Question

rgb008 · Accepted Answer

Yes. He should also learn how to use them. he must insert a tampon into his ass for me to consider him boyfriend material. He must understand the struggles

EmmaMary · Accepted Answer

My husband has never, ever had a problem in buying me supplies when I've been caught short.

jss123 · Accepted Answer

Yes. I do it all the time.  I actually bought period pain medication today. Its a natural thing.

InfobotsMom · Accepted Answer

The jelly mould is cute. Like the party poppers. Not sure about that insole though, wrong shape 🤔

mistixs · Answer

If she needs them, and he doesn't buy her some, that's a dick move. Same if he's sick at home and needs Pepto Bismol in order to stop his vomiting; if she refuses to get him some, that's also a dick move. Partners should take care of each other when they're in need.

sejla · Answer

My dad offered one time when we were out in the country on a church family retreat and I believe my ex husband bought some for me. Honestly I think it is great if a guy can do that for his friend, or SO.

coachTanthony · Answer

I have done it and it's no big deal. Maybe for the younger guys it could be embarrassing because they aren't that mature yet.

SydneySentinel · Answer

If she was unable to at the moment or like in an emergency type situation, I'd hope he'd do it for her.

Apple1996 · Answer

Yeah I see no problem with that

Craftsman · Answer

On the "ever" side, of course. On the "routine" side, only if he has complete knowledge of what his girlfriend uses.
That said, I've bought a lot of menstrual products for various girlfriends and others at times. I'm a retired nurse and EMT, so I have a different orientation to such things. For instance, one can use a tampon if one has a broken or seeping hemorrhoid slightly internal. I hear they also work well for plugging a gunshot wound, if all else fails. A sanitary napkin works very well for an absorptive bandage if an abdominal pad is not available. My mother, in her last days, needed pads because of weak urinary sphincter problems, and the incontinence pads were sometimes inadequate.
And my ex, when she was doubled up in pain from cramps, with unusually heavy flow sometimes, needed the supplies. And supplies is what they are, just like paper towels, scrubby sponges and even, (gasp) toilet paper.
I've never gotten a dirty look from anyone. The most reaction I ever got was from a few women who would tell me in the grocery checkout line, "I wish my husband/boyfriend would get those for me." with an approving smile.

AlienParasite · Answer

Mhh, he doesn't have the obligation but it's nice that if one day she needs that favor he can do it. When I was very sick once my boyfriend did so for me, the same way I bought him shaving stuff once he couldn't go supermarket and needed so. Good couples take care of each other in the end. However personal products that the other person doesn't know well it's better to be bought by the person who's going to use it, other way there's risk for the other to buy the wrong pads or the wrong shavers...

Philyouup · Answer

If she needs me to because I’m at the store or already out or just feeling crappy. Why not. It’s not any different from him picking up anything else. Unless he’s not really sure of his manhood. And then should he rest have a girlfriend or wife.

Moonchild714 · Answer

Yes, but only if he kniws exactly what she uses. We have our preferences!! We don't just grab anything... So she either needs to give him said package, write down every detail, or he better really know on his own...

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

Yes , i would buy menstrual supplies if i had a
girlfriend or a wife who needed them and i wouldn't
ask for no money to buy them for her. I believe once
i have a Special Lady in my life , it's something forever.

Reaperbot666 · Answer

if she asks me to. then sure I'll grab/buy them for her. I mean it is just for a normal part of a woman's life. same as if I every have a daughter or get a step-daughter.

however now with places where you and buy online or have them autoship to house even. makes it a bit easier to remember which ones she uses. so you do not have to explain to the clerk at the help deck why you need to return them.

that or just take a photo of the package. so you have a rough ideal for when she might ask you to grab her some.

UncleHerb · Answer

There is absolutely nothing wrong with a guy picking up such items for his girlfriend/ wife.

That being said he should by no means be expected to take it upon himself to pick them up without being asked to do so and being given explicit instructions on what product to buy.

WE ARE MEN WE ARE STUPID about such products. Show him the box that what you want comes in so he knows which one you prefer.

R_Cakes91 · Answer

Hey, I don’t see anything wrong with that. I’d my guy takes it upon himself to run an errand for me then cool. I’ll just make sure to pick up something he needs next time. My man does not get embarrassed by women’s products, it’s just a personal hygiene thing.

Duckysback · Answer

Isn’t that sort of the whole point in having a bitch… I mean boyfriend?

matchrestore · Answer

Yes, of course. If I'm going to the store already, why wouldn't I pick them up if she needed them? Making her make a separate trip is just wasteful, and for what reason, some leftover hangups from elementary school cooties? Fear of your penis inverting? Your balls falling off?

