My girlfriend asked me to buy her tampons when I was getting some groceries and I felt really awkward and took me forever to find what she likes. The girl at the register gave me a weird look and the bagger made a remark about. it.
No, I didn't need to ask him because I always made sure I didn't run out. Usually a girl/woman has spares in her purse. Have a talk with her about it. Let her know this was uncomfortable for you, so it will be your last time buying them for her. She needs to be more responsible in that department.
Unless she is sick and can't go to the store herself, then it's ok that you get them for her.
Most Helpful Opinions
The mark of a really good man is his empathy and respect around this topic.
Any man that scoffs about them, qips about how it's not that bad or makes a luid comment about your emotions being 'that time of the month' is nothing but a jerk. Frankly an adolescent jerk.
A man who happily helps a woman with such things is a good man.
If he buys you new jeans because you needed new ones because of this - and had to wear uncomfortable borrowed ones two sizes too small - just so you can be more comfortable and dose so discreetly and kindly. Well, that too is a gentleman.
They do exist ladies. I have seen them. Rear beasts for sure but not extinct.

Yes of course. I mean maybe not at the start of a relationship but definitely later on. I dont understand why cashier and the other person made a remark about it. It should be normal right? I mean it only means you have a relationship, nothing weird about it.
I would find hat too embarrassing to even ask and embarrassing for him to have to go get it. I’d send a female friend/fam
Nope never asked a guy to buy me that stuff. I have asked a guy to buy condoms but that’s what I think he should buy. At least for his place. I will buy a box for mine.
Honestly, I find it stupid that thy gave you a weird look. I haven't asked my boyfriend for a favour like that yet, but I know if I ever need it I can count on him and I find nothing wrong or weird in that. I ask my dad to buy me pads when I'm literally too busy studying to go get more.
When i was younger and living at home Id asked my dad to buy me pads/tampons. Never had to ask a man to do this since I've been a adult tho since I'm always prepared
If your embarrassed see if you can order it on a grocery or walmart delivery app. If my parents are not around I plan on buying heavy groceries using delivery apps like rice or flour.
He buys them for me on his own 🥰 I have my feminine stuff in a small basket in the bathroom and he takes notice when I'm low and he'll go buy them along with milk and bread. I love him! 🥰🥰🥰
I haven't, but I think it's not weird. If they can buy condoms or lubes, then this should be just fine. It's actually sweet to see if a guy is gentleman enough to his girl.
I'm more than sure and extremely confident, that should the need ever arise, my husband wouldn't hesitate in purchasing my sanitary/feminine requirements.
I don’t use tampons. I use pads, and yes, I’ve asked my dad and brother to buy me pads sometimes. They know what to do and what not to do when my mom and I are on our periods.
