Guys, do you pick up feminine hygiene products for your girl?

Question

Whether for your daughter, wife or girlfriend... if she asks you to grab her tampons or pads do ya do it without being embarrassed?

I know it sounds silly but there are guys out there that have a hangup about this like they are picking up radioactive waste.

For the girls, does your guy do this courtesy for ya?

I remember the first time my dad did that for me, he was so embarrassed. He would do so again if I needed him to tho, not that I have asked him to as an adult. My boyfriend has bought them for me before too. He was so sweet, he wanted to keep some at his place in case I ever needed them. The majority of the time it is me buying them for myself but it is nice to know that I had help when I needed it.

My dad has done this, and so is my husband. My husband's been caught going a step further, buying cranberry juice at 3:00 a. m. in a small town Walmart lol he thought it was funny though.

My mom called me to the kitchen window when I was 10. I went on my bike to pick up her box of pads. It wasn’t until I got home that I realized that I had been wearing my army helmet. I was more embarrassed by that than I was by buying feminine pads.

BoopBoopBeep · Accepted Answer

I've never understood the embarrassment. What is the cashier going to assume? That I have a woman at home? Yes. Yes I do. Shucks?

dynamicyandere · Answer

Sure, I’ve done it plenty of times.

As long as they’re polite about it, I don’t see an issue at all.

I see it the same as if they needed Aspirin or Advil or allergy medicine.

I just pick it up and bring it to them like no big deal.

The men with a problem with buying feminine hygiene products are the same men that would be afraid of wearing the color pink.

Or the same men that think talking about their feelings is ‘gay’.

I personally think if they are THAT afraid of being seen buying feminine hygiene products for their woman, they’re insecure with their masculinity.

Wallythewalrus · Answer

I remember the first time I did it for my girlfriend at the time. She told me the brand of tampons but I didn't know what type, so I got her heavy flow. She used them for that day but went the next day to get what she wanted. I haven't gotten it wrong since.

JackCarter · Answer

I feel like facing a tough multiple choice question when I reach the Tampon aisle... and I have to use "phone-your-girl" lifeline like 10 times to get the right one LOL

Just kidding... you need to stay away from women if you can't do this small favor!

beautyjoyfover200 · Answer

For some a weird silly reason I get embarrassed buying them lol, one time I was buying from a pharmacy store and there was a old classmate of mine and he was the only cashier working, it was awkward of him scanning my items while trying to catch on each other life ughhh lmao.

Lliam · Answer

I wouldn't mind doing it at all if asked. But I would want her to tell me exactly what brand and style she wanted me to get because, otherwise, I would have no idea what to get and wouldn't want to come home with the wrong thing. The same thing applies to almost everything she asks me to get at the store.

I wouldn't be embarrassed though.

DryGermanGuy · Answer

A female friend had me buy new blades for her "male-product" Wilkinson razor, because she was too embarrassed! :-D

strlb · Answer

Yes, I have and would.

Would you mind if your partner was turned on by periods?

Ever since I can remember, I've been turned on by a woman having her period. Not the pain or anything that might be awful but how the cycle of it works with fertility. It's just amazing that most every woman you meet has this happening without you knowing.

I just love reading about it or hearing about it and when I've had girlfriends I've always loved to buy them the products or support them on it.

OfMiceandMen · Answer

Yep, I know which brands and the one's to buy for my daughter. No big deal.

musicbrain5 · Answer

Yes, he’s bought those items for me. There’s nothing embarrassing about it at all.

Sonorous · Answer

I don't have a girl. But I'll entertain. I would & it would be no biggie. Just like if she was out & I wanted her to get me something essential, I'd expect her to have no problem doing it. I mean she'd have to have no problem if she's gonna be with me. Because without good reason, I don't think I could tolerate that kinda behavior. It's too weird & childish for me without good reason.

marrk · Answer

If I gambled, I would bet money my boyfriend would not only get me some if asked, but chocolate as well 🥰

I don’t understand how a real man can’t step up when asked. It’s like buying toilet paper. Both products care for completely necessary bodily functions. Men are here because of women and vice versa so let’s be kind to each other and help each other’s needs.

MiddleAgedClimbee · Answer

I think this is something that is easy to do, and should be accomplished without shame :-). You're just purchasing a product and helping out someone you care for, I don't think it should be embarrassing at all.

ohsheeT · Answer

You know when I go to a job I got to pick up tools I got to pick up material I got to get the job done

If I'm in a relationship and she needs me to pick up a tool some material to get the job done yes I'm going to do it for her I don't get embarrassed I don't care about it

Is somebody started giving me crap about it I would just smile and say try buffing out your car with it it works good lol none of their business

matchrestore · Answer

I will buy them for my wife all the time, but I do have a photo of the box saved in my phone since there's so many that look so close with similar names.

dolemite58 · Answer

i will if need be but if i’m willing to do that then a girlfriend/wife should have no problem buying condoms for me if we need them

AviatorTom · Answer

I often picked up tampons and pads at the store for my then-wife and daughter. I wasn't alone... several guys were doing the same, although it was little weird to have feminine products next to the beer. 😏

tfan1 · Answer

I’m not embarrassed to be around or pick up anything - which shocked my girlfriend - now my wife. Pads, tampons, bras, panties, and the one that embarrassed her - Condoms! She will not go near them - if I want them I have to go get them 😛

