50 Of The Most Relatable And Laugh-Worthy Memes About Womanhood, As Shared By This Instagram Page

I sent my husband to get me tampons while we were still FWB. He's a good sport 😆

There is only one thing I know about this kind of product and that is this is way too complicated for me and that I cannot get "first hand experience". When I had to buy some for my wife, I told her to give me the packaging of favourite choise and two other possibilities, just in case, because I didn't want to take any risk.

I just send a picture of the box to him.

This! Except I had no lid but I remember looking at the box while I was in the bathroom wondering if the wife would get mad if I made Christmas ornaments with them...

Exactly! I mean... this person is doin' you a solid... and if you know they are just NOT good with this stuff (I'm using generic terms, because it's just a general courtesy thing) or is not comfortable with something unknown - why would you omit information that would make it miles easier for them? Especially TODAY, in the time of ability-to-send-pictures... where clear, concise pictures of just about EVERY product is out there? It doesn't even require "you must know how firm the vegetable is through years of experience" - picture and done!

When my husband and I first moved in together I asked him to grab me a box of tampons. He came home with every size but in the right brand!!!!!! He was so proud of himself for remembreing the brand he'd forgotten the size lol A++ for the effort!

That is an excellent life hack. The first time I sent my dh shopping I gave him a list, not long or complicated. Literally every single thing he brought back was wrong.

You did good by your dh.

Haha that's funny :D

I see the ways of the Designated Hitter have infected BP.

I've struck up a conversation with many a panicky and lost-looking man in front of the sea of tampons and pads and given advice. Often it's a father trying to buy for his teenage daughter. They're generally grateful for being given suggestions

Now I learn this! Been in menopause 4 years!

Very smart! Hope they were what she needed ...

You raised a winner who will likely make a partner very happy due to his thoughtfulness.

My mom started me on these huge diaper like pads. It was hard to walk without waddling. I think they were meant for nighttime. I didn’t know there were other options. It was a few cycles before I figured out they make better ones than she was buying

That's awesome. My family is very different. Well my dads side. My uncle threw a fit because my disabled elderly grandmothers adult diapers or incontinence pads( can't remember which but either way not even sanitary feminine products!) were in sight because I put them where she could reach them. His own mother. I was pissed and my poor grandmother just embarrassed but I think also upset because she knew she raised him and they turned out like that. My dad is not as bad as his brothers but he's still not open either.

When in doubt, get a variety pack, as in, for different types of flows. And, yeah, I agree with you about the stigma. Yes, it is gross (not exactly sprouting roses down there), but that doesn't mean that just because it's gross, it should be a taboo subject. I don't always (pun intended!) want to talk about my period, but sometimes I do.

Good on her!

I used to have really unpredictable periods that would sometimes happen twice a month. But yes, I learned to have tons stocked at home. The problem was not having them while traveling. Learned high pressure would start my period when I wasn’t expecting. Once when riding a roller coaster and twice on airplanes. All on school trips as a teen who hadn’t planned on it. And I had really heavy periods at the time. Bleeding through my clothes and such. Teacher on a school trip lectured me about always being prepared so I started always carrying some in my purse for emergencies. Mom never told me to do that. Scary teacher did

When I stopped, I had loads to give out to the homeless. Like, at least 3 shopping bags. And I keep finding some in random places.

Well that local ship has sailed! And nobody wants to shove stale stuff up their snatch ladies amirite

I can understand getting caught out when not at home---a lot of people are irregular. But I can't understand not having ample supplies at home.

I have a teen and a preteen and periods very far apart. The elder is quite regular and the younger has discovered painting hacks that seem to work best with pulled apart tampons. Additionally, my period starts very light, I manage with period undies and only need to supplement with tampons on day two. I honestly lose track of my sanitary situation
