Based off a topic I started in P&OC it got me thinking. If you were with an otherwise great guy that was romantic, nice, compassionate, caring etc. etc. but he said he he felt uncomfortable buying you any feminine hygiene products, would it be something you would view as a negative? I have had girlfriends in the past and or me it's never been a big deal, I have bought pads, tampons etc. before and had no problem with it. Heck, so far I bought a huge pack of pads for my current lady friend.
But for some guys it can be an issue for various reasons, so for you if a guy you were with said he just felt uncomfortable about it and didn't want to, would that be something that would bother you?
I'd think that it was weird if he was out doing the general grocery shopping and refused to buy tampons, I would think that was weird. OTOH, I had a friend whose girlfriend at the time called him when he and some of us coworkers were at the bar and demanded that he bring her tampons RIGHT NOW. I would not expect anyone to do that. But lately I use Amazon Fresh for my groceries, yes, even for tampons. I highly recommend it. It's a huge problem-solver.
ive bought my ex pads on more than one occasion. I always got the wrong type, because I never new there were 100 different types....but whats the big deal? Id think any guy having a real hang up about this was either extremely immature or had some deeper psychological issues. Maybe one fo the many guys that have to do everything In their power to seem macho to the world? not sure.
I've never asked any guy to do that. It's not like I'm bedridden! I guess I'm not the kind of person who tells a guy to go get me things...and then also tell him he got the "wrong kind"?
And I was married for 20 years.
I don't think we're talking about the cloth kind with straps, but that would be a good prank, if she would tell him to go get those for her, and didn't care when he came back

I guess if he is doing the shopping anyway and cannot bring himself to throw that in the cart, I would wonder why? What dysfunction prevents him from buying a product at the store?
I'd only consider doing it IF there was some understandable or emergent reason for the request......an injury (broken leg, cast, etc) or say or if she was sick with the flu, etc. Otherwise, IMO it's her personal issue and she can attend to it herself.......just like condoms for a guy.....I've never asked or would think to ask a lady friend to pick up those for me since I've always figured that was my responsibility.
I also think if any woman does this (absent the valid reason) making it a test of a relationship then they are playing head games and attempting to obtain an element of power or control in the relationship by attempting to force a guy's hand or to "prove how much he cares" about her while passive aggressively trying to emasculate him a bit.
