Men in relationships: Are you comfortable enough to buy any Feminine products for your lady?

[TenderFantasy]

Such a Maxi Pads, Tampons, etc.

[Lynx---]

Yes. I've done it many times. Being comfortable with it isn't the problem. The problem is getting the right brand, the right kind for her. Even if you write it down you could still get it wrong. They all look the same to a man that never has to use them. But not all tampons are created equal as I've found out the hard way. Bring home the wrong brand and you'll be going back. That's not fun. The pressure to not screw it up a second time is immense.

[bcc99]

Sure, tell me what it is, describe it in detail and send me a picture… there’s a 95% chance I’m coming out of there with the wrong thing.

[Avicenna]

If she wants me to buy them for her, I'll do it. I don't see why it would be a big deal.

[dynamicyandere]

It’s no big deal. I can pick it up as if I’m buying toothpaste. There’s no need to overthink about it.


Guys with a huge issue with something like this are probably the same guys that are afraid of the color pink.

[dynamicyandere]

Guys afraid of pink LOL: youtube.com/shorts/NgnnXxuyvZ0?si=wtBtv60W3m13Y_2L

[Finchie40]

Yes it doesn’t bother me , not my favorite thing to do , but not the worst lol

[RebelinSteel]

No a problem, you just add it to your trolley when in supermarket, the hard bit comes when her specific ones are not in stock or you can’t find them and need to ask. That is usually call girlfriend on mobile and pass it to the supermarket person lol.

[integrale77]

I have vague memories of doing that once or twice blotted out the memory.

No problem doing that I would use the technique I use for things I know nothing about and get the fiancé to send a picture of the package then I just play snap in the store 😂😂😂

[Adventurer23]

Of course I am. I've done it before and I'd gladly do it again. I have no problem with it at all. Especially if it's that time of the month, what am I supposed to do? Tell her "nah, you're out of luck"? lol For me, it's little things like getting things like that when she needs them that tells her you care. I have no qualms with it whatsoever.

[MrOracle]

Sure. I just have one rule: she must tell me EXACTLY what she wants. What brand, what model, what capacity (within reason), etc. I'm happy to buy them for her, but I'm not going to "shop" for her, because I don't have enough information to do so.

Otherwise, it's no different than buying toothpaste or toilet paper to me.

[anon1903]

I didn't know women were that fussy.

[MrOracle]

@anon1903 Just read @sage2021 's post if you don't believe me. Yes, they are definitely fussy, especially on their period.

[normalice]

in my opinion in a relationship men should be expected to buy all pads and tampons and women should be expected to buy all hair growth stuff and boner pills.

[TenderFantasy]

Lmao... geez.. 😛

[anon1903]

That's weird STOP 😂

[Anonymous]

I've done it a few times. But it was more that they'd go in, get what they wanted, and I'd pay for it. Once or twice I got the "wrong brand" (they didn't have any of that brand at the time, or they were out). So I made her get what she wanted, and then I'd pay for it. That way, I wasn't screwing everything up, and she would see that they didn't have any.

I probably would be a bit more embarrassed if I had a daughter and had to go through learning that stuff (bras, etc); I'd probably not want to get bras for the wife as I don't know where you'd even start and I might mess it up. I probably would get embarrassed with lingerie.

[sage2021]

Guys, just make sure you get the kind she wants or you'll probably making another trip to the store.

Just some advice for the guys. You don't want to piss off a woman on her period. And if you buy the wrong kind she will probably be pissed.

[mobiusforniner]

It’s a good thing there aren’t SO MANY options or else buying it would be so much more difficult….. lol

[anon1903]

I probably won't do that. That as in send his pads back. It's sweet that he cares about my hygiene.

[sage2021]

If you're in a jam, and can't remember which one's to buy, you can take a picture with your cellphone of the one's you're about to buy and send it to her phone. Tell her you're going to do this before you go to the store.
OR
You can take and empty package they came in and take it in the car with you. Then you can just compare packages once you get back to the car 🙂 There's always more than one way to skin a cat.

[SimplyPut]

Yeah it doesn't bother me in the least. I remember going to the store one time and grabbing only tampons and going to the checkout and the lady was looking at me weird. She rang it up and then was like would you like me to double bag this for you. So then I was looking at her weird and I was like huh? She said well that way nobody can see them and I'm like I don't even need a bag because I don't care if someone sees them. I mean this lady actually put her hand over her mouth and gasp and she was just dumbfounded that I was going to walk out the store with these things in my hand with no bag.

