(AFP) - Hygiene products / beauty for women sold in supermarkets are on average 4% higher than for men, although the differences are most notable for razors or shower gels, revealed on Tuesday a study MonsieurDrive com.
Last November, the feminist collective Georgette Sand denounced "unfair" price differences between men and women for certain products, such as razors or services, such as hairdressers and dry cleaners. The government had mandated the DGCCRF to investigate the results of which have still not been published.
The price comparison MonsieurDrive.com it has conducted surveys of prices of 52 products (26 for women, 26 for men) hygiene / beauty in 2,200 stores 7 stores. These surveys were conducted between 19 and 26 March from prices displayed on the drive sites (internet orders removal at shop) dispensers where rates are generally the same as those proposed in radius.

Additional costs of women also appear on the face creams (9.9 euros for 50 ml for women against 9.1 for men) or shower gels (1.9 euro against 1.6 euro).
Conversely, a blue tax also exists on several products, such as shampoos (2.9 euros for a woman, 3 euros for a man) or deodorants, in which men pay on average 28% more than women .
The study, however, focused on similar products for men and women, and therefore do not take into account any "hidden costs" associated with femininity. Thus cotton, makeup remover, lipstick, etc., not including personal hygiene products, are not included in the results.
