I asked my husband to do that before.

Haha I think it's one of those knowing it happens but not wanting to talk about it type things. It's like..everyone has come to terms with toilet paper but most men don't want to talk or think about a woman bleeding down there so therefore they don't even want to buy womens products or think about being in that section. loool.

I'm not ashamed to buy TP, pads, tampons, etc whatever but I am reaaally uncomfortable buying condoms. That's just a personal problem of mine. I've always been really shy about that sort of "stuff".

I think some men are awkward about buying that stuff maybe because they think it makes them look like a pervert (in some sense)

^_^ There is nothing wrong with having safe sex. Although, one time my husband and I wanted to try those his and hers KY lube (I mean the commercial made it seem like having sex without it was like crazy compared to having sex with it). I went to go and pay for it and the cashier was like "Have a great night" lol. I probably should have shopped around and added more things to the basket, lol I didn't even really think of it till right when she said "Have a great night". I did have a great night though, I just didn't like the way she said it. Lol can't a girl buy some his and her lube without the cashier thinking dirty thoughts?

Hahahaha!! I gotta say I love your sense of humor lol  Hahhaha another funny fact about me is I can buy anything for others likr for my mom daughters anyone but If I am the one that needs it I feel like everyone is watching me lol..

Btw.  on the ky gel lol Did she smile? maybe she was just being nice and u were the one with the dirty mind lol

Lol I was thinking that but I have never had a cashier tell me to have a great night, usually they tell me have a nice day. Lol she sort of looked at us like right when we were done paying for it we were going to bust the bottles open and use them right there. Lol there is probably a good chance though, that I was the one with the dirty mind. I kind of yelled at my husband because he always makes me pay for something when he's embarrassed about what it is. We laughed about it on the way home though.

Just like t.p these products are for human natures cleaning up! Obviously most of us don't wanna smell like feces when we are in public so we use t.p. Would you like to smell like dried blood because essentially that is what would happen is it would dry up on your skin and you'd probably not smell your best!

First I like reading the prior post from the guy who buys for his girl without discomfort.  Good for you.

When I was a teen I was self conscious about purchasing tampons, but then teens think everyone is looking at them, etc.  Of course as an adult it never mattered. 

What is interesting to me is that I never thought about this subject until it was brought up in the forum.  And of course the answer that is obvious to me is that Tampons/etc. are women's products.  TP is for everyone.

My mother used to make me go to the store to buy modess (they still sell them?)  i always wondered why my older brother wouldnt go.  now i have no proplem buying them for my wife  i guess its just conditioning.

I HATE IT WHEN MY WIFE TELL ME TO RUN IN THE STORE TO BUY THOSE STUFF BUT I DO IT ANYWAY.  I NOT ONLY BUY THAT, I ALSO GRAB A CANDY BAR SO IT WONT BE THE ONLY THING I BUY.

[Azanne07]

+Because EVERYONE uses t.p.,, and only women use 'the other' !!!

thats what i was thinking

[cowgirlx]

I don't see the big deal with any of it.  tp, tampons, pad, condom. None of it bothers me.  I usually buy it put it in the cart and then continue shopping.  If some busy body wants to look in my cart,  then I guess they can just be embarressed enough for both of us.
