Do you buy anything marketed to men that is just as good, or better than the "womens" version?

Socks, Pyjamas (Dunnes https://www.dunnesstores.com/men/clothing/pyjamas?page=2 )

Pajamas
Socks (mens thermal ones are way better than womens and actually come up your leg)
Jumpers - if I can get them small enough, they're always warmer.
Dressing gown - again, warmer.
T shirts - always seem to be slightly thicker cotton and better quality (and M&S womens never fit quite right!)
Walking trousers, waterproof coat.

Why do women’s tops have elastane in them? It shows off our lumps n bumps more

Bloody disgraceful that women’s clothes have a lack of pockets. We don’t need to take our bags out for a walk!

Mens everything apart from jeans / underwear.
Better made, better smelling, and cheaper.

Edit - Im 5'9 with mens size 8/9 feet anyway.

I have DS walking trousers from when he went on his last school trip. Nicely lined and very warm with lots of zip pockets! i really enjoy them. Been wearing them now going on about 4yrs.

Men's bicycle - they are much stronger and sturdier than women's bikes. This was confirmed to me by a worker in a bike shop

Reading this thread another menopausal change that stands out is shaving. I'm agog at the amount of shaving going on. Since menopause I might shave my legs twice a year and I have no underarm hair.

I've remembered another thing I buy, men's walking trousers - the sort that dry fast with lots of zip pockets. I also have lots of DS1s cast off gym clothing.

Yes, the Vapor Gloves in the pale grey/blue. They don't seem to do it the women's any more. But I've been wearing them ( different pairs/colours) for about 15 years and had no problems. I like the Vibram sole. I wear them day in day out. The grey pair I've got now are a couple of years old and still in really good condition but my feet have spread!

Me too ( safety razor). Blades are a standard size and I bought a pack from the Turkish barbers in town really cheaply . It feels good not to be using plastic disposables and does a way better job.

Interested in multivits (currently get one that is designed for women but am wondering if its just the same stuff as men get, maybe with folate added?)
No, do not touch anything "medically" designed for men as they really do have genetically different needs/requirements to women. It's not about adding different things but about different amounts.

I prefer mens razors (Bic), socks, t-shirt, fleeces, trainers, slippers and coats. Not tried their deodorant yet...

I am 5' 9 with size 8 feet so prefer men's clothing. It actually fits the length of my body, arms and legs. Men's pajamas are so much more comfortable than the women's ones I have had.

I have clothes from all departments in my wardrobe! If it fits, is well made, has enough freaking pockets (!) and I like it, I don't care whether it's marketed for men, women, boys or girls.

Socks and pyjamas

I'm relieved I'm not the only one getting hand me downs from their children - my son's 11 and not quite tall enough for his old clothes to fit me, but his feet are bigger than mine so I have lots of his old socks and was very happy to borrow his sliders on holiday. And I am thinking carefully about what clothes I get for him now to maximise their second life potential!

@carconcerns generally cheap grey ones from ASOS 🤣

I've had men's shorts for walking. They were longer, had plenty of pockets and were hard wearing. Women's ones tend to be too skimpy with useless pockets (or worse - those 'pretend' ones.)

I bought men’s ASICS trainers as they were so much cheaper, but I do find that my foot slides forward, so had to buy an insole. Although women’s are narrower I will go back to them, as they actually hold my foot better.
I now always buy men’s socks, much better quality.
Just for men to dye my eyebrows.

Are you looking at the vapor gloves? I found the soles wore out disappointingly quickly, particularly on concrete, so i only wear mine in the gym now. My husband's trail gloves have worn out quickly too. The rubber they've used in the vibram soles just ain't that durable.

Men’s shorts. Need be elasticated waist as button/flies doesn’t fit well.

The men’s short shorts go on the knee. Women’s are too short for me and ride up

M&S do a nice sandalwood perfume. It’s £16 for two bottles( one travel sized) and it’s so good.

Pyjamas. I'm not even that tall at 5'7 but women's ones are always ankle swingers. Mens pjs are better. And yes to the joggers/sweats. Mens are way better quality for some reason

My tall daughter lives in clothes from the men's section. She's tall and likes practical stuff and complains about all lack of real pockets in women's clothing.

She also prefers men's deodorants because they tend to gave more neutral scents.

I use "men's" shaving stuff. I use a safety razor and traditional soap and brush. There is a brand of shaving soap that charges £11 for standard shaving soap and then £13 for what seems to be exactly the same product in different packaging "for girls". Ive let the side down somewhat though and bought a razor handle based on the colour (which was in the women's section- sorry!). At least they havent tried to repackaged the blades based on gender.
