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

Question

Such a Maxi Pads, Tampons, etc.

Lynx--- · Accepted Answer

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 · Accepted Answer

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 · Answer

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 · Answer

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.

Finchie40 · Answer

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

RebelinSteel · Answer

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 · Answer

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 · Answer

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 · Answer

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.

normalice · Answer

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.

Anonymous · Answer

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.

Samantha36 · Answer

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

sage2021 · Answer

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.

SimplyPut · Answer

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.

TheorionMage · Answer

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 · Answer

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 · Answer

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 · Answer

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 · Answer

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 · Answer

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 · Answer

Yes and her favorite chocolate  You are not a real man if you don't take care of your woman

katiesmuff · Answer

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

blackgaletiger · Answer

Buying female products is never the issue. Its less embarrassing then buying something like lube or even condoms. Depending on the person I’m with, buying the right product is more of an issue then being uncomfortable

blueonblack22 · Answer

Yes I don’t mind and who cares. It’s a bodily function women have and it needs to be taken care of.

But I wish women didn’t go into details about what’s going on during that time of the month. Just say you are on your period and men will already know what that entails. It is what it is.

midnightmoon05 · Answer

Men love taking care of their women. I haven’t seen any who is not willing. I have only seen women not wanting their men to help out.!

BadApple69 · Answer

Never a problem buying what the little lady needs! My only problem is if they don’t have the exact one needed finding a substitute isn’t a man’s job lol. Sizes and flow rates in a pneumatic or hydraulic system, sure no problem but those variables associated with a menstrual cycle? Just can’t do it.

ShadezMcgee · Answer

Done it before. Not a big deal. And for those that get weirded out, just buy some additional shit you need to make it easier to have it blend in.

BullShark · Answer

Of course, and I don't understand what the fuss is with men nowadays feeling embarrassed about buying stuff like tampons or pads for their woman. It's not like she enjoys bleeding constantly for days or that she has control over when her periods come, so the least I could do is be supportive of her

ManOnFire · Answer

Believe it or not, I am wayyyyy more comfortable doing that than standing in the lingerie section trying to pick out a sexy bra for a woman I like who has big tits. I attempted it and just couldn't follow through being the only guy among women shoppers. Totally embarrasing.

wysiwyg2525 · Answer

Yes, what's the problem. I will even shop for her unaware etc. It's nondiffer than you guys walk past the condoms or want to go in to a sex toy store. You all fear doing that espically the Walmart condom sext toy section. What's the problem of buying women hygiene products espically for the women you love.

Nik1hil · Answer

HAHA... i have been single my whole life and have picked and stocked shopping cart for my married male friends. With female hygiene products, pregnancy tests etc because they were shy to pick and look and decide which would suit their wife..

I am picking and showing them products and their specialty and helping them decide..

sean1234 · Answer

This question came up on my alerts, lol, that being said, I'm not nor have I really been in a relationship. 15 years ago at work at a grocery store, I got one of these mentioned products as a coupon. The woman there my age I knew said "you might need that in the future". I looked down and said... "I don't think so". She was annoyed

Yes that was then this is now, but if it ever happens I will happily ask her what she wants🫤

MiddleAgedClimbee · Answer

Geez, I've been doing this for over 20 years :-). Always happy to help and save time if I'm already at the store.

Curmudgeon · Answer

Just another item on the shopping list, no big deal. Now if there is a particular shape or type she wants, I mght be clueless, but otherwise, meh, it's like buying soap and toilet paper.

antelope51 · Answer

I'm not even comfortable buying them for ME. Thank God for Amazon. Buy it in bulk, have them back up the truck and get out the pallet-jack, and then I'm good for a month and don't even have to make eye-contact with the cashier.

IslaTheWitch · Answer

All men I know, including my friends have totally no problem with buying such stuff.  Now I'm curious... should I be embarrassed when buying condoms?

HawkPerception · Answer

It's not a big deal. I'm always a little uncomfortable getting condoms though, but that's for both of us 😂

BeenThereBefore · Answer

Buying feminine products isn't an issue for me. I've bought them many times for my wife and daughter. I know exactly what they want from having done it previously. The problem is when the store is out of it. That's when I use my smartphone and do video of the shelves. I've never had to do a return.

Actually, in my single days girlfriends were uncomfortable picking up a package of condoms. It was almost impossible.

GoodGuyBreakingBad · Answer

Hi there, If I had a special Lady in my life I would have no problem buying her Feminine products, that's part of me loving her.

smne35 · Answer

I have no problem purchasing such items I mean it's what's needed by your girl and I see no shame in buying a necessities, and funny looks and started l stares don't bother me at all, not like I'm buying anything immortal or illegal

GregorSamsa · Answer

Yeah, or when she goes into heat, she leaves a mess everywhere.

Anonymous · Answer

Yes my boyfriend buys me some times when he's home, I don't have a problem buying it myself either. Infact he knows when I need it and buys it before letting me know. That's why I love him

Lliam · Answer

Sure. No problem at all, as long as she tells me the exact brand and product she wants. I hate to bring home the wrong thing. Even better if I have a photo on my phone.

desperatelyhungry · Answer

So sweet to see the majority saying of course and that they have 😍

OddBeMe · Answer

Have to admit…first time was tough. But honestly CVS/Walgreens employees need some praise. They stay stone faced business as usual.

Last night, I came up with scalp treatment, KY lube and rash cream. Not for me though. The cat.

Bitch knows what she did.

SotiCoto · Answer

One picture would have sufficed.  And no, I'm not about to go making a gift of menstrual hygiene products. The girls I've been with preferred to keep that sort of thing at least moderately private.

NathanDavis · Answer

for girlfriends, friends... relatives, even a stranger, once... lol it just never wasn't a big deal to me

lightbulb27 · Answer

yes I've bought it all and carried her purse. I don't care. jimmy cracks corn...

sawno · Answer

Of course, people would just see me taking care of my lady.

Anpu23 · Answer

I've done it. Not that big of deal. If your uncomfortable just use the self checkout machines.

Peter_Penetrator · Answer

Rather than pouring grease down the kitchen sink, l soak it up with tampons. No joke. Besides, what better way to show the world you have a woman in your life by buying her feminine hygiene products.

Sevenpointfive · Answer

i wouldn't have a problem buying them (i'd say i was a transgender if they gave me trouble), but i'd probably have a problem finding which one she wanted. there's about 50 of those sonsofbitches and they're the same thing!

jshm2 · Answer

Always have, even for various girlfriends. It's no different than buying loo roll.

Some guys and girls (yes even girls) get all pissy and insecure about buying menstrual products. But it's a learned behaviour.

molonski2 · Answer

Would never be a remote problem for me , and I know all the brands , not an issue.

killergoku999 · Answer

I did many times and don't have any problems at all.

Joshydavid25 · Answer

I'm not currently in a relationship, but absolutely, in fact I wouldn't even be embarrassed.. I think buying condoms is more embarrassing..

Alex-Snow · Answer

I would even though I have not yet.. just bought condoms. But I have picked up products for my slightly older sister. We are very close. I just had her take a picture of exactily what she wanted so I would not get the wrong kind

elizamichale1 · Answer

My brother is always ready n available to buy my stuff

patrick994 · Answer

Of course I do, I don't see where the problem is;

rienna888 · Answer

only sissy men are scared. Real men aren't afraid to do it.

9in_Serpent · Answer

i just don't understand what is there to be embarrassed about?

jarkitor20 · Answer

I've always been comfortable to do that in every relationship. Even bought some for friends and family when they need it
