You may have come across the term manscaping at one point or another. The term usually describes male hygienic practices below the waist. Other than that, manscaped is the name of a Sandiego-based company. True to their name, they deal with male hygiene. They focus on body hair prioritizing hair in the pubic region.
In the past bodily hygiene was seen as a woman’s game. Today’s men proudly take personal hygiene seriously. The first self-care practice is to come up with a skincare routine. As you adapt, you can graduate to full-on manscaping. The manscaped brand has introduced a variety of products to the market. Discussed below are the products and their various functions.
Manscaped products are available both in packages and a la carte. Every package contains a lawn mower. Despite its name, it is not the equipment used to trim grass within compounds. It’s an electric and waterproof hair trimmer. So far, there’s the lawn mower 2.0, 3.0, and 4.0. All these models come equipped with skincare technology. However, production of the 2.0 model ceased.

Now, over to the big question. Can you use manscaped on your face? The answer is yes and no. Even so, the manscaped blog advises against using the same razor on your face and below the waist. Switching blades prevents the transfer of bacteria. Just like beard-dedicated trimmers, the lawnmower gets the job done. One reviewer says it took him three minutes to shave off his four-week-old beard.
Substituting manscaped products for face products is not harmful. The results will not be as satisfying as those of dedicated facial products. For example, replacing your facial cleanser with a manscaped hair and body wash may not present the best results. You will need to rewash and moisturize your face after the shower for better results.
As mentioned before, manscaped specializes in below-the-waist hygiene. However, a few products are useable on the face. Said products include;
- The weed-whacker. It trims nose and ear hair.
- The crop cleanser, a hair and body wash.
- The plow/ safety razor 2.0. The blade heads are switchable to avoid infection.
- The lawnmower which too has detachable blades to avoid infection.
A while back, the manscaped brand revealed they are working on products specifically designed for the face.
Benefits of using manscaped.
- Manscaped provides both an electric trimmer and a usual razor. This way, you can free yourself of facial and body hair as often as you feel comfortable.
- The lawnmower 4.0 has an LED light. The light illuminates your streaming path and reduces the chances of injury.
- It is convenient. You no longer have to buy different trimmers for different body parts. All you need is to switch the razors to avoid cross-bacterial contamination. The device is cordless and uses wireless charging. Hence, there isn’t a charging port. You can use it in the shower without worrying about water infiltrating the trimmer. Not having to fight the cord is also a notable advantage.
- The packages consolidate everything needed for manscaping. Complete packages fix the hassle of buying one thing at a time.
Disadvantages.
- They are yet to introduce face-specific products.
- Using the one-inch trimmer is tougher on the chest and tummy.
- The positioning of the power button leads to accidental switch-offs mid-trim.
