Why?

Just picked up one of the ones I regularly buy and have noticed it now has MEN written upon it.

This has annoyed my two fold

  1. if it's Radox MEN is it only to be used by Men in a bath rather than a man. It will be cramped.

  2. it's bubble bath ..... It doesn't need gender assigning. It never has before. Radox are being twats.

Anyway, I'm in it now. My ovaries haven't fallen out and I've not been arrested by the bath police but

AIBU not to buy Radox again until they stop being silly?

They're good if you need a proctological scouring - but how often is that necessary?

OOh no. I don't want a gritty bum. reminds me of the bath cubes my Mum used to have. Sad

I had a teenage phase of Bath Pearls which were full of oil and turned the bottom of the bath into a slick.

HoneyDragon · 22/10/2015 20:12

Oh I'd forgotten about bath cubes I loved those.

Grin Honey. My Mum always had some for Christmas, and i thought they were v exotic. usually with matching talc thing that came with a powder puff. I thought that was v glamorous.

Passmethecrisps · 22/10/2015 20:16

Oh I loved bath pearls. And salt and cubes and bombs and anything which goes in the bath.

Weirdly I am not that much of a fan of baths

MistressMerryWeather · 22/10/2015 20:17

I like DH to smell manly, even when he's having a bubble bath.

Can't you smell the manlyness?!

Sparklingbrook · 22/10/2015 20:18

Merry gritty Christmas Mum

What's a bath cube? I used to love the perals till I squeezed one too hard and it popped in my face. I was young and foolish

Oh, yer all talking about bath cubes now.

I'm getting cystitis just thinking about them.

MistressMerryWeather · 22/10/2015 20:22

I thought men were supposed to smell of sawdust, petrol and cigars?

KurriKurri · 22/10/2015 20:22

A bath cube is a bit like a bath bomb but cube shaped, more compacted and not fizzy. They sit in the bottom of the bath not dissolving unless you squeeze them into little pieces. They usually smell of unmanly things such as lavender, lily of the valley and violets. They were something I only got at Christmas and were a great joy of childhood.

HoneyDragon · 22/10/2015 20:32

Perhaps bath cubes could be rebranded FOR MEN, then they can have manly gritty baths and not worry about cystitis.

Men bath cubes would be the size of bricks, contain little shards of granite, and would smell of cedar-musk and wet sheep.

Dd1 likes the red one (muscle therapy?) so I picked her up a bottle when in town the other day as she'd run out. I noticed that it now has MEN on it and was a bitHmm as it's never had it on before and we've been buying it for years...... is it only men who need a muscle soak now?

Senpai · 22/10/2015 20:41

Are these bubbles made of steel and bacon scented?

No?

Not manly enough. Try again Radox.

HoneyDragon · 22/10/2015 20:43

Yes muscle soak is now for men but the stress relief ones are for all the sexes.

I'll be getting some of that for DH's stocking. He loves a bubble bath, doesn't care if it's bubbles for man, woman or beast. I can't stand it, gives you thrush and I never have a bath anyway.

LavenderRain · 22/10/2015 21:17

DH has a manwasher Grin Lynx shite I have used it, and haven't grown a penis as yet.

sparkling I remember that stuff! My nan used to buy it, was it Avon?

Passmethecrisps · 22/10/2015 21:35

Can chaps get cystitis?

UterusUterusGhali · 22/10/2015 21:37

What really grinds my gears, besides the pathetic sexism, is that the "men's" version of the shower gel has a hook built into the bottle but the "laydeeee" sort doesn't. Angry

What, women can hold the fucking bottle like a chump?
Is that all we're good for? Holding fucking stuff that people with dicks can't?

EH?
