It can feel like hair removal for women is a never-ending struggle. Keeping on top of legs, underarms and bikini line – not to mention anywhere else you may want to rid yourself of hair – takes the average British woman half a day every single year. That could add up to an average of 25 days of your life ridding yourself of body hair!

A study in 2017 found that women spend an average of £6,500 over their lifetime on shaving at home, with the majority of this being spent on throwaway plastic razors. Not only are these disposable razors false economy, but they’re harming the planet too – all that plastic ends up in the landfill!

For a more cost-effective, eco-friendly and comfortable shave, many women are now turning their attention towards lady shavers. So, what is the best lady shaver on the market in 2019? Our ultimate guide will walk you through the best lady shaver options, no matter your budget, preferences, or body hair type.

The 7 Best Selling Lady Shavers in 2019!

Without further ado, let’s take a look at some of the best lady shavers in 2019!

 

1. Panasonic ES2291D Washable Wet/Dry Ladies Shaver

The Panasonic ES2291D is a 3 in 1 shaver, trimmer and includes a bikini comb so you are able to use it for all areas. It is cordless so it is operated by batteries and it is completely waterproof so you can use it in or out of the bath/shower, whether you need a quick shave for going out or a luxurious soak.

Due to its three different features, this lady shaver will work on your legs, underarms and bikini area. The trimmer comb will help to cut the more difficult areas.

The batteries are included but these are non-rechargeable batteries. There is a handy screen on the back to indicate when the batteries are running low.

Our testers think it is decently priced for its performance. It is nice and easy to hold and considering it is cordless, it works well. Just be careful as you could scratch under your arms with this lady shaver.

It doesn’t leave your legs with as smooth a shave as with a razor blade and we felt that it didn’t suit the underarms. It works really well on all types of leg hair and if you have fine hair it will shave your hair like a knife through butter.

The size of this lady shaver is a real benefit. It is also great that it is cordless and the batteries last a few weeks. It won’t compare with a razor in terms of that smooth finish but it does the job it was designed to do. This lady shaver was first released in 2014 which is why it might not have as many bells and whistles as others.

What we love

• Cordless and a great size to carry around with you
• Easy to use

What we don’t love

• Might not be suitable to all areas
• It doesn’t shave very close to the skin.

2. Lady Shaver-Waterproof Electric Painless Razor for Women

While we may not have heard of the Megainvo brand, this lady shaver has a lot to offer. It is a 3 in 1 kit with advanced 3D floating foil. It is waterproof so it can be used in the shower too. This lady shaver can be charged with a universal USB cable so there is no need to worry about not being able to charge it. The blades are made of hypoallergenic stainless steel which will please those with sensitive skin.

There is a straight blade for arms and legs, a curved blade for the hard to reach areas and then there is the 3D floating foil which will painless remove residual hairs.

If you are in a hurry you can use this for speedy results or if you want to treat yourself you can take it into the shower and use it along with your shower gels.

We are in love!! This is such a bargain. It probably doesn’t look like the prettiest of lady shavers but then women don’t like paying pink taxes!! Our testers we so impressed by how well the shaver worked both in and out of the water that the look of the shaver was not an issue. There is even a little LED light so you don’t miss any bits.

The shaver lasts a long time without having to recharge it but the charging stand is a bit flimsy.

It is difficult to find fault with the Megainvo lady shaver. It is cheap, it works exceptionally well on all areas of the body and the LED is a great touch. You can have lovely smooth legs without any cuts or irritation.

What we like

• Exceptional value for money, with a nice close shave
• Really clear instructions

What we don’t like

• The base could be stronger.
• It’s a real shame we can’t buy replacement blades.

3. 6 in 1 Ladies Electric Shaver

Once again we may not have heard much of the VIMC brand but this 6 in 1 set will definitely raise its brand awareness. The electric shaver has a 3 in 1 blade plus an additional precise shaving head and a precise trimming head. The set also includes a facial scrubbing brush, a massage head and a cleansing brush head. It is prepared for both wet and dry use and has a non-slip, soft-touch handle to allow for easy use. VIMC also provides a warranty, offering a free replacement or all of your money back.

