People are taking the p*ss out of Dove's latest empowerment advert

Dove are all about empowering women and showing the true face of beauty.

We've seen this time and again with their 'Real Beauty' campaigns. Here at Her we're big fans of the fact that the company celebrate women's bodies through positivity and self-love, but that unfortunately won't stop the internet from taking the p*ss.

The company have released a limited edition collection of their classic moisturiser bottles which are contoured to represent six different body shapes. Dove says the bottles are designed to "celebrate the many shapes and sizes of beauty",

"From curvaceous to slender, tall to petite, and whatever your skin colour, shoe size or hair type, beauty comes in a million different shapes and sizes. Our six exclusive bottle designs represent this diversity: just like women, we wanted to show that our iconic bottle can come in all shapes and sizes, too."

Ok... we get it. Beauty absolutely comes in all shapes and sizes and everyone is usually all for it, but on this occasion... Twitter wasn't feeling it:

@FastCompany @Dove So if CVS is out of "skinny bitch" bottles am I not going to be able to get clean? Not sure how this works.
