Trim your body hair (including down there) with confidence Portable Curling Iron
Unless you embrace the au naturel approach with your pubic hair (and let's be clear, there's absolutely no judgement here), you probably try to maintain a well-groomed nether region. Enter the not-so- age-old practice of manscaping.
Whether you’re a seasoned grooming enthusiast or new to the world of precision styling, we understand that finding the perfect tool for taming the hair down there can be a daunting task.
Rest assured, though, for we at Men’s Health have undertaken extensive research to bring you the ultimate guide to the best full body groomers, pubic hair trimmers and body hair trimmers on the market – all designed specifically to cater to your most intimate grooming needs.
We’ve taken a deep dive into the top-rated trimmers for balls and pubes, analysing their performance, and special features with the help of user feedback. From precision blades to ergonomic designs, we've left no stone unturned. Over in the MH Lab, our expert testers used a sophisticated noise meter, recognising the significance of privacy as a top priority.
You'll find our full reviews, ahem, down below, but here are our top 16 expert-tested and editor-approved grooming tools at a glance.
The charge time is very important, or you could risk being left with half-trimmed nether regions moments before a Netflix and chill session. For similar reasons, a speedy charge-up time is also crucial.
Look for waterproofing. It's sometimes easier to trim in the shower, as the water washes away your hair and makes it easier to cut.
Check out the guards on your new trimmer to ensure it can handle your hair. Many companies have made big improvements to protect the skin while shaving, and some also offer different length settings to help style, trim and safeguard while trimming.
Body hair is thicker than facial fuzz, so full body groomers tend to have more powerful razors to cut through it effectively.
Consider when you will be using your trimmer. If portability for travel is a priority, opting for a compact size would be wise.
Ergonomics play a vital role in all types of razors. You need a trimmer that can navigate the tightest corners with ease. If you have smaller hands, it's advisable to find one that fits comfortably in your grip. For gentlemen with larger hands, opting for a bigger razor will stop you feeling like you’re wielding a surgical scalpel.
When it comes to the best pubic hair trimmer for use in the shower, make sure you can hold it comfortably, as things tend to get slippery. All these factors directly influence your shaving experience, and a poor choice may result in an undesirable trim job.
Nowadays, most manufacturers avoid using metal blades on your delicates; they recognize that such sensitive skin requires a gentler touch. Ceramic blades and safety mechanisms have emerged as the optimal choices, and most razors come equipped with one of these options.
While not as crucial as other aspects, extras are still worth thinking about. Some trimmers come bundled with convenient accessories such as charging bases (and if you're fortunate, wireless ones), additional trimmer heads, or even nose hair trimmers and oils. If these extras sound useful to you, pay attention to the product listings and their inclusions. Even a simple carry case can be a handy addition.
Believe it or not, relying on your trusty beard trimmer to handle all your grooming needs without any additional investment may not be the wisest decision. Let's face it, using the same device to trim both your facial hair and your intimate regions is, well, a questionable choice, my friend.
Aside from basic hygiene considerations, subjecting your delicate bits to a fast-moving, deep-cutting beard trimmer sounds like a scene straight out of a horror flick. Manscaping requires finesse, precision, and a healthy dose of patience.To tackle the task of eliminating unwanted pubic hair without any bloodshed, you'll need the assistance of a dedicated pubic hair trimmer or full body groomer.
These nifty devices typically boast long-lasting batteries, protective guards to safeguard your prized possessions, ergonomically designed handles for optimal control, and even a handy LED light to guide your way with care.
What's more, these grooming tools have become more affordable in recent years, thanks to the pandemic forcing men to tend to their own "gardens" and acquire their own grooming equipment during lockdown.
For those seeking versatility, some full body trimmers come equipped with multiple attachments (cue applause for the 11-in-1 Wahl).
With these attachments, you can select the perfect head designed specifically for the body part you wish to tame. Opting for such a do-it-all device is a savvy choice for those with smaller bathrooms or who travel often.
Products stamped with the Men's Health Lab Approved logo below have been put through their paces by testers from our 225-strong panel. They tried different grooming tools to find the best at tackling hair, from head to toe, over a two-week period.
They noted how easy each tool was to use, whether it came with any useful attachments and design features, and how well it performed when trimming and shaving hair.
In the MH Lab, our expert testers used a noise meter to give each device a noise rating out of five, should privacy be a priority.
The remaining grooming tools have been selected by our very own MH editors, who have picked their go-to gadgets for this year (just look for the Editor's Choice badge.)
