...to ask a question about who buys your sanpro?

TAAT, sort of.

Posters were saying that lots of men buy their wives sanpro and are totally unfazed by the topic. Is that generally the case please?

It's never occurred to me to ask DH to do that, ever, partly because I'm a better judge of what suits me and partly because....well.....he's a MAN. My dad would have been mortified at the very suggestion that he buy such things for his wife or daughters, and in the intensely patriarchal country we lived in, he'd have been looked at very oddly by the pharmacist.

What happens in your house?

I buy all the bathroom stuff, includes shampoos, shower gels, Sanpro stuff, toilet rolls etc - I work near a home bargains and get it all in there. Never had to ask dp to get any for me, not sure if he'd have a reaction or not to be fair.

Whoever goes to the supermarket will buy it. Me or dh. Really I don't think men who've got kids are squeamish about this sort of thing.