Shafaq_Mahnoor96 · Answer

Yes, I've seen guys buy that type of stuff for their girlfriends. But it's also mostly his sisters too. They usually help their sisters too. This question shouldn't even arise, we're all here in this world to help each other. Guys should respect and understand girls problems, and girls should also respect and understand guys problems too. It's what we're in this world to do.

Sensmind · Answer

I don't see it as an issue especially when you are getting very serious, say living together - We have to get to a stage where a man doing the main shop for the house may need to buy menstrual products for the wife or girlfriend. Or she can't get to shops, does she have to find a female family member or friend first.
To take the alternative approach to its logical conclusion, say how would a young widower be allowed to cope with his daughter's first bra or first period.

maddog998 · Answer

Yes a guy should buy menstrual products for his girlfriend, cause it shows him how to treat a lady and add a few junk food in it cause then what happens if he does make her a mother, he got to show his son or daughter what a good husband/father is. If he can't buy it for his girlfriend he will never be able to di it for his child. My dad was barely in my life but when I'm around him and I'm on my period, he buys me the stuff I need and buys his wife the stuff she needs..

JackSmy · Answer

I thought that was a 'test' of being a 'keeper' to women? Something like almost midnight, and then, suddenly. . .
Being a bit more experienced now, I usually keep her brand, and things she likes and needs if we are serious, and she stays over a few nights a week. Not any big deal to me, but maybe a big deal to her, just caring and trying to make her comfortable in my home.

BillRay · Answer

When I was younger I tried to be open minded and thought that it should just be a natural part of a relationship. But, looking back oh, I think it is just a shit test to see if your guy we'll go do stupid stuff for you. I am getting grumpy in my old age

COMMODOREII · Answer

It is a duty and a privilege to make sure she gets through her monthly time as easily as possible. If i have to grab midol at the pharmacy i do it. If i have to run to Wal-Mart for tampons at 3 in the morning i do it. If i have put a warm towel on her tummy and massage her feet. I do it. 😎

SjE78 · Answer

If you are in a relationship with a woman and you care about her, and she needs them then yes we should

MannySimms · Answer

No big deal. My wife was coming out of the hospital and needed a pair of panties. I went to the store and another customer was watching me sort through them. I picked up a pair, held them in front of my groin and said "What do you think?". They were horrified and a nearby clerk laughed so hard she cried.

Good times!

Jjpayne · Answer

I think it's fine. Just go up and buy them like an adult. Same with girls buying comdoms, just go up there and put them on the counter and pay for them. Look serious and just pay, if they ask questions but simple and brief with responses or even take it back, saying... Jokingly for a guy buying the female products... Yeah it's that time of the month for me :)

Lyndsielee666 · Answer

I bleed so bad I literally can’t walk or I pass out so my boyfriend goes to the store for me and buys me pads 🤷‍♀️ No big deal

FunkyMonkee · Answer

Sure, why not? Dad used to buy them for his mom back in the `30's. He was only a kid and didn't even know what they were.
I not only have no problem buying them for her, she even lets me put them in her sometimes. Once it's in her, I give her pussy a little love pat and a kiss!

beebella · Answer

If, for some reason, she needs him to, then yes. He should have no problem with it.

justcurious2019 · Answer

sure why not if you love someone you will do anything for them

skeetskeetskeet · Answer

Whats the big deal with it... i was a little nervous the first time I got sent to buy them but then I went through checkout. The cashier didn't start laughing and pointing so fuck it

Beastly66 · Answer

Of course... part of being in a relationship is caring for each other.  Sometimes I get the wrong ones but I’ll try...

LonewolfMeme · Answer

My boyfriend said he'd carry some in his book bag if I needed to.

Titanic1912 · Answer

Guys do it all the time. One time my mom sent me to get pads for my grandma because she leaks. When I got back, she asked if it embarrassed me. I said no because I’m probably going to have to do that for my girlfriend later when she sends me to get pads, tampons or menstrual cups for her. My mom had no idea what menstrual cups were. I told her that some girls do that.

loveslongnails · Answer

Only if you send him to the pharmacist with a note of exactly what you want, or he has a picture of the product. My ex used to ask me to "pick up some Tampons", so I get there and it's like "what the fuck ", there were more varieties and chooses than a paint store !

CubsterShura · Answer

I'd have serious issues being with a guy who wouldn't wanna buy me period products when I'm in need of them!!

bonniebaby19 · Answer

nope.. they dont ever get the right thing we need.. my dad did it once... he was so embarrassed he got mom the wrong thing.

