Dove Created These Body Washes To Celebrate Body Diversity And It Seriously Backfired

"Dove, I have arms please advise."

"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."

Dove did not immediately respond to BuzzFeed News' request for comment.
