It has drawn over 6,000 'likes' on the social networking website.
According to The Daily Mail, some on the page have proposed distributing boxes of Iqals to youths.
One joked about the price of Iqals going up due to men buying them before the protest.
Earlier, a Facebook page was set up encouraging women to take to their cars and drive on June 17.
It came after a 37-year-old Saudi woman, Manal al-Sharif, was jailed for defying the ban.

"It is not a revolution, it is not a plot, it is not a gathering and it is not a protest - we are only requesting to drive our cars," one post on the page said.
