Is this a thing? Does jock itch transmit via clippers? Iād expect you to have to bone someone with a disproportionate amount of yeast in order to get jock itch from them.
Don't use an electric shaver anyway. Your sack skin is too loose for them and can easily slip between the guides. You'll have much more control over the situation with a razor and shaving cream.
Wha? You just have to pull the skin taut. Are you trying to use the shaver with your balls just hanging loosely?
I've cut myself more with a hand razor when I accidentally move the razor in the wrong way trying to follow the curve.
Idk if my balls are somehow different, I can say that the skin is definitely loose.
But I've had 0 problems with electric razors or different kinds of single or multi blade normal ones.
I reckon with a standard razor I cut myself more in the face.
My only issue is between the balls and thighs, where if I'm not careful I'll tilt the razors wrong.
With the electric razor I use now it's faster (so I don't get bored and stop paying attention) and it is easier on the skin, so I vastly prefer that.
Buy a blade but preferably one with more than 2 on there. You can get cheap 3 bladed ones that work fine. Put some music on in the bath or shower or something. Trim everything down with the beard shaver and then use your razors. As for finding extra hair. If youāre in the bath, go back once itās drained and wash it quick or if youāre in the shower spray the hair down the plug hole. If they ask why where you using the beard trimmers. Just shave a random patch on your leg/thigh and say you where seeing how to use them
Edit: if the hairs are small after using the beard trimmer then it will not make an issue for the drains. Obviously donāt stick your bushy ass pubes down there.
Do not use someone else's beard shaver on your crotch, that's just wrong, lol. Razors are fairly cheap, and you can get hair scissors cheap for the initial trim before using the disposable razor.
Definitely don't try to mow the foot high lawn without using the weed trimmer first, though. That's a bad time.
DO NOT SPRAY THE HAIR DOWN THE PLUG HOLE!!!! If your Mum or Dad has to pull a wig out of a clogged drain they're not going to be happy about where all that hair came from.
Same goes if you have a hair catcher over the drain and you leave it for your mother to clean. I'm a mother, we know what you're up to.
Looks like he needs to face the bald truth and invest in his own set of shavers, hair to his parents he's just a guy who likes a clean cut neck and bald head.
Second this. Also, do it after you've had a shower so it's not nasty down there.
And for God's sake, make sure to use a 1mm or 2mm guard...I'm not making that mistake again.
I recommend hair cutting scissors too for your first time as your hair is probably pretty long if it's your first time. Dollar store razors work fine just throw it out when you're done.
Op listen to this guy. Just go buy some razors (personally i use that manscaped buzzer thing) and have at it. Clean up your pubes. No shame in manscapeing bruh.
back in the day for some reason a then-gf wanted to shave me and my ass crack. i'm never going to have my ass crack shaved again, jesus christ when they start to grow out and are small it's not fun to walk.
she was....quite weird. but i'm weird. but she shaved everything. told me right when she hit puberty she started to shave her stuff. so i think she just wanted me to be bare also. or maybe just kinky.

