manscaping

Body hair trimming

Manscaping is the trimming or removal of body hair by men, particularly in areas like the chest, back, and groin.

The word blends *man* with *landscaping*, suggesting deliberate grooming of terrain: He spent twenty minutes manscaping before his beach vacation.

The practice has become increasingly mainstream with changing grooming norms.
