Lol this is so true 😂
Men’s shampoo (or any other shower product) sucks ass. It’s why I started using women’s everything, back at 16, waay before even starting HRT.
Still cis tho :3

it’s true :3 i still prefer to use the men’s shampoo (without perfume) because they make my hair straw-y, and i like that. :)
I’m not judging but…you actually like the straw-y hair? Really? 👀
A real mans
shampoocleaning solution!I’m kidding don’t try this at home; your eyes will burn like crazy, inhale it and it will feel like your lungs are on fire making cigarettes feel like a child’s game, get it your nose and you won’t smell anything for a day, enough exposure on your hands and they will shake–permanently. Cleans real good though. Non of that 99.99% kills bacteria bullshit, it’s a tactical nuke.
Alright alright! I’ll buy it. Jesus, just, enough with the shaft stroking! I was sold just with that packaging. BTW, what smell does it have?
If it’s just sitting there, it’s kind of sweet and soapy. If it’s coming out of a spray bottle it smells like you were cutting Carolina Reaper peppers and then decided to stick your finger in your nose -_-
I don’t kink shame if you’re into that.
You, my friend, have a sale!
Glad you’re getting into the cleaning business. Muriatic Acid afterwards helps clean those pesky calcium “stains”
Well, my friends have been complaining about my manly smell, so this looks like a good opportunity!
Good time to invite them to a purple onsen.
Bet some bacteria would feed on it anyway if you give it enough time
I would be very scared of whatever would survive this. Let’s just say you can use this to dissolve things when you boil it. Like I said it’s very good at cleaning, I didn’t specify cleaning of what.
Realizing that almost all my bathroom products are ungendered. It’s a good feeling.
And if you read the ingredients, they’re the very same things, just with different synthetic color and aroma. Oh, and different prices, of course.
Yah honestly this post just confirm that marketing does work indeed.
I had a good laugh when I saw “Dude Wipes” is a product. That product touches my ass so I need some firm affirmation that wiping my butt won’t make me gay, I guess?
Had a kid, toddler now. I don’t think we’ll stop buying baby wipes ever. They’re just so useful and probably 10x cheaper than stupidly-marketed ones. Although I am finally going to install a bidet soon.
It’s sad, but some people (men) actually think that wiping their own ass will make them gay. And so they just don’t. They don’t wipe their ass, don’t wash it in the shower. “Just running water over it is enough, scrubbing would make me gay”. I’ve never quite understood that. Toxic masculinity is just the worst…
I wonder how many of them are actually gay and blame wiping their ass as a kid.
You know, I laugh at this, but then I remember…some fucking men istg 😭
I wouldn’t even be surprised
Bidets are commonplace in my country plus I do wipe my butt and I am kinda gay soooo…
I’ve never heard this and I’ve been a man my entire adult life. That doesn’t sound like toxic masculinity, that sounds like that person has much more serious issues.
I’m chronically online and yes, this is far more common than one might think, and especially in the “Manosphere”.
I’ve read everything ranging from dudes arguing that touching your butt makes you gay to women complaining about dudes not wiping. Yuck.
Ewww. Should someone tell them that using the same logic means that they aren’t washing other body parts, like their weiners. I would call it something more masculine but weiner sounds more appropriate in this case.
I’ve heard it from a couple different people over the years, and the kind of people who say dumb shit like this are pretty clearly dealing with multiple mental health issues. Usually the kind of person you can tell within 5 minutes they support Andrew Tate and watch/listen to Joe rogan
That’s honestly good for you! Yep, these are indeed…more serious issues
Toxic masculinity is any overt masculinity that has a toxic outcome… So this counts.
That brand also makes “Little Dude Wipes,” so big beefy manly men can teach their boys how to be big strong manly beefy hunky men, too, when wiping their shitty ass. They’re also double the price of standard store brand baby wipes for less wipes per package.
I call them insecurity wipes.
Apparently there’s pumpkin spice flavored dude wipes now. Do with that what you will. Mixed messaging if you ask me.
I only use the finest Irish wet wipes thankyouverymuch
Fuck ya, I want to smell like a nuclear reactor.
Control Rod Freeze or Infinite Uranium Fuel Rod Blast?
Uranium Fuel Rod Blast for sure.
Good choice. You can tell it’s potent because you can taste it as soon as you open the bottle.
Nah, I’d rate the scent 3.5/10 - not good, not terrible
Its got to be at least a 3.6.
Ladies: Lavander Mango
MENG: ARTIC BLAST
BEAR CLAW
Sandlewood… Why do they think we want to smell like driftwood. Are we trying to attract carpenter ants?
I saw a photo of a shampoo bottle from the US once. Apparently the shampoo was tactical. I have been trying to figure out what that means.
Usually, that means it’s marketed towards insecure men. The lifted truck type of people
With truck nuts
truck nuts seem pretty cool, I have been considering them for my bicycle seat – apparently you can find ones that glow red and double as a rear light
Imagine not paying attention while in traffic and the last thing you see before the airbags deploy being a glowing red pair of nuts
Fits in your pocket?
It means using it is poor strategy. If you are Russian, also an unsuccessful operation.
Reminded me of that Mitchell and Webb ad. Not exactly the same thing, but kinda. https://youtu.be/85HT4Om6JT4
huh, different strokes for different folks i guess. Women’s hygiene stuff is fine, but I don’t really like how weak it is. My current lime/hibiscus flower or whatever flavored shower gel might smell nice, but it wears off within like an hour and I smell sweaty and gross again. But whenever I steal my husband’s generic ⚡blue⚡ shower gel it lasts an entire day (even if I feel like a middle school boy’s locker room). Same with deodorant. My husband got me my own Old Spice stick because I kept stealing his.
