In a clean cut from the past, the perception of beauty and personal grooming products being the exclusive domain of women has been sheared. Men have extensively joined the race to not only look presentable, but also reap the benefits of serious grooming and personal hygiene with body hair trimmers, spray perfumes, nail kits, skincare and much more. This is a global trend, and the Middle East is not an exception.
While the zeal to look good is fair, the pressure to do so is causing anxiety and stress contributing to body image issues in men. Unrealistic media messaging, social media hypes, dispersal of celebrity profile images, fashion trends and job market demands are all conducive factors. The COVID-19 pandemic has further heated up the challenge. But not all’s lost and there’s no need for men to feel left out without adequate support.
Eating Disorders & Exercise
Male body image issues can lead to eating disorders and exercise addiction. Many experts believe that around one-third of people with eating disorders globally are male and underreported due to stigma. Steroid abuse in young men, elite athletes, competitive bodybuilders, and men who train with weights are some of the male groups most at risk of using performance and image-enhancing drugs to promote muscle growth or reduce body fat.
If you work out even when you’re sick or injured and feel anxious if you can’t exercise, or exhibit similar other traits, chances are you need professional support to get to the root of your mental health issues. Also, if you regularly binge eat or excessively restrict food intake, seek guidance from a therapist who specialises in male eating disorders.
Tackling With Therapy
Statistics show that only about one-third of people in therapy in the United States are men, even as men are three times more likely than women to commit suicide. Men deserve support when mental health issues hit. Seeking help is a sign of courage and strength. The right support can surely help.
Clear-cut Hope
Overcoming negative body image and mental health issues are manageable with adequate help. The relationship between men and body image is more complex than ever, but affordable resources have never been more widely accessible. If you’re struggling with your body image or your relationship to food, reach out. Therapy, support groups, and supportive friends and family can be a lifeline as you work to heal.
Dylan Chou, the General Manager for Meridian Grooming says, “Male body image in the superhero era is applied to men’s worth which is unattainable and unrealistic. Your body image is how you think and feel about your body through thoughts, perceptions, imagination, and emotions.

Meridian creates grooming products for men that maximize their health and well-being. The brand has earned a cult-like following plus viral media attention since it launched two years ago. Personal care practices are far from superficial, and research has long shown a link between mental health and self-care. Good personal hygiene contributes to a more robust body-mind state and greater self-confidence. For Meridian, personal grooming is all about the finer details of product excellence—premium technology, sleek design, and a pain-free experience define Meridian’s products. After all, there’s nothing like winning, feeling fresh, smelling better, and letting compliments roll in.
The spike in male body hair removal in recent years isn’t surprising given the benefits to personal hygiene as well as the advancement of trimming tools that make the process quicker and safer. Dylan Chou, the General Manager for Meridian says, “Once a man embarks on an effective personal care regimen, there’s no going back. The ritualistic nature of a regular trimming protocol brings a satisfying structure to your routine, while the results just feel good. Meridian’s Trimmer not only reduces the opportunity for ingrown hairs and skin irritation, but also helps you avoid nicks and cuts making it ideal for body hair removal. The importance of incorporating Trimmer safety precautions is vital as well to experience the joys of efficient personal grooming.”
Meridian’s premium, innovative body hair Trimmer featuring high-end design offers a smooth gliding experience to manoeuvre around bodily contours with no nicks or snags. With low vibration for comfort, The Trimmer’s waterproof and ergonomic grip feature is designed to ensure easier handling even when wet, for better control during use, in or out of the shower, or even on dry skin.
Meridian’s Trimmer is different from other electric trimmers on the market because it is primarily a full-body grooming tool, not just another piece of electronics. The Trimmer is easier to use and looks better on a man’s bathroom shelf compared to other brands men may have seen in the past.
Meridian’s Trimmer is high-powered, rechargeable, and available in two colours—Onyx and Sage. It includes two adjustable guide combs (3-6mm, 9-12mm) for personalization and its accessories include a cleaning brush, USB charger, charging light indicators, and 90 minutes of trimming time on a full charge. Its reliable, rust-proof, and replaceable ceramic blades enable smoother trimming for optimal performance and hygiene. The Trimmer’s precision blades are designed for a seamless fit that allows men to trim their body hair without cutting, tugging, or irritating the skin.
Meridian’s classic bundles include the waterproof Trimmer paired with an array of self-care products to help men save money on a full grooming routine. The Starter Package includes a Replacement Blade, The Complete package includes The Spray, and The Maintenance Package includes The Spray and Two Replacement Blades.
Meridian Grooming has also expanded its product portfolio with the launch of its stylish Travel Case, ensuring you will always travel, and trim in style. The Travel case is a carriable hardcover with a water-resistant polycarbonate outer case material that is sustainable, and matte finished. Its inner nylon fabric is anti-mould and anti-bacterial coated that stores Meridian trimmers and accessories. Available in 3 colour variations of Onyx, Sage and Ocean, it is shockproof to protect trimmers and easy to clean.
