Feeling uncomfortable buying feminine hygiene products
This isnt a personal thing for me but I was just with a friend who got really uncomfortable when buying products and she would absolutely not go to a male at the counter I was quite shocked as I never really thought about it
Was just thinking is it a normal thing that women feel ashamed for buying products that they need

When I was a young teenager yes, not now. It’s just a normal part of life after all. If I was that bothered I’d use a self checkout till if there was one, otherwise I definitely wouldn’t be embarrassed. And it’s not like the shop employee would say anything!

Have to be honest
If there's a male on a checkout with no queue, or a female with a queue..I will pick the female with a queue 🤣 sometimes I've no choice but prefer a female. |

It isn’t a thing for me I even get my husband to pick them up from Costco like any other item.
Does she say why she’s embarrassed? |

Wow that's actually really opened my eyes
I talked to my family and it seems like something that's really common

Maybe as a teenager but certainly not now. My husband will get them for me too if he’s shopping and I’m in need. No different to buying toilet rolls really.

When I was a Saturday girl at Boots many years ago (over 35yrs ago!) we were taught to double bag ST products so that people wouldn't be embarrassed about them being seen through the plastic carriers! I think things have changed so much now for the better that most people don't even think about it, they are just products we need to buy. However some people will always feel awkward about such things.

She just said that she felt really self conscious about it all, like people know that right now her body is going through the monthly "flush" and it's not something she wants to broadcast as such and I found it really strange

My Daughter every time she visits seems to send me to the local chemist to buy Tampax.
I couldn't care less. She has even sent her Brother!
