Sometimes the grass is greener

Or: "Men buying women's hygiene products, because they exist."

It's really hard for me to find some stuff at all.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Higher quality is questionable

When it comes to cosmetics I thought it’s the other way around because men who will buy cosmetics are generally higher earners or something like that, so they’re generally willing to pay more.

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.

Their faces make this so funny

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.

Me buying Dettol™ Soap and calling it a day.

Women's razors are far superior to men's razors

So many companies are dumb and only advertise to women on products that can be used for everyone.

I just want to smell like something other than tree, cold tree, or beach episode tree.

Me and my 2 Litre, $3 "Jug-O-Body-Wash" feel called out.

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.

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

Me frequently accidentally buying women’s t-shirts cause I like those designs better.

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..."

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

Products for women also smells better

Me buying women's vitamins because they're the only ones with iron at the local dollar store.

Fun fact:

The same ingredient is cheaper in monostat (for womens bits) than it is in tenactin/etc (for men's feeet/bits)

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.

Me with just a bar of soap for my whole body.

And then there's people buying the first thing they see just because it's in the right section.

Is using an old picture of Elliot Page --- and referencing women --- considererd poor form? Honest question, I really don't know the etiquette.

Is this why I keep seeing shit covered tampons in the mens room? I get that it's higher quality but come on.