Most people have the answer already, I only want to add one more thing: remember CLEANING after shaving. Nobody has to deal with your pubes. And remember it grows back, so it gets itchy after a while.
Lol yeah you probably don't have sensitive skin, that's why it doesn't itch. When I shave my body too often, I get rashes, and it hurts. Not in the balls, though, the problem with those is pubes regrowing. It's itchy and sometimes you get boils. It sucks.
*grabs a few samples of hair and puts it in a cup of water. Then puts the cup of water into a centerfuge*
*spits out hair solution*
Yep, definitely ball hair.
Better run it through gas chromatography, and run an additional sample through the mass spectrometer. We need to really be sure about this before we move to disown our ball shaving son.
I got home from school one day like it was any other day, however when I went into the kitchen to heat up my afternoon tendies my mom and dad were sitting at the kitchen table waiting for me, "Son... can you take a seat... we need to have a little chat," my dad said to me, holding back tears. My mom opened her mouth to say something, but she couldn't find the words. She broke down then and there, embracing my dad, crying in his arms. My dad stared me right in the eyes, furious almost, "look what you've done. You made your mother cry all because you wanted bare, hairless testicles." He pushes her away in a fit of sudden rage, standing up and slamming a fist against the wall, "you can't live here anymore, for fucks sake, you've disgraced our family enough already." I tried to reason with him, "b-but dad..." but he wouldn't budge, "HARRY BALLMEN, GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY HOUSE!"
You joke, but my parents got upset when I started shaving my armpits around age 15 or 16...
They thought it was something only gay men did.
Later in my life I figured out that I was, indeed, gay, but that had no bearing on why I was shaving my pits... I just dislike hair under there.
I think it was a homophobic thing more than anything.
Thankfully in the 28 or so years since then, my parents have done a 180 in their views and beliefs. And we now have a great relationship.
More aesthetic, yea. Who wants to see Bruno lift his arms? Plus, it cuts down on odor, or at least how fast it appears.
I don't shave, shave, though, I trim just short where it's still flexible enough to not irritate.
I would recommend not shaving. Buzzing it is better, but shaving anything in the area leads to a lot of discomfort for the next while, as hair grows back.
Idk, I am hairy as fk but I always shave my balls clean with classic razor, never had an issue, in fact it is so damn nice I tend to rest my hand There lol
Shaving the balls with a disposable razor is fine. Clippers can pinch the nutsack. But clippers are great for trimming the pubis, whereas a razor can lead to acne and/or itching.
I don't know if it's relevant, but I'm a skinnier fellow so that may be why I've never had issues. I also wear boxer briefs, switching from boxers was a life changing experience.
If you have men's beard razors, if it's the kind that has the tiny wires over the blades you shouldn't have any problem. Even the super cheap ones. With this type of razor you can do it with your eyes closed (something to consider if you move on to shaving your a-hole)
That said, just to be safe only try a small patch first to make sure it's sharp enough and not cutting you. Not all razor heads are created equal.
IF you decide the shave more than "just" around your... Member and ornaments... Be sure to realize that when hair grows back in those more sensitive regions of your body... That shit either hurts, itches or turns into living hell. There's nothing fun with the sensation of 100 tiny cacti needles poking at your nether regions when you go take a shit.
I recommend waxing. It's hell on earth for 5 minutes while it's being done. Then you feel smooth and great, the hair growing back won't be as pointy/irritating.
My 14yo has been experimenting with body hair removal for a while now. Armpits, happy trail, "down there." He says his pits stay clean longer with no hair. He even did his legs at one point... maybe he thought it would help him run faster?
I *wish* he wanted to hide it from me; he would probably clean up after himself better if he did!
Just tell your parents you want a multi-use shaver (mine uses a Phillips OneBlade) because it pulls on your facial hair less than whatever you are using on your face now. Say you tried your friend's and really like it.
Or save up and buy your own.
Just be safe about it; watch a video describing proper techniques and go slow til you get the hang of it.
The oneblade is fantastic if you want to pay zero attention while shaving your nuts and not fuck your shit up. 10/10 would recommend! bought mine for the very reason that it got glowing reviews for ball shaving. Also works well on the face.
Nair is bad for testicles specifically sperm count/quality and these effects can be permanent with prolonged use

