To think friends dp is the weird one not mine! (Tampons)

[ShabbyButNotChic]

Friend was at mine this morning for a cuppa gossip and my dp had popped to tesco for bits and bobs. When he came back he had got me the razor blades i had asked him to get and said 'i had a wander down that aisle and tampax were on offer so i got you 2boxes of yellows'

Nothing odd in this i dont think?

Friend was in shock! Apparently her dp refuses to buy them, thinks it is a 'private' thing and doesnt want to be seen dead within 10yards of a tampon basically... She went on about how fab and modern my dp is, how lucky i am etc. isnt it amazing how he buys the right ones etc etc.

Aibu to think that dp is not weird, and hers has very strange views??

I've been with DH for eleven years, I've been period free for six and a half of those years.

I wouldn't know which tampons to buy, never mind him.

When me and DH first got together he was a twat about sanpro. He couldn't touch even the box! I used to wind him up by putting boxes of tampons in the cereal cupboard or throw clean tampons at him if he walked in the bathroom when I was in the shower (he was squeamish about touching clean sanpro but thought it fine to do a shit when I was in the shower ). I had a period from hell and ran out of tampons, I was in loads of pain and leaking so I asked him to go to the shop and buy tampons. He was really uncomfortable but he did it and then insisted on always buying it as he wanted to "get over his issues". it worked, he now laughs at how squeamish he used to be. I use cloth pads now and he doesn't bat an eyelid.

My OH would buy them now but when we met 20 years ago he was still quite frightend by 'women's things' poor boy had a very sheltered childhood. My father was the type whose wife, mother, sisters or daughters didn't have any kind of bodily función. FIL is outraged at the very idea.

Your DH OP is normal.

Mine is actively encouraging me to switch to reuseable pads once our baby arrives....he said he'd just chuck them in with the nappies and wash. Dh does most of the laundry...I love him!