Women’s hygiene stuff is fine, but I don’t really like how weak it is
Really? Weak? I mean, I take HRT, so I’m a bit privileged to not smell much at all, lol. I have basically zero testosterone. All it takes it a bit of any kind of soap in the armpits for me and I just don’t smell that day, like…at all, really.
I guess “men’s” products are kinda stronger. I wouldn’t really know, but I’ve heard it before. It’s funny tho, I just wash my armpits with soap and I don’t smell for at least a day, at all, while my bf uses Old Spice 3in1 (because ofc he does…) and he smells great…but after just an hour, I can smell him again, lol. I have a good nose thanks to estrogen tho.
I totally get you on the boy’s locker room omfg 😭Also, just…weird thought, but men’s deodorant smells…good on men? Old Spice smells fucking amazing on my bf, but I could never imagine smelling like that. I’m weird tho :/
That blue shower gel hits hard, welcome!
“Military Grade” - all hair falls out. Yep it works.
Oh man I love this so much BC its true.
Feminine products are amazing, smell GREAT, and thw packaging is visually more pleasing to look at.
Men’s stuff is just… Bland. Smells like chemicals or generic “nature” scents. And ths packing is just monochromatic n bORING.
The only thing that bothers me about fem products is the girl tax/pink tax. Shaving products come to mind.
But otherwise fem products are great~~
To each this own I love the pine mixed with boar guts smell. It makes you feel like you’ve just been to a sauna in the alps then pumped iron till your packs are full or climbed a Christmas tree in the freezing snow then ate some ribs next to a warm fire.
I only buy womens shampoos and conditioner, because after a hiatus i have been growing out my hair again (already below the shoulders), and womens hair care products are in my experience a lot more viable for taking care of long hair. While they were short, i did not give much of a fuck.
I do like some male-branded shower gels tho, especially the ones with an ice effect - it just feels really nice on the skin for me, and they smell fine.
Regarding shaving i have gone back to the roots. I did get myself a safety razor, because these multiblade things were destroying my skin and it is a lot cheaper too. Only took a few shavings (and about 5ml of blood lol) to get the hang of it, similar to learning how to shave in the first place. Women, if my face is finally happy after years of torture, then these things are probably fine for you too, even when there’s no marketing for it at all!
YES all this exactly! My hair is longer than what most “men” shmpoo is cut out for, and ive been usinf femm shampoo for ages (thanks poverty and growing up with 3 sisters) so it’s a no-brainer for me.
Except I can’t tolerate the mentol-enhanced shower gels. They don’t feel good at all on my skin, but rather a burning sensation.
I agree with this so freaking much!
Feminine products are totally the best! The great smell, the pretty packaging…and fuck it, even the liquids themselves are pretty most of the time 😆
Pink tax is a biiiitch tho. And yeah, especially with shaving products. “Women’s razors” (at least, the ones I use) are a dollar more expensive, along with “women’s shaving cream” (literally what?) is way more expensive than “men’s shaving cream”? This is so dumb. We live in a patriarchyyyy 😭😭😭Fem products are the bestest 🩷
Legit don’t know why anyone would pick anything else 😂Cishet man for context. I pick manic panic shampoo and conditioner for my hair and the big cheap store vanilla gel for the body.
It’s not gendered. Both gendered versions of the products cost like 3 times more.
Yeah, cishet dude with long hair, I’ve been using women’s hair products for decades. They’re straight up just better in 99% of cases.
I am kind of partial to the male-coded body washes though, I do like wood scents. I usually use a nice sandalwood gel. But for hair stuff yeah basically all men’s products are garbage. You can sort of get away with it if you keep your hair chopped short but anything approaching shoulder length or longer, just save yourself the hassle and go to the women’s aisle.
Okay, listen…
I praise you big time for using conditioner. I don’t think I know a single man who does…also body gel? Holy shit, some men actually take care of themselves?? /s
I’m proud of you ❤️Both gendered versions of the products cost like 3 times more
👀
Time to become genderless…while in the shower 😆 /sI don’t think I know a single man who does…also body gel?
…that’s weird? I thought that’s just having a normal shower?
Shampoo for the hair, conditioner because long hair, shower gel for the body. Seriously wondering what people you’ve met in life.
Hey, good on you! ❤️
Seriously wondering what people you’ve met in life
Umm…yeah… 😅
conditioner because long hair, shower gel for the body
Uuuuuh, hello.
I don’t know how to take care of long hair. I never used conditioner, just whatever says “shampoo” sorted by price from lowest (per amount, not bottle). I wish I could just get rid of it instead, but I have large psoriasis patch at the back of my head and neck, and the hair hides it. The only purpose, otherwise I’d rather go bald.
As for shower gel, I can’t manage to wash it off with hard water, so I use bar soap. I also used to use bar soap for scalp and hair, but I figured it made the psoriasis worse.If you have any sort of knotting in your hair, conditioner softens it so you can get it out without ripping out chunks of hair.
I’m proud of you ❤️
Don’t. It’s cuz I dyed my hair. For the color to stick I really started taking care of the hair. I still shower in like 10 mins tho lol.
Still proud of you 🩷
That’s way more haircare than most men will ever doI still shower in like 10 mins tho lol
To be fair…my showers don’t take that long either, it’s really the hair drying that takes ages 😆
damn you gotta meet more gay bottoms. I think most of the ones I chat with are very good about taking care of our appearances.
I guess I’ve heard that before. Huh, that’s neat! I’m so proud of you guys, please never stop 😭🙏
This is objectively bad shampoo. I can’t even wash my car with it
I fueled it into my tractor and it started sweating
I have used dr bronners in the past, yes
never have to shower again
Some marketing claims should remain untested
