Hey when a guy decides to be with a girl he has to understand that now he is her servant. What us chicks say go ! And us girls should not have to buy u under wear or those certin things. And she should not have to wash your nasty popskid under wear but we do any how. We cook,clean and pay bills. the least u can do is buy a pack of pads.  |

I think it depends on the situation. I don't "force" my husband to buy those products for me, but he has done it on his own out of the kindness of his heart when I was very ill. He actually had an interesting experience where this is concerned and loves to relay the story to his friends. When I was ill, he went to the store to get some feminine products for me, and when he got to the check out counter, the cashier asked if they were for him. Well, instead of getting mad, he replies "Why yes, yes they are, I'm stocking up for some war games with my friends, we soak them in paint and launch these things at each other like rockets." The woman behind the counter was left speechless, but the man behind him in line left and returned quickly with a box of his own. My husband inquired on his impulse buy, and the man said the rocket idea sounded like fun and wanted to try it out! LOL  |

I don't see the big deal. Would a guy buy toilet paper? *GASP* Imagine what THAT is used for. It's a product. It's a fact of life. I'd buy jock itch cream or rhoid cream for my guy. If some guy says something (or girl for that matter) to a guy for buying the stuff, THEY are the moron, not the guy buying it. Guys in my life have picked things up for me. And there's a lot of intimate products that could be much more embarrassing. Head lice shampoo, for example. Hey it can always be worse ;-)  |

I don't think that my husband has to go and buy my feminine products for me to show me that he loves me. If I am just getting out of bed and he is up and dressed and I need them, I ask, he goes. It's that simple. When he is out of deoderant, medicine, underwear socks and the like I, don't wait for him to come and ask me to buy him some new ones, I just do it. You know it's the same concept of your child not cleaning their room because you did't tell them to...LOL Question should be why aren't men capable of noticing when a woman needs new underwear, bras, is out of deoderant, perfume, bodywash, or feminine care products that when they are out shopping for whatever it is men shop for that they can't take it upon themselves to pick these items up for us along the way.... |

I seriously doubt anyone would belive you are using those feminine products yourself and what would you do if you had a daughter and no wife when the daughter starts menstruating and needs those type of products? To me it is just plain stupid that a man cannot buy those things for his wife/girlfriend. I have had to have my husband buy them for me once or twice and he did reluctantly the only reason why I dont ask him to is because he never buys the right type.  |

I can't speak for anyone else, all I know is my own experiences, and I have to say that I do 99.99% of the chores and shopping at my house. Even when I had a full time job, I still did everything. Just about every man I know refuses to partake in housework or shopping or anything. The only time my husband helps out with anything is when I am completely incapacitated. Now I don't like this set up at all, so yes, I've begun to nag him all the time to pick up after himself and help out with the chores. It absolutely amazes me that after all these years men still think that women should have to do everything all the time. What's so wrong with picking up some pads from the store? I can tell you one thing, if you really want to score some points with your lady, get her some pads if she needs them, while you're at the store, pick up something chocolate, and a rose. It'll make her entire month, I promise you. Like I said, I can't speak for everyone, but if your lady does as much as I do everyday, instead of complaining, just do it. |

Bottom line is that if you have a partner, it doesn't matter what their individual needs might be...be it feminine products, be it vitamins or asthma inhalers...whats the big deal...surely you would be willing to help your partner with whatever needs they had? Male or female? Also...heres a point...unless you are hoping for a baby, if I was a man, I'd be dang HAPPY to be having to acquire those products, as a lack of need could well indicate a larger coming 'issue' than tampons.

He has his grocery list and she has hers, right? So whoever is going to the store should be able to handle it. Why fight about it? And even if a girl to "shy" to go buy it herself, if she's able to get her boyfriend to do it for her, and he doesn't disagree, then what's wrong w/that?
