VanillaSalt · Accepted Answer

Lol I stopped caring what other people that don’t matter think of me and my actions years ago… like the guys at work asked me today why I never smile… I stared at them trying to figure out their name and when I couldn’t I just walked away without a word. I COULD have explained that I have resting bitch face to someone I don't know or care about but it was so much easier to avoid the whole question and walk away lol

That being said when I was younger shit like that bothered me. Picking up tampons, buying condoms, small dick jokes… then I grew a pair, gained some confidence, and stopped worrying what people that don’t matter think. I took a date to a sex shop not once but twice. We had a huge laugh at all the crazy shit you find in them. When I buy condoms I specifically go in for just them alone so when they ask if I want a bag I can tell em “na I’ll just turn out the lights”. Been a while since someone was childish enough to tell me I probably had a small dick… ironically it was a woman lmao… I just hood and agree and lovingly refer to it as my baby carrot. I give less fucks about what you or others think about me and my decisions then the shit I took this morning.

It’s a part of growing up.

I wouldn't have a problem with it as long as it wasn't a routine thing. Every once in awhile, sure. I know that a woman's period is not a comfortable time for them and I don't really care what the cashier thinks

Dazed0N0Confused · Accepted Answer

My dad's ex girlfriend bought me my first box of tampons & made sure to tell him which ones to buy when he needed to grab them.
My ex husband had no problems getting me tampons/pads when I needed him to grab them.
My ex boyfriend didn't even want me around when I was on my period.
My SO would rather I didn't ask him to grab them, but will if I really need him to, so long as I sent him a picture of the box 😂

But I've upgraded from tampons/pads, now I use a menstrual cup & I can't believe it took me so long to use one!

AsaKyo · Accepted Answer

I'd rather get my own, but if he offered to, I would appreciate it

NathanDavis · Answer

it's not a problem at all...

first time I ever did, my ex-girlfriend in high-school who was my friend only at the time said to me, let's go to the store... and we went, and then she grabbed all kinds of products and handed me the money, lol... then she pushed me towards the cashier, and I just paid for them and stuff... and she thought it was hilarious

I thought it wasn't a great deal at all... but she found it very funny, and then she said "I was cool" lol

other than that, I don't really have a sense of embarrassment, I could go into any pharmacy and grab them like Simba in the Lion King movie for everyone to see it and also sing the Lion King song all the way, till I a pay for them... and I would not feel awkward at all, maybe others would... but not me, lol

hahahmm · Answer

Only if there's a big emergency where she can't get to the store. Otherwise it's like me asking her to fix the car. She ain't going to do that for me so why do I have to do random things she knows how to do herself? It's called having responsibilities.

God_of_Thunder · Answer

Sure, I don't mind. It's no different than buying toilet paper, or deoderant.

I mean, people poop & stink, but nobody feels weird for buying those necessities, so why should people feel weird for buying products for another unavoidable bodily function?

Besides, it sends the message that you both have a girlfriend/wife, and you're responsible/mature enough to do the shopping for her. Neither of those is a cause for embarrassment.

Smoothing · Answer

I don't see why that should be a problem. Especially if we are living together. All she has to do is let me know the exact one she needs. It is essential to get used to it, because if we ever give birth to a girl, and she starts her period in the absence of her mum, at least I am used to knowing what to do.

xJeremyx · Answer

I dont mind. but It would be nice if you told me specifically which brand/type you want, and if its pads, what size and type. I've got a funny story about pantyliners if anyone wants to hear it XD

Makeushiver · Answer

I don't think I'd have a problem with it. What would someone think even if you had the willies buying them. Use it in your butt for some reason? I'd probably prefer to know exactly what I'm supposed to get because I wouldn't be thrilled discussing whether it was a "heavy" or "light" day but not from embarrassment, from utter lack of knowledge

TT1227 · Answer

I’ve asked before when i was sick or physically couldn’t go. I know it can be uncomfortable for men to buy those things so I only asked if it was really needed. My ex never had a problem buying them. He even called in the store once and asked if I wanted regular or super lol.

Guardian45 · Answer

Sure! I would be okay when/if my SO asks me to buy pads/tampons at the store, as long as she's EXPLICIT about which ones!

Afterall, you DON'T want to buy low cost, summer tires, when what you really NEED are HI-PERFORMANCE WINTER tires, am I right or what?

melanieeeB · Answer

I would not ask, cause I always have everything at home or in my purse and I'm always prepared haha but if I did ask and he made a scene about it... boy bye

BlueScorpio · Answer

Um he's never really had to, I always stayed stocked up most of the time. Maybe if I ran out and was bleeding heavily... but then again I might use paper towel or a black rag then rush to go get some. 🤔

convo_king89 · Answer

I’d do it but I wouldn’t know what size, brand, flow etc to get. Unless she is specific I be confused. I did her a favor she had better return the favor after her period.

Th3ft · Answer

I want to be the guys that is all over it. I was fine with it when I had a girlfriend and I since I have even bought pads for my grandma so I would be okay with doing whatever for my girl if I get another.

PamelaRivers · Answer

Would be a good test if he really cares. If he not willing to buy something essential for you at the store, he isn't worthy of you.

Chazmatazz269 · Answer

I’ve done it, and i would again… ONCE. If a grown ass woman can’t remember to plan for a monthly eventuality she’s already been dealing with for YEARS, we are NOT a match! Ell oh ell!

Lionman95 · Answer

Like what @TallAnon said it. It's the easiest and less complicated way. If the situation ever arrives so what? I surely do that. I once did it for my sis that way.

beebella · Answer

I usually remember to buy in advance, so I probably would never have to ask my future boyfriend to buy them for me.
BUT... My dad used to buy my pads for me all the time, so I'd kind of expect my future boyfriend to not have a problem with it either if I ever need him to buy them for me.

