How can I smooth my balls without reducing the chances of getting injured?

 The fact of the matter is men’s grooming has peaked and is on the rise each year.

Whether males are doing this for medical or hygienic reasons — the task is never completely simple and most males have indeed injured themselves, on at least one occasion.

One of the most important decisions before getting to work on your scrotum is knowing your equipment and picking the right tool.

The last piece of equipment you want to be using is a disposable razor you use on your face and then you’re below the belt area. This is unhygienic and you’re basically dragging your scrotum across your face.

Your scrotum skin is one of the most sensitive skins on your body and is very delicate so we recommend an electric trimmer designed for this area to reduce the chances of an injury ( there are many different companies that can provide you the correct equipment when it comes to grooming sensitive regions such as your scrotum — we recommend you take a look at Smoothmyballs products ).

Preparing that sack for smooth balls.

Do not just pick up your razor and try to shave through your rainforest — this will lead to sucks and irrational scrotum skin and lets be honest; who wants itchy cut up balls?

It is important to safely trim your pubic hair to a shorter length before starting. We recommend you trim with either scissors or an electric razor designed for the job. Unless you frequently shave this is important for first timers. You want your hair to be as closely cut to the skin without being too close that you could cut or nick.

The best way to do this is your positioning. Position yourself with one leg propped up in a comfortable position and trim away — make sure you carefully do this and pull the hair tight and trim as short as possible without touching the skin.

Warm your scrotum up. A warm shower or bath will help soften the remaining stubble for easier hair removal; make sure that the temperature of the water is not too hot; you could potentially burn your balls but also not too cold that your balls shrivel away. This step will also help your balls relax and prevent them from hanging loose for a much easier maneuvering grooming session.

Shaving tips when getting the job done.

1. Positioning as mentioned beforehand when grooming — prop a leg up and get to work

2. Use one hand to pull the skin tight and as straight as possible while using the other to gently shave that sack ( if you are right handed use your right to maneuver your trimmer and your left to pull the skin and vice versa ).

3. Use slow and delicate strokes in the direction that the hair grows ( do not shave against the grail but shave with the grail ).

4. Rinse off with warm water and pat down your smooth balls.

After your shave there is one more thing to do — the aftercare.

Hopefully at this point you have come out of the other side without any injuries such as cuts and nicks. It is time to apply the aftercare. Apply oil or balm to your scrotum and look for soothing ingredients such as aloe vera. Avoid ingredients that could cause irritation and pain such as menthol and alcohol.
