Tampons and Oil, I have to ask

3 Aug 2014

I ran across this and it brought back a memory, the first time my wife asked me to do this.

We had bee going together for about a month, lots of sex, and we went to Apple Valley to stay with one of her friends. After lunch she took me aside and asked me to get her some tampons and I just said OK and left. Got her a package of Super's and when I got back they were waiting for me. She took them out and cracked up. It took minutes before they could talk and it finally came down to a bet they' dam de. She asked me why Super and I said "You said you bled a lot and I remembered.

They had been sitting there the whole time I was gone joking that I would think it had to do with size.

That set my reputation among her friends as a guy who listens and gets it.

So, how many of you women have this problem?

I guess another fair question is how many of you guys that read this DIDNT know or was horribly embarrassed to do it?

I am always a gentleman.

You sir are a rare commodity. I have never asked a partner to do this even though to me it's really no big deal. My spouse thinks they are foreign objects and is afraid to touch a tampon if I leave a box out. He just asks if I can put those things away so he doesn't have to look at them. He is a little squeamish and it has seemingly worsened as the years have gone by. I don't remember him being this bad when we first got together. Ah well....I always was the more open minded one out of the two.

Tampons, condoms, lube....all my job to purchase.....oh along with the porn and sex toys. I am not complaining. This way I get what I want.

My boyfriend never bought feminine hygiene products for any woman and only ONCE in 14 years for me. The event happened because I was physical unable to get them myself AND he had a female friend with him who probably guided the selection process.

I know my way around an auto parts store and would have no problem going to buy oil; that's a no brainer, cars take oil and is the life line of a well working car. I suppose this could be an issue for some women, but not me.

I also purchase lube, condoms, and rent porn. dontknow

My favorite purchases to make at one time is condoms and pregnancy tests to see the look on the persons face: either one or the other is too early or too late. Fugly

I used to work in an auto parts store and always tried to be 'helpful' when waiting on ladies. Most of the time, they had NO CLUE d'oh!

what they were getting ... just being a dutiful person and chasing down parts for hubby / boyfriend who sent her to get whatever part (or supply...ie...motor oil, etc.) was needed. MOST of the time I could readily figure out what was needed w/o too much difficulty or embarassment to the lady.

Ditzy gal

came in one day ...dressed in clothes TOO tight and bouncing around bootyshake

...and said her BF was "working on her rear end" and needed some "rear end lube". I could NOT help myself... evil4

ME: "I'm sure I can help you, but I need to know if you've got a 'fast' rear end or you've got or a 'slow' rear end?"
Girl: "Oh ?? ... How do I know?"
ME: "Well...do you like to go fast or go slow?'
Girl: "Oh I like to go really fast..."
ME: "OK ..." and as I put her order for the "rear end lube" on the counter, I suggested, " He might need a special device to get that lube into your rear end ... its got to go through a small hole." (I held up my thumb and forefinger to show her the approx. size hole.) "...and you check the lube level by inserting your finger in the small hole."
Girl: "Yes..OK....Can I bring it back if he doesn't need it?"
Me: "Yes...you may return it if you don't need it, but I'm sure he will. Rear ends can be kinda hard to get lube into sometimes..."

By this time, I was about to bust keeping a straight face and the other guys behind the counter were having a hard time also. I completed the sales transaction and being a 'nice guy' I carried her stuff outside to her vehicle...I wanted to see her 'rear end' in motion.

(She got 3 quarts of 80W90 Gear Oil and a suction device with a short hose. This was for the differential in the drive axle ... a straight forward and simple sales order for me to fill.)

Sorry ladies...but LasarDaddy's pic. and question just required this answer. Whistle

I love it.

Sorry ladies, I cook, sew, clean, do windows, iron clothes, everything. My mother had 3 boys and worked full time so I had to learn. I make a better wife than many women. It's a partnership and if I don't then the dynamic is totally wrong.

My daughters know how to change a flat, oil, etc because I said they couldn't get a car until they did.

The auto parts story is great.

Thanks and keep it up.

All 4 of them men I have been seriously involved with relationship wise totally got this/get this and were really sensible and caring about it. Especially as I get a lot of pains when on my period they have all been very understanding and comforting.

Everything happens for a reason. Live for the moment and have no regrets.

My only problem with this photo is that I know what weights/types of oil are for what, and I even know how to change my own. So in that regard I'm probably better qualified to pick oil than a man is to pick tampons. I don't know any men who say they can change their own tampons....

I just love the way you think.

Like everything else, I know EXACTLY what I need and what I want or I do my homework. I buy my own oil, I buy my own filters... I know what brands I like that prevent sludge. I know the weight my car uses.

If I sent my Sweetheart to buy tampons, I would write down exactly what brand, and the colour, UNscented, and to get the smallest/cheapest box in that brand. I would not leave him to have to stand there and guess or have to call me.

It should not be a big deal either way.

I have known men who did not like to do this, and some who would do it anyway, and I have known men who did not mind.

Do I mind getting condoms? No. I usually let the guy... but do I have a problem or think it is a big deal. No.

I look at relationships as helpmates and equal... two sides, two people, so no hang-ups.

