Why do you guys have such a problem with that? I can see it to a point... for example, you may have to be in the aisle a little longer if you don't know the exact kind or whatever, but I don't get why you're embarrassed to buy them. I haven't met a guy (although admittedly this doesn't always come up in conversation!) that DOESN'T have a problem with it except my dad-he used to get them as a routine part of grocery shopping when we were in high school...

Bits, is this your signature? (R.S. Geist?) Just wondering...

Found at the Foundmagazine site:

Actually, no. It says it was Ralph's note...

Ralph's Note
FOUND by Jennifer in New York, New York
I had been playing my music (which can get pretty odd at times) one
night in my apartment. The next day, I woke up to a lot of sounds outside
my door. I opened my door to see paramedics taking away my neighbor.
He had died, apparently during the night.

Another grocery list, but this one needed "maxis". Poor Tom!

my husband and my son have no problem with it.....once I promised them their penis wouldn't fall off if they walked down "that aisle" they were okay....both have survived nicely.

One time shopping with Mrs. TR after we were first married we walked down "that isle" and she told me I would get over it. So when she made her selection and turned her back, I filled the shopping cart with every maxi, mini, super absorbancy, with wings, no wings and silky smooth applicators until there was no more more room in the shopping cart. She was so surprised when she turned around to put something into the shopping cart.

I don't think she's ever got over that

sorry. there are just things on my list that I won't buy for someone. Just as there are things that I don't expect others to buy for me. Women's hygiene items are on the former.

hubby won't wear pink. he's not a big cryer anyway, but i s'pose if it were really worth it, he'd be a puddle. but he's shopped with me, read directions, asked for directions, and bought my my OBs.

and he has big feet.

Real men don't need to qualify what being a 'real man' means.
