What environmentally friendly products are marketed solely towards men?

I've ordered some reusable period underwear in preparation for a coil fitting (because I know I'll have heavier periods with a coil), and it's occurred to me that I've never seen environmentally friendlier products marketed solely towards men in the way that period products are. What would they market solely towards men? Which products are exclusively used/bought by men?

Just thought this was an interesting discussion-point, not least because the majority of delegates (world leaders) at any COP summit have been men (please correct me if I'm wrong!).

Interesting question. I can't think of any.

The eco store by me says bamboo razers and men's washable incontinence pants, but it is an eco store. I think Nivea do a greenish men's deodorant

Women also use razors. Men's and women's incontinence pants may differ slightly in shape but they're not really separate product categories. And men's/women's deodorant is purely a marketing trick.

Probably as close as it gets, though.

biodegradable condoms

There are very few products that are exclusively used by men. 5 in 1 shower gel maybe?

Apart from period products I can't think of anything else for women either though.
I use an eco refill store and most of the products I can think of are used by both e.g. toothbrushes.

Beard oils/balms/shampoos/conditioners/etc. It's a pretty big market with loads of small 'artisan' businesses charging eye watering prices for a small bottle of seed oil with a bit of jojoba or something.

Very much like craft beer.
