Nose and Ear Hair Trimmer Buyers Guide
If you are looking to buy a nose and ear hair trimmer, you really want what you buy to do the job effectively. An ineffective trimmer is not only annoying, but it can be very painful too. Add to that tricky cleaning and a clumsy design and you might just prefer to keep the pesky hair instead.
To help you get the most efficient nose trimming device, here are our top buyers guide tips:
Pain Will Put You Off
The most important aspect of a trimmer going into sensitive, delicate areas like your ears and nose, is that it provides pain-free hair removal. Anything that snags, tugs or otherwise causes eye-watering issues is something you won’t want to use again. As well as the fact it hurts, plucking nose hairs out is also very ill-advised and can leave you open to infection.
Look for sharp, effective blades that remove the hair without any pain. The best products will have safety guards that help prevent the risk of any undue pain.
Versatility Of Use
If you only want the product to trim your nose hair then look for the very best in that category, rather than an ‘all-rounder’. If you would like the chance to trim your ears, eyebrows, nose and even bikini line, then look for multiple attachments and accessories to help you do that.
Where Do You Plan To Use It?
If you plan to use the trimmer in the shower then you will need a product that can be used wet and dry. If you only plan to use the product out of the shower then it doesn’t need to be waterproof. However, there are features such as vacuum hair suction which remove the hair as it is trimmed. This can be a handy feature when you don’t have the water from the shower to rinse away the hair after it has been trimmed.
Power
Most nose hair trimmers are battery-powered although there are still some corded types. Battery powered trimmers tend to be the most portable and only usually need one small battery. However, if you want to be totally free of power dependence then there are mechanic trimmers that utilise a mechanism that enables you to trim. Be wary though, these devices tend not to be the most ‘gentle’ and may require you put up with some painful tugging in exchange for the lack of need for battery power.
Ergonomics
With handheld products that require you gently trim your hair from sensitive areas, ergonomics matter. Look for a comfortable hold and ideally, a long trimming section so you can easily insert it into the nostrils or ears without much difficulty. The ergonomics and maneuverability are particularly important if you plan to trim your eyebrows using the product. You don’t want to struggle to move and control a device effectively when you use it near your eyes.
The tips above can help you get the perfect ear and nose trimmer. With the right product, you’ll soon be enjoying convenient and pain-free hair removal as part of your daily grooming regime.
FAQs
When used in the way intended by the manufacturer nose hair trimmers are generally safe to use.
A nose hair trimmer should not cause any pain when it is being used. However, some ineffective products or older blades can pull or tug at the nose hairs, which is very painful.
