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.
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.
I’m right there with you, but instead I use Castile soap and a exfilulating washcloth.
Can also vouch for shae butter + walnut shells. One of my friends makes them for fun and they leave you smooooth. Might not be good for pores though, especially for oily skinned folks. I’m basically 50% paper man, so I need all the moisture I can get.
Also gotta be careful with oils in the bathtub/shower. They leave the floor deadly slick.
50% paper 🤣 I understand this. My body is a desert.
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.
I like the ones that are just tea tree or sandalwood scented, I don’t need to smell like I bathed an axe body spray, and it works for both genders. (As if we actually need a different body wash lol)
Right?? Like I only use the ““male”” products when I’m showering in the morning (which is rare), because I don’t want to be smelling extra hetero moose joose maxxlather in my beard as I’m trying to get all cozy wozy for beddy bye time.
So that’s my story about why I have a men’s face wash from two Christmases ago that is barely used.
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.
I think this meme is talking about women using men’s razors and men using women hair products specifically ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Ok makes sense. Thanks.
Me buying Dettol™ Soap and calling it a day.
Their faces make this so funny
Somebody should have done their makeup at a higher quality.
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.
Can you give me some recommendations?
Depends. Are you looking for the best on the market, or are you looking for quality while still considering price?
If it’s not a hassle, tell me both. If it is, then the second option is the one I care more
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.
But then what am I to do with all of these DUDE WIPES?
Flush them at your frienemy’s house.
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.

Women’s razors are far superior to men’s razors
The best solution is the cheapest. Get a good quality safety razor and disposable double edged blades. Much less waste and the best shave.
Do we have any wetshaving communities on Lemmy yet or are they still only on Reddit?
There is at least one. I’m not entirely sure how to link it, but it’s this one:
Sub.wetshaving.social
That’s a whole instance. Thanks for that. I probably never would have found that.
Haven’t seen any.
That’s what I thought. Wanted to check anyway. Guess I’ll check out some forums in the mean time.
enjoy.
If you need something to arouse you from your lethargy, try an old show called ‘Penny Dreadful.’ Eva Green and Timothy Dalton versus Dracula. Fun
I remember hearing about it years ago. Will check it out.
This is true but it has a learning curve and you shouldn’t shave your face with these unless you’re willing to accept that you might accidentally get some small scars from nicks
If you’re getting scars from shaving nicks, you scar very easily or you shaved off a mole.
I scar very easily lol
Boo
The only scar I have in my face is when my brother closed a glass door on me, and I have been shaving with a safety razor for years now. Sure, it takes a bit to get used to, but that’s with anything new.
Have I nicked myself? Yes, once or twice, a few months in, when I got a bit too cavalier about shaving with it (it’s still a sharp blade). But it didn’t leave a scar.
I’ve been shaving with one for years and have never nicked myself more than I would have with a normal razor. It’s really nothing to be afraid of. The only way to really cut yourself would be to slide “with” the blade across your face, like you’re slicing. Otherwise it’s honestly harder to cut yourself compared to a cartridge razor.
I have never nicked myself with a cartridge razor whether I shave wet or dry, even with sloppy technique. I have 5 safety razors of varying design and thickness and about 100 brands of cream and blades, and I have to be careful with them or they leave gashes on my face. I have a very sharp chin with basically no body fat so that might contribute to it.
100 brands? One hundred ??
No, I’m being hyperbolic, about 15 sample packs in my cabinet right now and tried a few more previously. Feather are the best in my experience.
So many companies are dumb and only advertise to women on products that can be used for everyone.
They’re not dumb, marketing towards woman is just more effective
Just saying as a guy in my 20s I never thought I could use all those products till I got married. Never thought of it
I judge my body wash on the basis of if it can clean my antiperspirant off by the end of the day. (Shower at night before bed). Many men’s body wash require you to do a lot to get it to clean… Tried a seasonal pomegranate something one aimed at women one time and it smelled great and I hardly had to do anything more than just apply it. Win win. Then I never found it again. Dove products are cheap usually near me, some are terrible, some are amazing. I’m sure if I was smarter I’d read the ingredients and figure out what works best and verify it was in the new product, but maybe I’ll leave that for next year.
Just use regular non-antiperspirant deodorant. Anti-perspirant is bad for you and for your skin. It just forces your body to try even harder to sweat through it on top of the questionable chemistry. If you have a particular issue with the stank, just keep some with you or keep it at work to re-up. Not only will your armpits thank you, but so will your shirts. You can do that or keep using harsh chemicals for your armpits, harsh chemicals to get their residue off, and go through clothing like it’s toilet paper—or give your body the chance it hasn’t had since puberty to maybe cool off a bit. Give it a whirl.
I just assume that if it cleans off harder to remove substances like antiperspirant, it also would remove the oils and what not easier that get on me elsewhere. Grease, whatever. Need to remove oils from ivy, id rather it comes off easy and not have to find out a missed a spot. Convenience is a lazy man’s paradise.
I don’t know what anti perspirants you’ve been using, but Rituals ones don’t stain or leave residue on any of my clothes.
Yeah nah, i think I’ll stick to my antiperspirants. Having to spray periodically seems inconvenient
Me and my 2 Litre, $3 “Jug-O-Body-Wash” feel called out.