6 Aug 2014

I don't require tampons, so thats not an issue. However, not only do I know what oil goes in the various vehicles (the powerstroke uses Rotella synthetic), I can change it. I have broken down tires, and been a part of changing everything from tie rod ends to head gaskets. I've changed shear pins, PTO couplings, and teeth. I can toss a bale 7 rows high, back a trailer, and split wood.

That's how it should be. The whole concept of "That's a woman's place" or "That's a mans job" sucks. Other than making her pregnant or having his baby there isn't much that either can't do.

And I am impressed, 7 rows. I've tossed hay, 80 pound bales mostly and we usually went 6 on the truck but I could get 8 in the barn. That was in Oklahoma in August and I was 24-25. I used it to train, I was into dead-lift and that really worked my back. Now I don't have a back, oh well, it was fun then.

Thanks again and keep it up.

I can do 7. Prefer to go 5 then watch evil4

I get less chaff down my shirt and face that way.

For all that I can do the others, my preference is to pay someone to change the oil, tires, and whatever. I'd rather do the cooking to running a chainsaw or laundry to cleaning gutters. Doesn't mean I can't. It means its what I prefer.

Oh, and for the record, I think that red nasty ass gear grease is some of the worst smelling stuff on the planet. Seriously, I'd rather deal with a c.diff patient then get that goopy stuff on me.

Yes, but can you say all of this ten times fast?

I think NOT, show-off!

My tongue is tied in knots. Much obliged Dani lol. Wow, i`ve never had the pleasure of tossing hay, so i won`t be able to compare, but i have done cleanup at a construction site: concrete slabs, steel bars, etc. Though i myself prefer to cook, and cozy about the house.

Well, you know about Massage Oil...

(I used to be a Mod... I read shit...)

But I've bought tampons for my girls in my time... (I call them PARACHUTES 'cos there's a little rip-chord that's left out...)

xx SF

(Since we TOUCH upon the subject here... I've always thought, (for a MAN can never know) that it must be so TRAUMATIC a thing for a girl to be told... "Yes, it's quite normal and it happens for a few days every month...")

I'd be like, "ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING???????"

(To this day, when my girlfriends 'come on' I sit them on the sofa, tuck them up, put on a chick-flick movie and place a hot-water bottle on their belly as I go make soup...)

AND TO CLARIFY!!!!! I'm not SQUEAMISH about engaging in those moments... (Put a fucking Bath Towel under us, we'll be fine...)

You can’t truly call yourself peaceful unless you are capable of violence. If you’re not capable of violence, you’re not peaceful. You’re harmless.

Ha! I have daughters. I buy tampons, Mydol, nail polish, nail polish remover, hair straighteners, bobby pins, yadayadayada.

My girls know how to change a tire, jumpstart a car, load and shoot a gun, use hammers and screwdrivers and drills, set up a tent, build a campfire, yadayadayada.

I quit changing my own oil when I had a truck where you had to remove the skid plate to get to the oil pan. Too frikkin hard. So my girls don't know how to do that.

I got sh1t from several of my friends that I taught them to load and shoot a gun. I think it is, sadly, a necessary skill in today's world.

Will you teach me too? Always wanted to learn.

Of course.

True story: I have a handgun, unloaded, in a safe n my bedroom. I lost the key to the safe months ago. So if someone breaks into our house, I guess I'll just have to throw the safe at them.

that would probably fuck them up more than being shot.

Love it all, thank you.

I always liked the yadayadayada lessons myself. If I knew it I taught them. If I didn't I learned a couple things so I could teach them. I had never done sheering with a sewing machine and one daughter needed a costum with it so we made it together and I just bought the attachment for one of my Pfaff sewing machines.

Dodads are fun but never twizzle them without a lot of slickery stuff.

I've taught all of them and even shot national match with one. We used a 1911 Colt .45 ACP that I'd had accurized in a shop in Connecticut years ago but the recoil was a little heavy for her so she used one of my Lugars. I collected them before I married and could still afford them. My youngest son has them now. I did quick-draw for a while too but none of them were interested in that. My best match was 6 in a 9 inch circle at 30 feet and each draw was under 600 milliseconds but I didn't win.

All were taught what everything was about and how it can hurt or harm you. After I showed up they weren't even allowed to point a finger at anyone and say "Bang". Guns are NOT toys, even the plastic ones can get you killed. Pull one on a cop sometime and see the results.

Freedom and enjoying life are all about knowledge and not being afraid. I tried for that always. The girls all went to mom for the girl details about life but they asked me a lot of questions and I never had problem telling them anything or buying what they needed. They did get embarrassed when I'd buy them for them at first if they were with me. They'd "head for the car" usually but that stopped in a couple months.

One did ask me about what happened if a Tampax was in to long once and I just said it could cause some real problems so be aware. All are survivors and will fight for what they think is right. Same with the grand kids.

Who (or is it "Whom" there, a test?) has more anecdotal stuff about family and the problem with "Guy Stuff" versus "Girl Stuff". I personally don't think that there is anything that either can't do except getting her pregnant and getting pregnant. That's still fixed but they are trying to change that. Idiots!

My 2 cents

I am always a gentleman.

Or they'd start laughing so hard I'd have time to call 911.
