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

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~~
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.
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 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 ❤️
👀
Time to become genderless…while in the shower 😆 /s
…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! ❤️
Umm…yeah… 😅
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.
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 do
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 😭🙏