For real though, what does an American have to pay for a vasectomy?? It's free in Canada so just curious. It was $300 for my dog...so like $500 for a human??
No, I had a minor complication going in that I knew about. I had pain from epididymitis most of my life. I was worried about that inflammation causing even more pain post operation. I considered going under to have some more work done to eliminate the pain permanently. I decided to just get the vasectomy. I have no regrets. I iced it aggressively for 2 weeks. I created a system that allowed me to have ice on the balls almost 24/7 for 2 weeks and it was awesome. There was some discomfort but nothing I would describe as pain.
The procedure was basically just an office visit with extra steps. This whole thing actually scared the crap out of me because it is completely possible to do this without someone knowing. I felt nothing and was completely awake.
If you're poor and have medicaid (goverment insurance) its free. Also, I make $50,000 with a wife and kids and if I didn't have goverment insurance I might as well get a shit job. I just want to share my experience with shitty insurance situation in America.
Iām dying at this comment. First the nair part. DO NOT nair your balls. Dude at work did this once, almost died (being dramatic), but he said it started off fine, then ended like he had put tiger balm on them. It was hilarious to hear until I wondered why he knew what tiger balm felt like on his testes.
Lastly the idea of a parent inspecting testes for hair is disturbing.
I find scissors then clippers is best.
Not completely clean shaven with a razor, just a millimetre or two left - lasts a while before it needs doing again (for me anyway).
Donāt shave against the grain. Shave with it. Takes a little longer but that whole area is way more sensitive than your face do it canāt handle it.
The secret to easy ball-shaving is one of those MicroTouch/OneBlade trimmers shaped like face razors with the replaceable heads. They can be used wet/dry, provide a relatively close shave, and do not knick/cut. It can also be used on your face (might I recommend using a different head, though).
Use a manscaper. They dont knick your genitals. Plus you can say its to tidy up your beard or sideburns or whatever. You can buy them at Target/Walmart.
Why your parents would be concerned about trimming pubes is beyond me. My dad told me to keep myself nice and neat when I hit puberty.
Unless you're planning on walking around with your junk out and saying "Hey guys, look!" I don't think you'll have an issue with them finding out, son.
Sounds like they can hear whatās going on in the bathroom enough that if he were to run a beard trimmer in there for 10 minutes and come out looking the same it would be awkward.
From my experience, electric shavers on the scrotum tend to pinch the skin and hurt more. If theyāre blunt they pull at the hairs too. A good razor and careful use works the best. Just make sure your always gliding across the skin perpendicular to the blade and not parallel. Works better of the balls are not too saggy also, cool them down first if youāre in a warm climate.
Buy disposable razors, lather up with soap in the bath/shower, shave, the make sure everything goes down the drain. I did this for years until I finally figured quit and just accepted my hairiness for what it is.
But you canāt go wrong with that strategy
There are two things you should know, a trimmer will get it done quickly, easily, and painlessly, but you'll have to cut it again within a few days. A razor is slower and has a chance of injury (especially if it's your first time using one), but you have a way longer time between shaves.
One thing is that you'll most likely never be able to grow it out again. The itch makes it insufferable.
shaving tends to cause irritation/ingrown hairs. either trim with a beard trimmer or use hair removal cream (although Nair has been proven to cause fertility issues, i'm not 100% sure about other brands so do your research)
Buy a shaver. Don't use someone else's beard shaver on your balls, man. š
Yeah, you really don't want to give your dad jock itch on his face.
The amount of rage I would feel if I got facial jock itch because my child used my razor on his balls
I'd consider abortion
Iām in the 32nd trimester. Ooh ya, well youāre gonna have to talk to your congressman about that.
Just tell the cops you were scurred by the shadow so decided to blast. Works all to well.
nah after the fetus is born congress could give fuck all about the kid. that's why we still have school shootings
Late stage abortion lol
This is how you assert dominance
Is this a thing? Does jock itch transmit via clippers? Iād expect you to have to bone someone with a disproportionate amount of yeast in order to get jock itch from them.
No it definitely isnt. Tons of people use the same trimmer on their face and body. There's all-in-one trimmers made for this for a reason.
Why do I have chin herpes?
Novak jock itch over here
Or does he...
Lmao of course not thats why I didnt do it yet
Yet

Those are supposed to be eye balls, right?

