As any freshman boy in high school can tell you, rubbing aftershave on your balls is an option—it’s just not a good one.

Sheer quantity aside, we think Meridian is the product winner due to the specialization and quality of their products. Manscaped makes some great products, but the number of things they offer can be overwhelming, especially if you’re new to the down-there grooming game.Now let’s talk about the material of The Trimmer Plus.

Consider the areas you’ll be trimming, the desired length, and how often you’ll use the device. If safety and additional features are your top priorities, the Manscaped Lawn Mower 4.0 with its SkinSafe™ technology may be the better option.
