Been fitting a complete new en-suite bathroom the past few weeks so having to share the main bathroom with wife and two teenage girls.

This means having to get up half an hour earlier just to be able to get in there for a shower otherwise its about a 45 minute wait as they plan it between them whos going in next just to keep me out of there.

When I do finally manage to get in there I'm confronted by about 20 containers of shampoo, conditioners, body washes,facial scrubs etc.

Thers a shampoo for just about every scenario from greasy, non greasy,normal to greasy,anti dandruff,volume,refreshing.

Then there the conditioners as well on top of all that lot as well.

Entering into this new world of cosmetics I look for a shampoo for myself. But nope I cant find one that's for greying, falling out hair so end up using any old thing which seems to work as well as anything else anyway.

So what is it about these women that makes them have to have all these different solutions. Cant seem to work it out myself.

Before the thread gets completely out of hand, can we just clarify that these are your daughters...

I know exactly what you mean, my g/f is a colour technician for a hair salon and you should see the number of potions and pots of stuff she buys from work

Never mind the bathroom products - where on earth do you store all the Shoes.

3 Women must equate to getting of for 100 pairs of shoes (This includes your 3 pairs)

Only 100 pairs?? C'mon, be realistic

Hair products.....mmmmm, if it smells nice, has cool packaging and costs a bomb I'll buy it, I'm a sucker for the stuff

Can't believe you fail to understand how we need these things!

And which halfwit designs toiletry bottles Whoever thinks bottles with a high centre of gravity and a miniscule point of contact (base) will be useful in a place with uneven, slippery, wet surfaces, where your vision may be hampered (soap in eyes) and have wet hands wants dragging out into the street to be shot Why can't they be shaped so's they stand upright easily and are difficult to knock over, instead of one false move resulting in an attempt at the world record for domino toppling

I'll buy the shampoo if you'll be the sucker

Oops, just noticed a flaw in my plan...
I'm a serious tight wad

Tip - get cheap pump dispensers or use old hand soap ones - decant the necessaries into them.

Our lass seems to get a different brand of shampoo every time we go shopping. Trouble is, she can't just have the shampoo, she has to have the corresponding conditioner too which means we have about a dozen half empty bottles of conditioner in our bathroom

little does she know I keep topping them up with one another to stop he buying more...

I should note I have more stuff than she does.

I do that too Why are they incapable of using the last bit of the old stuff before opening the new stuff

When I used to live at home the bain of my life was using the shower after my sister or mother..... the floor was coated with the remains of the 500 ml of conditioner they 'have' to use!! each time! The number of times I almost cracked my skull due to almost doing a 360 backward flip is something I don't miss!!

The answer to that is very simple....clever marketing. They make a bottle that looks really cool, and is totally impracticable. Daft women go out and buy it cos its "cool" and "expensive", and then they fall victim to the second stage of the plot. Its made to fall over so you have to buy some more.

Those marketing boys really do know what they are doing.......

Our bathroom is wall to wall 'product', I have a tin of shaving foam...actually I have 3 cos it was on 3 for 2, my razor, toothpaste and brush and my shower gel. My shower gel always gets pushed to the back and some potions in pink bottles have encroached onto my one shelf!

What I don't get is, all this 'product' that's so amazing, why can't it keep hair in her head and out of the plug hole?

Yeah, women buy all this crap to smear on themselves, how come I have better skin and hair than my missus ?

It is more even than you think, she has 100 bottles of lotions, potions and other stuff in the bathroom, I have about 3 items but you should see the garage, I even have A4 drawers for different grades of sandpaper !
