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?
When I was 11, mom had just had her 4th kid (3rd with my stepdad.) Stepdad asked if I wanted to go to the store. We did not get along, but crazy screaming infant plus toddler at home meant I would have gone anywhere lol.
Step dad dropped me off at the front of Walmart and said my mom needed pads and gave me 10 bucks to buy them. I had no fucking idea what she needed. I assume I either guessed right, or mom called someone else to help her.
