The 7 Best Pubic Hair Trimmers in 2025, Tested by Grooming Editors

When it comes to pubic hair trimming, it’s all about balancing risk versus results. When you’re trimming or shaving delicate skin below the belt, you need to be careful, and this trimmer helps minimize risk. Specifically designed for your groin area, the blades are more closely spaced to help prevent snags, and the attachments help protect your skin from direct contact with the razor.

Testing Notes: This trimmer makes the case for using tools specifically designed for the area you’re grooming. I found in my testing that its blades are more closely placed than your traditional trimmer to help prevent skin from being caught between them. They actually make a difference when trimming your delicate nether regions.

All the features packed into this trimmer make the experience of trimming your groin as easy as possible and minimize cut risk, while the skin-protecting attachment does a great job of providing further distance between your skin and the blade. The one thing to note about this trimmer, however, is that if you prefer a clean shave, this will not deliver it by itself.

While it will trim very close, even with the attachment, it’s not going to give you a smooth, clean finish. You may want to use this trimmer to trim down the carpet first before moving in with a traditional razor. Also, if you’re hoping to trim other parts of your body, like your head or face (which I wouldn’t recommend for sanitary reasons), you may not find this trimmer powerful enough for the thicker hair that’s found in those locations.

Honestly, is there something the Philips OneBlade can’t do? Since its launch, this trimmer and shaver has become an iconic grooming essential, and with good reason. It’s incredibly easy to use, hardly ever nicks or cuts skin, and can shave and trim with equally good results. This version even comes with more length attachments that allow you to get your ideal manscaping results with ease.

Testing Notes: In all of my trimmer and shaver testing, no matter what kind, the Philips OneBlade stands out among the pack because it’s just so darn easy to use. Unlike your typical trimmers, the innovative head is shaped like a razor and can cut hair in both directions, making it foolproof.

There is also something about the razor, even when used without any attachments, that hardly ever cuts skin, even when you’re using it on your delicate areas below the belt. Since it’s designed for body grooming, the OneBlade features more attachments than the original, but you still won’t be able to leave hair super long.

It’s best for people who like a close trim or a shave. The small size and light weight make it easy to take with you wherever you go, and I had no issue with the battery life, even though it’s not quite as long as some others on this list. I also appreciate that it comes with a second blade, so you can easily switch them when you use this on your face (you don’t want to use the same blade on your face and body because of the possibility of cross-contamination).

This trimmer is chock-full of cool features that are the sort of thing you didn’t know you needed until you have them, like a built-in LED light for seamless groinal navigation, a travel lock to avoid slicing through clothes or other products in your Dopp kit, and a nifty low-battery light to let you know it’s time to recharge before diving into a trim. This trimmer is built for below-the-belt grooming but works great on other body parts too. It trims quickly and efficiently, no matter where you use it. The 5.0 is also fully waterproof and armed with a protective outer guard above the blades to minimize the risk of nicks or cuts.

Testing Notes: In my testing, I found a lot to love about the newest version of the Lawn Mower. Compared to previous models, it seems to cut a little bit easier and more efficiently, and with less snagging. The blade guard really does help in this department, though I did experience a few nicks when trying to trim too quickly (never a good idea when dealing with the groin, to be honest).

I don’t recommend using it without the guard, as the blades can be a little harsh on bare skin. However, a natural side effect of this is that you won’t ever get a completely bald shave with this device. Still, it’s surprisingly lightweight, and the added features like the built-in light make the experience of groin trimming as pleasant as it can be. It also corrected one of the more annoying issues with previous models by adding a travel lock on its power button that requires more effort to activate.

Unlike previous models, the 5.0 does not include a charging dock; however, it is fully equipped with USB-C charging capabilities, which I much prefer to the dock. I’d argue that every electric device should be required to use this much more universal charger. It saves on space by limiting the amount of wires you need laying around, and is far more convenient to replace if you ever lose the included cord.

Meridian’s body trimmer helps prevent irritation, tugging, and nicks with its high-precision ceramic blades. Slicing your skin when manscaping, especially if you’re new to it, can produce serious panic, which is why Meridian went with ceramic blades. In comparison to steel or plastic, ceramic blades stay sharper longer, generate less heat, and glide smoothly across sensitive skin.

This makes Meridian’s trimmer ideal for beginners or anyone nervous about trimming sensitive areas. Plus, it’s waterproof and easy to use. There aren’t any complicated settings or tech involved, and just two guards to choose from. For beginners, this is perfect. It limits any learning curve beyond getting over the initial hump of anxiety for where you’re taking a blade.

Testing Notes: Meridian highlights two key benefits of its pubic trimmer: safety and speed—even claiming you can finish a full job in under 60 seconds. While I can confirm it’s powerful enough to mow through hair fast, no one should approach grooming with that expectation. Rushing, especially on sensitive areas, is a quick way to end up with nicks and cuts.

In terms of safety, I found this trimmer rarely—if ever—caused cuts or irritation. However, that safety seems to come at the cost of precision. I often had to go over the same spot multiple times to get a close shave. While the ceramic blades boost protection, they just don’t shave as closely as stainless steel.

Braun built this trimmer to power through all kinds of hair, no matter the length or location. With adjustable settings offering up to 40 lengths, it trims nose hairs just as easily as it delivers a crew cut. Its powerful motor and precision make it a top choice for anyone with thick body hair or an untamed look down below, where other trimmers often fall short.

