Company details
Written by the company
I started Manly to make a real difference in men’s daily routines — most supermarket products are full of harsh chemicals that cause irritation, dryness, and breakouts. Our mission is to create natural men’s hygiene and grooming products that actually work — from body wash, shampoo, conditioner, and deodorant to targeted solutions for acne, dandruff, and body odour. By using high-quality botanicals instead of cheap fillers, we help men (and the mums, partners, and families who often buy for them) feel confident in their own skin. Manly is more than just a shower brand — it’s about giving guys simple, effective, and trustworthy products they’ll actually use every day. – Callum Founder of Manly

Hi Judith,
I’m really sorry to hear this was your experience. It should never take forever to get hold of someone, and I completely understand how frustrating that would have felt. That’s not the level of service we aim to provide.
We’re a small team, but that’s never an excuse for you feeling unheard. If there were delays or missed messages, that’s on us and we’ll be looking into it properly.
Thank you for calling this out. Feedback like this is important and helps us improve.

100% works as advertised
My son couldn't get rid of his greasy hair, but with the first use of Manly his hair was so clean. It was 100% worth the order.

Hi Jessica,
Thank you so much for sharing this. Greasy hair can be so frustrating, especially when nothing seems to work, so hearing that you noticed a difference after the very first wash is fantastic.
We designed our shampoo to properly cleanse the scalp without that heavy residue, so knowing your son’s hair felt genuinely clean straight away is exactly the result we hope for.
It really means a lot that you felt it was 100% worth the order. Thanks for giving us a go and for trusting us with his routine.

Hi there,
I’m genuinely sorry to read this. I can completely understand how alarming and frustrating it would feel to see a charge and shipment you weren’t expecting, especially if you believe you never subscribed.
That’s absolutely not how we operate and we are not in the business of tricking anyone. We’re a small Australian brand and transparency is incredibly important to us. If something has gone wrong here, we want to investigate it properly and fix it quickly.
Please reach out to us directly with your order details so we can look into exactly what happened, stop anything pending if possible, and organise a resolution straight away. If a charge has been made in error, we will address it.
I’m really sorry this has caused you stress. We’d appreciate the opportunity to make this right.

Great for tweens and beyond!
I bought the Manly kit for my 11yr old grandson for Christmas. He loves the products, particularly the underarm deodorant, and nothing has caused irritation. Highly recommend these products.

Hi Adele,
Thank you so much for sharing this. We love that you chose the Manly kit as a Christmas gift for your 11 year old grandson. That is such a thoughtful present at that age.
It’s especially great to hear he’s loving the deodorant and that nothing has caused any irritation. Young skin can be sensitive, so knowing it’s working well and staying gentle is exactly what we aim for.
We really appreciate the recommendation and your support.

Hi there,
This was such a great one to read, thank you. We love that it’s a household favourite with your two boys and your husband. That is exactly what we hope for when families give us a go.
It’s great to hear you’ve noticed that a little goes a long way. We’ve worked hard on getting the formulas right so they’re effective without needing half the bottle each shower. And knowing everyone is smelling fresh all the time is a big win.
We’re also glad your package arrived on time and in good condition. Thanks so much for your support.

This was such a fantastic review to read, thank you. Hearing that it’s no longer a battle to get him in the shower is a huge win. That alone makes us smile.
We’re so glad he’s loving the body wash, shampoo and conditioner, especially the scents. When teens actually want to use the products every day, that tells us we’re on the right track.

Thank you for such an honest and balanced review. We’re so glad you’re loving the quality and smell, and that your teen is actually motivated to use the products. That’s a huge win in any household.
I’m sorry the delivery ran a bit late over the Christmas rush. That time of year can get hectic, but we know that doesn’t make the wait any less frustrating. We appreciate your patience.
Thanks as well for the feedback on the marketing emails. That’s helpful for us to hear and we’ll definitely take it on board as we continue improving the overall experience.
It means a lot that you can’t fault the products themselves. We really appreciate your support.

Hi Greg,
We absolutely loved reading this, thank you. Hearing that the range is working so well for your hair and body at 57 is fantastic. Manly has never really been about age, it’s about feeling fresh and confident at any stage of life.
We hear that a lot actually, people saying they wish it was around when they were teenagers. That’s exactly the problem we originally set out to solve.
It’s great to know you’re getting that all day fresh feeling and comfort. That’s what we aim for every single time.
Thanks so much for your support.

Body Odour not getting better
We have received a few orders now but I’m finding the body wash and shampoo and conditioner are great but unfortunately the deodorant is not working for my son. He’s an apprentice builder so he stinks. I need to find something stronger for him that lasts all day

Unprompted review
Reply from Usemanly
Hi Michelle,
Thank you for being so honest with this. I really appreciate you sharing both the positives and the frustration. I’m glad the body wash, shampoo and conditioner are working well, but I completely understand the deodorant not holding up for an apprentice builder would be disappointing. Long days, physical work and heat are a tough test for any natural deodorant.
Our formula is designed to be effective without harsh aluminium based ingredients, but for very heavy sweating it may need reapplication during the day. Some customers in similar jobs find applying to completely dry underarms and doing a quick top up midday helps a lot.
That said, every body is different and if it’s not cutting it for him, I understand you wanting something stronger that lasts all day. If you’d like, reach out to us directly and we can chat through options or see how we can help further.
We genuinely appreciate you giving us a go and for sticking with the range.

Hi Juliana,
We really loved reading this, thank you for sharing it. Teenage boys can definitely be particular, especially when they start caring more about their hair and appearance, so that is a big win.
Hearing that he actually told you he loves the new products says everything. When someone fussy gives their approval, we know we’ve done something right.
We’re so glad you’re quietly thrilled. That’s exactly the kind of result we hope for in families.
Thanks so much for your support.

Great product
Great product. Arrived in time as a Christmas present for my 20 year old grandson. He loves the product. I mistakenly clicked the “subscription” box when ordering. Customer service was excellent and timely and it was promptly changed to a once-off purchase. I was so happy with the response and would be happy to purchase again as a present for my grandson.

Thank you so much for this lovely review. We’re so glad it arrived in time for Christmas and that your 20 year old grandson is loving the product. That makes it such a worthwhile gift.
I also really appreciate you mentioning the subscription mix up. It can be easy to click the wrong option at checkout, so I’m glad our team was able to sort it quickly and change it to a once off purchase for you. That’s exactly how it should be handled.
It means a lot that you’d be happy to purchase again as a gift. Thank you for your support and for trusting us with something special for your grandson.

Hi there,
Thank you for sharing this. We completely understand the “teenage bedroom” situation, so hearing that there’s been such a noticeable difference is fantastic. That’s exactly the kind of real world result we hope for.
It’s also refreshing to hear you were a bit skeptical at first. We know there are plenty of bold claims out there, so when someone genuinely sees a change, that means a lot to us.
We’re really glad it’s made such a positive difference in your home. Thank you for your support.