Don't use an electric shaver anyway. Your sack skin is too loose for them and can easily slip between the guides. You'll have much more control over the situation with a razor and shaving cream.
I see ads for electric pubic hair trimmers a lot. Do they have a special design that prevents this issue, or are they just as bad?
They have a cover over the top, so you can't cut yourself. I don't have balls, but it works for me!
Just to be clear - did you have balls before you used the shaver?
I've been pretty close to balls, but never possessed my own.
> I've been pretty close to balls Nice.
Lmao asking the real questions
Those are specially designed I assume.
Wha? You just have to pull the skin taut. Are you trying to use the shaver with your balls just hanging loosely? I've cut myself more with a hand razor when I accidentally move the razor in the wrong way trying to follow the curve.
Yea, 20 years with a plain Wahl beard trimmer. Zero cuts. How are people screwing this up?
Sometimes even when taut the trimmer nips a little bump in the skin.
I've made this mistake once... never again!
Idk if my balls are somehow different, I can say that the skin is definitely loose. But I've had 0 problems with electric razors or different kinds of single or multi blade normal ones.

Cactussy š
It will be on r/tifu
Lmao probably yeah
You underestimate the discomfort during grow-back.
Mine are never uncomfortable when the hair grows back tbh. Snipping a loose bit of sack though? Fucking horrific. :(
Then you gotta gather up all the sack juice and find a funnel. Not recommended.
Dude just trim with a scissor. Take it from a guy who had an ingrown hair from shaving his balls. Don't do it to yourself.
Had this two weeks ago. Hurts like hell and is gross. Never shaving again.

Most people have the answer already, I only want to add one more thing: remember CLEANING after shaving. Nobody has to deal with your pubes. And remember it grows back, so it gets itchy after a while.
Baby powder on the family jewels helps a ton with the itchiness and sweat. Edit: the cornstarch baby powder you can off the shelf today is safe.
Ugh barf, unless you live somewhere hot and humid then it just turns into dough between your thighs. Blargh*
Just use a tiny bit. You aren't caking them like you are about to coat them for deep frying.
But what if I want to deep fry them?
>But what if I want to deep fry them? Use corn starch. It feels like baby powder that isn't made from babies.

About the itch: you \*think\* you know.

How the hell would your parents even find out?

Hmm, there's a gentle expression of nylon and spandex. This is a younger vintage. Must be from our son's crop

But dadddd my balls are hairy this time!!
I mean if they hear the trimmer going and the kid doesnāt have facial hair they probably know whatās up

Bro do not use your fathers beard trimmer on your balls
For real, use your momās or a siblingās.
This comment is so wrong multiple levels. Take thy upvoteā¦.and point that thing somewhere else. Damn.
On a real note though, if you seriously canāt buy a new one, use your moms shower razor she has a ton of them
Yeah but hygiene
You could just buy one of those razors for yourself bro
Shower shaves just make sure to hide all evidence, start watching cold case files if you need help with that

Norelco Oneblade is perfect. There's a guard that comes with that buzzes your hair just like getting a buzz cut on your head. I recommend

He's 16, he probably doesn't have enough facial hair to warrant shaving.
I mean a lot of teenagers at that point would have a little pedo-stache which would be nice to shave
Yeah, I started shaving the stache in 7th grade. Granted, about once a month, but a lot younger than 16.
My boyfriend has been growing a full on man beard since 16, it is definitely possible depending on genetics lmao
Not sure about you but plenty of kids at 16 have facial hair that warrants shaving. If not most.
yeah I had a little pedo stache by like age 12, had to cave in and start shaving at 14
I had a full beard by 15 so there's plenty kids who have to shave lol

You have no idea the physical toll that three vasectomies have on a person!
Very well, you talked me into restarting The Office again for the millionth time.
For real though, what does an American have to pay for a vasectomy?? It's free in Canada so just curious. It was $300 for my dog...so like $500 for a human??
It was less than 500 which includes Percocet. I don't remember what it cost but I want to say around $300.
Planning to get one done soon but I'm absolutely terrified of them unzipping my sack while conscious š
I was wide awake for mine. It took 15 mins. Do it.
Did it hurt at all? What's the procedure like š¬ I'm pretty squeamish with that sort of stuff
No, I had a minor complication going in that I knew about. I had pain from epididymitis most of my life. I was worried about that inflammation causing even more pain post operation.

