I will admit that the terror some guys have when purchasing something like tampons is amusing. Are they worried someone might think they were having a period?

My wife once sent me to the supermarket for tampons. And I did it willingly enough, but as I was going out the door, she called out and asked me to get some ketchup while I was at it. So there I was, buying Tampax and ketchup. I think the cashier thought I was a bit weird.

“I think the cashier thought I was a bit weird.”

LOO, what a perfect story for this thread! You could have been mistaken for a “menstrual activist”.

i have been married 23 yrs or somewhere close(i lose count) :/ for as long as i remember i have been buying tampons for my wife and 20 yr old daughter, i don’t see the big deal. im forever getting the text to “stop and get tampons on your way home from work” don’t bother me a bit. As a matter of fact i have gotten numerous compliments (if you wanna call them that) at different stores about buying them. some like “my husband would never buy those” or “wow you really buy those for your wife, i wish my husband would” i mean they know it’s not MY period! i don’t see the big deal really. just my 2c

A hunting buddy went into town and bought tampons to use for dispensing liquid scents to cover human odors and to attract game.

He commented that he got a nasty look from the female cashier because he must have been a miserable husband for
purchasing the cheapest bulk tampons.

I routinely buy pads for the wife. Either at the local 7-Eleven or the local market.
At the 7 they usually put them in a brown paper sack - I nixed that and proudly juggle them around as I walk down the street with the Kotex pink package 28mm size.
