Best Electric Shaver for Women in Australia 2026: 7 Lady Shavers and Bikini Trimmers Compared

This page compares seven cordless women's shavers and bikini trimmers from Philips, Braun and Remington, from a leg shaver on AA batteries to a rechargeable three blade shaver with an LED light. The listings describe which body areas each model suits and whether it can be used wet or dry. Epilators are a different product: our epilator guide covers hair removal at the root.

Best women's electric shaver overall: Philips SatinShave Essential HP6306

Best women's electric shaver overall: the Philips SatinShave Essential HP6306, because it is a cordless wet and dry leg shaver with a small single foil head, AA batteries included and more ratings than any other women's shaver here.

The listing calls it an all round women's electric shaver for legs, with a small single foil shaving head that cuts quickly, and wet or dry use in and out of the shower or bath. AA batteries, a travel cap and a cleaning brush are included, and the detail rows give a battery average life of 10 hours at about 218 g. It holds 4.2 stars from more than 18,300 ratings, the most of any pick here.

It suits anyone who wants a leg shaver for the shower powered by AA batteries. The honest catch: its box list does not name a bikini comb or trimmer head, it runs on batteries rather than a rechargeable cell, and its 4.2 stars make it the most rated shaver here rather than the highest scored.

Best lady shaver with an exfoliation attachment: Braun Silk-epil Lady Shaver 5-160

Best lady shaver with an exfoliation attachment: the Braun Silk-epil Lady Shaver 5-160, because the listing gives a floating foil and trimmer for legs, underarms or bikini line, a bikini trimmer cap and an exfoliation attachment in one wet and dry shaver.

The listing describes a wet and dry 3 in 1 system for the bath or shower, a floating foil and trimmer for a close shave on legs, underarms or bikini line, and a rounded head. The two extras are a trimmer cap for the bikini line and sensitive areas and the exfoliation attachment. It runs on two AA batteries, included, is listed as waterproof and weighs 248 g. It holds 4.3 stars from more than 7,800 ratings.

It suits someone who wants one shaver for legs, underarms and the bikini line. The honest catch: it runs on two AA batteries rather than a rechargeable cell, and the listing calls this Silk-epil model a lady shaver, not an epilator.

Best premium lady shaver: Philips Lady Shaver Series 8000

Best premium lady shaver: the Philips Lady Shaver Series 8000, because the listing gives a flexible shaving head, an LED light, two speed settings and up to 100 minutes of runtime from a rechargeable battery.

The listing calls it Philips' most premium Lady Shaver: a cordless shaver that removes hair as short as 0.2 mm, with a flexible head, an LED light, a 3 blade system, two speed settings, wet and dry use and an anti slip grip handle. The included components list a bikini trimmer head, bikini trimmer comb and trimming comb. The detail rows say it is powered by a rechargeable battery and weighs 350 g. It holds 4.2 stars from more than 3,400 ratings, a count it shares with the Series 6000.

It suits someone who wants up to 100 minutes of runtime, a flexible head and an LED light in a Philips lady shaver. The honest catch: it is the dearest shaver on this page and its rating count is shared with the Series 6000.

Best rechargeable lady shaver for legs, body and bikini: Philips Lady Shaver Series 6000

Best rechargeable lady shaver for legs, body and bikini: the Philips Lady Shaver Series 6000, because the listing gives a 3 blade system, up to 80 minutes of runtime, wet and dry use and a bikini trimmer head with a trimmer comb.

The listing describes a cordless lady shaver for legs, body and bikini that removes hair as short as 0.2 mm, with a 3 blade system, one speed, wet and dry use, an anti slip grip handle, and a bikini trimmer head with trimmer comb to trim and shape the bikini area. The battery gives up to 80 minutes of runtime and the detail rows describe it as rechargeable, with a foil head at 300 g. It holds 4.2 stars from more than 3,400 ratings, shared with the Series 8000.

It suits someone who wants one rechargeable shaver for legs, body and the bikini line without paying for the Series 8000 extras. The honest catch: it has one speed, and its ratings are pooled with the Series 8000.

Best bikini line trimmer: Philips Bikini Genie BRT383

Best bikini line trimmer: the Philips Bikini Genie BRT383, because the listing gives click on trimming combs and a mini shaver head in a cordless trimmer that works on wet or dry skin.

The listing describes an electric trimmer for women that keeps the bikini line in shape and trims thicker hair, on wet or dry skin. It is cordless and compact, powered by AA batteries with no charging cords, and the detail rows give a battery average life of 45 minutes at 146 g. Click on trimming combs, a mini shaver head, a small cleaning brush and a soft drawstring pouch are included. It holds 4.2 stars from more than 13,700 ratings.

It suits someone who mainly wants to trim and shape the bikini line rather than shave whole legs. The honest catch: it is a trimmer with a small shaving head, not a full body shaver, so pair it with the SatinShave Essential for legs.

Best value lady shaver: Remington Smooth S1 Lady Shaver

Best value lady shaver: the Remington Smooth S1 Lady Shaver, because the listing gives a single foil with a dual sided intercept trimmer, wet and dry use on arms, legs, underarms and bikini line, and a bikini comb with batteries in the box.

The listing describes a cordless waterproof women's shaver with a single foil and a dual sided intercept trimmer, a flexible trimmer that lifts and trims flat lying hairs, and wet and dry use on arms, legs, underarm and bikini line. The box holds the shaver, a bikini comb attachment, a storage pouch and two AAA batteries, and it weighs 270 g. It holds 4.1 stars from 150 ratings.

