How often do you shave down there? Many men are realizing the benefits of shaving their pubic hair. For starters, the ladies seem to love it. It is also healthy as an overgrown bush can hide a lot of germs.
Shaving pubic hair is not similar to shaving your face. The nether region is much more sensitive, and if you are not careful you may cause painful and embarrassing accidents. The very thought of passing a razor over the nether region is cringe worthy. This is why you will need a safe and efficient pubic hair trimmer. Here is a guide to some of the best pubic hair trimmers of 2020.

Key Features
- Trimmer and Shaving Blades
You do not need a separate shaving blade as this trimmer comes with its very own shaver on the side – there is a shaver on one side and a trimmer on the other. The handle is also double-sided, so all you need to do to switch from trimmer to shaver is flip it. Both the shaver and trimmer are designed for efficacy and safety.  Â
- Foil Design
You don’t need to be an acrobat to get a clean shave using the Philips Norelco BG2040. Its head is designed to go with the body’s contours so that you reach every fold with ease. The foil design also helps keep a safe distance between the blades and your sensitive skin so that you don’t end up with painful cuts, bruises, and irritations. Â
- Adjustable Shaving Lengths
The shaver is designed for a clean shave so that your skin remains silky smooth. For those who fancy a small bush, however, the trimmer gives you five choices when it comes to size. It is adjustable to 5 lengths with sizes ranging from 1/8 inches to 11/25 inches.
The adjustment mechanism is also conveniently simple. You don’t need a set of attachments on hand; simply slide the guard to your preferred adjustment and get trimming.
- Ergonomic Design
The overall design of this trimmer is ergonomic for ease of use. It is easy to hold in all positions so no matter how much you contort your body. It is also non-slip for when you are using in wet conditions. Combined with the foil design and floating head, this design makes it incredibly easy to use in all situations. Â
- Wet and Dry Use
It is recommended to use foam or gel in the shower when using the shaver as this prevents cuts, burns, and irritation. However, the trimmer can be used in both wet and dry conditions. The trimmer is water-proof and you don’t have to worry about it rusting or developing any electrical complications.
- Long-Lasting Battery
Charging this trimmer for one hour will give you about 50 minutes worth of power, which is more than enough to shave your pubic area. The long-lasting battery means that you don’t have to recharge this trimmer whenever you need a shave. It also makes the trimmer portable, so you can pack it along with other common grooming accessories.
However, the manufacturer recommends that you charge the trimmer for 24 hours straight after unwrapping it – failure to do so can compromise the battery.

Pubic Trimmer Buying Guide
Every pubic hair trimmer you come across will market itself as the best. However, the truth is that some trimmers are better than others. It is the features that determine just how good a trimmer is; and how well it will work for you. Here is a list of the most important features to consider when buying a pubic hair trimmer:
- Skin Sensitivity
The most important thing to consider is your skin’s wellbeing. A pubic hair trimmer should help keep you smart and knit, not leave you with cuts and bruises. And, considering just how sensitive the pubic region is, cuts and bruises can be excruciatingly painful and embarrassing. As such, you need to buy a trimmer that has the necessary safeguards to protect your skin. That said, you also need to be careful how you shave to avoid hurting yourself.
- Ease and Comfort
Shaving pubic hair can be a daunting task. For starters, the skin is sensitive. Additionally, there are narrow contours that may be hard to reach. As such, you need a trimmer with an ergonomic design.
An ergonomic trimmer should ideally have a floating head that will align itself with the contours on your body for easy access. It should also be easy to hold in a variety of angles as you may need to adopt different poses to get the job done.
- Precision
Simply trimming your pubic hair short is not enough. Your bush should also be neat and clean. The outlines should be even and the hairs on level. This is why a razor is not enough – you need a trimmer that can offer precision.
Precision is determined by the blades and trimmers. For starters, the blades should be sharp and precise – remember to take into consideration safeguards for your skin. The trimmers should also have narrow gaps between the blades for a close shave. It also helps if you can adjust the length of shaves as some prefer a clean shave while others like to leave some hair. Other accessories such as combs also come in handy. Finally, it takes a sturdy hand to achieve precision.
- Wet/Dry Technology
Some men prefer it dry and others wet. Nevertheless, the ideal pubic trimmer should be able to function in both situations. This is because it is at times absolutely necessary to apply gel or water when shaving – failure to do so can result in cuts and bruises. In most cases men trim their pubic hair in the shower as it is quicker and cleaner that way. As such, ensure that the trimmer you settle for is waterproof.
- Corded or Cordless
All hair trimmers need power to function, and while some get it straight from the socket others store the power themselves. Each type has its advantages and shortcomings.
Corded hair trimmers pack a lot of power as they utilize the full energy of electricity. This comes in handy for people with tough hairs. However, the fact that you need to have the trimmer plugged in to use it means that you cannot carry it around with you – it essentially tethers you to one place, which may be inconvenient when travelling.
Cordless trimmers, on the other hand, are not as powerful as the former. They are powered by batteries, and batteries can store only limited power – nevertheless, it is sufficient to get the job done in most cases. However, cordless trimmers offer the convenience of portability – just charge it and you can carry it with you anywhere. In this case, you need to go for a trimmer with a high-capacity battery that can retain enough power to serve you for at least one hour. It would also help if the battery was detachable as trimmers with built-in batteries have limited longevity – they only last as long as the battery. Â
- Universal Use
Pubic hair trimmers are specially designed to work on the sensitive groin area. However, some are also capable shaving more than just pubic hair. You need to shave your beard and other hairs around the body, and it would be great (and cheap as well as convenient) if one trimmer could do it all. As such, go for a trimmer with universal application; it may cost more than a dedicated pubic hair trimmer but it will save you more money in the long run.
