Customer Reviews of Panasonic ES246AC Bikini Shaper and Trimmer
Customer Review: Great way to a get a clean look without irritation
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this razor a few months ago because I wanted the bare look, but my skin is very sensitive and shaving just wasn't cutting it. Waxing was too expensive/painful/embarrassing/messy of an option for me and epilators seemed intimidating as well.
This is a great, economical option for me. I use it without the guard and get the hair down to just a stubble (I've never cut myself). That avoids any skin irritation (itching or bumps) but still keeps things neat. I'd give it five stars if it could make it completely smooth, but that probably brings back irritation issues.
The head is too wide to get around areas with folds, so I use it in combination with the Finishing Touch Lumina Lighted Hair Remover with Pivoting Head to get to areas around my lips and between my butt cheeks.
I also have no problem using a razor and cream to shave around my lips - it's only the mons that get irritated, so you might try that to get the smoothest results where it counts most :-)
I've also used it, with the guard, to trim the longer hairs around my boyfriend's nipples. I'm guessing you could use it for other areas of the body, like trimming sideburns or neck hair, if you wanted to, making it versatile, cheap, quick and effective. A good buy.
Customer Review: Best trimmer of it's kind
Summary: 5 Stars
I've had various cordless trimmers, all of them were rechargeable, and all of them lost power within a year or two and the cost of replacing the battery was almost as much as the trimmer.
This trimmer takes 2 standard AA batteries. I use Sanyo Eneloop rechargables which are excellent.
This trimmer is very powerful for it's small size. It fits the hand well. Many cordless trimmers I had in the past were overly bulky. It's a "bikini" trimmer, and it works great for my girlfriend, but I use it too, and we both love it.
I've trimmed my beard, my hair, and all parts and it's great. The adjustable length mechanism works very well and is removable, as are the blades which can be removed and thoroughly cleaned (and replaced if necessary).
This product is very well designed, and at an excellent price. I highly recommend it.
P.S. - The item doesn't come with batteries. As I said earlier, I highly recommend Sanyo Eneloop rechargeable batteries. They're NiMH batteries but with a new design so they keep their charge ("normal" NiMH rechargeable batteries rapidly lose their charge entirely after only a month even when they're not being used at all). Sanyo claims an unused Eneloop battery will still have up to 85% of it's charge after 1 year, and my experience with them seems to confirm that.
Customer Review: Great little trimmer!
Summary: 5 Stars
This trimmer is sure to keep your lower pubic area neat and tidy! You can adjust the length, so you have control of how much you trim and how much you keep. It doesn't get you completely bald down there, but since I had read the reviews before purchasing this product I wasn't expecting it to. -For that I would suggest some Skintimate shaving cream and a Mach 3 razor. Oh, and some Bikini Zone as well. I personally prefer to just have mine neat and in order instead of completely shaved and so far this trimmer has kept me from having to deal with razor bumps. Another plus is that it comes with a form showing you how you can order more parts if you need to. The top is adjustable and can come off for shaping up the edges and then it resembles regular hair clippers. (I didn't know about that until I had received it.) Anyway, if you lose that top part or drop it and accidentally step on it or something, you're gonna wanna replace just that part instead of the whole trimmer. It's a little less stressful for me if I know -before I use the product- that if I screw something up, I can just order that particular part.
All in all, I'm really glad I purchased this product!
*****Special Note About The Product's Color: THIS PRODUCT IS NOT JUST FOR WOMEN. MEN CAN BENEFIT FROM USING THIS TRIMMER, TOO. IT'S PRETTY GOOD.*****
Customer Review: Best product I've bought in a long time.
Summary: 5 Stars
Well, I can honestly say after doing MUCH research within the "bikini hair-removing" area, this was the best thing I could have ever bought. I looked up bikini trimmers, the shavers, the wax, and this product definitely beats them all. I actually used to use the Shick Intuition Razer and, even with shaving cream, I always itched afterwards and got shave bumps and, it was quite annoying. Then I began researching, bought this product, and I have not been disappointed. I guess depending on what you like, the little part that goes on the top lets you adjust how long you want your hair, the settings go from 1-5. I personally like it very very short, so I just take the additional part on top off and use the trimmer by itself. I found this works well. I have had this for 2 months I think and I'm still on the first set of batteries, and I usually use it for about 5 minutes or so each time I trim, once a week, so, the battery life is pretty good. It fits nicely in your hand, its easy to use, and best of all it's afforable and it DOESN'T hurt like maybe a wax would. So, if you're looking for a pain-free, easy way to get rid of the bikini line that won't kill your wallet (because that's a big deal when you're in college like I am) I would suggest this to anyone in a heartbeat.Customer Review: Pretty darn close
Summary: 5 Stars
My wife and I were looking for a workable solution for the hair down under. While her hair is not thick, it grows long very quickly. She has tried waxing - too painful - and shaving would cause a lot of bumps and irritation, even with the Shick Intutition.
The trimmer is great. Yes, Amazon should take down the photo of the storage pouch. Yes, it won't get you totally smooth or bald. Get a wax or laser removal if you want a total smooth finish. But it is a well built TRIMMER, which is painless and easy to use. You can adjust the length you want, and you can easily work around the more sensitive and intimate southern locations.
Just take it easy around your bits. It's helpful to use a mirror, assuming you're using it alone. It's more fun if you have your partner help. If you want the smooth look, use this handy device before you break out the razor and shaving cream/lotion. It makes it much easier and cuts down on irritation.
You can get creative with styling your pubic hair into shapes and designs. Hey what ever works for you and/or you an your partner. Speaking of which, it works for men too.