It suits a first lady shaver at the lowest cost on this page. The honest catch: only 150 ratings so far, so its 4.1 score is less settled than the Philips and Braun models, and it is the lowest score here.

Best rated Remington lady shaver: Remington Ultra S3 Lady Shaver

Best rated Remington lady shaver: the Remington Ultra S3 Lady Shaver, because the listing gives a single foil with a dual sided intercept trimmer, a massaging strip and a head that clips off for cleaning under the tap, at 4.5 stars.

The listing describes a single foil with a dual sided intercept trimmer for a close shave, a flexible trimmer that lifts and trims flat lying hairs, and a massaging strip the listing says adds comfort while shaving. The detail rows give a foil head, a nickel metal hydride battery with a battery average life of 40 minutes, and 350 g. It holds 4.5 stars, the highest score on this page, but from only 44 ratings.

It suits someone who wants a Remington single foil shaver with a massaging strip. The honest catch: 44 ratings is a thin count for a 4.5 score, the bullets do not mention wet or dry use, and they do not say what comes in the box.

How to choose a women's electric shaver

Shaver, bikini trimmer or both

A lady shaver has a foil head for legs and underarms, and a bikini trimmer has a small cutting head with combs for shaping rather than a close shave. Our electric shaver guide compares foil and rotary shavers. For longer term hair reduction with light based devices, see our IPL hair removal guide.

Rechargeable or replaceable batteries

The Philips Series 8000 and Series 6000 are rechargeable, with up to 100 and 80 minutes of runtime in their listings. The SatinShave Essential, Braun 5-160 and Bikini Genie run on AA batteries and the Remington S1 on two AAA batteries, all included. The Remington S3 detail rows list a nickel metal hydride battery with a 40 minute average life. Compare each model's battery type and listed runtime. The SatinShave Essential listing calls its compact design perfect for travel.

Bikini attachments and wet use

If the bikini line is the main job, look for the attachment in the box: the Bikini Genie has click on trimming combs, the Braun 5-160 a trimmer cap, both Philips Series 6000 and Series 8000 a bikini trimmer head and comb, and the Remington S1 a bikini comb. Six of the seven listings say wet and dry use, and the Braun and the Remington S1 are listed as waterproof. Only the Remington Ultra S3 bullets say nothing about wet or dry use, so check its listing before you take it into the shower.

Frequently asked questions

What is the best ladies electric shaver in Australia?

For most people it is the Philips SatinShave Essential HP6306, a cordless wet and dry leg shaver on AA batteries with more ratings than any other women's shaver here. The Braun Silk-epil Lady Shaver 5-160 scores higher and adds a bikini trimmer cap, and the Philips Lady Shaver Series 6000 is the rechargeable choice with a bikini trimmer head.

Philips Lady Shaver Series 6000 or Series 8000: which should I buy?

Both are cordless 3 blade wet and dry shavers with rechargeable batteries and listed bikini trimmer heads and combs. The Philips Series 8000 lists a flexible head, an LED light, two speeds and up to 100 minutes of runtime. The Series 6000 has one speed and up to 80 minutes, and costs less.

What is the best ladies shaver for legs?

The Philips SatinShave Essential HP6306 is the pick for legs: its listing calls it a women's electric shaver for legs with a single foil head for wet or dry use, and it has more than 18,000 ratings. If you want a rechargeable shaver that also covers body and bikini, the Philips Lady Shaver Series 6000 listing names all three.

Can I use a women's electric shaver on the bikini line or pubic area?

Choose a pick whose listing names that area. The Philips Bikini Genie is made for the bikini line, with trimming combs. The Braun Silk-epil 5-160 adds a trimmer cap for the bikini line and sensitive areas, and the Philips Series 6000 and 8000 titles both say legs, body and bikini. The Remington S1 comes with a bikini comb.

Is an electric shaver or an epilator better for women?

They are different products. The Philips SatinShave Essential is a foil shaver you run over the skin, wet or dry, on AA batteries. An epilator is made to pull hair out at the root, and the Braun Silk-epil Lady Shaver 5-160 on this page is a shaver despite the name. Our epilator guide compares the epilators.

Can you use a lady shaver in the shower?

Six of the seven listings say wet and dry use. The Philips SatinShave Essential says in and out of the shower or bath, the Braun Silk-epil 5-160 says bath or shower and is listed as waterproof, and both Philips Lady Shavers say easy use even in the shower. The Remington Ultra S3 listing does not mention wet or dry use.

Do women's electric shavers give a close shave?

Closeness is a listing claim, not something we measured. The Braun Silk-epil 5-160, the Remington Smooth S1 and the Remington Ultra S3 listings all promise a close shave from a foil and trimmer, and both Philips Lady Shavers say they remove hair as short as 0.2 mm. The SatinShave Essential listing describes a small single foil head that cuts quickly.

Is a rechargeable lady shaver better than one on AA batteries?

Rechargeable means no batteries to buy: the Philips Lady Shaver Series 8000 and Series 6000 listings give up to 100 and 80 minutes of runtime per charge. Battery models travel without a cord: the SatinShave Essential, Braun 5-160 and Bikini Genie run on AA cells and the Remington S1 on AAA, all included in the box.
