How
you groom your body hair is an incredibly personal decision.
From blogs dedicated to pubic hair styles to the overwhelming
results from searching for how to groom different types of hair,
you might say that the world is obsessed with body
hair.
However, regardless of how other
people handle their body hair, the way you go about grooming (or
not) is completely up to you. According to a recent study
conducted by Meridian, 83% of Americans claim that they groom
their body hair based on their preferences instead of what
society states as acceptable, and you should too.

Whether you're all for or wholly opposed to pubic hair designs, Meridian has
the perfect tool for trimming body hair. When it comes to grooming body
hair, there is no right or wrong, but it doesn't hurt to have a little bit
of guidance.
This article will discuss the many ways to groom body hair, including the
buzz, the Brazilian (bare), and the full-on bush! Who knows, by the end, you
might have a list of new pubic hairstyles to try out.
What Are Ways To Groom Your Body Hair?
It's crucial to remember that when we're talking about body hair, we're not
limiting it to the pubic area. Arms, chests, legs, and backs all grow hair,
and how much hair those areas sprout is utterly dependent on the individual.
No two bodies are the same, and hair is no exception.
With that said, there are some fantastic suggestions out there for trimming,
shaping, and removing body hair for everyone. Let's talk more about it!
Though we firmly believe the Meridian
Trimmer (and a few of our coveted accessories) are all you need to
shape and style your pubic hair, we fully comprehend that some of you may
prefer more long-lasting or permanent options such as laser hair removal or
waxing. For the rest, here's what to do if you're wondering how to get a
handle on your body hair.
The Pubic Region
Let’s start with how to trim pubic hair for men. Knowing how to groom
downstairs is essential to many men, and the good news is it's not that
difficult, especially when you have a
high-quality tool.
It's up to you how much you want to take off the top. You can slightly trim
what you were naturally given, buzz it down to almost nothing, or go
completely bare. A good body groomer works best for this area, as it will
help protect you from knicks and cuts while providing a shave that's as
close as you want.
If you want to shave your testicles, the right tools and a
steady hand. Make sure to pull skin tight when using trimmers in all
areas, especially this one! If you want the smoothest results, try a
wet razor and plenty of shaving cream instead.
With only 6% of Americans owning their bush, and 42% using an
electric trimmer to groom their pubic hair, you can probably see
where we're going with this. Women have been shaving their pubic
area long before there was specific terminology for pubic hair
grooming, and the internet has lists of women pubic hair styles to
prove it.
Many women choose to go completely bare, which can be done via waxing or with
a safe, reliable electric trimmer. It's not unheard of to leave a strip or
even a design (hello, lightning bolt) somewhere in that area. If you're
going for that rare full-bush look, don't shy away from using a pair of
eyebrow scissors, as they'll give you the fuller appearance you desire.
There is no right way concerning how to shape bikini hair. Even if you have a
full bush, our trimmers can help you shape it how you want.
Armpits
Should you groom your armpit hair? That’s up to you, but many people do! In
the same survey conducted by Meridian, 25% of males and 81% of females groom
their armpit. Shaving your armpits can be equally as frustrating as managing
leg hair, which is why many women choose to wax them. However, using an electric trimmer on the
armpit area can be a great way to quickly groom armpit hair, as well as
avoid irritation and regular (and sometimes painful!) trips to the salon.
Arms and Legs
Finally, an answer to the question, "should men shave their arms?".
We say, yes, they should, but only if the men want to shave their
arms! How much body hair you have is totally your call, and if
shaving your arms and legs is of interest to you, then you're in the
right place because we're going to tell you how to get it done.

Leg hair can be frustrating, especially regarding how quickly it grows back.
For those of you who want your leg hair to appear natural, but shorter, use
one or two guards on the trimmer. With this method, you'll still have body
hair, but it will seem more controlled.If you're a swimmer or prefer zero
hair on your arms and legs, go for it!
If you want a closer shave, using an electric trimmer carefully and without a
guard can be a good solution. It won’t give as smooth a shave as with a
razor, but it is close and substantially reduces the risk of skin
irritation. Though it might be tempting, try not to shave with a razor every
day, as you'll irritate your skin and follicles and set up the perfect storm
for ingrown hairs.
Chest Hair
Keeping at least some of your chest hair intact is entirely okay. To
groom your chest hair, you'll want a good electric trimmer with a
guard so you can decide how short you want to go during the shaving
process.
Take it slow if this is the first time you've shaved
your chest hair. You don't want to buzz it all off and end up in
regret. Not that that's ever happened to us.
Beating Back Hair
Some men wear their back hair proudly, while others not so much. If you're
one of the others, this part is for you. To get rid of your back hair,
you'll want to use the Meridian body trimmer on the lowest setting to
achieve a smooth result. You can use a traditional razor and shaving cream,
but the results won't last as long.
You might even consider a professional salon wax if your back hair is out of
control. Whatever you decide, make sure you have a partner there to help you
out!
How To Use Your Meridian Trimmer For Any Hair Style
The Meridian Trimmer is the best tool for anyone and any body area. Our
premium trimmers is gentle enough for anyone to use, tackling stubborn hairs
with precision and grace. Using the trimmer is straightforward and caring
for it is just as simple.
The Technique
Meridian trimmers arrive assembled, so the first step is choosing a guide
comb. Then clean the shaving area with soap and water because shaving clean
skin is easier and more hygienic. Use your trimmer with the flat side down,
parallel to the skin, regardless of which area you're shaving.
You can adjust the guide combs to your preference. At Meridian, we recommend
replacing the ceramic blade every two to four months, depending on how often
you shave.
Trimmer Maintenance & Charging
Maintaining your Meridian is a breeze, but you should always clean hair
scraps from the replaceable and snap-in blades. You can wipe off the
exterior with a damp, clean cloth; remember, the Meridian is waterproof!
Use your trimmer with the flat side down, paralell to the
skin, regardless of which area you’re shaving.
Your Meridian Trimmer will arrive fully charged so you can use it
right out of the box. Charge your trimmer only when necessary. Three
lights will come on when it's fully charged and ready for use, so
make sure you don't overcharge it. Our trimmer uses a USB charger
for your convenience.
We encourage you to check out the "How to Use" page and
scroll to the trimmer safety rules that follow. The Meridian Trimmer

must understand how to use it safely and maintain it to achieve the
best results!
