Guys who are weird about buying tampons

[sighyoung]

I dont mind buying them but when i ask for help cause i want to make sure im getting what im supposed to id like for the lady to not look at me like im some kind of idiot because i dont know what im supposed to be buying. Same for makeup its pretty freaking obvious there not for me.

Maybe she thinks you're one of those kooky sacrilegious artist types, off to install your "Kotex Christ" at the Whitney Biennial.

this thread makes me realize how much more i should have been demanding from my boyrfiends. it has never occured to me to ever ask anyone to get tampons for me. i should have been making them all get tampons for me.

This thread makes me realize that I should have faked embarrassment when buying tampons, in a sleazy attempt to earn sympathy from my wife for one of the easiest tasks at the grocery store.

I wouldn't trust my hubby to buy the right kind....I'm pretty particular about this, ahem, necessity. Sort of a funny story, for reasons I won't go into, my hubby did have to stop by Walgreens to buy an emergency "supply". He made the mistake of buying maxi pads...and I mean "MAXI", almost like kids diapers! Needless to say, I didn't use them.....so what on earth am I going to do with this box? Karma was working as the next day our church had a collection for hurricane victims. I'm sure my donation made some menstruating gal VERY happy....or they used them to soak up flood waters. Whatever.

I've never been asked by a girlfriend to buy them before. At the same time, I've never asked a girlfriend to pick up anything relating to personal hygene for myself either. Am I wrong in thinking that there are some things you just buy for yourself unless there's an emergency situation?

I guess it's different if you're married.

If guys feel weird or "weak" for buying tampons, why don't they also buy ice cream, lube, condoms and rope too? That will change the perspective in a hurry.

Or better yet, buy condoms, candy, and children's underwear. Now THAT'S a perspective-buster.

Next time you have to buy them for your SO, bring home the largest, most generic type. This will keep them from asking you for this in the future.

Airport security (or arena security) tip, Ladies: Always put a couple of tampons in your purse or carry-on bags, then get in a line with a male security bag checker. Once they espy the "supplies", they move you right on through! Works like a charm. Same for sporting events, male-bag-checker asks to check my purse/bag, I open the section which contains my "supplies", he turns red and waves me on through.
