What's the silliest 'Man' product you've ever seen?

[Sayyouwill]

I'm soooo sick of seeing really normal things that need to have a 'man twist' on them.
DH just picked up a bottle of 'men's shower gel' and I was like WTF?! Why is it 'mens'? Why do they need their own shower gel? Is their general body grime different than women's? Why do we need to make things 'manly'? AIBU to be incredibly frustrated by this?

DP and I share deodorant... it's usually whichever version of Mitchum is on offer at the time we need it. They smell a bit different but I can confirm work just the same!

I recommend the man washer we have one and I always use it
Saw penis soap once. I think it was in menkind.

Yorkie, it's not for girls.
Yes it is. Now hand it over nicely and piss off.

I like my pink tools

Radox are shits for this. All their men’s shower gel are called things like wild, strong, active, heroic. The women’s all say pamper or relax.

This is a good place to ask something which has bothered me for many years.

Ahem...

Are men's man size tissues designed with wanking in mind? And if so how do they differ from usual tissues other than the size?

Everything on this website is hilarious

I'm actually bloody glad they put "for men" on bottles of shower gel etc

I can NOT be arsed to go round sniffing all the bottles and figuring out if black pepper and fig is actually going to smell nice on or if I'll smell like a teenage boy.

I moved in with a boyfriend who had a Black and Decker iron

My DH hated that Lynx scrunchie thing, he has sensitive skin and it was like using sandpaper.

I saw the other day some product for men that smelt like tobacco... I mean.. why? Who in their own mind would want to smell like tobacco!! I remember the times when a shower gel was a shower gel full stop, no added perfumes for men or women. I guess that now they sell two items instead of one, but it is annoying.

I am going to complain of the opposite too, I wanted thick socks for boots and all the ones aimed at women were cotton thin. Had to get them from the men's section and labelled as JBC men or something like that

I agree with pp that some of the silliest stuff might be food "for men", such as crisps or chocolate.

I laugh at how the advertising tries to masculinise products typically sold to women, just so they can sell them too to men. An example is the Nivea moisturiser advert, which needed a few footballers to prove how manly moisturising the face is... All that is different to another Nivea moisturiser is probably the few drops of essence that they put to make it "a different product"

Manly moisturisers, I have visions of a factory where they have a production line of folks painting pots of Pond's cold cream grey, blue, and white.

I obviously need to get out more!

I dumped my boyfriend tonight because he smelt of flowers when he should have been stinking of grit, mud and rage.

I'm more annoyed by the 'women's Bic pens' I don't like the colour pink anyway and as a writer who the hell actually cares as long as the pen works and can be replaced cheaply and easily. Ugh.

I did however buy a men's facial cleanser and it barely does anything. DH is better off using my teatree scrub from The Body Works. Smells better and it actually does the job.

Tobacco is a nice smell, often used in perfumes. It’s when you smoke tobacco it smells rotten 😉

Silliest product - nail varnish for men. Called nail armour. Colours were called stuff like battle gray I think.

Beard Oil. If you'd like to pay £30 for 30mls of almond oil, simply grow a beard.

Tobacco smells like raisins to me

Mens Kleenex (IME) survive the washing machine intact , luckily, because my DS (nearly an official Man) cannot be arsed checking his pockets (I always do for the sake of the washing machne, but if one manages to sneak in, it won;t cover the whole wash in tissue)

And Below-The-Belt products.
'Nuff said

DH rejects all man products out of hand and smells of raspberry shampoo and palmers cocoa butter body lotion.

His penis has yet to shrivel up and fall off.

Men's hair wax is pretty bizarre... it's a little pot of wax!

@TheRadiantAerynSun does your DH use the same stuff as you or does he choose his own? Coz you mentioning that has reminded me of the fact that my DH uses my lovely smelling shaving foam for himself as it smells nicer and works better... I've not used it since he tried it. It's too much effort for me while I'm pregnant. 😂

Bollock powder.

Baby carriers. FOR MEN. Super strong, tough, look like bullet proof police vests.

Because we women don't care if our carriers are strong enough to be safe, as long as they look soft and silky.

I saw a men's cereal bar earlier today. It was covered with in all sorts of manly buzzwords like "Carb Killer" and "Chocolate Chaos". Pleasingly, it was twice the price of the standard cereal and protein bar next to it.

You can find this abomination in WH Smith if you feel so inclined.

DH has a Phillips 'Man Iron' courtesy of a MN tester thingy. I don't complain about that because it means 5 years on he's still doing the ironing!

We use the and soap, shower gel, shaving foam - I don't understand bothering to buy one each. We also often share the same razor. DH doesn't know that though.

While pregnant with my oldest I had an unhealthy obsession with yorkies just at the time of the "their not for girls adverts and packets were about. I nearly had a fight with a man in a petrol station who put it to one side and shook his head saying "that's not for you". I snarled to just give me the bloody yorkie and he quickly scanned it through when he saw the hormonal rage in my eyes.