Still-alive · Answer

not a big deal at all. and ill take it a step further. any man who does have issues with this are wusses lol. they are likely insecure about their masculinity too

TallAnon · Answer

Sure, I would ask for a picture of her current ones and just buy those or ask someone in the shop for similar ones.

Lyndsielee666 · Answer

I mean I bleed so bad I literally can hardly get up for the first couple days so he better go get my shit unless he wants blood everywhere 🤷🏻‍♀️😂

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

Yes, it would be fine for me if I had a girlfriend, I would have no problem buying her pads/ tampons hey it's part of Mother Nature is how I see things

Titanic1912 · Answer

If she needed them, I’d be happy to oblige. She needs to tell me the exact kind and brand and how heavy her flow is (light, regular, super or ultra). I just hope I don’t run into any of my friends while I’m shopping for that.

boringgitl98 · Answer

Men... Smdh lmfao... I would likely not ask a man to buy that for me ewww. Next thing you know he will find out i fart and poop.

JaxiCats · Answer

My boyfriend has had no issue with it and honestly I don’t care if he buys them for me or nots u average 10 pads a cycle so I don’t go through them super fast

ObscuredBeyond · Answer

Awkward, but I'll do it in a pinch. I'd advise taking a picture in advance of your favorite brand, so I don't get the wrong ones. :-)

PinkRose24 · Answer

I don't wear tampons. I wear pads. I wouldn't ask my boyfriend to buy me pads. I'm a grown ass responsible woman that buys her pads before she gets her period.

20yearsolder · Answer

I have no issue with it, I've purchased pads and tampons more than once. Not a big deal. The cashier knows their damn sure not for me

snowboarder720 · Answer

You’re damn right I will. As long as she provides pics of the exact brand and products she needs so I get the correct ones.

Cecinene · Answer

Of course No But if he knows that you are already in your circle then he can get them for you but as for me I can't do that.

RavVid · Answer

Have done it but require a full written specification of what to buy before I will. No problem.

dustybiker · Answer

I don’t have to. He often restocks without saying anything. (Humbled every time I notice)

Apple1996 · Answer

My guy would buy me pads/tampons no problem but I've never made him cuz I'm always prepared

EmmaMary · Answer

Thankfully my husband has never, ever refused.

bolverk · Answer

Not a problem. I've done it in the past for my 4 younger sisters, I've learned more about the female period than I really wanted to know. but they are my sisters and I love them.

pizzalovershouse · Answer

No wouldn't buy cuz I use to get stuck doing it when I was a kid for my young aunt who was a teen

Agent_Elflord · Answer

I’d have no issue doing that. Growing up, my mom and sister would occasionally ask me to bring them a new pad or tampon as well as a new pair of underwear, so it’s no biggie.

Fuentes · Answer

Yeah sure I'll get tampons on free pickup from Walmart, vons or target and they never saw me get it they just handed it to me because I'm not gonna walk in that aisle in that line looking like a dumb ass searching for something femine.

andreasderjuengere · Answer

I have no problem with that. But I need detailed product instructions, so that I won't get the ''wrong'' stuff :)

OlderThanILook · Answer

I wouldn't care. I'd do it for a female friend because it'll make me look like I'm fucking someone.

Sparkie460 · Answer

I never had a problem buying personal products for my wife or daughter. Sometimes that's all I went to the store for. A real man wouldn't have any issues with buying them

macjets007 · Answer

Yes! I'd do anything for a women I love. Plus I'd get myself something to eat, maybe drinks, turn on some good music in the car driving there also. I'd make it a fun trip :)

jshm2 · Answer

I did tend to tell those sorts of dad jokes when doing so, though!

humanearth · Answer

I'm too old to give a shit. Just write down what you want and I'll get them

Massageman · Answer

No problem, as long as she gives me the correct info.

AviatorTom · Answer

Not a problem. I often used to buy tampons for my then-wife and daughter.

Sixgunsound · Answer

I’ve picked them up at the store for my wife before and I’d do it again. It’s part of life.

genericname85 · Answer

sure. not an issue for me at all. used to do that for my sister and my mom too when i was still living with my family.

Aakash_Hangargi · Answer

Lol i am one of those guys who will buy them without bagging it and will place it in your hands infront of everyone 😂😂😂

AndrésC64 · Answer

Of course. I have in the past. Why not? It's kind of like being embarrassed about buying condoms or toilet paper.

ChiTown33 · Answer

That's why you deliberately get the wrong thing each time. Then she stops asking you because you keep screwing it up. 😜😆

FilmGuy93 · Answer

I wouldn't mind her asking me to pick up some stuff

Phoenix98 · Answer

Yeah I wouldn’t mind doing it so long as she specified what kind she needed.

qwert1234 · Answer

Just send me the pic of the type and brand. No worries.

WeirdoFriendly · Answer

As long as she gives me a picture or gives me the old box of what she's looking for, I don't mind getting her what she needs.

neoagent1 · Answer

I know women are VERY particular about the kind they use so I'd want the name/type/and maybe a picture of the package

Jenny-Marie · Answer

No problem, I've done it many times. Also, as a single dad with 2 girls, I was responsible for sorting out their sanitary needs.

Mr1derful · Answer

Sure I don’t care at all what might people might think or say.

Andres77 · Answer

My mom broke me of that when I was 9 and the boxes were the size of diaper boxes.

Zolly99999 · Answer

Sure I have no problem picking them up... she just has to tell me exactly what ones to get or I will definitely come with the wrong ones 🤣🤣🤣

bigpauly · Answer

I don’t mind lol. It’s obviously not for me and it’s something necessary so I don’t find it embarrassing or anything.

Quidthonian · Answer

She'd need to give me training on what to look out for, what brands she prefers.
