Kleenex is scrapping its “Mansize” brand name after consumers complained the name was sexist. They’re instead going to change the name of the product to Kleenex Extra Large. A spokesperson representing the brand said, “Kleenex Mansize tissues have been on shelves for the past 60 years.
The brand has been characterized by a much larger tissue size, which is both soft and durable. It was launched at a time when large cotton handkerchiefs were still very popular and Kleenex offered a unique disposable alternative. […]We are always grateful to customers who take time to tell us how our products can be improved, and we carefully consider all suggestions.”
