini area smooth and bare, quite a few noted that it’s pretty loud. If discretion is important to you, this might not be your best option.

Facial hair is a part of life, and as sure as the sun comes up every morning, you can bet that pesky fuzz will keep appearing. To keep facial hair in check, you might consider
Conair’s highly-rated Ladies Lithium Ion Precision Trimmer.

In the box, you’ll find a wide blade for full face and body trimming, two eyebrow combs, and a nose and ear attachment. Turn it on, and this little guy expertly removes hair from your face, body, and bikini area. Perhaps most importantly, it eliminates nicks, cuts, scratches, and irritation from the equation. The best part, according to reviewers, is that it does all of the above without the pinching and pulling that some trimmers are known for.

If your shaver or trimmer follows you wherever you go, keep in mind that this one doesn’t come with a cover or any travel-friendly accessories.

Wet/Dry: Dry

Best for: Face, body, and bikini area

Battery life: Varies

Pros

• Reviewers loved its close shave

With its unique open blade system, Remington’s Smooth & Silky Electric Shaver remains flush with your skin regardless of angle, resulting in a close shave and smooth results. The dual-sided blade lifts longer hairs for a better cut, and hypoallergenic foils and trimmers glide across your skin, leaving no strands behind. This rechargeable foil shaver is ideal for legs, but it also manages your underarms and bikini areas. If sensitivity is an issue, it also features an almond oil strip that soothes your skin with every pass.

Remington’s Smooth & Silky Electric Shaver is 100% waterproof, so you can use it in and out of the shower and with or without shaving gels or creams. In the box, you’ll find a charging stand, bikini comb and head guard, and travel bag.

Wet/Dry: Both

Best for: Legs, underarms

Battery life: 30 minutes

Pros

• Ergonomically designed for comfortable use
• Offers excellent control
• Rechargeable

Cons

• Some reviewers complained about the long process
• Pricey for leg exclusivity

While electric razors cut the hair off at the surface of your skin, epilators go a little deeper, pulling hair directly from the root. If hair removal isn't on your list of favorite things to do, and doing less of it is high on your list of priorities, you might consider Flawless Legs by Finishing Touch. Like the other entries on our list, it’ll remove your hair without nicks, cuts, and irritation.

Made with 18-karat gold-plated floating heads, this device features a “palm-perfect” design that ensures superior control and comfortable use. While it’s for dry use only, the upsides are that you don't need to use creams or gels to get the job done, and you’re not forced into the shower. It’s definitely one of the most expensive devices on our list, though, and considering it’s only suitable for leg hair removal, the price may be a deal-breaker for some.

Your underarms are one of the most sensitive areas to shave, so do it right with Philips SatinShave Advanced women’s electric razor.

Philips SatinShave Advanced features a soft glide cap that covers the back trimmer on the shaver head for an added measure of safety in curvy areas. Its efficiency cap gently pulls your skin taut, guiding your hair into the shaving foil for a smoother finish.

It’s designed with three blades and dual trimmers that lift and cut hair, capturing them at all angles to leave behind a smooth finish. If sensitivity is a concern, you might be happy to know that this razor also has a hypoallergenic foil to prevent irritation.

Remington’s Smooth & Silky On the Go Shaver is ergonomically designed to fit comfortably in your hand (and your luggage). Be sure to pack batteries, though, as it runs on two AAAs.
