The 5 Best Body Groomers and Pubic Hair Trimmers for Men 2024

Our team of grooming experts have tested every body groomer and pubic hair trimmer in this guide (and more). Using each tool to trim body hair (think armpits, back, chest, balls and everything in between), our testers each rated every trimmer’s cutting ability, battery life, water resistance claims and performance. The products featured passed our rigorous at-home tests and display our Editor’s Choice badge.

Do You Need a Separate Trimmer for Your Beard and Your Balls?

Believe it or not, relying on a 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 a questionable choice.

Aside from basic hygiene considerations, subjecting your balls 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 sculpt your pubic hair without any bloodshed, you’ll need the assistance of a dedicated pubic hair trimmer or full body groomer – or, failing that, a dedicated body hair attachment. 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. Here’s what to look for when shopping for one.

Key Features To Look Out For

During our testing, our team noticed a few key features that are worth keeping an eye out for. From waterproofing to battery life, these additional extras will help make your manscaping session that much easier.

Waterproofing

It’s down to personal preference whether you trim wet or dry, but when it comes to clearing up your trimmings, it’s arguably easier to tidy up in the shower, as the water washes away your hair. For that, you’ll need a trimmer that’s waterproof.

All the body groomers featured in this guide claim to be 100% waterproof – and we can personally attest to those claims, having tested each trimmer’s performance both in and out of the shower.

If you have sensitive skin, a manscaping session in the shower can also help to keep irritation to a minimum, as the heat and steam from hot water opens up your pores and softens hair, making it easier to cut.

On the other hand, trimming dry hair can tend to give you more control and therefore a more even finish. Wet hair naturally looks different when it dries and it can tend to clog up your trimmer head more than dry hair. Plus, you don’t have the added distraction of water falling on your when your trim dry.

Guards

You may not always want to go for the bald eagle, so check your trimmer comes with guards or adjustable length settings so that you have more options when it comes to styling.

Guards are also important when it comes to protecting your skin, particularly if you’re using an all-in-one trimmer that’s primarily meant for styling beard hair. A bare trimmer without a guard may be fine for tidying up your neckline, but using it around your balls could risk you cutting your skin.

Accessories

While not as crucial as other aspects, extras are still worth thinking about. Some trimmers come bundled with convenient accessories like charging bases, extra trimmer heads, and even nose hair trimmer attachments. Even a simple carry case can be a handy addition for taking it away with you on your travels.

There’s definitely such a thing as too many attachments though, so if you don’t fancy having to fiddle between heaps of heads and guards, opt for an all in one device that lets you quickly alter the cutting length.

Charging

The charge time is another thing worth keeping an eye out for. After all, you don’t want to risk being left with half-trimmed balls moments before a Netflix and chill session. A speedy charge-up time or even a quick-charge feature can be handy when you’re short for time but long on hair.
