Just seen this on Twitter.

For those who like their Ginger Shampoo, can I suggest MooGoo.

Also, Aveeno is a good replacement for their Shea butter.

Other thoughts welcome. Feel free to suggest other ideas.

I actually think that I fart more than I menstruate. It’s much more consistent throughout the month.

*Menstruates
And other rage typos.

GinGin this evening.

Well, that's a bummer because I have to use to use sunscreen and theirs isn't greasy and comes in handy little tubes.

I'm out of there. 'Menstuators'. God give me strength.

@ClaraEccles

Here’s how the Body Shop apparently responded to one email...

Speechless.

Sooo late to the party, my apologies.

But... FFS

Loving the reviews!

Lordfrontpaw · 13/06/2020 16:04

Their chat doesn’t seem to be working. Did someone break it?

Gibbonsgibbonsgibbons · 13/06/2020 13:30

Excellent reviews Grin

YinMnBlue · 13/06/2020 13:23

Until they rename their “shaving for men” and “skincare for men” sections, they have NO business commenting on menstruating for women.

Laughable hypocrisy.

skybluee · 13/06/2020 13:12

Their products are terrible anyway. You imagine them to be healthy, organic, environmentally friendly but if you look at the ingredients they're often no better than supermarket items. I've always thought it's all a bit false.

Sexnotgender I especially love your "please educate yourselves and do better".

Oh, I wish Man Friday were still active. They were geniuses.

The 95% is not scientific but based on my most recent (early March) trip to my local shop. DH stood in front of a shelf for him, the rest of the shop seemed aimed at me or, being generous, everyone.

Well - they don’t really understand though do they?

Cismyfatarse1 · 13/06/2020 12:42

Yes. But not one mention.

Lordfrontpaw · 13/06/2020 12:36

Well I guess the assumption is that it’s for women unless otherwise mentioned. That’s a very generous interpretation.

Have you seen the videos / screenshots searching for the word women on the Body Shop site?

0 for women

64 mentions of men

So, assuming 95% of their products, roughly, are aimed at women, why not a single mention?

These are brilliant - loving the comments about being triggered by the word "men" etc Grin

sleepydragons · 13/06/2020 10:28

I may have just reviewed their product for men. When I registered I got an email stating 'there is something for everyone at the Body Shop' - oh the irony Grin

littlbrowndog · 13/06/2020 10:10

Lol 😂

Lordfrontpaw · 13/06/2020 08:36

Did I mention trust pilot? Come on now, own up - which one of you was it? Adrienne...

Anotherlovelybitofsquirrel · 13/06/2020 08:07

@Sexnotgender that's brilliant Grin

Sexnotgender · 13/06/2020 07:50

Finding this quite cathartic.
