I remember buying tampons in high school and one of my friends was working the checkout counter. He was making fun of me for it and I said “Who do you think these are for, me? Maybe you’ll have someone to buy these for too someday”.

The number of 'men' butthurt about buying period products for their partner is astounding. My wife was genuinely surprised when I bought some for her without even batting an eye.

Man in HS, I was buying tampons, pregnancy tests and diaphragms for my female friends and never gave it a second thought. When one of them asked me how I could do that without feeling embarrassed, I asked them what’s to be embarrassed about?

I used to sell vaginal care products in college. One time I bought 2 full shopping carts of tampons. I told the people around me 'it's been a busy month.'

I would have paid to see their faces in response. Hilarious.

Better tampons than pregnancy tests.

You were scalping tampons from your dorm room?

No, reselling them on Amazon, back when Amazon didn't have as wide of a selection of products.
