Body hair grooming is much easier when you use a trimmer that is actually designed for the body. Chest, stomach, armpits, legs, back, and groin areas all need a little more care than your regular beard trimmer.

A good body groomer should give you enough control over hair length, protect the skin, work around body curves, and ideally be washable or waterproof.

For 2026, there are several strong options, but they are not all designed for the same job. Some are better for full-body grooming, while others are better for sensitive areas or below-the-waist trimming.

Here are 6 of the best body groomers for men in 2026 based on current product features and recent grooming tests.

1. Philips Norelco Body Groomer 7000

The Philips Norelco Body Groomer 7000 is one of the most complete body grooming options available in 2026.

The newer BG7480/50 model uses a dual-head system, allowing you to trim longer hair and then switch to the foil side when you want a closer finish. Philips also lists a 2D flexing head designed to follow body contours.

One of its biggest advantages is the foldable back attachment. This makes it easier to reach your back without needing another person.

The current model also offers multiple length settings, including an intimate comb and adjustable trimming options. Philips lists up to 120 minutes of runtime and a five-minute quick-charge feature.

Pros & Cons

Pros	Cons
Trim and shave in one device	More expensive than basic trimmers
Excellent full-body versatility	Several attachments to manage
Waterproof	Can be noisy
Long battery life	Newer design differs from older 7000 models
Back attachment included on certain versions	Model numbers vary by market

Best for: Men who want one device for chest, stomach, underarms, back, legs and intimate areas.

2. Panasonic ER-GK80-S

The Panasonic ER-GK80-S takes a different approach from many traditional body groomers.

Its long, narrow body makes it easy to hold and maneuver around areas such as the chest, legs, underarms and groin. The I-shaped design is particularly useful when you need more control over the direction of the trimmer.

Current 2026 testing and grooming guides continue to highlight the ER-GK80 as a strong option for full-body grooming. Men’s Health currently lists the Panasonic Body Groomer GK80 as its best overall body groomer, while other 2026 reviews highlight its ergonomic design and body-specific construction.

Panasonic uses rounded blade edges and a skin-protection design. Depending on the model and market, adjustable trimming can cover approximately 3–12 mm, with a closer cut possible without a comb.

Pros & Cons

Pros	Cons
Excellent ergonomic design	No foil shaving head
Easy to control	Not designed for completely smooth shaving
Good for sensitive body areas	Fewer accessories than some competitors
Wet/dry use	Battery specifications vary by region
Good for full-body trimming	Premium price in some markets

Best for: Men who mainly want controlled body-hair trimming rather than a completely smooth shave.

3. Manscaped Lawn Mower 5.0 Ultra

If your main concern is grooming below the waist, the Manscaped Lawn Mower 5.0 Ultra deserves a place on this list.

The 5.0 Ultra uses interchangeable trimming and foil heads, giving you more flexibility than a basic body trimmer. Current 2026 comparisons list it as a particularly strong option for below-the-belt grooming.

The current model offers adjustable trimming options covering roughly 2–12 mm, depending on the comb being used, and is designed for wet or dry use.

Its compact shape is helpful when working around difficult areas. However, it is more specialized than something like the Panasonic or Philips 7000.

Pros & Cons

Pros	Cons
Excellent for intimate grooming	More specialized
Interchangeable heads	Replacement blades add ongoing cost
Waterproof	Not as versatile as a full grooming kit
Good trimming control	Premium pricing
Compact design	Battery life is shorter than some Philips models

Best for: Men who mainly want a dedicated groin and below-the-waist groomer.

4. Braun Body Groomer Series 7

The Braun Body Groomer Series 7 is another premium option for men who care about skin comfort.

The Series 7 combines a body trimmer with a shaving head and includes features designed to make grooming sensitive areas easier. Current 2026 reviews list features such as SmartLight, skin protection, multiple combs and wet/dry operation.

The SmartLight is useful because body hair can be difficult to see, particularly around darker or awkward areas.

Braun’s body-grooming design is also relatively compact, making it easier to maneuver than some larger all-in-one grooming kits.

Pros & Cons

Pros	Cons
Good skin protection	Availability varies by country
SmartLight helps visibility	Not the cheapest option
Wet/dry operation	Some versions have limited accessories
Compact design	Replacement parts can be expensive
Good for sensitive areas	Less back reach than Philips 7000

Best for: Men who prioritize skin comfort and visibility while grooming sensitive areas.