The 3 in 1 blade has floating foil so you will get a nice close shave, the precise shaving head works well for underarm hair and the precise trimming head is suitable for facial hair and bikini lines.

To really pamper yourself, you will find a rotating massage head which is used to reduce wrinkles. The exfoliating silicone brush provides a deep clean for your pores and the cleansing brush will leave your face looking radiant and fresh.

We have decided that this isn’t just a lady shaver but in fact a beauty kit. If you are short of time you can use the dry shaver to shave your legs and you are out the door, however, if you have a little extra time you can treat yourself to a whole facial as well as hair removal.

It comes at such a good price and none of our testers felt the product looked or felt cheap. One tester had never used an electric shaver before and she was surprised at how easy it was and how it didn’t hurt. This would be a great gift for any lady.

You really cannot go wrong with the VIMC 6 in 1 set. You can treat yourself to a salon feel without the same prices. The lady shaver works extremely well on all types of body hair. The 6 adaptable heads are easy to clean. It works well in water, you can even completely submerge it in water.

What we like

• A great beauty set for an incredibly reasonable price.
• Smooth, soft finish on all areas of the body.

What we don’t like

• You may nick yourself if you go too fast.
• It is sometimes a bit tricky to switch the heads.

4. NOVETE 4 in 1 Electric Lady Razor

Novete has also added an extra touch to their shaver kit and included a facial brush making this a 4 in 1 set. There is also a precision shaving head, precision trimming head and the 3 in 1 blade. This lady shaver has a waterproof rating of IPX7 so it can be used with water. It comes with a 100% satisfaction guarantee with an email address to contact.

The 3 in 1 shaver head has a straight blade for larger areas and then a floating blade to get a closer shave. The two precise heads enable you to get a close shave in the tricky parts of your body.

When you want to treat your face to a nice scrub, just change the head. The facial cleansing brush will give your pores a good, deep clean giving you a nice fresh look.

After trying the Novete lady shaver on different types of hair, we discovered that it works really well on thick and thin hair but occasionally causes issues for underarm hair and more when used on the bikini line.

We liked the base. It felt quite sturdy and the shaver wasn’t constantly falling over. It charges really well so the battery life is amazing. Also, it came with a cute little bag to store everything in.

The brush head is really soft and gentle and we all noticed how much better our skin felt after just one use. Many of us had never thought about buying a facial cleansing brush so we loved the idea of one being included. Plus, it is really easy to change the heads.

It is always nice when you get an added extra like the facial cleansing brush. It feels like you are getting more for your money, especially as the price is already very reasonable. Having a good battery life is a real convenience. It is great on legs but could be better on other parts of the body.

What we like

• Wet and dry use, also can be used in the bath.
• Leaves you with shiny smooth skin

What we don’t like

• Doesn’t work well on underarm hair
• The battery charge doesn’t last as long as expected

5. Babyliss 8770BU True Smooth Rechargeable Ladies Shaver

The Babyliss 8770BU is quite a basic lady shaver. The dual foil enables a close shave and the floating trimmer will remove the longer hairs beforehand. There are no other heads but this one is removable for easy cleaning. It does come with 2 combs for guidance.

Having two different sized comb guides are a real advantage with this set. Not everybody wants a close shave, due to ingrown hairs so you can choose between a 2mm and a 4mm comb. However, if you choose not to use one of the combs you can use main shaver head, with the dual foil you get a close, soft shave.

You can take the head off so you can clean the head without difficulty under running water, this will help maintain your set.

We found that when your skin is pulled tightly, the performance is improved a lot and you get a much closer shave. It also worked on the upper lip region of the face.

It is really easy to use, including for younger and first-time electric shaver users. It would be an ideal gift for anyone but especially a teenager who hasn’t used an electric shaver before.

While we don’t like giving negative reviews, we also have to be honest. If you are loyal to Babyliss this is a fine product and will get the job done. It is a good price for what comes in the set. If you are new to lady shavers we would recommend looking at others.

What we like

• It is a good option if you have a problem with ingrown hairs
• The battery life is fantastic

What we don’t like

• The quality of the shave could be a lot better.
• You might be better off looking at other brands for the same price.

