The best body groomers have the ability to turn the likes of sasquatch into a squeaky-clean sex-machine. Despite the current trend for hipster-friendly bushy beards, there is less appreciation for backs, sacks and cracks covered in a thick layer of wiry hair. It's a chore that many can't live without, and that's where this fine range of the best body groomers, shavers and best manscaping groomers comes in.
A good men's body groomer doesn't cost a fortune, but like anything in life, if you spend a little extra you get a little bit more. As T3’s resident grooming expert, I’ve found that higher-end models usually offer larger batteries, which means less time spent charging. They also tend to feature electronically adjustable heads and specially designed blades that prioritise comfort – helping to reduce nicks and cuts, especially in sensitive areas. You might also consider one of the best IPL machines if you'd rather zap the hair at the root than cut it off as it breaks cover.
The Wahl Manscaper is our top pick in this list, but if you want your face to match the rest of your head and body (hair-free), you'll need the best electric shaver or best beard trimmer for a totally smooth exterior. Now, on to the best body groomers of 2025!
The top three
The best body groomer overall
For a smooth, consistent body shave, the Wahl Manscaper is tough to beat. It’s well-priced, easy to handle, and comes with adjustable cutting lengths, a lightweight build, and a wraparound safety guard that protects sensitive areas like the groin. That’s why it’s our top pick.
The best affordable option
Simplicity is the Series 3000's greatest asset, as it concentrates on the business of removing hair without getting distracted by fancy features. If a smooth chest, back and man sack is the plan, this is a great facilitator. It's also really affordable, coming in under £50.
The best premium trimmer
With an advanced dual-head system and two interchangeable SkinSafe blades, the Lawn Mower 5.0 Ultra is a versatile manscaper that'll give you the perfect trim. We'll admit it isn't cheap, but if you fancy treating yourself, it's a top-notch choice.

Best body groomers 2025 ranked
The best body groomer overall
The Wahl Manscaper is currently the best body groomer on the market, and there are many reasons why. To begin, it's a budget-friendly body trimmer that still looks and feels tough, with a lightweight build, rubberised grip, and an LED screen showing both the selected cutting length and battery level.
What makes it stand out is the wrap‑around safety guard and ball‑point stainless‑steel blades, specifically designed to minimise nicks when trimming sensitive areas like the groin or underarms. The trimming length adjusts in 0.5 mm increments via a central dial, with generous range for personal preference.
Battery life is also impressive, and you get around 100 minutes of runtime from a full charge, with a 3‑minute quick‑charge boost if you’re in a hurry. It’s fully waterproof and can even be used in the shower, making clean‑up a breeze. Overall, our reviewer calls it a smart, safe and smartly priced pick that's tough to beat – even if it’s not whisper‑quiet
The best affordable body groomer
The Series 3000 Bodygroomer is another neat little device from manscaping pioneer Philips, and it has a lot going for it. Featuring an excellent blade system that manages to deliver an impressively smooth shave, it feels very similar to the range-topping 7000 Series.
This is predominantly down to the clever rotating head design, which features a central foil and additional trimmers located at each end. As a result, the bi-directional trimmers cut longer hairs, which are shaved by the foil for a closer result. The rounded tips and hypoallergenic foil are designed to be safe and comfortable for the underarms, chest and abs, back and shoulders, groin area and legs.
For most, the handle is quite long enough to reach tricky back patches (but see the Series 5000 below, should you need more) and the waterproof design means it is possible to go about your shaving routine in the shower.
You get what you pay for, and admittedly, our reviewer found the comb attachments for keeping hair trimmed to various lengths are way more fiddly and annoying than the 7000 Series' built-in trimmer. Still, Philips is rightly proud of the 3000's build quality and this puppy is guaranteed for two years, with the brand claiming that the blades will never need oiling.
The best premium body groomer
After a successful run of many different grooming products, the Lawn Mower 5.0 Ultra is Manscaped's latest body trimmer, and we are more than impressed. To begin, there are two interchangeable blade heads, removing the need to cut down longer hair first and follow with a trimmer to get a smooth finish. There's also an incredibly handy LED light that highlights any missed spots, which is perfect if a quick, last-minute trim is more your style.
Our reviewer found it was great for tackling most places, including legs, back, chest, armpits and down below. The SkinSafe Foil Blade allowed a really close shave, and the results were more than impressive.
