How we test the best ball trimmers
We’re no stranger to attending to our groin hair, and we hate the idea of shaver nicks and ingrown hair on sensitive skin as much as the next person. the products below are a combination of ones we’ve personally used ourselves, as well as a selection based on user reviews and specs. Key specs include functionality, rechargeable batteries, ease of clean up, ergonomic design, USB charging, various length settings on offer, and more. Rest assured that our top picks will leave your prized jewels in good hands.
Electric razor vs ball trimmers
If you’re reading this article, you’ve probably already removed regular razors from the likes of Gillette from contention. Naked blades and hard-to-reach areas do not make for a good delicate hair removal combo. But why not use your existing electric shaver, electric trimmer, or foil shaver for your pubic area too? Well, there’s nothing stopping you, of course. But for one thing, it’s probably not the most hygienic method, as you’ll be using the same grooming kit on both your face and groin (or potentially elsewhere like armpits). And while most of the devices can get wet for easier cleaning, it still doesn’t sit right with us. Hygiene aside, many of the devices on this list have been specifically designed for sensitive body hair areas, with specially designed stainless steel or ceramic blades, combined with versatile adjustable guards and combs, for a safe, clean shave.
What features should you look for in a ball trimmer?
The best trimmers should tick a number of boxes. They should be cordless as opposed to corded, for a start, as the last thing you need in a delicate situation is a pesky cable getting in the way. With that said, you’ll want to take note of the lithium battery life too, especially if you plan on using the trimmer regularly, as you’ll want a longer run time. The type of charger might also be important, especially if you want the convenience of something like USB charging. Extras like LED lights, cleaning brushes, and guide combs for dialling in different lengths are also nice bonuses to consider. And regardless of how many pubic hairstyles or haircuts you get under your belt each month, you might want to consider using lotion to keep things irritation-free.
