So, you’ve perfected the hair on your head and face, now it’s time to concentrate on the less visible areas of your body.
Once you’ve read our top-class guide to shaving your balls, you’ll want to find the best equipment for doing so. Here’s our list of the 10 best trimmers for your balls.
Before we get into the list, there are a few topics we need to consider when choosing a trimmer for our sensitive areas. There isn’t a one-size-fits-all solution to this, as such a personal area needs, well, a personal choice. Learn how & why shaving is necessary for most guys.
Why do it in the first place?
Some would question the need for shaving at all when it comes to pubic hair, and there are different factors that should inform your decisions in the matter. Some men like to be hairy, while others prefer to be smooth as can be. Your partner might like you a certain way as well, but whether you go long or prefer to keep things close when shaving, it always helps to maintain your look with a handy ball trimmer. The absolute last thing you want is any kind of accident down there, which apart from being painful, can also be dangerous.
Power is of utmost importance when shaving your balls. If your device doesn’t have the power you need then there’s more likely to be pulling, tugging, and an increased chance of ingrown hair, none of which are very pleasant. There are different kinds of body hair trimmers too, whereby some function more like a traditional razor, and others are more like the trimmers your barber might use. Again this is a personal preference to a degree, but while hybrid razors have a certain extra level of capability for detail, there is always the issue of needing to get replacement blades.
When it comes to shaving your pubic hair, we would highly recommend doing so in the shower when your skin and hair are soft, allowing you the best shave possible. For this reason, it is key to have a device that is waterproof or showerproof, and if you’re better suited to wet shaving then this is important as well. The layout of your bathroom should come into consideration too, so bare in mind whether you have a socket nearby and can handle a corded trimmer, and if not then be sure to go cordless!
Electrical device consideration wouldn’t be complete without two of the biggest factors to think about: Battery life and brand recognition. Thankfully, the runtime of batteries these days is consistently high, and you shouldn’t need more than an hour for sculpting your hair down there which most trimmers will offer. If you’re the kind of guy who does the full hair/face/body all in one go, then you might need to consider longer battery life. As you look down the list you’ll notice a variety of brands, most of which we’re sure you’ll recognise. We’ve also included a few lesser-known offerings that still do a great job so remember that while you can take comfort in established big names, there are other fish in the sea to consider when you shave.

Yes, you (we) can! It all comes down to finding the best pubic hair trimmer that has a comfy grip and an ergonomic handle. As long as you’re careful enough, you will avoid any type of skin irritation. Aim for an adjustable guard and preferably some ceramic blades. Once you’re used to holding it and using it the right way/direction, you will complete the shaving mission successfully.
3. Is It Safe To Trim Balls With Trimmer?
If you’re trying to get your balls & penis to look flawless make sure that you’re properly equipped and prepared. For starters, you’re going to need to invest 5-15 minutes (depending on the length of your pubes) + you will need to have a bit of privacy at your home, or at least in your bedroom. You should:
- Wash your private parts with cold/lukewarm water
- Go for some cordless trimmers that have a rechargeable battery for a comfortable and convenient use
- Apply a bit of your favorite shaving cream and shave away
- Don’t rush the process since you don’t want to cut yourself
- Once done wash away with water and tap-dry your skin to avoid irritation
4. Can Beard Trimmers Be Used On Balls?
Just because something can be used on a certain body part it doesn’t mean that it should be used on that body part. Does this make sense? Let’s state it like this; would you ever use your nose trimmer to get close to your balls? This probably sounds unsanitary and maybe even gross to some of you, right? Well, if you have a proper cleaning brush and you plan on investing some time in the grooming and maintenance process you can give it a go with multi-tasking this way. It is a personal preference after all, along with time being of the essence.
5. Who Should Trim Balls & When To Start?
Yet again, this is another question that can be super intimate and personal. Different guys and even women begin this process during different times in their lives/with different age groups. If you like to keep yourself & your balls nice, clean & fresh, you can start the minute they show and begin to grow. For most guys, shaving intimate parts begins around the age of 15-16, but the thickness, density, and length of your pubes can all be hereditary, leaving you with different routes to take.
