To think it isn't my responsibility to provide period products for adult dd.

[Mairzydotes]

I don't know if this my hormones talking, but I've just been in the bathroom and there are no pads left because my nearly 20 year old dd has used them all. I put those there for me.

My dd works , and I don't think it's my responsibility to provide them for her anymore.

Sounds like you have bigger issues with your daughter than just this... If it was only using up your pp than you wouldn't be posting for sure.

This is absolutely wild to me!

Do you really live in a house where it's better to hide things to teach people a lesson than have an adult conversation?

I would just make sure there are plenty of stocks at all times like everything else in the house. It's very petty to get annoyed with your own daughter about it.

Can you not just ask her to buy some?

Im pretty sure she's not been buying her almost 20 year old sanpro for two decades 😂

You can buy a pack for 50p in Aldi - just buy a few packs and keep a spare in your room. I wouldn’t begrudge my daughter for this!

I have to admit I hide my chocolate HobNobs.

Not really the point but I would 100% recommend reusable pads.

My thoughts exactly. This type of mean, petty attitude surely can’t create a happy, relaxed household or life.

If it bothers you that much then just lightly say next time she's shopping 'oh I think we're low on SanPro, would you mind picking some up while you're out please?'

My mum always bought lots for me and her when I was in my early 20s. She still doesn't begrudge me using her stash when I'm visiting and forget mine.

I've always had to buy my own, I started my period whilst in fostercare and had to use my weekly allowence to get my sanpro, so it think it's a bit selfish of her at that age to not buy her own preferred type and use yours AND not mention she took the last one.... but on the other hand I always make sure my DD has access to it although she tends to use period pants the most.
I think you are right in saying you are probably annoyed about feeling like you have to think about everyone else's needs and no one doing it for you.
Maybe have a conversation with everyone, down tools for a bit and look after yourself first before anyone else for a bit.

If they’re in the bathroom, then they fall into the same category as toilet roll and toothpaste in my eyes.

For everyone to use, but would be nice if people let you know when they’d used the last of it.. not that it happens much for toilet roll or toothpaste in our house either!

I buy sanitary towels from Aldi...46p a pack....bloody bargain...dd can use as many as she needs.

And both replenish as needed.

I have a 21 year old DD and it honestly would not register with me that she had used the product. I buy a load of tampons for various flow and tip them in a box, DD and I use as needed. I would be pissed off if she used the very last one and had not let me know or bought more to replace.

OP have you actually had this conversation with her?

Tell her can she pick some up as 'we've ran out'. Then have the chat about saying something if supplies are running low or getting some in ready. Don't just hormone all over her if you haven't had this chat yet.

They are about £2 and in most local shops and can easily be replaced
I’m sure if you asked her she would pop to the shop, good grief

We shared in my house until my mums periods stopped at which point she said she couldn’t be expected to remember anymore and we needed to buy our own. We were adults and working so that seemed reasonable.

Do you provide her toilet paper or does she have to get her own?

Pretty mean-spirited to use up the last of the "communal" supply of san pro and neither replace nor check that the other person is planning to replace.

My DDs are 23 and 25, they buy their own toiletries including period products. It started when they went to uni. I use reusable products anyway. If they needed some and I had them in then of course they could use them.

Do you want her to buy her own toilet paper and hand soap too?

She's grown up using it from the drawer. It just won't have occurred to her that they are different from loo roll

Why shouldn't she buy loo roll if its running low? I guess OP is bored of being the one in the house making sure there's enough of everything when there are other adults.

It’s a basic necessity for women/girls and it’s a pad, it’s hardly a huge cost! She’s your DD why does it matter? It’s a basic need! I’d give it to anyone if they needed it, even non family members or strangers… YABU. It’s your daughter!