Testing Notes: I love the wide-ranging length options the Braun All-In-One Series 9 offers that allow for true head-to-toe grooming. The adjustable length dial particularly makes transitioning from one part of your body to another seamless and quick for those in a hurry. Now, I wouldn’t recommend using the same trimmer for your face and body, but this device certainly has the agility and horsepower to handle all areas smoothly.

I also dig how sleek the charging dock is and, crucially, how little space it takes up on the bathroom counter. That being said, while Braun boasts about the Series 9’s 180-minute charging runtime, my testing found it’s in the 120-minute range. Still an impressive burst from one charge, but not quite 180 minutes.

Like the trimmer from the same Gillette collection, this cartridge razor targets the pubic area to deliver a smoother, more comfortable shave. It features two lubricating strips, five tightly-spaced blades that help prevent nicks, and a pivoting head that glides with your body’s contours to reach tricky spots.

Testing Notes: In my testing, even using a trimmer on the lowest setting didn’t deliver the clean-shave finish you might want for a completely hairless look—by design, trimmers avoid this to protect delicate pubic skin. If you’re aiming for a full shave, however, your best approach is to trim the hair close first, then finish with a razor and shaving cream. This cartridge razor includes thoughtful features that convinced me it was built specifically for pubic shaving, not just adapted from a facial razor.

Its five tightly spaced blades help prevent skin from slipping between them, and the pivoting head glides easily along the contours of your legs and groin. According to the brand, this design reduces the number of passes needed. That may be true, but I still had to go over some areas a few times to get the smooth results I wanted.

Using a disposable razor for pubic shaving is great because it minimizes the risk of cross-contamination, and you ensure that your blades are always sharp and ready to cut. This disposable razor has five gentle blades that, while not specifically designed for the groin, are designed for the most sensitive skin, making it perfect for the area.

Testing Notes: Conventional wisdom says that using fewer blades is ideal for shaving the pubic area, as razors with multiple blades often increase the risk of irritation, razor bumps, and ingrown hairs. These issues tend to arise when the blades cut hair beneath the skin’s surface, creating friction and complicating regrowth. In contrast, a single- or double-blade razor trims hair cleanly at the surface, reducing skin damage and delivering a smoother, gentler shave. But I found the BIC Flex 5 Sensitive razor to be the best of both worlds. Covering the ground of a five-blade razor with the softness of a one-blade.

Not only did it speed up the admittedly long process of pubic shaving, but it did so without destroying my most delicate skin. The only trade-off here is that this razor doesn’t get quite as close as other, less-gentle blades. Still, it gets much closer than the trimmers on this list, and nearly as close as the Gillette Intimate Razor. Besides, going entirely bald down here is rarely a goal of mine, so I saw this as a positive.

How to Trim Your Pubic Hair

1. First and foremost, make sure you have ample time and are not rushed. This is not something you want to speed through.
2. Position yourself in front of a mirror with good lighting to make sure you have good visibility for all the crevices.
3. Grab your trimmer and pick your desired length. If you plan to fully shave your pubic hair, set the length long enough to shave easily but not too long—about a couple of days’ worth of stubble. If you’re trimming, start with a longer setting than you want at first; you can always trim it shorter later.
4. Apply baby powder on your pubic area while it’s dry to help soak up extra moisture and plump up the hair.
5. With short, gentle strokes, use the trimmer to cut the hair. Pubic hair grows in a variety of directions, so you’ll want to go slow and possibly go over the same areas a few times. For your scrotum and shaft, go extra slow and stretch the skin to flatten it and make it easier to trim. If you’re trimming your buttcheeks, crack, or perineum, you may want to place a hand mirror on the floor to help see where you’re trimming. You can also place one leg on a tub or toilet to make the area easier to see.
6. If you’re happy with the trim job, then you’re done! Hop in the shower to wash off.
7. If you’re going to shave completely, once you’re out of the shower, apply a pre-shave oil and shaving cream to the areas you’re going to shave. The key here is not to be stingy with the cream.
8. When you’re taking a razor to your nether regions, you’ll want to be extra careful. Shave with the grain of the hair in short, slow strokes. Do not—I repeat—do not rush. You’ll want to use the same stretching technique on your scrotum and shaft as you did while trimming, and the mirror is ideal if you’re taking the razor around back.
9. Make sure to rinse the razor frequently to avoid clogs and reapply shaving cream as needed.
10. Once you’re done, hop back in the shower to rinse everything away.
11. Apply a moisturizer or body oil to the area to help keep it protected. You may also want to apply a moisturizer or anti-chafe product regularly (like at least once a day) to help reduce friction, which can cause irritation on shaved skin, especially below the belt.

Why Does Pubic Hair Grow So Quickly?

Maybe you’re a regular manscaper, or perhaps you just took the plunge into trimming out your nether regions. Regardless, one truth holds true: As soon as you take off the hair, it blooms right back again.

Sure, it might seem that your pubic hair is on a steroid-fueled regrowth. But that’s actually something of an optic illusion, says Dr. Alexes Hazen, MD, a reconstructive and cosmetic plastic surgeon at NYU Langone Health.

People who trim or shave their pubic hair often believe it grows faster than the hair on their head, but that’s a misconception, she says. We merely notice hair growth more, and its speed, when it’s shorter.

With pubic hair—and other body hair—the entire process takes about 30 to 44 days, Dr. Hazen says. That means the same pubes that started to grow will shed in about a month to a month and a half.
