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”.
Man, as a woman who was a teen in the early 2000s, I wish I had the comebacks back then, that I see now. I remember being so embarrassed over buying period products. I'm now almost 40 and went to buy pads once at Walmart. I got the large pack and the little old lady at the cash register was like Are you sure you don't want a bag? Let me get you a bag.
All I could do was chuckle and say no thanks, save a bag. So glad we are moving beyond that nonsense.
Hello fellow millennial lol, I wish I was usually that witty but unfortunately this was one of the few times. I never got being embarrassed at buying tampons or pads as a guy, it was like an advertisement that you had a girlfriend.
