The top 5 at a glance
A body groomer is a trimmer made for the chest, back, underarms and below the belt, where the skin is thinner and looser than on the face: the blade tips are rounded or guarded and the combs leave an even length rather than a crisp edge. Some only trim, down to a short stubble; others add a foil head or a shaving blade for a smoother finish.
All five here are cordless and waterproof, so they can be used in the shower and rinsed clean under the faucet, and most have an LED light for the awkward spots. Whichever it is, go slowly and hold the skin taut with the other hand; MANSCAPED says even its guarded blade can’t rule out nicks.
What matters
- Combs: more lengths give more choice, from chest to groin.
- Run time, and how it charges: stand, dock, cable or wall plug.
- Replacement blades or foils, and how often the maker suggests them.
#1PRITECH Body Hair Trimmer with Charging Stand (PR-3233)
$10–$20
A ceramic blade with a chamfered edge where it meets the skin, three combs that give five lengths from 1.5mm to 12mm, and a built-in LED light for seeing what’s being trimmed. It charges upright on its own stand with the blades facing up, so they dry off between uses.
What owners say: Owners find it gentle in delicate spots like the underarms, with no pinching or irritation, and say it runs smoothly on a battery that lasts a good while; a few had theirs stop working after a couple of months.
A closer look: Start with the longest comb and work down to the length that looks right, moving against the hair on the chest and more gently with it lower down. The small screen shows the battery level and charging status, and a five-second press on the lock button keeps it from switching on in a bag.

- Blades dry upright on stand
- Battery screen
- Travel lock

#2Philips Norelco OneBlade 360 Face + Body
$30–$50
One handle for the face and the body: a 360 blade that flexes over contours, an adjustable comb from 1 to 5mm for stubble, and a second blade kept for the body, with a 3mm comb and a skin guard for sensitive areas. It shaves as well as trims, wet or dry, with or without foam.
What owners say: Owners describe it as well made and easy to live with, comfortable on the skin and long-lasting on a charge; how close it shaves and how well the attachments hold up are where opinions part.
A closer look: Keep the face blade for stubble and the body blade for below the neck, clicking on the skin guard for the groin and underarms. Each blade rinses clean under the faucet, and Philips suggests a fresh one about every four months; a full charge over USB takes about four hours.
- Separate face and body blades
- Blade flexes over contours
- Skin guard for sensitive areas
- Shaves with or without foam
- New blade every 4 months

#3Suttik Body and Groin Trimmer (8119)
$10–$20
Up to 90 minutes from a 1.5-hour USB-C charge, a rounded R-shaped ceramic blade, an LED light built in and a screen that shows the charge left. It’s a small, grippy trimmer that rides in a toiletry bag with its travel lock on.
What owners say: Easy to use and fairly priced, owners say, with a battery that impresses and a display that shows what’s left; they’re split on how gentle it is, and some don’t find it soft enough for the most sensitive areas.
A closer look: Hold the skin flat and let the blade glide rather than pressing, taking extra care in the most sensitive areas. No length combs come with it, so it suits keeping hair short, down to about 1mm, rather than leaving some length, and the IPX7 body can go in the shower and rinse clean right after.
- Rounded R-shaped ceramic blade
- 7,200 RPM motor
- Battery screen
- Travel lock
Best for: Keeping body hair very short
- Run time
- 90 min

#4MANSCAPED The Lawn Mower 3.0 Plus
$50–$75
MANSCAPED’s groin trimmer is made for below the belt but works on the chest and back too: a rounded ceramic SkinSafe blade with a built-in guard, two adjustable combs from 2mm to 12mm, an LED light and a motor that holds its speed as the battery runs down. The blade head can be replaced, so a spare can be kept for the body.
Heads up: MANSCAPED says its SkinSafe blade helps reduce nicks but can’t guarantee against them, so go slowly and keep the skin taut.
A closer look: Lay the flat side of the blade against the skin and move against the direction of growth, as MANSCAPED advises, going slowly over loose skin. Unlike the two Philips Norelcos, it comes with a wall adapter as well as the USB-C cable, and the IPX7 rating covers rinsing under the faucet or a session in the shower.
- Ceramic blade, built-in guard
- Replaceable blade head
- Speed holds as battery drains
- 2-year limited warranty
Best for: Groin first, then the body
- Run time
- 60 min
- Wet and dry
- IPX7
- Foil shaver head
- No
- Combs
- 2 (2–12mm)
- Light

- USB-C, adapter included
#5Philips Norelco Body Groomer 5000 (BG5490/50)
$30–$50
Two heads that click on and off: a trimmer with rounded tips for length, and a foil shaver with Philips’ Triple Skin Protect system (pearl tips, a hypoallergenic foil and a skin guard) for a close finish. It runs up to 100 minutes on a charge, and the trimmer blades sharpen themselves.
What owners say: No nicks or cuts and a smooth finish, owners say, from a groomer that’s easy to handle; they’re divided on how close the foil gets, how long it lasts and how quickly it gets through thick hair.
Heads up: There’s no wall plug in the box, only a USB-A cable, so charge it from a phone charger or a laptop.
A closer look: Philips suggests trimming on dry hair before the shower, then swapping to the foil head wherever a smooth feel is wanted. A five-minute quick charge rescues it when the battery runs out mid-trim, and the foil should be replaced about once a year (part BG2010/40).
- Self-sharpening, no oil needed
- Rounded-tip trimmer
- Click-on trimmer and foil heads
- Replace the foil yearly
- Up to 5-year warranty
Best for: Shaving smooth after a trim
- Run time
- 100 min
- Wet and dry
- Showerproof
- Foil shaver head
- Triple Skin Protect foil
- Combs
- 3 (1–7mm, plus intimate)
- Light
- No
- Charging
- USB-A cable, no plug
