Or: "Men buying women's hygiene products, because they exist."
It's really hard for me to find some stuff at all.
I just want to smell like something other than tree, cold tree, or beach episode tree.
I'd prefer not to have any smell, but that is apparently really hard to do.
And why do all products for men have to look like I'm cosplaying a sci-fi tactical commando?
Same reason "gamer" PC peripherals all look like Gigatron's nut sack.
What about sea salt & gunpowder? Someone might question your masculinity and sexual orientation otherwise!
The rule is buy the default-gendered variant. If there a special "men's section" or "women's section" for a certain product category it means you'll be ripped off.
Especially women’s. In French we call it “la taxe rose” (the pink tax).
it's called pink tax in English too
I mean unless it's a more expensive product marketed to men, in which case it's called an example of fragile masculinity.
the French have such a way with words, that's almost as good as "le cigarette will cause le cancer"
Not sure I appreciate the irony. But you’re correct that it sounds very similar in french.
One could say: “la cigarette va causer le cancer” although that sounds very “english” and is probably what someone who learnt french knowing english would say. The more “fluent” way would be “fumer peut mener au cancer”. But both are technically correct.
Switched from using Old Spice Body Wash (RIP Krakengard) to Dove beauty bars and showers have become infinitely more pleasant. It feels good to apply, it smells like oatmeal and rice milk, and it always gets the stank off my nuts and ass the first time, unlike body wash.
Me frequently accidentally buying women’s t-shirts cause I like those designs better.
Jokes on you, the buttons will be on the wrong side! Ahahahahaha
Edit: yes I know t-shirts don't have buttons. Bad attempt at humour. Not deleting because I stand behind my mistakes.
The only women's bath product I really see a difference with is those jarred creams with abrasive material in them (like strawberry seeds or sugar; not micro plastic beads). They're the only thing aside from Lava brand hand soap that actually exfoliates my skin so I don't have weird hard spots of gunk in my pores along the outside of my thighs. My ass is so, so smooth now.
So many companies are dumb and only advertise to women on products that can be used for everyone.
Sometimes I buy womens soap because it doesn't make me choke. If I can't find soap that doesn't smell like I'm swallowing razorblades then i'm going for the womans soap. Luckily I haven't been faced with that situation recently.
Me buying women's vitamins because they're the only ones with iron at the local dollar store.
I do this. You'd be shocked at the number of womens supplements that don't have iron either.
There's actually a really good reason for that. The body doesn't have a good way to get rid of excess iron except by bleeding, so it's fairly easy for someone without a period to get iron poisoning from vitamins with iron in them. Women's vitamins assume the person taking them loses a significant quantity of blood every month. Not only should men not take them, women whose birth control eliminates their period completely shouldn't take them either.
And by higher quality they mean jammed full of things that don't actually enhance the product but just act as fillers to make it seem fancy
Higher quality is questionable
Me and my 2 Litre, $3 "Jug-O-Body-Wash" feel called out.
Shampoo, body wash, laundry detergent, engine degreaser, drain cleaner, ant poison and steak sauce.

Me at the grocery store yesterday: "These cookies look delicious! And they're 90% off!"
Wife: "Those are lactation cookies..."
Me: "I didn't know that was a thing... They still look good though..."
Lactation cookies ??? What is that ???
Cookies that came from tits ????
Food that contains nutrition, galactagogues, and folk-remedy ingredients to help with (human) milk production. Arguably, they're just food.
Mens boots, cargo shorts, overalls, and hats are a god damn vibe. Just the sheer fucking quality.
WHY CANT I HAVE THE LUXURY OF AQUIRING GOOD CARGO SHORTS!! WHYYYY
Pink crap or blue crap, it's all crap.
High quality stuff is marketed based on quality, it's not sexed for no fucking reason.
Fire Procter and Gamble into the sun, they do nothing of value for the world.
At wal mart: "blue Equate brand men's loofah $2" "blue Equate brand women's loofah $1"
That's not how this is supposed to work.
There's no need for any of that. There's plenty of higher-end grooming products marketed to both men and women, or even gender neutral, that can be purchased nowadays. And yes, if the price point is your greatest concern, it's a factor to consider. But shaving brands for men such as Proraso is great quality for the price point. Why more people settle for brands like Gillette when there are better products on the market at or even lower in price is beyond me.

But I’m not legally allowed to buy anything better than Gillette. I’ve been told that Gillette is “the best a man can get™” so I’m kinda stuck with it.
Cheaper? My ass.
Men's depilatory cream costs around 30% more here, and it's the same product, except with a slightly different fragrance.
Most of the time I buy women's products because they are both cheaper and of higher quality.
This, in my case, is true for everything except razor blades.
I know a guy that used a women's hygiene product once by mistake. Now he's a she and doesn't have a penis anymore. Make sure your family knows the dangers involved of using the incorrect gendered hygiene product. It's like plugging a 120v appliance into the 240v outlet.
