price gouging for men’s

posted by: BulgingAZ

There is a crazy price gouge for men’s items in comparison to women’s. Any store, brands, and even online. For example a basic swim brief made of nylon/spandex blend for men runs in the $20ish range at best. In the women’s department, find the same fabric, similar look, but the prices are way marked down, I even seen some at $2 a pair! They fit pretty much the same, usually get a size bigger to accomodate the front, and removing the polyester liner allows more stretch for the nylon/spandex. Wondering what thoughts you all have over this? Surely you have witnessed it. And if not, check out the women’s section, you’re welcome, thank me later 😄 Also interested in trades and deals if you have any you know of.

Hey I hear you on trying to be thrifty when shopping but i think it’s generally knows that women actually pay a ‘pink tax’, just a premium on similar items. I can find swim briefs/bikinis/thongs for around 20-23 and women might pay >100 for something of comparable quality. If you’re going to TJX or other similar discount/value stores, maybe women’s items are priced down but in full price i think it’s the opposite. Just sharing my findings and observations!
