I find I NEED anti antiperspirant, otherwise I'm just dripping all over from the arm pits, which is pretty gross. I only buy the white solid too, not a fan of the gel or other types. Downside is it's probably not that good for me because of the aluminium. Apparently too much exposure to it can cause alzeimers.

Nope. That's been poo-poo'd for like, 15+ years now.

Wipes are an example of obsolescence and misery being good for business.

Plumbers are smiling every time in places with no roots to deal with.

These things should be taxed like cigarettes or alcohol.

A lot of advertising is based on appealing to insecurities and then providing the fix. Men have plenty of insecurities, just as women do, so yes, they will be targeted by advertising.

Also, a girl I know who works at a school in NYC, had her office closed on Friday when someone flushed a baby wipe in a toilet on the floor above her, and it literally started raining poop water down below. Those baby wipes can be quite disruptive. I wonder if it was a baby wipe targeted to men? They are thicker so that they can deal with big manly buttholes.
