Is there an actual medical reason to have different laxatives for men and women, or is this a weird marketing thing?

[–] capital5@discuss.tchncs.de 46 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I'm not a doctor, but maybe it's to make sure it's safe for someone who is (or may be) pregnant?

Could also just be marketing too of course.

I’d guess this is probably the only plausible reason, other than marketing bs.

That'd be my guess, too. Probably lowers the risk of women pooping out the baby before they want to.

Hence the laxatives

Is that why poor wife gets grumpy? Because she isn't pooping?
