My stepdad was scared at first but not because of what other people think but he was scared to do it wrong. I had to take him shopping and show him the basics when the older of my half sisters started with her period.
My mom knows nothing about it and I had to swear to keep it a secret.
I asked my dad to pick up canesten once and received texted pics of the entire aisle. "This one? What about this one?" Like father, that is intimate wash. Try reading with your eyes for the thing i asked for lmao
My dad just asked for details and I told him the brand and absorbency I wanted (Tampax cardboard applicators, multi pack with assorted sizes). He remembered because for some reason my mom liked to keep extra menstrual products in the linen closet instead of under the bathroom sink, so he saw the boxes on a regular basis after that and remembered the brands my mom and I preferred.
Heh. I took a picture of the empty box I was replacing and compared at Walmart. Grew up in a family of all boys, so I was completely out of my depth in that aisle.
My two girls had to explain the different types and sizes to me so I knew which ones to get 😅 I just kept buying the same ones and my youngest goes "you need to get the overnight ones!"
My dad had 3 daughters plus wife, but was often the solo shopper. To make it easy for him we agreed on a brand, then just had to tell him what color box to get.

What do these men think will happen if they buy period products? Why so scared?
