If your SO is male, would he fetch tampons for you from the shop?

    Yes. Nobody thinks they're for him, after all....

    Yes, if he's the one going out then it only makes sense for him to pick them up. He'll usually snap a pic of the old tampon box or pad bag before going to make sure he grabs the right ones.

    Absolutely!

    He would probably complain a bit, but get them if I definitely needed him to.

    He would, although I have never asked him too.

    sure, but i don't know that i've ever needed him to.

    Of course! He's bought tampons, pads, underwear, bras, nursing pads, etc.

    I think he would, but I'd rather do it since I don't always use the same kind and most of the time I'd rather be the one to choose.

    Lots of helpful, mature partners on The Bee!

    He *might* if I really needed them and begged but I'm certain he'd buy the wrong ones or wouldn't pay even attention in the aisle. I'll just go to Costco and buy the big pack that lasts 6 months, lol

  11. MrsBrewer

    Nope never. He gets so embarrassed. I even had to buy condoms for us!

  12. MrsBrewer

    coconut / 8854 posts

    @Sofiel: I buy my tampons at Costco too!!! For the exact same reason!

  13. Pepper

    pomelo / 5820 posts

    Yep, he'll buy whatever! As long as I tell him exactly what to get. He's not embarrassed by much.

  14. Dandelion

    I think he would but I probably won't ask him. I do the grocery shopping anyways.

  15. sorrycharlie

    hostess / watermelon / 14932 posts

    yup. he was a trooper after I had LO..various pads, colace, probiotics, tucks pads, dermaplast..lol!

    editing: he did not bring home the ones I asked for (always!) but instead, the giganto Poise/depends ones. he tried!

  16. sorrycharlie

    hostess / watermelon / 14932 posts

    @Cherrybee: well, I wouldn't say he's mature. he acts like he's a 17 year old boy sometimes! lol.

  17. mrs.shinerbock

    pomegranate / 3779 posts

    I have asked him to in the past and he doesn't mind, but he usually brings home 2 or 3 types and they aren't the ones I asked for.

  18. pinkb

    pear / 1599 posts

    Yep! He has also returned them cause I got the wrong ones and he also got me the super big pads after I had DD. Nothing tends to embarrass or bother him, same with my dad. He always got tampons and pads for me and my sisters when he went grocery shopping when we were teenagers.

  19. Crystal

    grapefruit / 4028 posts

    Yep! He has before and doesn't mind.

    I'm sure it's not his favorite thing to buy at the store, but he's never made an issue out of it.

  20. Sapphiresun

    nectarine / 2220 posts

    Nope. He won't purchase anything remotely embarrassing.

    He made me go myself the day after LO was born to purchase stool softener because he wouldn't be seen coming through the till with it.

    My husband went out to gets necessities during a snow storm. When he called to ask if I needed anything, he totally balked when I said tampons. I basically told him he needed to get over himself and buy them (and he did).

  22. mamimami

    grapefruit / 4120 posts

    Yes but I don't want him to. Too confusing to explain the right thing!

  23. sandy

    cantaloupe / 6687 posts

    He has no problem buying stuff like that for me

  24. Meowkers

    persimmon / 1364 posts

    Yes DH has bought me anything I've asked for. Tampons, pregnancy tests, UTI relief pills, etc etc. I would do the same for him

  25. MrsStar

    nectarine / 2994 posts

    Yup! I've only had to ask him to get them for me once and he returned home with the correct ones as well as ice cream, chocolate and a gossip magazine

  26. Sunshine710

    cherry / 206 posts

    He does all the time and even bought the pads for postpartum. Have to be very specific though. I even show him a picture or text him a link to the product.

  27. Synchronicity

    grapefruit / 4089 posts

    He would, but I'd have to be super specific (like, text him a picture) because that aisle is overwhelming, even to me! I'm sure he wouldn't be super thrilled about it, but he would definitely get them.

  28. mrsjyw

    GOLD / wonderful apricot / 22646 posts

    he has in the past and doesn't mind, but I usually don't send him~

  29. Mae

    I've never asked and don't have much reason to because I do almost all of our shopping. Before we had LO I think if I'd asked he might've complained. But at this point I think he's seen too much and is un-embarassable.

  30. Adira

    wonderful pomelo / 30692 posts

    Hubs pretty much refuses to do any shopping whatsoever (even for himself), BUT immediately after Xander was born and I was nursing 24/7, he handled the shopping and was totally fine buying me pads! I just have to be really specific about which ones to get and where he can find them!

  31. lovehoneybee

    GOLD / wonderful pea / 17697 posts

    Yes, but I have to be very specific and write down exactly what I want, and he'll still send me a picture message verifying it's what I want before he'll buy it.

    It's been a while (IUD) but he used to go for the whole shebang and bring back Midol and ice cream along with them

  32. Smurfette

    GOLD / wonderful coconut / 33402 posts

    Yep! He bought them for me when we were dating once. I was at his house and he had to run out and grab something, so I asked him to get them for me.

  33. swurlygurl

    honeydew / 7091 posts

    I only had to ask him once (PP), and he sent me like 20 pictures of all the different boxes so I could just tell him which ones I wanted. Apparently there were more options than I remembered for pads!!

  34. Greentea

    pomelo / 5678 posts

    For sure! He has lots of times. Has no problem with it.

  35. snowjewelz

    wonderful kiwi / 23653 posts

    He would have no problem with it, but he may need to take a pic of what I usually get since an isle full of these lady things might get confusing haha!

  36. Alivoo01

    wonderful olive / 19353 posts

    Totally! He'll try to bury it or disguise it in the cart, but he doesn't mind getting them for me.

  37. pui

    bananas / 9899 posts

    He's gotten them for me before.

    He won't hold my purse for me however lol.

  38. Springtime

    pomegranate / 3204 posts

    Yep! He's bought it all.

  39. Mrs.Panda

    nectarine / 2358 posts

    He physically would but I am kind of picky about the products I use down there so I would rather just get them myself. Plus DH is a terrible shopper. He just grabs things that have a similar color and shape to what he normally uses. He will often come home with an off brand or two shampoos instead of some conditioner or things like that. He just doesn't pay attention so I'm sure he'd bring home wingless or something like that. No thanks.

    persimmon / 1230 posts

    Of course! I just have to be specific in telling him what I want.
