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 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 😂

      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.
