Does this pull or pinch? I bough another Personal Groomer on here and it pulled and pinch me in the bikini area.

I had only tried this particular razor on my legs, and since it wouldn't remove any leg hair at all, I threw the thing out, so could not answer you as far as this groomer working on the bikini area. Since it would not go through leg hair, it did not pull or pinch...it did nothing! What I have seen of it, I would definately look around for a different razor and read as many reviews as possible. Good luck!

I used this for my bikini area, and it definitely pulled on my lady bits when I had some weed whacking to do.

Yes, it does. How much depends on how sensitive you are. If you have loose skin that you want to epilate, you'll need to pull it tight first.

If you're using it dry, the foil will stick causing the head to tilt and the side cutters to dig into the skin. You can avoid this by shaving wet and lathering up first. This will lubricate the foil allowing it to glide over the skin easier. Go slow and things should improve. Despite that, however, it still feels like it's nicking me when I try to shave my "coin purse", but I don't see any blood or obvious injury. I think it's just catching and pulling on the hairs, creating a pinching sensation.

Hello JJI. I have been meaning to respond to your post and used my braun 9595 for the 2nd time only today. I'm a doctor and appreciate your concern which is genuine and as you explain, far from ideal to end up with hairs in your trachy site. Unfortunately, I think you're safer staying away from this shaver for your particular concern since there was a considerable amount of small hairs that fell during my shave today. I could clearly see those hairs in the sink and since they fall out dry, they are more difficult to extract and clean. I don't know if you currently shave with 'wet' razors, but I would imagine that is the safest and cleanest way to shave around the area. Dry hairs tend to be problematic to remove and most likely to elicit the undesired inflammatory reactions although less likely obstruct the area due to their minute size. This shaver does not have a vacuum system and I don't know how it compares to others since this is my first electric shaver. Also, I can't even comment on the quality of shave at this very early stage yet but I'll leave a review in due course. I hope this is useful but please accept this at face value as my opinion only from what I've experienced personally so far. Its worth mentioning that my stubble is slightly thicker than your average stubble. All the best.

I have noticed that if I let the hair grow just a big longer, it is easier for the device to "grab" it. That's the only suggestion I can make. Hope it helps.

I DO NOT trust electric shavers down there...EVER. With the loose skin it is VERY VERY easy to snag and cause a gash. even with a guard and even with the skin pulled taught... I will trim everything else, but it's a razor and some shave cream when I get down there.

Mine has a gap as well. And yes I hadnt noticed that it does widen as toward the handle, but I don't think it affects the effectiveness. I have used it now more and it seems to still get the hair straight. I would like to add a picture I took of it, so you can compare them, but I don't see how I can add attachments. Maybe I can do it in my review I had submitted.

This works great around the bikini line (outside the panty/bikini line), but if you want to use it further inside on the intimate areas, you have to make sure you trim the hair down to about a 1/4" first. Less pain that way. Hope that helps!

I didn't really use it once I found out that it would not grab my hair, so I am not sure. But I don't think it heated. My goal was only to have a brush that turned by itself. If I could find one that both heats and turns I'd be overjoyed, but I don't think it exists. If anyone out there finds one, please holler.

It started pulling my hair. I stopped using it. It didn't straighten my thick hair as well as my old chi. I went back to chi.

Okay hold the sides of the dermaroller where it detached at. Pull it down and out. Be very careful.

I am not sure. My hair is average to thin and my curls are looser (not tight ringlets). I ended up returning it because it pulled my hair. Sorry I am not much help!

its a little bit strong and kinda sharp.....for me i prefer to use it only with headI'm using the body groomer from Philips its very good and beware when you trim or shave sensitive areas the hair will grow sharp but in case the body groomer it grew normal and not pin pointing

This is a trimmer, and not a razor, so don't expect close shaves! Depending on the length that you cut your hair, you may experience some itchiness. Take your time down there!

Hah!To answer the original poster's question, I think I'd be a little more comfortable with a regular razor shaver for that kind of thing. This strikes me as too liable to do "pinching" and such.

I don't know since I have not tried it there. I have used it on the eyebrows and you can't even feel it but it works, no pinching or pulling.

Not a silly question, I wondered about it too, before I bought it. The flap does stay down. The problem that I had with this massager was the machinery inside. It catches on the threads or fabric inside and stops working. Mine lasted about 2 months before this happened. I tried cutting it open and detaching the machinery from the fabric - but it just happens again.
