Best Budget Body Groomer
Remington All Access Men’s Bodygroomer
First things first: if you’re in the market for any sort of grooming product right now, you might have to do some digging. Most models are sold out across the board and tracking down the one you’re looking for via a somewhat reputable retailer can be a hassle. When it comes to buying a body groomer, keep an eye out for earlier versions of the model you’re interested in —you’ll be way more likely to find one in stock, and they tend to have almost all of the same features as their newer counterparts. Case in point: Remington’s since released sleeker updates of this model, but almost all are sold out and this one more than does the trick.

Best Body Groomer For Hard To Reach Areas
Panasonic Electric Body Groomer
Panasonic’s signature body groomer comes with three angled heads so you can more easily maneuver around hard-to-reach areas of your body, including certain regions that’d be otherwise nearly impossible to shave evenly. Plus, its sure grip means it’ll be hard to slip up when you’re handling anything even remotely close to your private parts, so you can shave with a steady hand (and a regular heartbeat).

Best Wet/Dry Body Trimmer

Best Wet/Dry Body Trimmer
Wahl Manscaper Body Groomer
Pros
- Easy to use rotary dial
- Innovative wraparound safety guard
- 20 different cutting lengths
Cons
- Cutting may take multiple passes when guard is on
The features of this new body trimmer read like a checklist of everything you want from your ideal groomer. It’s completely waterproof so you can use it in the shower (goodbye messy cleanup), the blades are specially designed for, shall we say, sensitive skin and cut through even coarse hair with ease, the wraparound safety guard protects your skin from nicks and cuts, and it boasts 100 minutes of run time on a single charge. But the most innovative thing about this groomer is the length dial, which is able to adjust the blades to 20 different lengths, which means you get way more length options than you do with any other trimmer on this list and can go from short to long (and anywhere in between) without stopping to switch guards.
Attachments | None |

Wet/Dry | Both |
Battery Life | 100 minutes |
Features | Rotary dial adjustments, waterproof, travel lock, detachable blades |
Top Review | “From looks to functionality this trimmer meets all of your expectations! It has great cutting power and battery life. It also is made very well and will keep on chugging through thick hair all the way down to rough stumble! The fact that it has only one attachment is a plus in this case as you can just twist a dial to get it to cut at whatever length you prefer.” |

Pros
- Wireless charging dock
- Replaceable blades for multiple areas
- LED spotlight
Cons
- Some users say it nicks skin easily
If you’ve seen Manscaped’s advertisements anywhere online and are feeling wary, worry not: The brand is more than its tongue-in-cheek marketing statements. Its Lawn Mover 3.0 model, while still cheekily named, might actually represent what the brand refers to as the next frontier in below-the-waist trimming. It’s specifically engineered to protect you from any potential fuckups when you’re at your most exposed, and comes complete with adjustable guide combs that can handle any amount of hair, no matter how coarse.

The trimmer itself is well-designed and lightweight enough to hold in your hand and trim everything you need without your wrist or grip getting tired.

Best Groomer For Groin Area
Philips Norelco OneBlade Intimate Body Groomer & Trimmer
Best Groomer For Groin Area
Philips Norelco OneBlade Intimate Body Groomer & Trimmer
We’ve already established that we’re fans of the OneBlade, but there is a catch: you shouldn’t use the same trimmer on your face as you do on your body, especially not your groin (it’s bacterial cross-contamination just waiting to happen). That’s reason enough to switch to this one, which is specially designed for use on sensitive areas like your groin and armpits. The same OneBlade dual-directional blade we all love is there, but updated with a SkinProtect cover to prevent nicks and cuts and it also comes with a 3mm length guard in case you want a little extra length.

How Safe Are Body Groomers?
Most body groomers are specifically designed to use on your body, which means there usually are safeguards in place for sensitive areas. Typically, the blades themselves will have some sort of protection against nicks and cuts, especially if the groomer is designed to be used on your groin, balls, and other areas that you definitely don’t want to injure. Some will also feature shaver heads that are designed for the body as well.
That said, there is always some risk involved because no human is perfect. If you do cut yourself in a sensitive area, makes sure to clean and dress the cut quickly to avoid infection. Pro tip: If you’re trying to get a clean shave, trim the hair down to the lowest setting first before shaving, to avoid longer hairs getting caught in the blades (which can lead to pulling and nicks).
Can You Use the Same Trimmer on Your Face and Body?
You can, but it’s not recommended. Unless you clean the blade very well between uses, you run the risk of moving bacteria from one area to the other, particularly if you’re trimming or shaving an area like your groin where bacteria can grow easily (it’s the moisture). A good rule of thumb is to have one trimmer or razor for your face and another for other areas of your body.
Can You Trim in the Shower?
Many guys like to trim or shave their body hair in the shower because it makes cleanup easier, and many groomers these days are designed to be used in both wet and dry settings. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with grooming in the shower, but keep in mind that it tends to be harder to cut hair when it’s soaking wet. We recommend doing it dry, before getting in the shower, and applying a bit of baby powder to the area first to soak up any excess moisture on the skin. It also helps plump up hair to make it easier and faster to cut.
