Why are personal hygiene items so expensive?

A friend of mine did advertising for a razor company; apparently, they are designed to wear out quickly so you have to buy more. I've heard safety razors are a great alternative but haven't worked up the courage to try them yet! |

| How many people complaining here about the cost of these items think nothing of dropping $5+ for their daily Starbucks? |

Not me. I get a Starbucks once every other week or so. I pack my own snacks and drinks to take to work. |

I like Kotex tampons the best, and they are the cheapest on the market, like $3 on sale or $3.50 for 18ct superplus. I think the liners are too much, so I get the care one (giant brand) on sale $2 for 60ct. I get creative and use two at a time in place of tampons to save $, or if worried about leaks. |

My brother works for Kimberly-Clark and brings me cases and of toilet paper, tampons, paper towel, Kleenex, and diapers every time he visits 
Now I need a relative who works for Proctor and Gamble or somewhere for things like toothpaste and laundry detergent. |

Good bra cost over a $100. I am fine with that, I made my peace with that.
But why a piece of plastic with bristles , a toothbrush, cost $9 ? I don't get it. And I can't use any of off the shelf deodorants, they are sticky or leave disgusting powder behind. When I see a woman in sleeveless dress raising an arm with the powder filled lines and folds its just aggghhh...barf. I have to shop euro or designer deo for that reason , and they are expensive. |

Why? Because it's really a sand paper? |

Yup. I bought silicone a diva cup for $20-30 almost 10 years ago and it works perfectly still. |
