The company received a of complaints on social media from people who thought the on the label was highly inappropriate.

The company was to offer an apology and said it did not mean to denigrate women. A Salvo Sports said on Twitter: "The message is , instead of washing it in the wrong , you might as well give it to a lady because they are more ." It added: "There is no intention to humiliate women. In , we want to tell the men to learn from women on how to take of clothes." Many people felt the apology was also sexist.
