From the cleansing head that pairs with DUDE Wipes for a fresh clean to the conical blade for smooth trimming, the fictional device is designed for ultimate convenience.
The trimmer attachment tackles unwanted hair, while the suction cup base ensures hands-free use, adding an element of fun and practicality to men’s grooming routines.
In a statement exclusive to DesignRush, Andy Andersen, VP of creative at DUDE Wipes, shared his excitement about working on the campaign.
“At DUDE Wipes, we love pushing boundaries and having fun with our products. Partnering with MANSCAPED lets us do just that.”
The DUDEMAN 2.0 shows how brands are getting creative to engage with their target audience while addressing largely taboo yet very real intimate care needs.
When Humor and Hygiene Collide
In a commercial released on social media, DUDE Wipes and Manscaped feature the quirky “hospital enthusiast Dr. Bachdor,” who introduces the features of the DUDEMAN 2.0.
The video then shifts to a customer testimonial from a woman praising the benefits of the grooming tool.
The informercial-inspired spot wraps with a playful call to action, as Dr. Bachdor directs audiences to a fake website.
The DUDEMAN 2.0 is an April Fools’ joke that brings attention to both companies’ commitment to breaking taboos and providing top-notch hygiene solutions.

The campaign demonstrates how humor and creativity can engage consumers and reinforce a brand’s identity.
Tackling a commonly overlooked part of men’s grooming in a fun way, DUDE Wipes and MANSCAPED are positioning themselves as leaders in the men’s self-care space.
Holidays have become a valuable opportunity for brands to experiment with creative marketing strategies that catch their audience off guard.
For instance, Kerrygold and Native Denims recently launched a limited-edition pair of jeans with a special cheese pocket to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day.
