He grabbed the condoms, then saw the cartons of goldfish crackers and figured he'd get some while he was there, gets up to the checkout guy, and the guy takes a look at his two items, chuckles, and says to my DH, "good night, huh?" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-know-why-i-felt-so-stupidbut-i-did/page/2#post-1017167 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 18:53:50 +0000 MrsH 1017167@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I usually buy them where they have scan our own grocery but if I do go to a lane where there is a person I don't really feel embarrassed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-know-why-i-felt-so-stupidbut-i-did/page/2#post-1017158 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 18:51:29 +0000 mrsbookworm 1017158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still get embarrassed too. Just before my LO was due, I decided to buy Tuck's in case I needed them post-partum. I think I bought about $40 worth of stuff I didn't need just to hide them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-know-why-i-felt-so-stupidbut-i-did#post-1016973 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 16:53:11 +0000 Running Elley 1016973@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I always got embarrassed buying pregnancy tests and condoms.

She saw a couple furtively checking out the condoms. They were there for what seemed like forever, apparently trying to build up their courage to just grab a box and take it to the cash register. </p> <p>When they finally approached her to check out, my mom laughed when she saw what they were buying. </p> <p>A package of balloons. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-know-why-i-felt-so-stupidbut-i-did#post-1016941 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 16:36:42 +0000 MrsBrewer 1016941@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Kemma: LOL!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-know-why-i-felt-so-stupidbut-i-did#post-1016940 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 16:36:40 +0000 Littlebit 1016940@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I still get embarrassed buying tampons!

Maybe because it was the only thing I needed? I remember thinking that it was dumb to feel embarrassed, but I couldn't help it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-know-why-i-felt-so-stupidbut-i-did#post-1015798 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 11:25:40 +0000 tequiero21 1015798@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel awkward buying pads from a guy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-know-why-i-felt-so-stupidbut-i-did#post-1015749 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 11:13:06 +0000 MrsBrewer 1015749@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Champagne: LOL!!!!

Buying pregnancy tests also makes me feel uncomfortable! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-know-why-i-felt-so-stupidbut-i-did#post-1015619 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 10:38:16 +0000 MrsF 1015619@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm with you! I was buying a pregnancy test a few weeks ago (not TTC again yet - just a little scare!) and the cashier looked at my 10 month old and at the test and said "good luck..." Thanks. Ugh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-know-why-i-felt-so-stupidbut-i-did#post-1015605 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 10:30:13 +0000 mrs. 64 1015605@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't blame you. I've bought pregnancy tests in the store a couple times but it stressed me out too much. I was trying to hide them in the cart in case I ran into anyone, etc. Now I buy them on Amazon. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-know-why-i-felt-so-stupidbut-i-did#post-1015604 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 10:30:04 +0000 avivoca 1015604@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm 27 and still find it very, very awkward. I don't know why, but it's so embarrassing, probably because I look young for my age. And somehow, I'm always the one who sets off the alarm and the cashier always has to yell out, "It's okay, it's just the condoms/PG tests!" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/i-dont-know-why-i-felt-so-stupidbut-i-did#post-1015590 Wed, 14 Aug 2013 10:25:17 +0000 mamimami 1015590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Probably the one time I have EVER bought, erm... those things you mentioned, the pharmacy put them in a totally transparent plastic bag for me. THANKS!! That was sooooo helpful. LOL </p>
