Nose trimmer
Many people in the modern world are concerned about such a problem as excessive hair growth in the nose and ears. There can be many reasons for such an inconvenient phenomenon - from a simple predisposition to hormonal disruptions, so you should not postpone a visit to the doctor if it has affected you. But despite not being treated, the hairs can remain in place for some time, spoiling the appearance and negatively affecting self-esteem and the opinions of others.
Fortunately, with excess vegetation, even in such inconvenient places, it is possible and necessary to fight. And the most convenient way to do this is with a special trimmer.
What it is?
Most often, representatives of the stronger sex are concerned about buying a trimmer. Due to the peculiarities of the male body, increased production of hormones and hair growth, they are more likely than women to experience the appearance of vegetation in the areas of the nose and ears. The trimmer allows you to quickly and painlessly cope with it. In addition, it can be used to correct the shape of the mustache and beard. Women can also become owners of this convenient device. Firstly, not all ladies avoid the problem of hairiness in problem areas, and many face the appearance of antennae above the upper lip. Secondly, a compact machine is very convenient to use to cleanse the skin of hair in the bikini area or align the eyebrow line.
In fact, a trimmer is the same as a hair clipper. The difference is the compact form. Designers provide it with a small comfortable head and a small elongated handle. Thanks to its ergonomics, it fits comfortably in your hand and cuts hair with high quality even in hard-to-reach places.
Many are afraid that the principle of operation of the device resembles an epilator, but this is not so. The epilator removes hairs from the root during operation, they are clamped with special heads and quickly pulled out. At the same time, the hair grows much longer, but the process of their removal causes significant pain. This will be especially noticeable on such sensitive areas as the inner surface of the nose and auricles. The trimmer simply cuts the hairs, so that they become invisible to prying eyes, and the appearance becomes neat and attractive.

Often such devices are equipped with batteries, which allows you to take them with you even when traveling and use them where access to electrical outlets is difficult. Separate options, designed only for the treatment of the nose and ears, have a fairly low cost due to narrow specialization. If the trimmer is represented by a separate nozzle that comes with a multifunctional clipper, the price can be much higher. It will also depend on the brand of the manufacturer, power, design and other factors.
But do not look for the cheapest options. First of all, such a device must be safe. After all, the removal of hairs will be carried out on the mucous membranes, so there should not be a single chance for their damage.With the help of multifunctional devices, you can remove hairs on the entire face, adjust the shape of the mustache, beard and eyebrows. For the most thorough removal, it is better to give preference to a device that has curved blades, they allow you to better handle all surfaces.
Experts recommend paying attention to the company that produces the machine. It must have sufficient experience and produce a quality product.
This will ensure that during the use of its products you will not get irritation of the mucous membranes or unexpected cuts.

Buyers note their quality work, ease of use and compactness. Particularly convenient users consider the built-in backlight and the ability to rinse the device under running water.
Users were dissatisfied after purchasing products from Micro Precision and Babyliss.They distinguished themselves by unsuccessful ergonomic qualities and a very long completion of the task.
The device from Panasonic suits men with its quality. It fits comfortably in the hand. However, the ladies were dissatisfied with the limitations of its functionality, because they can only remove vegetation in the nose. Although this can hardly be called a disadvantage. At the same time, he leaves a hair length of about 1-2 millimeters, which is acceptable for men, but women do not like it.
