Nuts, jingle bells, family jewels, call them what you will – your testicles are important. Not only do they produce sperm (essential for making babies), but they also secrete testosterone (which is responsible for muscle growth and sex drive).
In other words, your balls are pretty damn important. So it’s in your best interest to take care of them – which includes shaving them regularly.
“We’re dudes and we’re hairy. That’s just how it is.” Hold up, did somebody say manscaping? We’re not talking about giving yourself a full-on bikini wax down there.
But if you’re starting to feel like your ball hair situation isn’t exactly attractive, it might be time for a change.
Benefits of Shaving Your Balls
Look, shaving is not going to make you less of a man. It might just do the opposite.
Whoever told you that grooming the boys down there was emasculating probably doesn’t know what they’re talking about (Plus, they are probably the same people who think deodorant is for pussies).
If you’re still not convinced, here are a few benefits of shaving your balls:
Proper Hygiene
Don’t lie – you’ve scratched down your pants and got a whiff of your ball scent before. It’s not a pleasant experience.
By shaving your body hair, you can avoid that unfortunate situation and keep things clean down there.
No more, no less. Pubes can trap sweat and bacteria, which can lead to an uncomfortable and smelly situation. So do yourself a favor and shave your balls!
It Feels Good
Seriously! Once you get past the initial awkwardness of shaving your own balls safely, it’s actually a pretty satisfying experience. And we’re not just talking about the post-shave feel-good factor.
Shaving your balls can make them more sensitive, which can lead to some pretty intense orgasms. If you’re looking to spice up your sex life, give Manscaping a shot!
Visual Appeal
We can all agree that a hairy pair of balls isn’t the most visually appealing sight. If you’re hoping to get lucky, you might want to consider grabbing the razor and having a skin-tight smooth sack.
After all, who wants to get up close and personal with a scruffy set of testicles? Trimmed or shaved balls look much nicer and are more attractive to your partner. Don’t believe us? Just ask them!
Frictionless Fun
Sexy time with chafing? No, thank you. If you’re planning on getting busy with your partner, you’ll want to make sure everything is smooth sailing – literally.
Shaving your balls can help avoid any unwanted friction or discomfort during sex. Not to mention, it’ll be easier for your partner to give them some attention without all that hair getting in the way.
Makes Your Penis Look Bigger
It makes sense. More surface area = more size. And who doesn’t want to look bigger? Even if it’s just an optical illusion, I’ll take it!
Shaving your junk will give you the appearance of having a larger penis.
How To Manscape – The Right Way!
Believe it or not, there is a right way and a wrong way to shave. And trust us, you don’t want to go at your family jewels with the same razor you use on your face. That’s just asking for trouble.
Instead, invest in a good quality body groomer designed specifically for manscaping.
Once you’ve got your groomer, it’s time to get started. Here are a few tips:
- Pre-trim as much hair as possible before shaving. This will make the actual shaving process much easier and help to avoid any nicks or cuts. To do this, carefully trim using the trimmer attachment on your electric trimmer/groomer.
- Start with a clean slate. Make sure to wash your balls (yes, with soap and warm water) before you shave the surrounding area. This will help to avoid any infection or irritation.
- Lather up. Once you’re ready to start shaving, it’s important to use good-quality shaving creams, gel, or pre-shave oil. This will help to protect your skin, soften the hair, and avoid any razor bumps.
- Shave with the grain. When shaving, keep the skin taut and always go in the direction of hair growth for a close shave. Shaving against the grain can lead to irritation, nicks, cuts, and worst of all, pores filled with ingrown hair. Doing this during a warm shower can also make it easier, then rinse with cold water.
- Have a post-shave ritual. In case you didn’t know, your balls are pretty sensitive. That’s why it’s important to take care of them even after you’re done shaving. We recommend using a soothing lotion or balm or even aloe vera to help hydrate your scrotal skin.
Maintenance
Shaving sounds easy enough, right? But it doesn’t stop there. To keep your balls looking and feeling their best, you’ll need to have the right tools and do some maintenance.
Firstly, shave regularly. This will keep the hair from getting too long and becoming uncomfortable. If it does get too long, don’t shave without trimming first. Don’t forget to exfoliate too – dead skin can build up and make your scrotum look dry and flaky.
You don’t have to shave every day. That’s a bad idea. You’ll just end up irritating your skin even more so when you already have sensitive skin. No more than once a week is fine. Otherwise, you risk razor burns, ingrown hairs, and other problems.
Also, don’t use a razor that you know is old and dull. That’s just asking for trouble. Get a new sharp blade if you need to. And be careful – don’t shave too close. The last thing you want is to slash your scrotum and bleed all over the place.
Go Forth And Be Smooth
Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. Shaving your balls can be a liberating experience. Who said that being clean and well-groomed wasn’t sexy?
If you want to feel confident and attractive, make sure you take care of your body – including your nether regions. Shaving your balls is one small step that can make a big difference in grooming.
Contrary to popular belief, how to shave your balls is not that difficult – as long as you’re careful. Follow our guide and you’ll be a pro-ball-shaver in no time! We trust that you’ll make the best decision for yourself whenever you hang loose.
But if you’re still unsure, do more research or ask a friend. And remember – there’s no shame in being smooth!
So go forth, and have smooth balls! You’ll be glad you did.