6. Philips SatinShave Prestige Wet and Dry Electric Lady Shaver

The Philips SatinShave electric lady shaver comes with 2 heads, the prestige and the bikini trimmer. It also includes a trimming comb. It is the first time we have seen a skin stretcher cap. There is a Supercharge option, in 5 minutes you will have enough charge for one use. The box includes instructions and it is nice to see one of the well-known brands including a guarantee.

The enhanced shaving system leaves your skin soft, hair-free and with less irritation and along with the bikini trimmer head it is suitable for all areas of your body.

The trimming comb is 3mm so you can decide whether you want the close shave or not.

If you really want a close shave, the skin stretcher cap is a great accessory, helping you pull your skin tight so that the hairs stand up, perfecting the trickier areas.

This is a superb shaver if you are fed up of cutting yourself on traditional razors. It provides a close shave and if necessary you can do the odd touch up when necessary. That being said, when you take into consideration the price, do you really want to be “touching up”!

This is a little bit expensive but if you use the skin stretcher you will definitely see improved results. It is a pretty looking set and god for those who like to travel. It is a good choice if you are prone to sensitive skin.

What we like

• 5 minute supercharge if you are in a rush
• Reduces irritation

What we don’t like

• The price is a little high
• Can be slightly painful under the arms and around the bikini line.

7. Remington Cordless Wet and Dry Lady Shaver

Remington has produced a cordless shaver which has double foils and floating hypoallergenic heads, as well as an aloe vera strip. It comes with a comb guard for bikini areas. It is a wet/dry shaver so you can use it in the shower. The anti-slip grip will help you achieve the soft, hair-free shave. After charging up on its base, you will have up to 30 minutes of use. If you are looking to transport your shaver, you can do so in the bag provided.

The combination of the double foils, floating hypoallergenic heads and aloe vera strip gives you the smoothest shave, following all the contours of your body and really spoiling your skin at the same time.

It has a somewhat futuristic, robotic look, especially with the charging button on the front. It also had a really great shape which adds to its ease of use.

This shaver works really well on all types of hair, we tested it on thick hair and it worked like a breeze. The thing we liked is that you can change the foils yourself but you will need to oil the heads every now and then.

The head is a tad bulky so for those who have a petite figure you might struggle under the arms. That being said we thought it was such good value even if you only use it on your legs.

As with other shavers, there seems to some issues when it comes to shaving under the arms. But this is by far the cheapest we have seen, considering it produces such good results on legs, we could forgive it. The aloe vera strip is very popular and not just with people who have sensitive skin.

What we like

• Amazing price
• Incredible performance on the legs

What we don’t like

• Issues with underarms
• It’s noisy

8. 3 in 1 Braun Silk-épil Lady Shaver

This lady shaver allows you to shave all parts of your body and at the same time, the exfoliation attachment so while you are shaving you are also exfoliating. It is cordless and runs on a Li-Ion battery. While it is advertised as waterproof for easy cleaning, it is not advertised for wet shaving. Similarly to the others, it has a floating foil and a trimmer cap. It has a rounded head to glide over body contours.

The main features of the Braun Silk-épil are the floating foil, trimmer cap and rounded head which together produce a silky finish for any area of your body.

The Li-Ion battery means that after just one hour of charging, you will have 40 minutes of shaving time.

What makes this lady shaver stand out it the exfoliation attachment. Women want to have smooth, soft skin and this is doing two jobs at the same time.

First of all, we are completely baffled by the price difference between the pink and purple versions!

In general, we were all pleased with the closeness of the shave. It’s a pretty little machine that is nice and light to use. But our testers with thicker hair did prefer other shavers.

Value for money here depends on your colour preference! It is a good all-round shaver that comes with nice accessories but it still doesn’t tick all the boxes, particularly for those who have thick hair. The charger is brilliant and there is plenty of time to shave and even go over missed parts or areas that need a second go.

What we like

• The exfoliation attachment is a blessing that really makes a difference
• The long-lasting battery gives you plenty of extra time when needed.

What we don’t like

• This is not a lady shaver which can be used on all types of skin!
• Replacement parts are expensive, especially if you aren’t completely in love with it.