[anon1903]

Way to make it weird

[anon1903]

Some people are dumb as hell

[SimplyPut]

She was looking at me weird I guess because I was holding tampons and not trying to hide them because I wasn't worried about people seeing me with them. But when she asked if she needed to double bag them I looked at her word because I was confused on why she was asking to double back something like tampons when that was all I had to buy

[TheorionMage]

IF YOU keep a relationship with your female companion... surely you're mature enough to help her maintain the physiological means of your mutual stimulation. In MY teens over half a century ago males boasted: 'earning our red wings'. Some of my history's paramours say that oral or penile penetration eased their menstrual cramping. It certainly served to 'focus' their genital self-awareness and potential sensitivity. Others preferred to defer... or limit to manual sex play despite the bleeding clean-up.

[PizzaDaddyo]

I’ve bought girl deodorant and worn it and have no shame. I like the lavender or coconut scented things they offer for women that don’t smell as girly yet smells like a got a fresh shower. Most guys brands deodorants will have a series of “old man smells” or “teenage boy locker room smell” so I refuse buying most brands like old spice or axe. Mostly get arm and hammer men’s deodorant for many reasons but mostly because it works the best for me and they don’t smell funky, they even have to coconut in the men’s. I get tired of the same smell for months though and I change it to either the Sandalwood kind or fuck it I’ll get a girl deodorant, they smell great and are effective for sweatiness. Shhhh, for the record I’m a big scary looking manly man that only does manly man things. But my favorite girl brand is Secret. Shhhh!

[TonyV]

I'd rather not and your 4 pics ate a good example of why. There's at least 100 different options in that isle between brand and size/rating. Some stores organize them is stupid ways. Somehow they run out of certain ones, I was with the girlfriend, what she wanted was sold out and it took her a while to pick a second choice, how the hell am I suppose to pick if first choice is sold out?

So if you give me a list with 1 or 2 backups, and tell me which is more important size or brand then sure.

[WhiteSteve]

I’m comfortable as far as not being embarrassed. Like is the cashier gonna think they’re for ME?😂

The problem is more that there are WAYYYYYYYY too many variables involved. I can probably count on one hand the number of times I walked in and just easily found the specific one she requested. Regular, overnight, plus, wings, without wings, scented or unscented…. this just isn’t my lane and since I’m not affected personally and actually use and experience the product, I’ll never just be able to memorize what the right stuff is. I don’t mind buying them, but please understand that I can make no guarantees that I’ll get it right, lmao

[BoopBoopBeep]

My lady, roommate, coworker... I never saw what the hangup is. I'm not so fragile with regards to my masculinity that I think people will assume they are mine and I'm a woman in disguise or whatever silly shite it is that makes people uncomfortable there. A held a guy's dislodged eyeball in my hand one time so it could be scanned. I can certainly hold a box of common packaged products from a store.

[FunkyMonkee]

Sure! No problem. I've bought a few boxes before. Dad once told me that, when he was little, his mother used to send him to the store to buy them for her and her daughter. He had no idea what he was buying or what they were for, he just knew that his mom wanted some so, he went to the store and bought them for her!

[Gent207-2]

Yes and her favorite chocolate

You are not a real man if you don't take care of your woman

[anon1903]

Awwww

[Gent207-2]

@anon1903 I used to keep a period kit in my car forever ago. It came in handy

[Samantha36]

My fiance has bought me tampons, thrush cream and sex toys in a shop before

[TenderFantasy]

Damn lol.

[MiddleAgedClimbee]

I would think you'd pick out the toys together, but perhaps not. Good on him.

[Samantha36]

@MiddleAgedClimbee we do mostly but for my birthday he chose one

[anon1903]

You found a keeper

[Samantha36]

@anon1903 thanks, I think so too.

[katiesmuff]

If my husband is with me at a store when I am buying these supplies he won't even stand in the check out line with me! LOL

[Kelly6]

@katiesmuff
that very odd

[TenderFantasy]

Lmao. Some men still get grossed out by things like that. It's fine. It's not like you're not able to do it yourself at the moment? If for some reason you can't, your husband SHOULD be understanding about that, otherwise..

[Kelly6]

@TenderFantasy
True but if wife is unable to go and buy them, then husband should buy

[Adventurer23]

@katiesmuff Wow, seriously? 😆 I don't know why some guys get so weird about it. lol

[mobiusforniner]

What a puss cake
