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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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...

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
