I think you can add another criteria that certain commenters here have revealed. They usually also say that they do not want to scour the web for a pair of pants that has larger pockets (see example comment https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38000006 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=38000006). This means you also have to add convenience to the list of criteria.
I would classify small startups as more inconvenient which might in part explain why they struggle to fill this niche.
- nerdponx 3y agoIt's worth making clear that "convenience" in this case is really more like "not expending relatively large amounts of time, energy, and money". Characterizing that as "convenience" seems demeaning to me, unless we also consider it a convenience that I don't need to fetch my water from a well or light a fire to take a warm bath.
- almatabata 3y agoConvenience was the closest word I could find to express it at the time. Maybe I should have said accessible instead. I did not want to imply a positive or negative connotation to it. I thought it useful to expand the list of criteria to add that women will also value the level of accessibility.
