Women Not Included: Consumer Products

Loading player...
Design is never neutral and small choices can have a big impact.

Dr Ella Hubber and journalist Katie Silver explore how consumer products marketed to women are frequently developed without fully understanding their needs. Along with expert insight, they look at everything from footwear based on male anatomy to menstrual products tested with unrealistic methods, revealing how these decisions can affect comfort, performance and even health.

As awareness grows, they also ask what change can look like and whether everyday products can finally reflect women’s real needs.
