No, because I don't hang out with people who are the target audience for these products(insecure manbabies). Might as well ask me if sports team-related products aren't real because I've never bought them and don't know people who buy sports team crap.

e: Seriously though, some of the Manly Man Products For Men brands have been available for years and a few of them have even made it into physical stores. Somebody is buying this poo poo.

My favorite are the Manly Man bath/body products that reassure men they won't turn gay or have their balls shrivel up if they use a loofah(excuse me, shower tool) or moisturize(it's okay because it smells like gunpowder, tobacco, and bacon!).

My husband was looking online for a cleaning product for woodworking. And that's how we discovered sawdust-scented soap.

Well. Sawdust is a pretty nice smell, so ok? Not as if Sandalwood hasn't been a fairly well known fragrance for a long time.

You've got it all wrong, the camo tuxedos are for literal shotgun weddings.

When my dad died my friends sent me a basket from some bro basket company. It was like 10 different airplane bottles of whiskey, some high end jerky, and a thing of hot nuts. It was cool, but it wasn't trying to be anything cutesy, just "sorry man get drunk and be sure to eat something."

Man soap is specifically formulated for a man, much in the same way shampoo and deodorants lose their effectiveness when used by people they aren’t intended for. As an example, my soap says it can be used for shaving whilst my wife’s soap doesn’t say it can be used for shaving. Feel free to PM me.

It's short for that, actually. And yeah, the ads not only play up the "MANLY SOAP, FOR MEN" angle, but they also use homophobic dogwhistles in their ads, as well as other markers of toxic masculinity, with a little sprinkling of "those are detergents, THIS IS SOAP, IT'S NATURAL, LIKE NATURE, NOT CHEMICALS" so yeah, gently caress Dr. Squatch because I see those lovely ads before every video if I don't have an adblock on.

Body wash is very popular with Sailors of the U.S. Navy, and men in general, it can only be applied properly using a pouf or loofah, which is a little gay, but the Axe Brand Body Tool (really a pouf and loofah in one) is 0% gay, so yes poo poo like that is very common.

E: I have a "sawdust" and a "2x4" scented candle, and they smell delightful.

I actually liked the body tool. The fingergrips were nice and I liked the reversability. Only seen it once though, so I'm back to bath puffs.

Back when I had my own shower, it had a bottle of shampoo/conditioner and a bottle of body wash in it. Cleaning it took like 2 minutes with a rag soaked in bleach. Now that I’m married, it takes twice that long just to get all the stuff out.
