From pens to tshirts, rubber duckies to novelty items, it is a hot thing lately to make ordinary objects pink to denote that a portion of the proceeds go to battle breast cancer.

Increasing Breast Cancer’s Pink Ribbon

These days countless objects are nowaccessible in the color pink encouraging breast cancer research. It initially started when individuals started to wear the pink ribbons that have now become typical for breast cancer awareness. Because of this popular market entrepreneurs began to sell numerous durable pink ribbons for example lapel pins. It grew exponentially from there.

Now you can start your day with a breast cancer research mug, eat cereal from a pink breast cancer box, get dressed in your anti-cancer clothing and head to work dressed in your pink breast cancer shirt and jeans, because you donated to breast cancer research.

It began with more feminine items and then expanded tremendously. Pepper sprays are now obtainable in a bubble gum pink holder and are available on shelves in time for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. Fifty cents of the ten-dollar Sabre Red spray goes to breast cancer research.

Sometimes Pink Products Are Just Girly, Not Charitable

In most situations you will realize that not everything pink is aimed at breast cancer research. The adorable pink girls’ sporting goods popping up everywhere are just adorable, not an act of charity, as are the various shades of pink cell phones and lightweight pink laptops. If your goal is supporting research check the labels.

Not only that, but pink stun guns, for example the pink stinger or the pink seal, which are concealed as a tampon and key fob are typically a marketing tool designed at attracting women to purchase them.

Look for the name of the charity that is receiving support from the product on the product’s packaging somewhere; proud sponsors generally put that information right up front. Keep in mind, that these pink products don’t have to disclose how much of the purchase price goes to the designated charity so you might consider donating to the charity directly and then buying whatever you want. You’ll still be doing a good deed and you get to purchase whatever girly thing you like.

For the dedicated girly girl they will realize that breast cancer research is the way to go. Ditch the boring black pepper spray and, as a bonus, contribute to a cause you believe in.
