My wife draged me into the tampon isle!!!

[Hakaii]

*shutter* yesterday, my wife and I had to run to the store to pick up some food and we started to talk about our daughter that is about to be born in April. She told me that one day, I'll be out and will have to buy tampons for her when she gets older. *the look on my face turns to horror*:drool:

Me: WHAT!!!!!!!! no! NO!!.....heck NO!!!! wh...wh..Why?

Wife: its going to happen sooner or later. common, lets go down this isle and I'll show you the differance

Me: wait no!!!!! *as she pulls me towards the feminin isle (aka no-mans land)*

as we enter the isle I can feel my man-hood dieing! she begins to explain the differance between tampons and cotex. (cotex! wings? what? are they aerodynamic too? what kind of propulsion do they use to achieve thrust? WAIT!! I don't want to know!!!!!)

Wife: ok Davie, remember cotex has wings, tampons have strings! now, If you look at..... DAVID STOP LOOKING AT THE FLOOR

****! busted!

suddenly, she sees a bag of cotex that were already opened. she pulls one out (to my dismay. lets face it, I just want to leave at this point) and she begins to squeeze it!! (Why? LORD help me!! please!!! I'll do anything LORD! Just please I beg you to deliver me from this place!!!!)

Wife:you see? this is how you tell how absorbant they are!!

Me:*gag*

Wife: oh stop! now about tampons. when she's old enough our daughter is going to probably need these "narrow" ones. and... DAVIE WHATS WRONG?!

*I go into convulsions*

Me: um... honey? *convulsion* can we NOT talk about my baby as if she has any of those body parts?

Wife: but she will!

Me: not until she's 30!! this is our B-A-B-Y were talking about!:(

Wife: *sigh*

Me:... can't she use duct tape?

Wife: DAVID!!!

Just go out to the gun range and fire off a couple hundred rounds, then eat some meat. You'll be A-OK.

Dude, face it, if you're having a baby girl, this stuff is going to come up. Better get used to it now.

oh yea, now your talkin'. If I could, I'd go to Kansas and fire off some M-80's.

[Mr. SmartyPants]

A true man can walk in those kinds of isles while keeping a straight face.

YOU ARE NO MAN! (Kidding kidding)

[Doe Johnson]

I've dragged my BROTHERS into that aisle before. Actually, I've bought stuff and left it with them while running off shopping for other things. I'm EVIL!

[ChristianKitsune]

ughh... that's so harsh!!! ^^;

DUDE I can't even go to the store with my dad to buy that stuff...I HATE GOING to that aisle...

and it's spelled Kotex

[KBMaster]

You think you got it bad? We ladies have to USE the things in those aisles. Lol. Just remember, you still got, like a decade before you need to buy her tampons and stuff.

[ChristianKitsune]

EXACTLY...

Eve was stupid why did she listen to that stupid serpant!

wow that is the first time I have actually used 6 emoticons in a post XDD yaaaay for immaturity.

EDIT: ROFL!! The computer guy and rant dude both get happy and made at the same time, and the computer turns off the angry switch!

[Puguni]

Did you have to share this? I'm a girl and I didn't want to know this. TMI man, TMI.

[indyrocker]

Ahh duct tape one of the 2 things no man should be without WD-40 for what should move but doesn't and duct tape for what moves that shoulden't.

[Hakaii]

you guys aren't getting my point. its not the isle or the tampons... its the fact that this is for my baby girl one day! she hasn't been born yet and were talking about what she'll be doing when she's a teenager! no, not yet thank you. I am a man that can buy those things for my wife, no prob. but my little LiLi-kins?! noooooo!! yes I know she's a girl but.... she's my little baby!!

[RedMage]

Hmmm. Gotta say, as a guy. I've never fully understood the trouble some guys have with this stuff. At least, not with just being on the aisle, or even buying them for a wife/girlfriend/female member if you have to - not like anybody's going to think they're for you. Though I guess I can partially understand your consternation about thinking of you daughter in this context and the sudden ambush explanation of the nuanced differences between the various products.

Okay you have somewhat of a point there. I'll admit that is pretty strange.

see? that's my point. sure its somewhat akward going in that isle. but I REALLY don't want to know the particulars of why that isle exists!! There are somethings A LOT of things guys don't want to know about being a woman. not that we don't sympathize, but heck, can't we keep it simple and tell us what hurts and what we need to do to fix it? especially with my baby girl in the picture.

XD Are you going to be a shotgun daddy? I know my dad is. ;d

[mitsuki lover]

Y'know I always wondered what Kagome and Sango did about that.Then of course
I'm a bit weird.

My own view is that when I get married and IF we have daugthers I leave it that stuff to their mother.

[Hakaii]

shotgun?! heck no!! I'm better than that!!! ....

I prefer sniper rifles and AR-15's

You're better off being an Automat Kalasnikov. They jam up less and are far more reliable.

Or a Fabrique Nationale p90. If you were that, you'd be the best dad in existence.

You know, there are days when you absolutely TERRIFY me...ABSOLUTELY terrify!

Anyway, that was kinda cruel of your wife to take you down "That aisle" when your daughter isn't even fully formed yet! I har where you're comming from with getting the heeby-jeebies down that section...In Wal-Mart, that aisle is right next to deodorants. So everytime I buy deodorant, my stomach starts churning.

What the heck...Ditto to what Socks said. o_o That's just scary, man.

And just so this post adds some value to the thread, I can see the reasons for your embarrassment. XD But hey, it's life. XD

[Kkun]

This post cracked me up, seriously. Poor guy. I mean. Congratulations!

Seek professional help. *not joking*

[Kuro-Mizu]

heh... I am a single male figure living with my mom and sister so this is kinda a fact of life for me LOL

although I wouldnt want to talk about an unformed daughter like that either... its wierd O_o

[Puritan]

I, like Red Mage, am not really disturbed by this type of thing. It's simply a fact of life, and my interactions with sister, mother, and other women have taught me to accept such things as normal rather than finding them odd or bizarre (not that any of these people were crudely upfront about this type of thing, but they didn't pretend tampons and the like didn't exist either). I have even bought this type of stuff at the behest of my mother or sister (although with exact instructions of what to buy), and I didn't really blink twice. Even if it's early, I guess that if you have such qualms about these types of things then your wife probably has the right idea about starting to teach you about them now.

Shopping at Bath and Body works (Present for my sister) has taught me this.

[bakura_fan]

=_= heck....I'm a girl....and I still try to hide the fact that I have to buy em...I hate those ailes with a passion (blushing like mad)...

[Tenshi no Ai]

I just hope that when I get married, it'll be to a guy who's man enough that won't get scared off by women stuff :/ ...but no way would I be discussing future stuff like that about kids :? Some things are best to wait closer to the time to discuss...

Heh, about guys buying women stuff in stores though, I always get a kick when guys come in to buy their girlfriends/wives some at my work. They always make some sarcastic comment like "Yeah, seeing a guy come in and buy this... I'm sure you get that all the time!" It's amusing, but at least they're man enough to do it!

HAH Thats funny.. If I was buying some I would probably go through the self checkout aisle... If somebody was ringing it up for Me I wouldn't say anything unless they looked at me funny... then i would smile and say "bad bloody noses... " just to see there reaction!