Now, we won't lie, the battery is slightly disappointing. The Lawn Mower 5.0 Ultra is on the pricey side, and there are a number of trimmers that have a longer lasting charge for a much cheaper price. However, there's undeniably premium feel to the Lawn Mower 5.0 Ultra, so if a slightly shorter battery life than normal isn't a problem for you, we couldn't recommend it enough.
The best versatile body groomer
Philips single-bladedly popularised manscaping-specific tools, and its Series 7000 remains one of the most versatile body hair removal tools around. Despite premium features such as having an integrated trimmer at one end, and the close-shaving foil at the other, a full 80 minutes of battery life, and ultra-comfortable hair removing, it also comes in at around £60 / $80 most of the time.
We found that having a beard-like trimmer on one end does make it a bit more fiddly than most when you're holding the very end in order to get to really hard to reach bits such as your back – or your thighs, if you're exceedingly rotund – but that is not a deal breaker, we feel.
The Series 7000 is even quite stylish, as these things go. Please note that various older incarnations of the 7000 are often still to be found on sale. They've all been good products, but we feel this newest one is the best of the lot.
The best hybrid body groomer
Wahl’s multi-groomer doesn’t sport a perfect design, but we found it is able to handle most trimming tasks that you throw at it with ease. Okay, we don't think the RRP is 100% representative of its build quality, but it’s a small price to pay when you can literally groom your entire body with this device in one go. Plus, if it’s on discount when you buy it, then you’re laughing.
Overall, we think the Wahl multi-groomer is a pretty darn good multi-grooming device that we just wish felt a bit more premium in the hand (and came with a much better quality travel pouch!).
The best body groomer for attachments
The Remington ONE Total Body Multi-Groomer impresses right out of the box with its four full-size attachments and 14 combs, offering unmatched versatility for head-to-toe grooming. It includes a premium 38 mm T‑blade for precise beard shaping, a foil shaver for clean-shaven results, a body trimmer tailored for sensitive skin, and a vertical nose/ear/eyebrow trimmer. Whether you're detailing facial hair, tackling chest or body grooming, or maintaining nose and eyebrow lines, this kit has you covered without compromising quality.
Powered by a USB rechargeable battery offering up to 60 minutes of runtime (and a useful 5-minute quick-charge feature), the unit is fully waterproof. Despite some plastic-y build elements, our reviewer thought it's perfect for those who want one tool to replace many. Its clever design, waterproof usability, and vast attachment selection make it a top pick for anyone needing flexible grooming options at home or on the go
The best lightweight body groomer
The Philips OneBlade Intimate is designed specifically for grooming sensitive areas, and we found it fully lives up to that promise. It's incredibly lightweight, and its SkinProtect blade offers a smooth, nick-free shave that’s gentle on delicate skin. The dual-sided blade also allows for trimming in both directions, making it easy to navigate tricky areas without discomfort or awkward angles.
The OneBlade Intimate is also fully waterproof, so you can use it wet or dry, and the lightweight design and easy grip make it ideal for regular use.
Whilst the grooming performance is solid for most users, the OneBlade Intimate isn’t without limits. The 30-minute battery life after an 8-hour charge may be restrictive if you’re tackling larger areas, and it might not be powerful enough for very coarse hair. However, at under £30, it's great value for a tool that delivers comfort, precision and ease.
The best space-saving body groomer
The Panasonic MultiShape is a modular grooming system that combines multiple tools into one sleek, waterproof handle – think beard trimmer, body and hair clipper, foil shaver, nose/ear trimmer, and even an electric toothbrush. It’s designed to reduce clutter and simplify your grooming routine, hence why it's our best space-saving option.
Battery life is impressive, delivering up to 90 minutes of use from a 60-minute charge, and it even offers a 3-minute quick‑charge option which is handy for last-minute touch-ups. You can switch seamlessly between 58 precise cutting lengths, adjustable in 0.5 mm steps, using an easy-to-read dial on the trimmer heads
Despite its versatility, the MultiShape doesn’t match a dedicated razor for ultra-smooth close shaves, especially for fine beard detailing. However, we think it's a strong pick for anyone wanting a high-quality all-in-one grooming kit, especially for long hair, flexible styling, and travel-friendly convenience.