Shamalien · Answer

I mean if she's sick or something and can't get them herself and really needs them then sure, but otherwise, no, that's kind of weird isn't it? Like if I had some weird penis gel that keeps my dick from doing some weird shit, I wouldn't have her buy that unless absolutely necessary XD

BloJo · Answer

No man should be ashamed to buy anything for his girlfriend/wife or daughter. Would he rather they bleed all over their pants/skirt/anything else they are wearing and anything they sit on?

LogicIsKey · Answer

Yes? No? I shouldn't -Have- to buy anybody anything, but I dont see a reason why not to if asked nicely or it makes sense to.

Ctuinfort · Answer

Sure if both are okay with this. Menstrual products are pretty normal items so i don't see the problem.

Girther10 · Answer

If it helps your special someone, why not? It’s just understanding that women have these cycles to deal with, no one should be embarrassed about it. If they are, it seems like they need to grow up some...🤷🏻‍♂️🤷🏻‍♂️. 😎

CaptainSmartass · Answer

Only if she can't get them herself. I'd probably get a couple of other items as well, just so I don't look like some sort of weirdo. Simples...

Pyrofox · Answer

I mean guys will do it if you show them what you need pre period @.@. no offense to women in general just sometimes best to steer clear of ending up. The target of a woman's period pain anger. Even if they can't control it.

DonovanHarris · Answer

I don't see the problem, especially if the guy knows what he's looking for. I never understood why some guys are so uncomfortable with the idea. What's the worse that could happen? The checkout clerk asks "Hur hur, are those for you?"

Grande_Beefy_Swirl · Answer

Dude, yes. It's a medical necessity. I'm amazed this is even a question. If your asshole leaked blood 12 times a year i guarantee, if your girlfriend is worth anything, she'll help you out.

pleasestopthis · Answer

Yes if she can't go buy herself for whatever reason, a lot of guys do it.

Hurlyburly · Answer

Umm why not? My boyfriend did several times for me.

ImSparkly · Answer

YES. Thankfully I haven't had to deal with these for a l.. o.. n.. g time (IUD), but I would respect any guy who offered to procure them for me if they were needed.

coolbreeze · Answer

Depends... A guy has to know the type of products that his women uses.

Kewlkaelyn101 · Answer

If it’s an emergency situation, sure why not? But it shouldn’t be a regular thing for him to do it. It’s a woman’s responsibility to be prepared for her period at any moment.

TheLawAroundHere · Answer

What is this guy? A moron? Of course its fine. I mean, cmon. Im pretty sure the products he is sent to buy are new. Its not like pads and tampons are recycled and sold used.

Just be crystal clear as to what u need.

SkipStop · Answer

You mean like "Should a guy be responsible for buying these products for his girlfriend"? No. If she nicely asks him to do so because of convenience then sure. He can help when it's best.

Yuri1970 · Answer

Uh, yeah. She touches my dirty undies when she does laundry and that probably isn't the most fun thing in the world, so why not pick her up what she needs?

Lliam · Answer

I don't see why not, as long as she tells me exactly what to get.  The party poppers thing, in particular, made me LOL. I think they should be called that from now on.

GoldenNaturalBlonde · Answer

i think it'd be sweet if i needed stuff and my boyfriend, which i don't have one tho, offered to go to the store and risk the embarassment of being in "that aisle" to get me what i need.

emiko_chichi · Answer

I would say yes! It would mean a lot. Since I'm a girl who has to have monthly bleeding. As long as they're comfortable and willing to do it. I welcome this kind of gesture. You don't have to go overboard. It's thought that counts. Especially if it's a emergency. Any female would greatly appreciate it.

Inexpensivefurniture · Answer

I don't see why not. It's no big deal. It's like buying toilet paper or toothpaste. It's just a product. Just let me know which one to get and I'll get it

MrOracle · Answer

I have no problem BUYING specific items - just don't ask me to CHOOSE the items. I need a brand and model.

SexyPetite · Answer

I've had a guy who is just a friend pick stuff up for me and bring it to school when i had an unexpected start that gave no warning

Liam_Hayden · Answer

Sure. If I'm at the store and she, or any of my female friends needs any, why should it bother me to pick them up? It's nature. People trip on the weirdest stuff.

LoU_Hades · Answer

I buy sometimes a pack of tampons, shopping is my task. I have the appearance and confidence to take stupid cashier's glimpse with sarcastic smile.
