Ok, this isn't something serious or anything lol. But..how far do you think your partner would be willing to go for you when it comes to shopping for certain feminine products? This just came into my head because I know some guys who never would but there are some who just don't care.
My boyfriend could care less. I think I even asked him one time while we were at the store if he could get me some and he seemed okay with it. Lol the only thing he said was I don't know which ones to get. I really think that guy would do anything for me. I've had him hold plenty of things most guys would be embarrassed of while I've been shopping for things at the grocery store. Thinking about what he would do for me just makes me love him even more. Lol but I'm getting off topic. Do you think your partner would be okay with getting feminine products for you or even be with you while you shop for them?

There has been plenty of times that my husband went in the store and gotten me things I needed. Tampons, vagisil when I had a yeast infection, everything. He doesn't care. He doesn't mind at all. Lol. He is a good guy too. If they can do that for you it shows a lot. =)

To me, it means a lot when he does things like that. I guess it's just nice to feel that he'll take care of me when I need it. It's always the littlest things that can really show how much they love us.

I can honestly say that i used to be one of those guys that would look at you crazy if you asked me anything of that sort. I wouldnt even pass my mom her purse! But after the birth of my daughter, I think i begin to soften up. So i was like i should learn some of these things because i dont know if she will be in my presence when mother nature calls. And at that time, "I dont know, Pooh" is not an option. So I can honestly say Ive been on that isle for the first time in the last year. I got a few odd looks, or at least that what I thought when the women passed by smirking!

Lol that's too funny, a purse isn't even that bad. I think it's nice though when a guy puts aside his pride and will actually walk down that aisle and buy stuff either for his wife/girlfriend/daughter/etc.
I don't think my boyfriend cares. Lol one time a tampon fell out of my purse in his car and it sat on the floor of his car for days before I noticed. He even drove a friend home one night and he saw. Lol but my boyfriend just kind of shrugged his shoulders and laughed the whole thing off

i am sure he didn't like it much back in the day but he had to sometimes get that stuff for me and well, now he has two daughters to contend with (one is 15, the other 19) so he has had to go shopping for feminine products for them too at one point or another.

lol that's like my dad! I always used to see him buying the stuff for my mom and now he occasionally has to buy it for me too. He's one of those guys that could care less about it. Same with my boyfriend :)

Even though it seems like such a small thing, it's definitely something that means a lot to me. The little things always show how much they care :)

My partner wouldn't mind at all if I ask him to buy me feminine stuff/products. When we are not married yet, I always ask favor from him such as buying feminine products, and I am that happy for he doesn't mind doing it alone. And when we got married, I could even ask him to be with me and go shopping and buying feminine products and even stays and waits for me if it takes me so much time to choose my stuff.

That's really nice of him to do. I'm sure it makes you feel nice and happy when he does things like that for you

My husband doesnt mind if he will getting feminine products for me. Actually we always do shopping together and we consulted each other regarding about the products were going to buy. He never complaints when I asked him to buy me panty liner or even feminine wash. He also used to buy some make-ups, lipsticks, eye liner and underware too when he is on business trip. Also I think there is nothing wrong on buying masculine and feminine products when you already married or in a relationship as long as you really love each other.

Aww, that's so nice of him to think of you even while he's on business :)

I think my partner would rather the ground open up and eat him, than go to the store and pick up feminine products for me. He has no qualms about us spending some time in the feminine products aisle in the supermarket, and once he hung around while I was shopping for undies in the department store, but being in those areas by himself is something he would totally avoid. I don't plan on sending him on a sanitary napkin errand just to prove his love since that is something that he would be really embarrassed to do. He has proven his love in plenty other ways. I guess each guy is just different. Mine would die first before buying feminine products for me, but shops, cooks, and does the dishes every day. To each his own.

Lol that's too funny. Some guys react differently to that. But at least he shops, cooks, and does dishes!

Hi courtknee525,
My partner has been very supportive when it comes to these things, most of the time I get very bad cramps when I am on my period (TMI?) so he goes out and buys my pads for me only with very specific instructions, because we all know most men are clueless about this kind of things. lol.

Haha that's like my dad. Most guys need specific instructions on what to get..and sometimes they still come home with the wrong thing lol. But I do think it's nice when our guys are willing to take care of us no matter what.

I don't think that there would ever be a time where he would refuse to get me anything that I needed. I don't think he would like to buy them if he had to go to a proper checkout, but these days you can use self scan machines which will mean that nobody can see the things that he is buying so he would have no need to be bothered about it at all. I have never had to ask him to get me these things as I try to make sure that I never run out, but I like to think that if it was something that I needed, he would be able to go and get it for me.

I just think it's a nice thing for them to do. That they're willing to take care of us even though it's something that's a little embarrassing to get for some guys.

I saw few guys checking sanitary napkins,feminine wash and other girly things at supermarkets.
They looks cute and they are not bothered, well, no one cares as well.
It's not a big deal seeing guys buying those things these days.
And more men are willing to do it as well.

Some guys don't mind doing it but I know there are others who would be horrified to do such a thing. I think it's nice that my boyfriend wouldn't mind having to go out and get me something I need even though it's a little embarrassing for him

For me, I will typically go to the store on my own and buy my own, but that isn't because my husband won't do it for me because there have been times that I've had him go to the store and get them for me. In fact, I've even sent him to the store to buy a package of tampons for my best friend.
Now, the reason that I don't always have my husband go to the store and buy them for me is because of the fact that I'm a couponer and he isn't a person that particularly likes to use coupons when he does shopping.

Some men can handle shopping for feminine needs items better than others. i can remember my father being in toal disarray if my mother asked him to buy a package of maxi pads at the store. He would rather have done anything else . My late husband was just the opposite. He was never embarrassed or too intimidated to shop for feminine products. It did not bother him in the slightest. I don't think that it has anything to do with the strength of the relationship. It has more to do with what you are comfortable with.