The best flexible body groomer
If you're looking for a cheap and cheerful face and body groomer, the Philips OneBlade 360 is great value for money, and easier and more comfortable to use than ever before. Alongside its other OneBlade siblings, the Philips Oneblade 360 sets itself apart with its detachable blades which now have an innovative 360 design. This new design ensures fewer passes are needed to trim hair, resulting in more comfortable operation.
As a body groomer, the Oneblade 360 has a new 5-in-1 adjustable comb included in its purchase, which gives users a more efficient trim without clogging, even when used on long and thick hair. Its colour won't be for everyone and the blades dull quicker than expected, but the Philips Oneblade 360 is a great option for those who want cheap yet solid results.
How to buy the best body groomer
Consider your grooming commitment
How seriously you take your grooming routine plays a huge role in picking the right body groomer. If you’re just starting out or prefer a low-maintenance approach, a budget-friendly electric shaver might do the trick initially. However, cheaper models often come with trade-offs like blades that dull quickly and batteries that don’t last long after regular use. Investing in a higher-quality groomer can save you frustration down the line, offering sharper blades and longer battery life to keep your routine smooth and hassle-free.
Decide how much hair you want to remove
Think about how much hair you want to take off and how close you want to get to the skin. Basic beard or body trimmers typically trim hair to a certain length, leaving behind neat stubble that’s perfect if you want some texture without going fully bare. On the other hand, some models combine electric trimming with a traditional wet shaving blade, giving you the option of a clean, smooth shave, which is ideal for areas like your chest, underarms, or legs. Check out our advice on beard trimmers vs body groomers for more information.
Water resistance matters
Most people prefer grooming in the shower since it’s convenient and feels more hygienic. Luckily, each of the options in this list are waterproof, but it is important to double check before you get your credit card out. A fully waterproof device lets you trim or shave wet, then rinse the groomer directly under the tap for quick and easy cleaning. If the product isn’t waterproof, you might find it trickier to maintain and less versatile overall, especially if you like to groom on the go or right after your shower.
Other features to consider
Beyond basics, look out for extra features that can improve your experience. Adjustable cutting lengths or multiple attachments can help you customise your look precisely. A cordless design with decent battery life also gives you freedom of movement without worrying about cords or frequent recharging. Some groomers also include special guards or hypoallergenic blades designed to reduce irritation, which is a bonus if you have sensitive skin.
How we test the best body groomers
Our reviewers have put every body groomer on this list through the wringer, so you can trust we’ve picked the best ones worthy of a spot in your bathroom. From the get-go, we test each groomer all over – checking if it leaves just the right amount of stubble or gets you as smooth as a seal pup. We also look at how easy it is to handle, how long the battery lasts, and whether it nails the style you want without any fuss.
Durability is key too, so we judge how sturdy the device feels and if it seems built to last. After our initial testing, we publish a full review with a star rating and a quick summary right here. Sometimes, we keep using the groomer longer-term to see how battery life holds up, whether the blades stay sharp, and how well the motor performs over time. If anything changes, we’ll update our recommendations so you always get the latest scoop.
Best Body Groomer FAQs
Can I use a body groomer on my face?
Absolutely, you can use a body groomer on your face, but it depends on the model. Some body groomers are gentle and precise enough for facial hair, especially around tricky spots like your neckline or jawline. However, they’re usually not as sharp or detailed as dedicated beard trimmers or facial razors.
If you want a clean, close shave or detailed styling, one of the best electric shavers is better, but for quick tidying or trimming stubble, a body groomer can definitely pull its weight.
What’s the difference between a body groomer and a trimmer?
A body groomer is designed specifically for larger areas like your chest, back, and legs. It usually has wider blades, a more powerful motor, and features to handle coarser hair and sensitive skin.
A trimmer is typically smaller and made for precision work on your beard, moustache or hairline. Basically, trimmers focus on detail, whilst body groomers cover more ground and keep things comfortable on delicate spots. Take a look at beard trimmers vs body groomers for more information.
How do I use a body groomer?
Using a body groomer is pretty straightforward. Start by cleaning and drying the area you want to groom, and if your groomer is waterproof, you can use it wet or dry.
Choose the right attachment or guard for the hair length you want, then gently run the groomer against the direction of hair growth, taking your time to avoid nicks or missed spots. After you’re done, clean the blades under water if waterproof, or brush off any hair. Voila – smooth and tidy!
