LIKE EVERYTHING else, body grooming trends come and go. Just look at the wild, hairy 1970’s or the Ken doll slick early aughts if you don’t believe me. Right now, we are living in what I would argue is the golden age of body hair. As in, you can do whatever you want with it. You can trim! You can wax! You can let it grow…and grow…and grow! But the reality is that most men do something to their body hair. In fact, our own 2019 survey found that 62% of men do some sort of manscaping (and this survey focused only on below the belt ‘scaping so it’s probably more if you consider the total body). And, for the record, 62% of women said in that same survey that they prefer a man who does some form of hair control down below. Coincidence? I think not.
This isn’t to say that you’re required to manscape, but whether you already do or you’re about to give it a try for the first time, the most important thing in any manscaping journey is the tool you use. Anyone who has shaved even once knows that the risk of cutting and nicking skin is very real—especially when you get down to very sensitive or hard to reach areas. Trimming has its own set of headaches in the form of pulling hairs and not having enough protection between the blade and your skin.

That’s where manscaping tools come in—they’re specifically designed to be gentle on sensitive areas (like your twig and berries) and make the grooming experience way more pleasant. And before you ask why you need another tool for this job, consider this: using the same razor or trimmer on your body as you do on your face could lead to bacterial cross-contamination. Do you really want jock itch on your chin?
