11 Grooming Products You Should Swipe From Your GuyThe products that are just as good and sometimes even cheaper than the women's version |
If you've ever swiped your husband or boyfriend's toiletries to use for yourself, you know that many of their products work just as well -- or even better -- as your own. Surprisingly, many women's products cost more and aren't necessarily better than the men's version, with the only difference being packaging. Sure, the idea is that each gender's allocated products cater to the needs and preferences of the sex that they're geared towards, but when it comes down to the nitty-gritty, most of these products are almost identical.
Although, the sad truth is that while men and women's toiletries may be created equally, they certainly don't match when it comes to their in-store value. According to U.S. News & World Report, women pay a premium price for products (think razors or shower gel
that are essentially exactly the same as their male counterparts. Talk about unfair.
Considering that many men's products are just as efficient and possibly even cheaper than their feminine equivalents, we can't help but want to cycle a few male toiletries into our routine. So, save a few bucks by either borrowing these awesome products from your guy or purchasing them on your own. Either way, you won't be disappointed.

I am definitely purchasing some of these items. The men's shaving creams and razors are much better than the women's. Might even try the aftershave.

I agree: CK One was definitely unisex, as was CK Be.

I didn't realize styptic pencils were gender specific! Most of these items would not be used by my man, and really just seem like masculine versions of products already used by women. Interesting to read but not very informative.

Yeah, CK One is not a male fragrance. I remember when it came out, it was pretty popular. The it's One fragramce for men and women. I was actually just wondering if it still exixted, I smelled someone the other day that smelled like CK One.
