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 my own. Nothing to do with being ashamed, but I have never asked anyone to buy toiletries or cosmetics for me.
Similarly, I wouldn't buy DH his deodorant, shower gel, shaving foam or whatever.
I know which brands I want and what to get as an alternative etc. DH wouldn't have a clue.
