Oh, of course if he didn't want to I would never MAKE him he couldn't care less. He was more reticent about buying condoms, but that's just because he doesn't like to use them

No sex? or sex with a condom? This deserves a thread of it's own

Really, a woman should take care of her own needs when it comes to this! I believe in emancipation, but what the fuck does that have to do with me buying tampons for her? I woman should do that for herself, let me take care of the flowers, a'ight?

abierman said:

answer this when you are married

charlottegelin said:

what does marriage have to do with this? I've been in several relationships, lived together with my girlfriend for several years and never, never, she asked me to buy her tampons. Really, what changes for a woman when she's married? All of a sudden she can't buy tampons herself anymore??? C'mon!!!!

abierman said:

I think things DO change when you marry, especially after you have kids. You work together as a team and help each other as much a you can, it needs to be a united effort.

Seriously, if she can't get to the supermarket, and you are going to do the weekly shop, you would protest about one little packet of tampons?

abierman said:

no no..i don't think she meant that
it's like what she said before

i wouldn't know (yet ) but couples often take turns with who buys groceries when...and because they are such small items, one might add it on2 the list, just 2 kill 2 birds with one stone, yakno?

i don't really see that it's a big deal with men buying them, but i would still make it a point to do it m'self

charlottegelin said:

Sure I wouldn't protest, I would be surprised if she did ask me.....I also wouldn't be embarassed to buy them since they're just that....a little packet. Still I think it's something the woman should deal with, it's just not a guy-thing to be busy with.
Ofcourse things change when you're married, no doubt, I just can't see why a guy should buy the tampons after marriage!

SammiJ said:

That's what I mean.....

abierman said:

I do the shopping 90% of the time so I'd say maybe, once every couple of years he might have to do it. It's no biggie. If he asks me to get the razor refills, I get them even though they are a guy thing. A bit of give-and-take, people!

GottaLetitgo said:

ahhh but did you know that it is the very same thing as you would use to treat your jock itch or athlete's foot?? doesn't seem so terrible now does it?


and why do guys flip out if you want to leave some tampons at their place??

GottaLetitgo said:

A girl can leave anything at my place, really.....I wouldn't give a fuck! One of my ex-girlfriends flipped out because I had left a bottle of contacts-fluid at her place, accusing me of wanting to move in at her place.....how about that?

There is nothing worse than not being able to take out yours contacts at night, yet this girl flipped.....now tell me, us guys are causing static???

I've only been in the situation twice where I didn't have time run to the store myself and had to ask my (then) boyfriend to buy a box of tampons for me. And it was no problem! I don't see the problem either. I don't think they are ashamed. I guess it is just unknown territory for men and they don't feel any need or don't have any ambition to learn more about it.

billyjackbitch said:

Ow c'mon, what is there to learn about tampons??? We're making a too big deal out of this with this thread.....

[phone rings]

Yeah hunny? I'm at the store right now and do you use mini's or maxi's?

abierman said:

not "about tampons" but the whole ordeal women go through every month

billyjackbitch said:

well, women don't wake up in the morning with an hard-on, feeling horny and not getting any.....and you talk about your ordeals???? Puhlease!

abierman said:

You are comparing a hard on to a period and the pain and discomfort we go through

you love winding people up

charlottegelin said:

Nikki23 said:

No, I compare having a hard-on in the morning and not getting any to your monthly pain & discomfort.....

and I love winding you up.....

abierman said:

So how often do you wake up with a hard-on?

Nikki23 said:

normally every day, it's nothing special....really! I see it as a re-confirmation!

abierman said:

Ok then ,so would you buy me tampons??

Nikki23 said:

Like I said, I would since it is really not that embarassing.....steal it wouuld be something that women should deal with..... I would also buy you lots of other stuff, but that's a different story....
Still, what are you going to do about my morning-erection if I'd buy you tampons???

I have no problem at all doing it,

But i have to agree with abierman on the un-used hard on thing

abierman said:

I don't know ,my mind is too innocent to deal with your erections

Nikki23 said:

, maybe it's just better to keep it like that.....(you askedfor it, though!)

Here's my take. Tampons are things that you will continually need. Stock up. You should have ten boxes at all times stored away somewhere. When you go to pick up a loaf of bread, pick up a box of tampons. When you run in to drop of the film, pick up a box of tampons. While you're at it, grab a pair of black nylons. You will need those on some Sunday when you go to church. Have about ten pairs of black nylons stored away too.

some guys don't seem to mind...
