An Inappopriate Sharing

Why is it that I am a grown woman, about to be married with a full time job and I am completely and utterly mortified to buy tampons?

I just can't do it. Last night I went into the shop, walked around a little bit, felt really awkward and had to stop myself from running out.

Will this ever go away?

Eh, childs play.

Go buy a box of condoms.

No, it doesn't ever go away. When I was still needing to buy them, I would bury them in the shopping cart and pile things on them when I had to put them up for the cashier to pay for them. It was especially horrid when they were the only item I was buying because I forgot to get more when I should have. I would sort of go into a huddle position thinking that I could hide them under my armpit or something, but you can't hide a bright pink box!

Thank goodness for menopause!!

You make me laugh, rach. Where did you end up buying them? I know you couldn't at your local shop. I guess you could send Conrad out for some =). Mom

Hehe... much too funny, but no, I don't think it really goes away.

But yes, Karen is right!

I'm better at tampons, since in the last year I have bought a pregnancy test, yeast infection cream, condoms, lube, etc... luckily I live in the "odd" part of town, so the cashiers don't bat an eye.

The best part of menopause - not having to!! I am with you - only wanted to do it if they were in a large group of other items.

I just read Aunt MG's - sounds like we're on the same page!

just bought some at target the other night...hid them under a sweater I bought as well...I especially hate it when a teenage boy is the cashier-cute or not:).

I always go to the check out aisle with a woman when buying tampons. If no women are around I give myself a pep talk and really gear up for the moment when the man puts his hands on my box of tampons and scans them...there is no hiding them...there they are...yes I'm on my special girl time and I need to prevent some spillage. thank you. scan them. put them in the bag. let's not make this a big deal and we can all get out alive.
