Napkins and Briefs

I merely spoke what I had in mind. If it was that important to them, why would they forget to buy some when they had the chance? Even I would terribly be embarrassed if I found myself at a section where they sell a variety of contraceptives, though I think no section like that would ever exist in malls, since such items would only be related to activities that prevent procreation. A guy at a lingerie section longing to have his own pair? If that's a stereotype, its either he's not yet certain of his orientation or simply lecherous. I'd go with being lecherous since its better to pacify his desires through acquiring his own pair than to find a man trying on something that is specifically designed to make women attractive with less fabric. Here's something odd about the typical guy wanting to buy something nice like that for his female partner, why would he buy such a thing for her in the first place if he intends to have her take it off later on? Perhaps I am indeed bad.. But don't get me wrong, such things not only makes some females feel sexy, it also helps most guys get motivated. Being a guy who just passes by such a section can be tolerable but, to initially go there since other sections are crowded? If there aren't much women at that area, its probably because that guy is there. I definitely agree with you that embarrassment depends on every individual on any given situation. Thank you as well for this interesting discussion. ^__^

I could only cover what you have provided and you provided quite good A young couple? I guess they would be young if the wife still needs those items for herself or perhaps it was among the grocery list that either their daughter(s) or sister(s) needed. I know I won't turn it around if I were in that situation though. Its not like its in my bag that can be seen clearly or in a pocket of mine which would really be embarrassing if it were the case. I would probably be seated at one of the ends of the long benches of the jeep just to hide it Hehe, your welcome on that

Hahaha! I guess you've covered most of the points. Maybe someone has another take or idea on this. You are bad.^_^ Glad that you liked this discussion. I was just curious because I saw a young couple on the jeep. The guy was holding on the the bags of groceries and through the plastic and very clearly seen was the word: "Modess". Im not sure if he knew and I dont know that if he knew will he turn it to the side or he doesnt mind..?Anyways, thanks for making this a real discussion.^_^

you have the same opinion as most guys I guess especially in our place. Maybe your internet connection had a glitch or something that made your response appear twice..? Thanks for responding.

waaaaaaaaa.... why does my post appear twice???

Our comments contradic each other! I always assume that if a guy is buying panties or a bra that he's some sort of closet freak, because I don't understand why any women wouldn't want to try the bra/panties on first to see if they are the right size.

Yeah, I observed that even when the guy is committed there is always a bit of uncomfortable-ness(is that even a word?LOL) or awkwardness as you say. I can understand brothers(even when I dont have one, but I have cousins^_^) and my Dad can go past these kinds of shelves since he rarely goes shopping with my Mom and me. I totally agree with you. A guy shopping feminine things for/with his girl is really committed and doesnt mind what other people will think. Whenever I see couples like this I always think the guy really loves his girl.^_^ and to tell you honestly I get a bit embarrassed too whenever Im going hygiene product shopping(with or without a friend) and a guy I know passes by. Thank you so much for the response.^_^

oh, thats the term(social orientation) that Ive been looking for with all my 'it depends'. To tell you honestly, I bought briefs for a friend on his birthday. He's not my bf and we're not that close but I guess we're comfortable enough to talk about these things. At first I thought he was joking but I still got it for him, had a laugh about it and Im not sure if he uses it until today.^_^ Thanks for the response!

I guess your little brother got conscious of buying those girly business.LOL I really dont mind buying men's underwear but of course I would also be embarrassed if it was at a department store at the mall and I could be clearly seen by everybody passing by. I dont mind buying if it was at a boutique or something since that is more private. It's nice that you dont have to buy those kinds of personal items. You wouldnt feel embarrassed by that. Thanks for responding!^_^

Hi! Welcome to myLot. So that is a confirmation of embarrassing feelings with this kind of situation. Thanks for the response, jain.

Hi! I dont try underwear on for size too. I guess guys really do get embarrassed by this situation more for some than for others. Having contradicting responses is quite good. That means that there are lots of different personal experiences out there. I just hope that after reading about all or at least some of it I just hope that I can understand a bit more of this double standard as you say. Thanks a lot for sharing your experiences and your opinions. Thank you for responding!^_^

Nice.^_^ Another different response. I guess people are all different in a way. Thank you for the response.

LOL! That is a really nice response. The poor chaps.^_^ Its not a big deal for me but when other people are staring or something then that becomes something of a deal. Anyways, thank you for the funny response.^_^

LOL thank you for this amusing (but true) response.^_^

hahahaha! That is so true! That is what I think about it too. that when a guy buys these kinds of things for his girl, he really cares for her. Well, you're brother might know one of these days whats coming. Thanks for the response^_^
