How safe and effective is it for grooming male private parts without catching skin?

My husband says, "As long as you're using one of the plastic guards and not trying to use the shaver head, it shouldn't be too hard to do. I wouldn't personally have that shaver head anywhere near my scrotum."

Even with the plastic guards, you are at risk of catching skin. Go slow and careful.

I use the 1.5 mm guard on my privates(including scrotum) and it doesn't pull.

It does a great job on legs and armpits. I'd be hesitant to use it in more tender territory, but it is far more comfortable to use than earlier generations of epilators I have tried. It works swell on facial hair (of the faint female variety, I wouldn't try it on a beard or anything) with no irritation.

That's the only downside. It doesn't slosh or anything. Ive actually switched over now and started using the Barbasol Shaving Cream safe now.... WAY sturdier and is more convincing.

From what I remember on the packaging, it says not for use on genitals. I would stay away from using it for that purpose.

This would be safe for him, however, keep it an inch from the scalp. The device does emit warm steam that may be too hot for the scalp. You are in for awesome moisturized results.

I DO NOT trust electric shavers down there...EVER. With the loose skin it is VERY VERY easy to snag and cause a gash. even with a guard and even with the skin pulled taught... I will trim everything else, but it's a razor and some shave cream when I get down there.

I have used all models. This one is the least likely to nick or chaffe the skin due to the flexible head. If you pull the skin taut while shaving the private areas it's more likely to pull or nick the skin. Of course their is no perfect way, I've just learned from lots of nicking myself. Staying clean with a few nicks still beats the alternative.

Yes, you shouldn't have any problems. However I actually recommend using the beard trimmer; the body grooming head tends to shave much too close and the trimming edges can snag very easily. I find that using this head causes razor bumps 99% of the time, so your best bet is using the beard trimmer and then maybe the close shave head if you want.

It's awesome for just that. If you're a dude, be careful around the sensitive areas. *hint hint*

OK, so let's get specific. My um ... my "friend" wants to know if anyone's actually used this for scrotal shaving.

I do not see why it cannot be used by men. I would not recommend to use it on more extensive areas, because for maximum efficiency you can only apply wax in small strips, 2-3 inches, and it really works best on private parts.

It's wasn't a matter of looks for me. I personally hate body hair on women and my wife feels the same way about mens genitals. Thus I originally bought the bodygroom for her, for that reason. Since I've owned it however, I would NEVER go back to being hairy again. I use the shortest guide to trim my legs, arms, back, chest and stomach. This causes a nice tapered look and flows down to my shaved smooth genitals. They don't look shaved; they look more like I never had pubic hair in the first place. So, for someone who didn't care about the look, I'm most impressed with it. Once you run around with smooth genitals and short underarm hair, you'll never go back. I sweat a lot less in those areas and never smell, unless a big workout makes my underarms give off oder. If I shower normally, my genitals never smell. Further, I really like how my genitals feel in my silk sheets and my clothing. For one who has very sensitive skin and can't take a razor blade anywhere near my family jewels, the bodygroom is as good as it gets and I highly recommend it.

I use it on my face (since I no longer have privacy here &..."you know"...) a couple of times a week without those blue guards.Though I use it when the hair starts to grow out of the skin so I don't know how it does on full-grown, hairy beards.

Yes, works great for general "manscaping". It trims very closely with the guard removed.

This is not for cutting hair. It is for trimming nose hair, ear hair, side burns, back of neck hair, mustaches, and eyebrows on a man.

Nope. It's not a shaver, it's a very close trimmer. I own one and reviewed it above. It gets really really close, but a razor would get closer and in some of the areas this is designed for, that would you're likely to end up bloody if you're not extremely careful.

its a little bit strong and kinda sharp.....for me i prefer to use it only with headI'm using the body groomer from Philips its very good and beware when you trim or shave sensitive areas the hair will grow sharp but in case the body groomer it grew normal and not pin pointing
