The ultra-small trimmer is about the size and shape of a pen, and even comes with a protective cap that protects the fine blades from damage, as well as the user from any cross contamination. In addition, the bikini trimmer is 100% waterproof, allowing it to be used in the shower, as well as efficiently and effectively cleaned. The trimmer comes with two different blades, a larger one that's great for cutting body and facial hair, and a smaller one that's made for the eyebrows, nose, and ear hair. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.1/10 - Popularity: 75% | Activity: 69% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Cosmetics](https://www.trendhunter.com/cosmetics) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Portable Grooming Tools:** The trend of portable grooming tools creates opportunities for innovative, compact, and travel-friendly products like the travel-ready bikini trimmer. - **Waterproof Personal Care Devices:** The rise in demand for waterproof personal care devices presents opportunities for companies to develop and market fully waterproof trimmers like Remington's bikini trimmer. - **Multipurpose Trimmers:** The growing interest in versatile personal grooming tools opens up possibilities for multipurpose trimmers that can handle body, facial, eyebrow, nose, and ear hair trimming. ### Where This Applies - **Beauty and Personal Care:** The beauty and personal care industry can tap into the trend of portable grooming tools by developing and marketing innovative products that cater to travelers and on-the-go consumers. - **Consumer Electronics:** The consumer electronics industry has an opportunity to create disruptive innovation in the waterproof personal care device market by incorporating advanced technology and features into waterproof trimmers. - **Health and Wellness:** The health and wellness industry can explore the multipurpose trimmer trend by developing grooming devices that offer all-in-one solutions for various hair trimming needs, targeting convenience-seeking consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Dual Women's Razors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hydro-silk.md) - [Travel-Friendly Micro-Sized Razors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/schick-hydro-silk-mini-razor.md) - [Frequent Traveler Grooming Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/panasonic-multishape.md) - [2-In-1 Trimmer Systems](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fur-trim-system.md) - [Supplemental Hair Removal Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/finishing-touch-flawless-bikini.md) - [Compact Pocket-Sized Beard Trimmers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/zera-m.md) - [Gender-Neutral Intimate Trimmers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/philips-norelco-oneblade-intimate.md) - [Beard-Specific Hair Trimmers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-beard-hedger.md) - [Two-in-One Grooming Razors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bic-flex-5-trim-shave.md)