5. Philips Body Groomer 5000

If you don’t need all the features of the 7000 Series, the Philips Body Groomer 5000 is worth considering.

The current 5000 Series provides a simpler approach to body grooming. Recent 2026 comparisons list the BG5025/42 with three fixed combs around 3, 5 and 7 mm, along with a shaving head for a closer finish. It is also shower-friendly.

It does not provide the same level of adjustment or accessories as the newer 7000, but that can actually be an advantage for someone who wants a straightforward device.

Pros & Cons

Pros	Cons
Easier to use	Fewer length options
Waterproof	Shorter runtime than 7000
Trim and shave capability	Less premium design
Good for chest and body hair	Limited back reach
Usually cheaper than 7000	Fewer advanced features

Best for: Men who want a simple body groomer without paying for premium features.

6. Philips OneBlade Intimate

The Philips OneBlade Intimate is a smaller option designed specifically for sensitive body areas.

Unlike a large full-body groomer, the OneBlade Intimate is focused on controlled trimming in areas where you want a compact device.

Men’s Health currently includes the Philips OneBlade among its body-grooming recommendations for sensitive skin.

Its smaller form factor makes it convenient for travel and for men who don’t want a large grooming device.

The main limitation is that it is not really a replacement for a powerful full-body groomer. If you have a lot of chest, back or leg hair, a dedicated body groomer will be more practical.

Pros & Cons

Pros	Cons
Compact	Not ideal for large body areas
Designed for intimate areas	Less powerful for thick body hair
Easy to handle	Replacement blades are an ongoing cost
Travel-friendly	Not a complete body-grooming kit
Good for detail work	Smaller cutting area

Best for: Men who want a compact tool for sensitive and intimate areas.

How to Choose a Body Groomer in 2026

Before buying, think about where you actually plan to use it.

For full-body grooming

Look for a groomer with adjustable combs, good battery life and a comfortable grip. The Philips Body Groomer 7000 and Panasonic ER-GK80 are particularly suited to this type of routine.

For groin grooming

A dedicated skin-protection system becomes more important. The Manscaped Lawn Mower 5.0 Ultra, Philips 7000 and Braun Body Groomer Series 7 are all designed with sensitive areas in mind.

For sensitive skin

Avoid rushing the trimmer across the skin. Use the appropriate guard and don’t press too hard.

Models with skin-protection features can make the process more comfortable, but no electric groomer can guarantee zero cuts or irritation.

For back hair

A normal trimmer can be difficult to control on your back. The Philips Body Groomer 7000 is particularly interesting because certain current versions include a foldable back attachment.

Body Groomer vs Regular Beard Trimmer

You can technically use a beard trimmer on some body areas, but a body groomer is usually easier for larger and more sensitive areas.

Body groomers generally have designs, guards and cutting systems intended for body contours. Philips, for example, specifically describes its body groomers as suitable for full-body and intimate grooming.

For hygiene, it is also sensible to avoid using the exact same cutting head interchangeably between your face and intimate areas. Recent grooming guidance specifically warns about cross-contamination.

How to Use a Body Groomer Safely

1. Start with a longer guard.
You can always go shorter, but you cannot put the hair back once you’ve cut it.

2. Stretch loose skin carefully.
This is especially important around sensitive areas.

3. Don’t press hard.
Let the blades do the work.

4. Use a guard for longer hair.
Trying to attack very long hair directly with a close-shaving head can cause pulling.

5. Clean the groomer after every session.
Hair and skin debris can build up around the blades.

6. Replace worn blades or foils.
A dull cutting system can pull hair and make grooming less comfortable.

Final Thoughts

The best body groomer depends heavily on your routine.

The Philips Norelco Body Groomer 7000 stands out for its combination of trimming, shaving, body coverage and back-grooming capability. The Panasonic ER-GK80-S is a strong choice if ergonomic body trimming is your main goal.

For dedicated intimate grooming, the Manscaped Lawn Mower 5.0 Ultra is built around that use case, while the Braun Body Groomer Series 7 focuses heavily on comfort and controlled grooming.

The Philips Body Groomer 5000 keeps things simpler, and the Philips OneBlade Intimate makes more sense when you want a compact tool for sensitive areas rather than a complete full-body system.

For most men, the important thing isn’t simply buying the most expensive groomer. It’s choosing one that matches your body areas, preferred hair length, skin sensitivity and desired finish.
