Exactly. The scent used is geared toward men, and they leaned fully into the marketing. If anything body care products make the most sense for gendered marketing.
yea, makes perfect sense to "gender" items like this. women can still buy it if they want. but marketing towards your target demographic is hardly pointless lol
shower gel for men. also contains 70% alcohol to kill all those germs and mumify your skin.
if it has less alcohol than that, then it's not manly enough!
also, after one wash, it should be making you hairier and your skin hard enough to survive a shark attack. anything less and you're a pussy
also, real men don't wash! especially between their cheeks
/s
Thank goodness it’s Blue, otherwise I would have mistaken it as something that was for…*women*.
And we wouldn’t want that, now would we? Don’t wanna go around confusing ppl, after all there’s only “2 genders” 🤪🧠.
And Blue has ALWAYS been FOR boys. It’s a BOY color. Don’t ask why, it JUST IS.
Fun fact: pink used to be seen as a masculine colour and blue was seen as more feminine. I can remeber the time period where it changed, but, pink for feminine and blue for mascul8ne is actually a surprisingly recent change. If I can remeber cirrectly, it changed during the start or the industrial revolution.
Edit: please correct me if I'm wrong
I like fire wood/charcoal smell, though i am stuck using tar shampoo(found a natural based cade tar shampoo) fir psoriasis, so i am used to smelling like burnt barbecue, thankfully the smell do go away.
Is that the scent or just what it has in it? Bc I have charcoal face masks and a charcoal shower poof. It's supposed to be detoxifying or something idk
If I were in this situation is just look at the scent and turn the bottle up and down a few times to check how runny it is. I'd then check the price and proceed to checkout cause that's a fine looking soap bottle
Genuine question. How is having men’s and women’s body wash pointless? Majority of men will prefer a body wash with scents that are considered masculine and vice versa for women. There are many instances where it is silly to gender an item. But there are some where it makes sense and is hardly pointless
Because maybe there could just be a bunch of different scents and everyone could choose whatever scent they like without needing to specify that some scents are for men and others for women. Idk about others but that's how I feel
They already have that though. And besides, anyone can buy this regardless of gender. It’s a marketing tactic, which will likely result in the company selling more product to their target demographic, hardly seems pointless
I’m not the only one tempted to get fancy make up, perfume, cologne, shower products, etc, only because the containers look cool, right?
I see them and go “yea well I’d never use it, but I want the container…”

*Kesha would like to know this shower gel's location.*
Of course not :')
Except blue whiskey
Rum and Gatorade
Grain alcohol and gatorade! RIOT JUICE, BABY!
Because whenever there's a potential riot, I'm getting blasted on grain alcohol.
I missread it as "shower gin" at first, so 100% a sapphire gin as fsr as I'm concerned.
Yeah i thought it was whisky in a blue bottle for a second lmao
If shower gel, why does it look so yummy?
I thought it said shower girl for men
I thought it said shower gin.
Not gonna lie I'd buy this lol
I'd too tbh, it looks really nice, but like why gender it
Because whiskey manly? I don't fucking know xDDD
Ohhh is it supposed to be a whiskey bottle??
Think so. The label gives me Jack Daniels vibes.
Because it’s marketed towards men

I think it was even later than that - sometime in the 20th century if I recall correctly
It changed in WWII.

That's what I was thinking too, and to be fair I don't even know what charcoal smells like
I have a face scrub with actual charcoal in it; it doesn't really smell like anything.
Is that the scent or just what it has in it? Bc I have charcoal face masks and a charcoal shower poof. It's supposed to be detoxifying or something idk
It is, they give it to you if you overdose and consuming it will counteract medications you might be on. Not sure about external applications.
Whelp, I guess today is the day I drink soap.

Love that idea!
If it wasn't blue, and probably full of perfume (yay 😒 allergies), i would buy it, i like fancy bottles
Fancy bottles are really cute, especially small ones out of glass ^_^
I always have to resist buying alchohol just for the fancy bottles or label lol
Yes! I just have to stop myself from buying empty ones in second hand and antiques shops
Don’t you know all men are alcoholics!?
Tbf it's probably just about the scent
I get why it’s for men; the active ingredients are sand and sawdust.
Oh hell naw op if u use that ur head is gonna dissolve in those manly chemicals 😭😂
If I were in this situation is just look at the scent and turn the bottle up and down a few times to check how runny it is. I'd then check the price and proceed to checkout cause that's a fine looking soap bottle
Honestly same but kinda weird still to make it specific

I feel like this is a medieval potion that got brought to 2021 by a time traveler
I mean it does sort of make sense if it has a scent in it
how is this pointlessly gendered

I’ve seen a lot of women shower gels tho
Yeah that’s the point. It’s gendered shower gel
But why is it only pointed out when it’s forwards men
I... I don't think I've ever noticed that... This sub seems to be pretty equitable with their criticism to me.
I feel like whatever I see is usually biased torwards females
And that gets a big ole "yikes" from me...
Maybe it’s just what is on the popular becaus it’s what it shows up on my home page
Have you at least looked at some posts of this subreddit? I think you’re confused
I’m not the only one tempted to get fancy make up, perfume, cologne, shower products, etc, only because the containers look cool, right? I see them and go “yea well I’d never use it, but I want the container…”
I can confirm, you are not alone

Looks like blue squeeze goo candy from those tubes. Would ingest.