9. Ladies Electric Shaver Bikini Trimmer for Women

Maybuy’s electric lady shaver has a 3 in 1 system with a flexible head. It also comes with a trimmer blade for precision. A nice addition to the set is the facial cleansing brushes. It is waterproof and comes with a charging stand. Its ergonomic design makes it comfortable to use.

With the 3 in 1 blade and the precision trimmer, you will be able to remove hair from your legs, arms, underarms and bikini line.

It is charged by a USB cable which is really convenient because you don’t need to worry about taking an extra charger with you.

It is IPX7 waterproof so you can use it dry, in the shower or in the bath. It is safe to use with gel or shaving foam if you prefer.

Before even using the set we noticed that it looked like it was made from quality materials. It felt comfortable in our hands.

We were pleased with the price, after doing some research we realised that most facial cleansing brushes do not come with a stand, so it is worth paying a little extra if you get a facial brush with it.

It is definitely a convenient set being waterproof and with a USB charging system. It is also the right size to take in your bag with you. It does work on all types of hair but better on finer hair. The facial brushes give you a lovely clean feel on your face.

What we love

• Amazing facial brushes
• Good value for money

What we don’t love

• • If you have thick underarm hair it doesn’t provide the best results
  • If you have sensitive skin you might not want to use it dry

The Best Lady Shavers Guide in 2019!

 

Electric lady shavers vs conventional razors

Most women around the world opt for a disposable razor when shaving their legs, underarms and even their bikini line. Some women will also consider a reusable razor, where the plastic head is changed as and when it’s needed. While they may seem cheap, the costs can quickly add up using this kind of razor. Not only that, but the plastic heads or the whole razor itself usually ends up in the bin – not exactly eco-friendly.

On the other hand, electric shavers are far more environmentally friendly and cost-effective. Parts don’t need to be replaced anywhere near as often as conventional razors, meaning less plastic waste to throw away. While the initial cost may be higher than opting for a disposable or reusable razor, you won’t need to head to the shops every few weeks to stock up. The best lady shavers should last you 3-5 years, but sometimes even longer if you look after it well.

So, even if you opted for a lady shaver at the top end of the scale (around £50), you’ll be getting more value for money in the long run. With reusable razor heads costing an average of £8 per pack of 3, that “cheap razor” can actually add up to over £130 a year if you change the head once a week. That stings more than razor burn! It’s no wonder more and more women are looking for the best electric lady shaver, to save their wallets and the environment.

Finally, many women find that using an electric shaver gives them a closer and smoother shave, that lasts for longer than a conventional razor. We all dream of having silky smooth legs, without having to shave them every other day. If there’s one thing a lady shaver is good for, it’s getting rid of those pesky hairs.

 

What different types of lady shavers are there?

For the most part, the best lady shavers all have very similar features that can make it hard to pick the right one for you. Unlike men’s shavers, which tend to have a rotary or foil option, the majority of women’s shavers are foil. A foil shaver makes use of multiple blades which move side to side, getting as close to the skin as possible without cutting it.

The foil itself refers to the thin metal mesh which is what the hairs are pushed through, creating a clean cut with the moving blades. There are some rotary shavers on the market, but they tend to be focused more men as their hair is considered to be coarser – with dry beard hair being as hard to cut through as copper wire, according to Gillette.

 

How much should the best lady shaver cost?

We have already looked at how much more cost effective it is to buy an electric women’s shaver compared to buying conventional, throwaway razors. So, what kind of budget should you be looking at for the best lady shaver? Really, it all depends on what features you want it to have. Some of the best purse-friendly lady shavers on the market can be found under £20, from big-name brands such as Philips. However, you are likely to find them requiring batteries and lacking extras for that kind of price range.

As you make your way up to the under £30 price bracket, you’ll find some of the best lady shavers on the market complete with plenty of extras. At this price point, you can expect plenty more accessories, including attachments for shaving different parts of the body. They are also likely to be wet and dry lady shavers that are rechargeable, instead of requiring batteries.

At the upper end of the budget, the best lady shavers come with all of the bells and whistles. Some double up as epilators, or have attachments which can be used as cleaning tools for your face, all in one handy little package. Big brands, such as Philips and Braun, dominate the top of the lady shaver price bracket, so you know you’re getting good quality for your money.

