I liked the commercial, but I would never buy the product because I hate the name. Honey pot is another name for an outhouse. Or septic tank. B

I have seen that commercial several times. Didn't give it much thought really other than it must be some pretty good stuff. One of my friends who is black does nothing but complain about how hard it is to find products for her skin and how 'ashy' (I think that is the term she used). Her solution is Vaseline, which she hates but it works. I had a passing thought that she might like this line of products. Otherwise, different products for all kinds of skin... some are targeted at different types of people and skin types.

B It’s always sold out at my WF and this is before Black History month. The packaging and or product resonates with some segment of feminine hygiene consumers just like Summers Eve marketing does. |

You lost my support at “white women haven’t had a win or anything cool to celebrate in FOREVER”. Remember when the peas were insulting your intelligence and your choice to have children because you shared how unhappy you were with your ex husband and professional life? I recall you were considering getting another degree and asking for advice or commensuration. I was blown away by how brutal the peas were and wished them all menstrual mishaps in my very supportive message to you. Super ironic given this thread topic hahaha. My super sleuth skills won’t allow me to actively engage in the search for that thread but I bet you recall it. My name has always been Olan here at 2peas How common do you think it is for white women to withdraw “support” when they don’t like how someone says something?? I also don’t see my OP as a “call for support” but umm thanks anyway? |

B I liked the commercial too, but frankly I was not only put off by the name but also by the fact that I have no idea what she was selling. It is insane to me that people are having negative reactions to the ad. |

It is insane to me that people are having negative reactions to the ad. I 110% agree with this. There's nothing here to have any backlash over and we women need to support women owned business. But I'm thinking that the backlash came from a certain segment of the population who are not known for their resounding support of women as anything other than wife and mother, let alone supporters of the black community, in general. I don't think the backlash here was your every day run of the mill average Jane. |

I've actually met and had conversations with Bea (the founder) and her team at several trade shows. They are all the absolute nicest people I've ever met, and have the best intentions for their business and their customers to make change for the better. As someone who has struggled with allergic reactions to the bleach and chemicals in feminine hygiene products for YEARS, her products have been life changing.
It's absolutely maddening to me that people would take offense to her story or her mission and try to destroy her business.

Luckily for me and society as a whole, conversations don’t end just because white women think they should, at least not anymore  |

I was in a different state for a work related thing and saw them at a Target. Got a pack. Loved them. Came back to find they are not sold in WA (yet) and they were sold out in Amazon and on their site. Hunted them for a while and finally found them in stock online again (Target).
Life changing!
I’m really happy for her. She seems like a really smart and nice person in her videos and on her site.
And yeah, the effectiveness of the product or how happy I am for a woman entrepreneur has nothing to do with skin color.

I liked the name enough to try out the product. Didn’t do wonders for me so I’m not going to repurchase it. I only learned very recently that the company was owned by an AA woman. . My buying a product has nothing to do with the ethnicity of the product’s creator.

If that kids thinks nothing great has happened to white women and WOC together, they were not paying attention to the 2018 elections.
The commercial did not give me a clue what the product was that she had created, so look it up and I will be purchasing some of the products for my DD to try, so thank you.
As far as the nasty comments and low ratings for Honey Pot products, asshole comes in every color.

Well I disagree. This white woman supports the efforts of all women regardless of color whenever possible.

It's often a damned-if-you-do-damned-if-don't world. You make some people angry and others are happy with you. I hope her business thrives even faster due to the criticism and attention it has received. That'll show the haters better than anything else.
I found the commercial engaging and liked the way it presented her style. My assumption was that it was skin care -- not really sure why. It wasn't until this thread that I realized it was feminine hygiene products.

In Outlander, honey pot was used in reference to a woman's vagina but I would never have known that either and had never heard it before. |

Duh! I didn’t realize it was feminine care. I thought it was face wipes and such. The ad didn’t bother me at all but because I always thought it was for you face, I thought it was weird there were no pictures of African American women on the products. Lol!

I have only heard of it as euphemism for the vagina. I have never heard that. My family if from rural Pennsylvania and I was raised in rural New York. It was always used in reference to the septic tank. Kind of changes the meaning of honey dipper, and honey wagon! |

People saying they are going to boycott Target because of it are whacko. There are so many other more important things to get your panties in bunch over than an ad for Target. |

The only issue I had with the commercial is that I didn't know what products they were advertising. It was vague what their brand consisted of.

You lost my support at “white women haven’t had a win or anything cool to celebrate in FOREVER”. Why would Lisa lose your support because of something someone else said? It’s not on some Beyonce or Taylor Swift type beef either! Find the lie!!!!! Some of y’all have to pretend to hate tennis and gymnastic now. Hell swimming too. Not to mention all the black women politicians working to solve the gun control issue and fixing the mess white women made in 2016! This wouldn’t be the first time white women stood in the way of progress though so why bother with these folx! Dionne And my boyfriend is probably the one she tried to quote. |
