I agree with you, it should be "I am woman, hear me roar!"
The boys will be boys but men understand.

Personally I coudln't care if a guy see's me buying girl supplies; it doesn't embarrase me. I just reckon all women who get embarrase need to grown up cause guys know wat a period is about.

Why be embrassed about buying pads? In the first place, are u a male or female?

Its nothing wrong in buying pads. The packaging for the pads can be bigger, take for an example the pads for maternity use is much bigger compared to others. Do u wan to know why the packaging for maternity pads are bigger?

Luckyk,

Are u that shy to shop for "girl supplies"? Now its very common that most girls would ask their bf or husbands to buy the supplies for them. You shld not feel shy at all.

For me, I always ask my bf to buy the supplies for me during that time of the month.

Well. Yeah I can. You dont need to cover them up. Its a natural part of life and if people are grossed out about that, then they can get over themselves and stop looking if your cart. lol. And look for a girl cashier or self checkout.

Yeah, the pad packages are just bigger and brighter and screams out "hey look, I got my period". It really shouldn't be a big deal, but I just get embarassed

why do you get embarrased about buying the pads and not the tampons? Is it because the pad packages can sometimes be bigger?

Ok, that would drive me up the wall. If a cute guy was at the register. Thats why I can only buy my stuff at stores like Target were they have like 20 registers to choose from and there are ususally women operating them.

shopping for "girl supplies"

Oct 4, 2004 5:07 AM
Im almost ashamed to admit this. Im 30 years old, and while I don't really dread shopping for feminine products I only feel comfortable doing it at certain stores. I feel like other shoppers are looking into my cart sometimes, and sometimes I'll cover up a box of tampons or whatever in my cart with a magazine or something. Do I just need to "grow up"? Can any of you guys relate?
