Your husband is funny. That's hilarious that he gets fascinated over them. My husband gets all weird in that aisle. I doubt men use pads for bladder control. They really aren't designed for that. Maybe the overnight ones but they would show though their pants.
I guess when men pee they pee in different areas than women thus the depends for men.
Nah, I just tied some string really tight around it so I don't wet the bed. However, it has turned black and doesn't look so good perhaps I need to re-think this.
My husband will if I need him to, but I have to be really really specific about what I want. There are too many choices, and I don't expect him to remember what brand and type I like.
My fiance bought me cold medicine and tampons in one trip- I think I'll keep him.
I do have a memory of being a young teen and going to the store with my dad for "supplies" the first time I got my period because my mom was out of town. He and I stood there for literally 15 minutes trying to figure out what to get. When it came time to check out, he shoved a $20 in my hand and ran out to the car. He was so happy when my mom came home so he didn't have to talk to me about it.
I put some on the shopping list once for DH. After about 4 phones calls to ensure the right ones, and why don't I like the other ones, and have ever tried these....
The man was very detailed oriented, and while it had nothing to do with feminine hygiene, I just ended up not sending him to the store anymore...
Really it was just easier for me to go than to field a phone call after phone call on SPECIFICALLY what olives I needed...
I did do that, in a small town in China. The word for sanitary napkins and for toilet paper are, to me, indistinguishable in Chinese, so that was hilarious. I had to draw a cartoon.
It was payback for the time, a month earlier, also in China, when she had to go and try to explain to the pharmacist that I was back in the hotel having a kidney stone attack, which she did with body language.
The question reminds me of one of the best TV commercials I ever saw. Young couple shopping together:
She: Oh, look, Playtex bras are on sale. Help me find my size.
He: Are you kidding? What if somebody sees me?
She (punching him on the shoulder): Wimp!
I would and while I'm at it I'd grab a couple of D batteries...
True story:
Back in the day when I worked for a music/video store a guy comes in and asks if we had D batteries. I grab a set of batteries and he's starts comparing them to this diagram on this piece of paper. For some reason or the other he couldn't figure out or know if the batteries were the right 'size' so he starts placing them on the diagram to see if they 'fit'. The diagram looked mighty familiar...
That doesn't really have anything to do with this thread...
My ex-husband had no problem buying me supplies, though the first time he did it, when we were still dating, he felt the need to tell the cashier "These are for my girlfriend". >.< He said he also felt a little silly perusing the different types and brands and absorbancies, and would scoot down the aisle toward the condom section when anyone walked by. But I remember one day, I had an especially...um..."messy" day, and it caught me by surprise. I asked him if he would buy me a big box of tampons and pads, the overnighters, and he stammered "You need BOTH?!" I guess one or the other is okay, but both is embarrassing. But he did it.
My ex-boyfriend in Chile, however, was so thrilled to go to the pharmacy and get my supplies - he'd never done it, before. I wrote down exactly what I needed, because in Santiago you have to ask for this stuff over the counter. He was grinning ear-to-ear when he returned, so proud of himself.
