Sure, wtf not. I buy what i need, it’s what shopping is for
Yup. If it’s on the list, I get it.
Yes if she needs them, I buy them.
Yes of course. Why wouldnt you?
Of course why wouldn’t I? Periods happen to half the population there’s no need to be embarrassed by it
If she needs me to, I’ll gladly run to the store and get them for her. Do I feel awkward, most of the time but I still do it
Yes, why the hell wouldn’t you?!
Yup
Nope. She’s on a hormonal IUD. No more periods
OP go first.
Yar…
Just adding a response to help normalize this behavior.
Yeah, of course. Also for my sister when we lived in the same house. Because, why wouldn’t you? Guys that won’t buy feminine hygiene products are the ones making it weird. Don’t be so insecure.
If she asks me to, sure. Not sure why this is even a question.
She’s never gotten them ever since we got together. Nearly 10 years together.
If they ask, of course I would.
I did when asked, but there was always the chance of bringing home the wrong ones. Gotta get specific about brand, weight etc.
I buy them for both my wife and daughter. No shame at all.
Yes, me too. If they’re on the shopping list I buy them. I know which ones she uses and what size, because she told me and I can read boxes. Plus they’re usually colour coded so it’s really very easy.
I also (this is the crazy bit) manage to buy them without feeling embarrassed in front of the cashier. Yes, thanks everyone, I’m so brave and strong.
I have bought many in my life. I have zero qualms with it.
I buy what’s on the list. I call her if I have questions.
If she needs something? Sure.
Out of my own regard? No because I always seem to get the wrong thing somehow
Yes, because she needs them
Absolutely not. I will not buy that stuff for her.
She’s got a hysterectomy so doesn’t have a period lol
Yeah if course, she knows the best deals
If she asks me to – sure. I don’t buy them out of the blue as a token of affection.
I see my input isnt needed but let me shout along with the crowd.
Yah, of course i do. Its just one more thing on the list that we need.
Absolutely. Whatever she needs.
Sure. Just need to know which exact one.
I have in the past, no big deal, but my wife and daughter typically just order feminine supplies or we pick them up in bulk. I’ve purchased for my sisters too.
Only if she needs them, bit of a weird gift otherwise
I think kind of if the marriage is a few years old or the companionship, if there’s refusal it’s kind of the guy needs to grow up? LOL
Of course I do. I’ll buy whatever my wide needs, I DGAF.
No, absolutely not, since her hysterectomy, but before that? Why not, I’m an adult and left middle school a long time ago.
I’ve got them any time she asked for them just like I would with a loaf of bread she wanted.
we both have our duties, mine is to provide for my family. her is to take care of the kid, empty my ballsack and fill my tummy with delicious food 😀
I always get the wrong one but yeah.
Wife has been in and out the hospital for about 20 weeks this year , got to man up and get the Doo dah’s ( tena lady extra 6 blob)
Sure, why not?
I will if asked but she and others have never asked. Seems they take responsibility for their body maintenance and don’t expect me to.
I live with two girls who have synchronise periods so I bought tampons for them regularly without any questions.
Of course, if asked, because I’m a grown ass man.
Of course. It’s basic courtesy.
I have, and would again if I needed to.
To me, it’s NBD.
100% I actually vist the Isles regularly to look for deals and stock up at cheaper prices. I’ve got a heavy flow lady.
M62 here. Why the fuck shouldn’t I do it. I did it without a second though for any girl or woman who shared my life.
And my dad (born in 1933) did the same.
IMHO any boy or man embarassed to do it seems to have a trouble of sexual identity. Does buying anything woman related make you less of a man ?
(English is not my first language)
Of course. She has enough to deal with when that time of the month comes around. Least I can do is get stuff she needs.
Why would you not? And not only that, why wouldn’t you know exactly what kind she prefers?
If you’re mature enough to have sex with her, then you should be mature enough to buy her supplies.
Hell, I picked up a box for my female roommate. It’s just an item at the store, doesn’t mean anything.
Yep. As long as she tells me exactly what kind she needs I’ll be happy to pick them up for her.
Yarp
Wtf not? If it is on the list I get it (after 5 followup calls because my wife never lists quantities or brands or volumes….. Tomatoes does tell me how many or what kind!!!!)
Of course.
Yes but I need to know what exactly to buy.
Yeah. Just another shopping list item for me.
Yes. I maintain all my toys.
No problem but I always get the wrong ones, there here is a brand that are “cooling” , the missus was hopping all over the place, said it felt like she put Snake brand cool powder “somewhere special”.. At least she was laughing..
Yep, for my wife and daughter.
I bought them for my mom when I was a teen because my dad wouldn’t and she was too sick to go out because of her MS. He did a really good job of teaching my how not to be a husband, father, and man in general.
Of course. It’s no different than buying something like toilet paper or paper towels. Nothing to be embarrassed about.
I brought home 5 types of pads and returned 4 because I was utterly clueless the first time. I thought heavy, normal and light were sizes. Weird way to say large, medium and small, but OK. I also got a variety pack with all three (why do you need 3 sizes?) and all natural ones. Ask your ladies to send a picture of their preferred brand. Cashier was looking at me crazy during checkout.
Of course, grew up with 3 sisters and it was normal, never understand why it is such a big thing to some.
I give other women and girls space if they are looking in that section in case they feel uncomfortable having a male there but I have never had a problem just picking the ones I need to get, memorized the specific one’s needed for my wife and daughter and every once in awhile I have a question but normally all good.
I don’t even get a bag at checkout, just hold them in my arms with the million other things 😂
I used to, but we’re old and are no longer in need of such products.
