The Best Body Hair Trimmers Let You Manscape With Ease

That V-shaped angled head also makes it easy to navigate nooks and crannies, like the under-butt and the sides of your armpits. (Like we’ve said, the best way to trim armpit hair is to cut off whatever sticks out when your arms are down.)

The hardest part of using the Panasonic Body Groomer is making sure you don’t cut too much off, because this thoughtfully designed wand can magically mow away hair without much thought or physical strain. (Seriously, once you master the behind-the-back glide across with this one, it’s over for the other devices.)

Two attachment guards make sure you’re not free-handing things when you want to leave some length: larger guard that goes up to 12mm (you’re probably using scissors for anything longer), and a mini buffer designed to protect loose skin (you can imagine where) from the kind of nicks and cuts that can come from a bare blade. It’s also handy for a quick facial hair or neckline cleanup, since the bare blade can leave one or two momentary teeth marks on sensitive areas like the neck. Because neck hair is body hair, too.

Best Manscaping Trimmer for Men: Wahl Manscaper Black Ops

Why we like it: Any time there’s a blade this close to your important bits, there’s a degree of trust involved. So it’s reassuring that Wahl has been a household name for over a hundred years. I’ve always been a fan of the quality of Wahl products, and our testing revealed the Wahl Manscaper Black Ops to be a consistent and dependable trimmer, equipped to handle all manner of manscaping.

Right out of the box, the Black Ops inspires confidence with its well-weighted, stainless-steel build—wrapped in a grippy rubber handle to eliminate any chance of a slip. While it may sound like something you’d download for your PS5, the Manscaper Black Ops isn’t playing any games when it comes to getting the job done. The trimmer arrives with eight guards ranging from 1.5–13 millimeters, as well as an adjustable guide comb to give you more options for your hair down there. And, like its amphibious namesake, the Manscaper Black Ops is fully waterproof.

Best Travel Trimmer for Men: Manscaped Lawn Mower 5.0 Ultra

Why we like it: While you might be able to get away with leaving your trimmer at home for a weekend by the shore, things have a way of unraveling fast over longer trips and vacations. For extended stays, you’ll want to pack a handy grooming companion to keep you tuned up from head to toe. The Lawn Mower 5.0 Ultra is designed to cross state lines and beyond: from the handy travel lock to keep the trimmer from powering on in your carry-on to the high-quality travel case to keep its attachments and charging cable organized.

The unique design of two adjustable trimming guards allows each to be used to achieve three different lengths, which makes for easy transitioning and also saves space in the carry case. In our testing, the trimmer performed with reassuring power and accuracy. While 60 minutes is not the longest battery life, the trimmer’s constant RPM motor ensures the blade won’t slow down as battery levels dip. In any case, when it is time to charge, the Lawn Mower 5.0 Ultra supports USB-C and wireless charging.

Best Value Body Hair Trimmer for Men: Remington All-in-One Groomer

Why we like it: If you’re ballin’ on a budget, Remington’s All-in-One Groomer is a capable, familiar trimmer that shouldn’t set off any fraud alerts on your credit card. Out of the box, this lightweight grooming tool is comfortable to hold, and the blade head twists into place with a satisfying click. The trimmer’s three fixed guards offer a standard spread of lengths, ranging from 3–9mm; and, for anything in between or beyond, the adjustable comb guard unlocks 10 additional length settings between 2–20mm. We were particularly impressed by the adjustable guard, which proved to be a handy tool for safely fine-tuning short to medium-length body hair with confidence. With additional attachments including a nose and ear trimmer, as well as a refined detail trimmer, the All-in-One Groomer lives up to its name, providing full-body coverage at an affordable price.

Best Body Shaver for Men: Philips Norelco Bodygroom Series 5000

Why we like it: I’d consider this the very close runner-up to the Panasonic Body Groomer above, with the differentiator being that it’s not as good as a straight-up trimmer—the central task when manscaping—but it does bring a Swiss Army skillset. To wit: the head is both a guarded trimmer (though with only three more lengths: 3mm, 5mm, and 7mm) and a foil shaver in one, and you can attach the over-the-back handle attachment for a radically easier time eradicating your sasquatch situation.

Back to the Bodygroom’s unique dual-mode trimming head: two rows of trimming teeth clip longer hairs while the foil shaver at the center mows over the stubble. If you want a smooth finish on your chest, shoulders, groin, or anywhere else without the risk of in-growns and skin irritation that can come with razors, the Philips Norelco is the hybrid of your hair-free dreams. Plus, I like the angled trimming guards, too—they make it easy to cradle the skin no matter what angle you’re mowing.

The Panasonic’s genius blade design makes it a better body hair trimmer, but for a full-body smoothness, the Philips Norelco Bodygroom Series 5000 has the edge.

Best Chest Hair Trimmer for Men: Happy Nuts Lumberjack Electric Hair Trimmer

Why we like it: Happy Nuts is an aptly-named personal care brand with products that range from anti-chafe lotions to, well, the Lumberjack—a body hair trimmer that’s priced nice and does the job well if you don’t need to do too much. Its bare blade will shave hair down to the industry-standard half millimeter, while two guard attachments let you manage length fairly easily (plus a completely functional and fine nose hair trimmer). That makes the Lumberjack a well-priced tuner-upper for anyone whose sole manscaping needs are the chest and pubes.

I keep it in the drawer for those quick-hit cleanups, though I’ve also used it to take my chest hair down considerably for a beach weekend. The two accessory guards (1-5mm and 7-11mm) are a bit fiddly, but the longer one let me cut my chest hair to 7mm—short, but not stubbly—with no pulling or pain. The Lumberjack is also fully waterproof; I wouldn’t suggest shaving your pubes in the shower, but it’s nice to just rinse the trimmer under the faucet and move on.

Best Back-Hair Trimmer for Men: Mangroomer Intellimax Pro Back Shaver

Why we like it: Shaving your own back is a time-honored chore for the hairiest among us, and the Mangroomer Intellimax Pro brings a home-inventor level of crazy brilliance to a job that otherwise requires extreme contortions. You just unfold it, power it on, drop it over the first shoulder, and get to mowing. The trimming head doesn’t bite or leave marks, but will take hair down to the normal .5mm, while the foil-head shaver attachment will get you smooth-skinned (for maybe a day or two). You can even adjust the length of the Mangroomer’s handle for taller torsos or to get better angles on tricky spots.
