If you’re a woman, you may be paying more for a range of products than men are.The practice is called gender pricing, where men and women are charged different amounts for similar products and services.

On sites like walgreens.com, Dial shower gels for men are priced online, while women’s body washes are priced per store, making it harder to see gender pricing. At Duane Reade, there’s an 18% difference between Nivea men’s and women’s body wash. Because ladies really need something called “Touch of Serenity” 18% more.

Would you go out with a woman who smells like a man?Not to sound stand-offish here Sal, but knowing what you know now, isn't the simple answer to pick these products in the men's aisle?
no a perfectly reasonable question CMNot to sound stand-offish here Sal, but knowing what you know now, isn't the simple answer to pick these products in the men's aisle?
bingo, that used to be an issue as Das saysWould you go out with a woman who smells like a man?

it is becoming much easier now that so many products have gone scentless...the problem before used to be smelling like a guy's commercial, but there have always been items which could be purchased such as instead of little pink razors I use Mennon which not only were/are heavier and easier to grip but last way, way longer.
sadly also, I find the quality of many men's products to be far superior to the female version
yes, same ingredients, different perfumes, big price differenceWomen do get the sh*t end of the stick when it comes to things like make-up and what not.
Me and the g/f would go to the store for the necessary and she'd walk out with a small bag (I mean tiny) of specialty things and spent North of $80.... That and hair cuts.... Roughly $25 for me and she's in over $200.
For that kind of money, I'd expect a happy ending

a lipstick can run over $20.00
face creams can run over $200.00 and they too will have the same ingredients as the cheaper creams with a large base of the creams having the same compounds which are.......vaseline petroleum jelly and lanolin...same with foot creams...throw on some veaseline petroleum jelly at night and no more rough heels OR you can go get your peddy for $60 or more every three weeks
economy scams
cleaning products are another scam
I used to have 20 different products, try this, try that, and it's all harsh chemical...after a day of bleaching and cleaning my nose would run and my hands would be raw
then I discovered essential oils...they have a natural antibacterial property
buy some atomizer bottles and a huge jug of white vinegar
water, vinegar, essential oil such as peppermint mixed together, costs pennies and will kill most household germs on the counters, the floors, the walls, will leave mirrors and windows streak free and are better for the animals and for us
I still use bleach now and then but nothing like all that stuff I used to use and at a fraction of the cost
if the house smells like a spring garden your lungs are inhaling pure chemical...I love the smell of fresh mint or lavendar now
yes, vinegar is a wonderful cleaner...I need the essential oil to change the odor and I'm good to go...I will also put a bit of dish detergent into the bucket to give it that soapy bitNo doubt about that.
Keeping it simple is the best way to go... The vinegar deal is one I have used for a long time, that and putting a little muscle into things rather than rely on some caustic substance to ease the work load... Too many nasties makes life more work in the end.
Change and/or clean the air filter on your furnace periodically and get a good vacuum... Carpets are one of the least sanitary places in any house.
Keeping the dust down from the start goes a long way
