It's been over a year since I reviewed a product called the Clean Cut personal shaver, a product that I still use today by the way. Recently it was brought to my attention that the Clean Cut had evolved like so many things in the past year and I was offered the chance to try out the new improved version, now know as the BodyBare. Of course I couldn't say no, like many women I love gadgets and I especially like gadgets that are designed to make my life easier in the shaving area, because let's face it shaving is a pain.

So I duly ordered the Body Bare and decided to splurge on the stencils that are sold as a compliment to the shaver. The first thing that drew my attention was unlike its predecessor, the Body Bare is rechargeable. No more batteries, I was liking this already. Like many I have a waterproof socket in my bathroom and I duly plugged in my new shaver and waited till the following morning before proceeding with the ultimate test. It takes 12 hours for the Body Bare to reach full charge.

As I knew I was going to be reviewing this product I hadn't shaved for a couple of weeks and my forest by this time was in serious need of some taming. My first puzzle was to work out how best to use the stencils that I had ordered along with my new shaver. The instructions weren't that clear to be honest, and I was a little confused by the fact that the instructions themselves seemed to accompany a waxing product as opposed to as shaver. I'm not easily deterred though and it wasn't long before I had it figured out. I decided to try and create the smaller design and placed the stencil on my pubic hair wondering how on earth I was going to pull it off but more on that later.

I began with the Lady Fair, simply because I had so much growth and gave my forest a bit of a trim. Trying to follow the design on the stencil was not really what I would call fun at this point and to be honest I was tempted to remove the stencil there and then, but I stuck with it and it wasn't long before I was presented with a tidier forest but it still needed some work for sure.

The BodyBare has a nice shape to it that like its predecessor makes it easy to hold. I also loved the fact that the on/off switch had been moved up to the top near the foil. This made it easier to switch on. I began to finish the job that I had started with the Lady Fair a few minutes earlier. If you've never used one of these shavers, you are in for a treat. The thing that I love about them is unlike wet shaving, you cannot, because of the way the shaver is designed, cut yourself. So you can get into all those folds without worrying about cutting those more delicate parts of your body, which I personally have become pretty attached to over the years! This might sound indelicate but if you have a less than smooth butt crack then the Body Bare will take care of this area as well.

I've found the trick to get really smooth is to use the shaver in a rotating movement, rather than the conventional up and down movement that wet shaving requires. Also a small amount of baby powder can help as having a completely dry pussy is essential for best results. Leave your shower till after you've finished shaving here for best results.

It wasn't too long before I had shaved the areas that needed to be smoothed over and it was time to reveal my new look by taking of my stencil. At this point I had visions of a tearing and tugging of pubic hair but I'm pleased to report this didn't happen, instead the stencil just peeled right off. What I was left with however was less than pleasing as you can see below. I'm not sure what I did wrong but rather than the sexy lightening strip I was expecting, I ended up with well, I'm lost for words here to be honest! I tried using scissors to make it look better but in the end I decided that simply losing the lightening streak was a better idea.

Fortunately this didn't take more than a few waves of the Body Bare and I was as smooth as a babies butt.

What's It All Add Up To?
The BodyBare lives up to its billing. Like its predecessor it delivers a clean, safe cut that leaves you smooth in the right places. The main advantages the Body Bare has is the fact that it's portable and once charged the charge will last for around a week if you don't use it, making it ideal for holidays. I leave mine plugged into the bathroom outlet, so it's already for action.

I was disappointed with the stencils to be honest. I may try them again at a later date but my initial results indicate they are better when used with waxing products than with the Body Bare. I would also recommend if you do buy the stencils if you have sensitive skin you try a skin patch test twenty four hours before you actually apply it. It had no adverse effects on me but I shave a lot so my skin is fairly tough when it comes to things like this.

If you're looking for a safe alternative to wet shaving then the Body Bare offers this for sure. It does take a while to master the right way to shave with the Body Bare but with a little safe trial and error you will end up with a clean shaven pussy without the risk of performing your very own female circumcision. Unlike many products tht proclaim to be new and improved, the Body Bare actually is an improvement over it's older counterpart.

It is worth noting here that if you live outside the USA you will be unable to use the BodyBare without an adaptor as this is designed for the eletrical sockets here.