 

The differences between the best lady shavers in 2019

While they may be roughly built the same, there are a lot of things that can set apart the best lady shavers on the market depending on what you’re looking for. Here are just some of the differences you may want to consider:

• Battery or electric lady shavers – Some have rechargeable batteries whereas others are charged using a cord, plug, or charging stand. Consider whether you want to have to invest in new batteries every few months or if you’d prefer something that plugs in and charges.
• Wet or dry use – Some lady shavers are only recommended for dry shaving, whereas others will work in the bath or shower. If you’re moving on from disposable razors and usually wet shave, then you’ll likely want to look for one that can be used in the wet.
• Accessories – When looking for the best lady shaver, look for one that comes with the accessories you need. Want it for underarms and bikini lines? Ensure it has the right extras to help get the smoothest shave.

These are just some of the things to look for when you’re on the hunt for the perfect lady shaver, but there are other things to consider too. For example, if you’re torn between a few, read through the best lady shaver reviews and see which one comes out on top!

Where to find reliable lady shaver reviews you can trust?

On the subject of reviews, reading through what others say about what are supposedly the best lady shavers on the market can help you make a clear decision about which one will work for you. So, where can you find lady shaver reviews? Luckily, we have collated the best lady shaver reviews covering all budgets, preferences, and uses. Looking for the best lady shaver for underarms?

What to look for in lady shaver reviews

Just checking out the features of a lady shaver isn’t necessarily enough to make the ideal buying decision. Instead, there are certain things you should look for when scrolling through lady shaver reviews, such as:

• Ease of use – How easy is it to get to grips with your new lady shaver? Does it come with a huge manual that will make it difficult to get started with right away? Or can you simply plug it in, charge it up, and try it out.
• Close shave – If you want your legs, underarms or bikini line to feel smoother for longer, then you’re going to want to opt for a lady shaver which promises a close shave. Look out for this in the reviews.
• Longevity – How long does it last, effectively? You don’t want to have to be forking out for a new lady shaver every few months. Look for people who have updated their lady shaver review saying how long it lasts; particularly in terms of the battery.
• Battery life – Along the same lines, how long does the battery last? How long can you go between shaves before it needs to be charged up again? If you travel a lot or forget to even charge your phone, look for a longer battery life that will last you.
• Replacement heads – It’s inevitable that you’ll have to replace even the best lady shaver heads once in a while. Are these easy to buy? How often do they need replacing? Look out for this information in the reviews.
• Sensitive skin – Many people look for the best lady shaver for sensitive skin to avoid razor burn or rashes. If this is you, look for reviews from people in a similar situation. Did they find that it helped or hindered their sensitive skin?
• Good for different parts of the body – If you’re looking for a lady shaver that suits certain parts of the body, then look out for other people’s reviews on this. This is particularly the case if you’re looking for the best lady shaver for pubic area shaving, as this is one of the most sensitive parts of the body – and the hardest to reach.
• Wet or dry – Some of the best lady shavers on the market advertise that they can be used in the wet, but they’ll come with a whole list of do’s and don’ts. Read through the reviews to find out if you can use your chosen lady shaver in the bath or if it’s only slightly water resistant for shower use.

Make sure you read through the electric lady shaver reviews carefully, to ensure it ticks off all the boxes you’re looking for. Need the best lady shaver for legs and underarms, but nowhere else? Don’t be put off if the reviews say it’s no good for the bikini line! Look for the reviews that match up to what you need from your new electric shaver.

 

But, do I need the best lady shaver?

At the end of the day, it all comes down to personal preference as to whether a lady shaver is the right tool for you. However, if you’re looking to save money on your beauty routine (something women spend in excess of £70,000 on over their lifetimes), then little things like this can make a big difference. It will also play a part in saving the planet, with less plastic waste being thrown away with disposable razors. Many women have found that the best lady shavers also give them a much smoother shave than a conventional razor – so it’s a win-win situation. There are also a whole range of women’s electric shavers designed for different types of hair, situations, preferences, and budgets. So, you can find one that fits perfectly into your hair removal routine.
