The best trimmer for sensitive skin is one designed for women's body hair, with a guarded blade that never touches your skin, that you can buy locally without overseas shipping and warranty headaches. In Australia and New Zealand your realistic options are Boosh (NZ-founded, designed for sensitive skin), Meridian (US brand), Philips OneBlade (hybrid trimmer-shaver, sold everywhere), and Panasonic's bikini trimmers (budget end).

Yes, the Boosh trimmer works wet or dry, and yes, you can use it in the shower, it's waterproof and rechargeable, and the shower is where a lot of our customers keep it permanently. Dry trimming is easier for seeing what you're doing; wet trimming is easier for cleanup.

You don't have to. There's no health reason, no hygiene reason, and no rule, body hair removal is a preference with a marketing history, not a requirement. Women remove hair for personal reasons (feel, sport, chafing, sensory preference, just liking it) and keep it for equally personal ones (comfort, principle, time, just liking it). Both are normal. Anyone who tells you otherwise is selling something, and yeah, we notice the irony of a grooming brand saying that.

A men's beard trimmer will work on body hair, and if you already own one, try it before buying anything. The difference is the shape. Beard trimmers are built for flat cheeks, thick skin and jawlines. A women's body trimmer is shaped for curves, creases, soft skin, bikini line, underarms, the bits a wide flat head can't follow. 

All 3 keep a guard between the blade and your skin. That is what razors don’t do. Meridian and Boosh are built for the body. The OneBlade is a face tool that also trims. Find out which one is the best for a women's body.

No. There is no medical or hygiene reason to remove pubic hair, none, and we sell a grooming tool, so believe us when we say it. Pubic hair is not dirty; it exists to do a job: it's a friction barrier, it protects some of the most sensitive skin on your body, and it plays a role in keeping irritants away from places that don't want them. Washing normally with water (and mild soap on the outside only) is the entire hygiene requirement, hair or no hair.