Anonymous · Answer

My boyfriend always buy me my intimate care. One time I dare him to go with me and buy some undies and apparently he didn't feel embarrased at all. I was the one who feel uncomfortable because he kept saying " Ohh this one looks nice, this one feels good"

I eventually grab things and run to the counter and said to him "Come on let's go" So my planned failed. Ahahahaha

Huntingnfishin · Answer

After the age of 15 no one really cares about buying tampons. Men buy toilet paper all the time and there's no secret what they're using that for

larry69 · Answer

My yes is for any woman in need but I needs details like brand, size, style, scented or unscented picture of box with clear details so I don't buy the wrong ones.
True story when I was about 20 or 21 I worked at a strip club and I brought Tampax and Playtex Super Plus tampons thinking I was doing good but I was wrong. Had to go back and get more but regular and light flow size.

zagor · Answer

Sure. I am not embarrassed by that kind of thing.

My college roommate asked me to buy a couple hardcore porn magazines because they didn't have it in his country and he was too embarrassed to buy it himself. After I bought them I ran into a girl I knew from school and we walked down the main street in town openly looking through the magazines.

TadCurious · Answer

I've never been asked to do this but I would for sure do it if I were asked. I wouldn't feel embarrassed at all. I'd be happy to help.

Apple1996 · Answer

I hate anyone else shopping for me so no never done this but he would if I asked

Charliefretz329 · Answer

Wouldn’t bother me at all. Just be specific as to what you want cause there are so many options.

nudeNhorny · Answer

I can't see why it would be embarrassing, of course since I don't know anything about them, I'd have to ask her what she needs specifically like what kind and what brand to make sure I get her what she wants, other than I wouldn't face any trouble buying them.

integrale77 · Answer

I'd be embarrassed but I'd do it for my fiancé. I would however employ the technique I use for buying anything I know nothing about and ask for the name of the exact item or a picture of the item so I don't get the wrong thing!

RingOfFire · Answer

OH GOD! I HATE doing that! I kind of sneak them out on the conveyor at the last minute so no one notices them.

Years ago one time I was getting some for my girlfriend and the cashier got on the PA system and said "I need a price on XYZ tampons on register five"

Everybody turned around and looked! I almost passed out.

MrOracle · Answer

I have - my only requirement is that she specifies brand, model, and count, because I'm not equipped to guess. Otherwise, it's no different than buying anything else.

msmissydc · Answer

If he goes to the store and I need something of course he buys these things for me. He needs to know what to buy but thats easy to explain and he already knows what I am using.

maroon_eyez · Answer

Yes i bought tampons and pads and it doesn't bother me at all lol.. If that girl feels comfy to tell me about these, what she use, why should i be embarrassed to buy them😋

bolverk · Answer

I have no problem picking up tampons or pads as I have 4 younger sisters and I've picked up what they needed when I've been shopping, admittedly when you are a 6'2" 260Lb guy you get funny looks from some checkout operators.

Peter_Penetrator · Answer

I have never had an issue with advertising that l have a lady in my life. I am proud to sport a box of tampons or pack of pads.

Nifrayu · Answer

I have done that a few times. It's a rare thing for her to ask me. I guess she is really good at staying on top of that herself. But when she asks me I don't have any problems with helping her in that way.

RavVid · Answer

It is no big deal but I do want specifics and for her to have her phone out if I can't find it and need to consult.

Sparkie460 · Answer

Yes I buy them for her all the time. I've been picking them up for years. I'm not embarrassed by it at all.

A_Bell · Answer

I don't understand why this is a big deal for guys. It's childish.

CallmeTheKnight · Answer

I would. There’s nothing embarrassing about it. Everyone knows it’s not for you but in this day in age you never know

Wraith_Cemetery · Answer

Done it multiple times, no big deal. The female cashiers think it's cute too.

Anonymous · Answer

Nope. She never ask me because to do so. She’s always up on that as far as having what she needs for when that happens.

nastyb · Answer

KostasKouvalis · Answer

I've never had to, but I'd have absolutely zero problem with that, especially considering that my mom has picked up masculine products for me.

FatherJack · Answer

Yes , today in fact , have a 17 year old daughter. Aunt Flo can sometimes turn her into the Beast From Hell...

MackBoy · Answer

I have bought pad for my sisters but i will buy it for my future wife if she asks. i feel kind of shy to buy those kinds of products and even condom

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

Yes, if I had a girlfriend or wife, I would do that for her.

Likes2drive · Answer

Yeah I have but it was awkward because I never really knew exactly what type I was supposed to get when they never explained very well

DextroShade · Answer

I don't mind, even if I was gay or trans I would have zero use for them myself so I don't get the embarrassment.

TonyMetal___86 · Answer

If i was married than ofc i'd buy and pick up the necessaties of my housewife 😌 Why would i be ashamed?

Ironic_Method · Answer

I've done it before, but don't do it regularly. It's not a big deal.

SolitarySolace · Answer

Don’t have a girl, so thankfully no. The only girl I have is a cat.

clampfan101 · Answer

If she’s my wife or daughter she just needs to put them on the shopping list.

Grond21 · Answer

Yeah, this is a non issue for me. I'll grab whatever she needs

skt19d · Answer
