Let’s face it, grooming isn’t just about the hair on your head anymore. Men everywhere are taking control of their body hair, and yes, that includes the pubic region. Whether for hygiene, aesthetic reasons, or to feel more confident in your skin (and out of your clothes), styling your pubic hair is now as normal as getting a fade or shaping your beard.
As a professional men’s hair stylist and body groomer, I’ve seen it all. From guys who want the clean-shaven look to those who prefer a bit of flair with a styled trim, the truth is: your pubic grooming style says something about you. Let’s dive into the top men’s pubic hair styles, how to achieve them, and what each one says about your vibe.
Why Groom Down There?
Before we get into the different pubic hair styles for men, let’s talk about why this even matters.
Grooming your pubic area isn’t just about looks—it’s about:
- Improved hygiene
- Comfort during workouts
- Better confidence during intimacy
- Accentuating your physique (yes, really!)
Plus, with the rise of body positivity and men’s self-care routines, taking control of your grooming is a power move.
1. The Natural Trim (a.k.a. “The Neat & Tidy”)
This is by far the most popular style. You keep everything in its natural shape but trimmed down with a clipper or scissors. Think of it as a “fade” for your nether regions. It shows you care about cleanliness without looking overly styled.
Best for: Men who want a low-maintenance, clean, and natural look.
Pro tip: Use a body trimmer with adjustable guard settings. Trim dry first, then do a wet cleanup shave for the edges if needed.
2. The Bare It All (Clean Shaven)
Going completely hairless is bold—and not just because it takes effort. A clean shave shows full confidence and is often preferred by men who want a smooth, athletic feel.
Best for: Athletes, swimmers, or anyone looking for a fresh, clean slate.
Pro tip: Always exfoliate first to prevent ingrown hairs. Use a fresh razor and shaving cream made for sensitive skin. Follow up with a soothing, alcohol-free moisturizer.
3. The Landing Strip
A minimalist style where a narrow vertical strip of hair is left just above the base. This style adds a bit of character without going completely bare.
Best for: Guys who want something sleek and styled without losing all their hair.
Pro tip: Trim everything short first. Use a razor or trimmer to shape the strip. Symmetry is key here.
4. The Bush Fade
This is where grooming truly meets styling. The bush fade blends your pubic hair gradually—thicker near the top and neatly faded towards the base and around.
Best for: Men who love their hair but want to give it definition and shape.
Pro tip: Use a fading trimmer, working in layers from longer to shorter. You might need help with precision, or better yet—see a pro groomer.
5. The Triangle Trim
The triangle shape is classic, simple, and flattering. The hair is left in a triangle shape pointing down toward the shaft, making it stylish and easy to maintain.
Best for: Men who want something unique without going overboard.
Pro tip: Outline the triangle with a trimmer guard first. Then, shave the surrounding areas carefully to define the lines.
6. The Patch (a.k.a. Soul Patch for the South)
Just a small patch of hair left above the shaft while everything else is clean. It’s modern, edgy, and kind of cheeky.
Best for: Guys who like minimalism with a bit of a twist.
Pro tip: Don’t overdo the size, think dime to quarter-sized patch. Keep the edges neat to avoid a messy look.
7. The Groomed Wild (Controlled Chaos)
Some guys want to keep most of their hair but in a way that’s intentional—not messy. You still trim around the edges, maybe clean up the shaft and inner thighs, but leave the bulk untouched.
Best for: Men who like the natural look but want it under control.
Pro tip: Trim around the base of the shaft, scrotum, and thighs with a low-guard trimmer. Let the main area breathe.
Tools You’ll Need
No matter your style, having the right tools makes all the difference. Here’s what I always recommend:
- Body trimmer: Preferably waterproof with multiple guard lengths
- Precision trimmer or detailer: For sharp edges or artistic styles
- Sensitive-skin shaving cream or gel
- Aftershave balm or moisturizer (alcohol-free)
- Exfoliating scrub to prevent bumps and ingrown hairs
Men’s Pubic Hair Styles for Every Body Type
Just like with hairstyles or clothing, the best men’s pubic hair styles depends on your body type and personal style:
- Lean build? The clean shave or triangle cut accentuates definition.
- Stockier build? A natural trim or fade blends better and balances proportions.
- Hairy overall? Consider fading from your stomach hair down into your pubic region for a more natural look.
Remember: grooming should enhance your features, not fight against them.
Hygiene Tips for Groomed Men
Whether you go bald or just keep things neat, don’t skip hygiene:
- Shower daily—especially after workouts
- Use gentle cleansers down there
- Exfoliate 1–2 times a week
- Wear breathable panties like cotton or moisture-absorbing blends
- Trim regularly to avoid overgrowth or itchiness
What Women (and Partners) Think
Let’s talk honestly. Plenty of partners appreciate a man who takes care of himself—including his pubes. Most aren’t demanding a certain style but do prefer clean, trimmed, and intentional over unkempt and wild. Grooming shows self-respect, and that confidence goes a long way in every part of life—including your love life.
Final Thoughts
Grooming your pubic hair is personal. There’s no restriction, and that’s the beauty of it. Whether you go full bare, stay natural with a trim, or try something bold like a fade or triangle, the most important thing is that you feel confident.
Think of your grooming style as a reflection of your personal brand. Just like you pick your haircut or your clothes, your pubic style is yours to choose. And hey, if you’re unsure where to start, consult a grooming pro. We’ve got your back.
FAQs
Q1. Is it normal for men to groom their pubic hair?
Yes—completely normal and increasingly common. Grooming is part of modern self-care for hygiene, confidence, and comfort. Whether you trim, shape, or shave, it’s all about what makes you feel good.
Q2. What’s the best pubic hair style for first-timers?
Start with the natural trim. It’s easy to maintain, looks clean, and doesn’t involve a razor. Once you’re comfortable, you can experiment with other styles like the landing strip or triangle.
Q3. Can shaving pubic hair cause irritation or ingrown hairs?
Yes, if done incorrectly. Always use a clean, sharp razor, shave in the direction of hair growth, and moisturize afterward. Exfoliating beforehand helps reduce the risk of bumps or ingrowns.
Q4. Should I use regular hair clippers for pubic grooming?
Not ideal. Invest in a body trimmer with guards specifically designed for sensitive areas. These are safer, more precise, and reduce the risk of nicks.