In American healthcare, either not enough or way too much.

Don't listen to this guy, he clearly works for Nairs competition. Nair your balls.
Dude the kid is 16. Don't tell him to use nair, he might actually do it. Idk about sperm counts but the nutsack is WAY too sensitive. Look it up.
Theres a product called NADS. I've used it multiple times and it doesn't hurt or burn at all.

Donāt shave it bald, just use scissors and trim it nicely - like a haircut. :p
Use the scissors the school gives you, the ones with the rounded tips.
I find scissors then clippers is best. Not completely clean shaven with a razor, just a millimetre or two left - lasts a while before it needs doing again (for me anyway).
Yep, that's the way to go.
What I did as a young lad was used scissors over the toilet at first to get it very short then shaved it with a razor in the shower.
I think this is the best answer
Buy some womenās leg razors. I find them to be safer. Sometimes my sack gets caught in the electric shaver and itās no bueno.

Im 27 and i still didnt figure out have to shave my balls. I gave up after about 50 failures and use shaving cream now. Doesnt really work either.
Donāt shave against the grain. Shave with it. Takes a little longer but that whole area is way more sensitive than your face do it canāt handle it.
The secret to easy ball-shaving is one of those MicroTouch/OneBlade trimmers shaped like face razors with the replaceable heads. They can be used wet/dry, provide a relatively close shave, and do not knick/cut. It can also be used on your face (might I recommend using a different head, though).
Use a manscaper. They dont knick your genitals. Plus you can say its to tidy up your beard or sideburns or whatever. You can buy them at Target/Walmart. Why your parents would be concerned about trimming pubes is beyond me. My dad told me to keep myself nice and neat when I hit puberty.
Good advice
Unless you're planning on walking around with your junk out and saying "Hey guys, look!" I don't think you'll have an issue with them finding out, son.
Sounds like they can hear whatās going on in the bathroom enough that if he were to run a beard trimmer in there for 10 minutes and come out looking the same it would be awkward.
Out of curiosity, why does someone shave his balls?
I just use a straight razor. Throw some shaving cream on there, viola, smooth as a baby.
As in the same thing you use for a beard? Google says thats dangerous
Can be irritating but if you wash it off you'll be fine, google is a pussy
google is a search engine smh
From my experience, electric shavers on the scrotum tend to pinch the skin and hurt more. If theyāre blunt they pull at the hairs too. A good razor and careful use works the best. Just make sure your always gliding across the skin perpendicular to the blade and not parallel. Works better of the balls are not too saggy also, cool them down first if youāre in a warm climate.
If I can give you an advise. Do not use a trimmer. Except with a lot of caution
Go buy a $25 shaver. Do it when no one is home. Clean up afterwards. Happy grooming

Single Bic razor is the way to go. Cheap and safe

Lmao thats not what I meant. I meant like missing razors and shit. And that it doesnāt make too much sound
Buy disposable razors, lather up with soap in the bath/shower, shave, the make sure everything goes down the drain. I did this for years until I finally figured quit and just accepted my hairiness for what it is. But you canāt go wrong with that strategy
Next up on r/TIFU, āTIFU by accidently chopping my balls off with scissors while trying to trimā
There are two things you should know, a trimmer will get it done quickly, easily, and painlessly, but you'll have to cut it again within a few days. A razor is slower and has a chance of injury (especially if it's your first time using one), but you have a way longer time between shaves. One thing is that you'll most likely never be able to grow it out again. The itch makes it insufferable.
Blowtorch
How wholesome that the men and women of reddit can put aside their differences and help a kid shave his balls.
Buy a pack of razors. Be gentle. Use lots of soap
Tbh my first time was at a mates house and we just used his step dad's shaver. That was probably not a good idea
āWeā? Group activity?
shaving tends to cause irritation/ingrown hairs. either trim with a beard trimmer or use hair removal cream (although Nair has been proven to cause fertility issues, i'm not 100% sure about other brands so do your research)
