Is 13 too young to start “manscaping”? My son started puberty at 11 and I’m a single mom. Not sure when he should start. I was a dancer at a young age and I had to take care of my bikini line because I was in leotards everyday. He has no reason to manscape but maybe for hygiene purposes?

If he doesn’t need to then I wouldn’t start him on it. Let him decide like maybe 16

I see no reason for it unless he likes to wear speedos.
My son is the same he says he gets really sweaty and makes him itch he has autism though not sure if it’s a sensory thing or not…we are looking into it apparently at Walmart there’s a small size battery charge trimmer we going to check out not too expensive either
Never heard of manscaping and I have 4 men in the family 39, 32, 31, 24

I don’t think any man actually needs to. Some do it to make their penis look longer. He’s far too young to be worrying about needing to shave there! It keeps him free from infection too.
I think that’s something he can decide on his own. I don’t think you have to do anything.

It’s up to him. Can tell him he can shave/trim give him the tools tell him to be careful. I started shaving younger than that bc it itched and was hot lmao.
Should be his choice. It’s his body.
My son started puberty early at age 9 and took it among himself to use scissors to cut his “hair”. I don’t know where/how/why but when I saw the evidence I just calmly told him those are his personal scissors now and if he wants to trim some to feel comfortable okay. We went over that hair goes in trash and if he ever accidentally cuts himself (he’s using old safety scissors) to tell me immediately and I’m not mad just part of growing up. I just tried to make it an easy conversation and let him steer. I wouldn’t bring it up unless your son does or you find out he’s already done it and needs a pointers. Good luck.
I think if it’s bothering him, like sweating a lot or itchy then yeah he should be able to. Just talk to him about the risks of cutting himself and to be very careful
His choice, but I’d be buying a trimmer rather than a razor.

I’d let him before he does it yourself and show him how.
Think about when you were younger? I have explained to my 8 year old about body hair and he can do what he wants when it happens cuz it’s not mine to dictate on.

Let him decide for himself.
If he wants to then it isn’t to young. If he hasn’t mentioned it I’d wait till he starts dating in a serious way, around 16 or so, to mention it and let him know if he decides its something he may want to do you can give him info and what not
Are you making the decision for him? It sounds like it. At 13, that is BEYOND creepy.

It’s HIS body, HIS choice.
Or that’s what we’d be saying if it was a parenting wanting to know about their daughter shaving.
It’s literally his decision. This is a really fucking weird post.
Don’t make him focus on his private so soon make him bathe that’s good enough.
I say it’s up to him. If it bothers him & he wants to then let him

Manscape?
Shaving his face?
I’m not sure there’s ever a NEED to shave any part of his body unless he really wants to.
let him decide it should be his choice and not yours
I my opinion, 13 shouldn’t need to worry about that stuff at all honesty.
And definitely will need to be taught how to use one safety when the time comes.
I have a 12 year old son praying for at least 4 more years to go by before he starts asking about that… lollol

Get the boy a trimmer. He will figure out the rest. My son did lol
I never talked about it with either of my sons. I just brought home electric trimmers for them. They can do whatever whenever with out them thinking mom knows lol
Girls shave there legs at 13 so why not boys shaving? Maybe they all know in gym class or something. He could do it without telling you anyway. I would not awe a big deal out of it
Let him decide.
My daughter wanted to shave her legs at age 9 because the hair was dark and she was afraid of getting made fun of. I gave her what she needed and she did fine.
13… And your worried about man scaping… Hmm. Yea. No.
So if he wants to have sex at 13 it’s his body his choice?
For the love of God, please don’t mention this to him. That’s absolutely none of your business, and its kinda creepy you’re even asking.
This is weird
Why are you concerned about it?
I say it’s up to him. It’s not like the only reason to shave is to have sex. And I can guarantee he’s going to do that whether he has hairy privates or not. It can be super itchy and hot and uncomfortable. It’s wild the amount of parents that want their kids to be uncomfortable because their scared they’re going to have sex.
