Boots is known for having a great selection of products for young children and newborn babies.

They have everything from pre-natal care to even clothes for your child.

However people are not happy with the pharmacy's pricing on two cutlery sets.

A blue set is on sale in the UK for £3.49 and an almost identical set is on sale for £3.89.

Taking to Twitter, one shopper voiced her anger at the price difference.

She said: "Can you explain the price difference Boots? Is pink plastic more expensive than blue or are you just keen to teach babies about gender inequality?"

The reaction to her tweet was mixed, with some people commenting that the products don't identity which gender each product is for.

One person replied to her tweet: "In all fairness, Boots have not specifically stated on the packaging that the pink set is for girls and the blue is for boys. I think the apparent 'gender inequality' was an association made in your mind.

"Regardless it is stupid to have the price difference on the same product!"

Boots also responded, saying: "Thanks for bringing this to our attention, please be advised that this will be logged with the relevant team.

"Thanks again for bringing this to our attention."

Others brought up what is popularly known as "The Pink Tax."

According to Listen Money Matters, the pink tax refers to the extra amount women are charged for certain products or services.

They explained: "Things like dry cleaning, personal care products, and vehicle maintenance."

"There has been a lot of research on the pink tax that found that overall, women were paying more than men 42% of the time," they added.

In the research mentioned, they said that women pay about $1,351 more than men every year - that's almost €1,200.

RSVP Magazine asked our readers earlier this year about whether women should have to pay for sanitary products or not.

A huge 94% said that these products should be free for woman across Ireland.

Figures from Plan International Ireland show that nearly 50% of young women in Ireland, between, 12-19 years struggle to afford sanitary products every month, with more than 1 in 10 admitting they often have to improvise with toilet roll or something else when they cannot afford to buy pads or tampons.
