If you ever felt like women's version of
products cost more than men's versions,
you might be right.
Could you be paying higher
prices because you're female?
Shocking, right?
Put your boxing gloves on, because we've
got several rounds of products that will
duke it out to the finish.
This is Battle of the Products.
>> [APPLAUSE]
[MUSIC]
[SOUND] [APPLAUSE] Now studies show
women universally make less than men.
But ironically,
women spend more at the register.
>> True.
>> Now this is an ongoing problem
that gives the same battle of the sexes,
a whole new meaning.
Let's get to the battle.
Round one!
>> [APPLAUSE] [SOUND]
>> [LAUGH]
>> Tamara, tell us about-
>> I'm so proud of this.
>> The competitors.
>> I love you, Loni.
>> [LAUGH]
>> Be careful.
>> Okay, for this round, we have something
that both men and women use on a regular.
Whether you're shaving your legs, or
your beard, they both do the same thing.
Remove hair.
But, if a woman buys
the razor marketed to her,
she'll pay an average cost of $8.90,
while men are paying a lower
price of $7.99 on average.
That's an 11% cost difference.
What could possibly cost 91 cents more?
Maybe because we've got
more body parts to shave?
That's not a valid reason, so if you're
not picky, save yourself a few dollars,
and buy the men's razor.
Trust me.
Your legs won't even know the difference.
>> Yeah.
>> And some even say, you'll get a closer
shave, which means smoother skin.
>> That's right.
>> You be the judge.
I do it all the time.
>> Wow!
Looks like Mia won round one.
Okay, time for round two!
[SOUND]
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> Jeanie, battle it out.
>> Okay,
coming to the ring to battle it out,
next are the skin hydrating
potions that heal dry skin.
In the women's corner,
her lotion comes in at
an average price of $8.25, and the men's
lotion you ask, well, they sell for
$7.43 on average,
that's a price difference of 11%,
as well, what is up with that,
that doesn't make sense.
What's the difference in most cases?
Well, fragrances.
But again, lotion is lotion.
I mean,
we don't really care about the smell,
we just wanna make sure our
elbows aren't ashy, right?
>> [LAUGH]
>> If you're a female, you don't wanna
smell like a man, but you can save money
by looking for scentless men's products.
I just put this on.
It smells divine.
And add your own essential oil
to your fragrance at home.
Ha ha.
>> Smart.
>> Smart, Jeanie.
[APPLAUSE] The men won again.
Okay, we're gonna have one last round.
I'm the ring girl.
[SOUND] [APPLAUSE] [CROSSTALK]
Who's in the ring now?
>> All right.
While women are paying more when
it comes to hair products, too.
And this side, we're comparing
the price up, shampoo and conditioner.
So coming in at a whopping $8.39,
are women's shampoo and conditioner,
while men are only paying.
What?
$5.68,
they are paying 38% less than we are.
Us ladies again, love our shampoo and
conditioner, to have a heavenly scent.
But guess what, with just a few drops
of essential oil, you guys can actually
get a scentless version of men's shampoo
and conditioner, and that'll do the trick.
>> [APPLAUSE]
>> Other than that, you're paying for,
is just pretty packaging, you guys.
Looks like the men have a huge advantage
when it comes to spending, but
we as women can still beat
the system by playing their game.
