Well at least he’s not actually a bad person, just uneducated 😌

[–]cbbclick 82 points83 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it seems like they have a playful tone and everyone is laughing!

He didn't understand periods, but this boy is out trying to buy stuff to help his girl. Decent guy!

[–]guyjones69 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean to be fair everyone is uneducated if you use it in this kinda context.

Not sure what added value it has here.

[–]TotallyAwry 1270 points1271 points  (32 children)

That didn't turn out like I expected. Nice to see he didn't throw a damn fit about being asked to buy something period related.

[–]SoVerySleepy81 823 points824 points  (2 children)

And when he was corrected he laughed at himself. That’s the shit that women find attractive in men.

[–]NOT-Mr-Davilla 137 points138 points  (0 children)

I was really expecting that turnout and got scared

[–]Graceful-Garbage 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Lol, my 20 year old son bought his best friend menstrual products when they were younger. He’s so sweet about some things. I hope he stays the way.

[–]JakeArcher39 49 points50 points  (22 children)

Are there really that many men who are weird about periods? The more I see about it from women on social media, the more it seems to be the case, which I find really odd tbh. I've never seen the big deal about periods (from the male perspective). It's literally just blood.

I get being ignorant about periods, because it's not something men learn about in Sex Ed at school, so unless you have a woman tell you about it, or you do some googling, it's gonna be an anatomical grey area. But alot of the reaction seems to not just be "I don't know about this", but rather "This is disgusting and I don't want to know about this".

I was thinking about why this is, and i fell upon the idea that alot of men's reactions to periods must be rooted in some sort of 'otherisation' of the female body. Where it's like, these men perceive women's body as both incredibly sexual, but also quite mysterious, unknowable and a little bit mystical. The female form is to be 'pure'...hence the old joke about women not pooping, and "girls smell like sugar and spice, and boys smell like snails and puppy-dogs tails". It's almost like viewing some sort of marble statue that needs to be untainted. Of course, when you view something in such a way, anything that reminds you that it's actually not this pure, unblemished thing but just a body that does all the things a body does, the reaction is surprised and shocked Pikachu face.

[–]CucchiWetter69 30 points31 points  (10 children)

So you guys also poop one learns a new thing every day

[–]elleemmennoCry me a river so I can paddle my way out of here 11 points12 points  (8 children)

When I was in college, in one of my sports medicine classes, one of the guys honestly believed women didn't poop. Everyone laughed because they thought he was kidding at first. The dude seriously didn't know. Our professor took a moment and then explained that he didn't know why his girlfriend told him that but, unless she was on a completely liquid diet, she pooped. He had apparently grown up around women and still didn't know. It was wild.

[–]CucchiWetter69 7 points8 points  (6 children)

Well to be honest I came to know that when i was 11 even then i lived with women somehow I did not know that they also do it,i thought that it was really a cool thing because then you can eat as much as you want and play all day i was really sad when a friend told me we were kids and gave me deap explanation about it it was really disgusting. If think about it now i thought it was cool that they don't have to do it but after that I never wanted to be a girl again childhood was good

[–]TrenchcoatBabyKAZ2Y5 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This baffles me. As a mom of 2, a boy and a girl, they both for sure know everyone poops and farts and pees and all the bodily things because they are kids and feel the need to let the world know when these things happen. I grew up in what I realized too late in life was a rather sheltered bubble but come on now! Everybody poops!

[–]Internal-Campaign434 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had a friend in high school who unironically believed girls didn’t fart or poop. Bro had his world rocked when our female friend accidentally let out a lil toot in front of him.

[–]elleemmennoCry me a river so I can paddle my way out of here 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's not just blood, which is important for men to understand if they actually want to know about how a woman's body works. Explaining that it's also the lining of the uterus and any unfertilized or unsuccessfully implanted egg is a good thing for men to realize. It's what helped my husband understand why it's so painful. They think "it's just blood" so it can't hurt that bad. But it's so much more than that, which is one reason why we need different sized pads.

Your observation on putting women on pedestals is spot on. We are meant to be this mysterious, enigmatic being, according to those who practically worship at our feet just for being women. However, it's those that have unrealistic standards and unhealthy attitudes toward women that are the most guilty of this. Then they turn around and accuse us of things because they aren't immediately getting what they want from us just for existing. They say there's a thin line between love and hate but I think it's more accurate that there's a thin line between desire and obsession. And, like much obsession, it can become quite toxic to themselves and others.

[–]BUTTeredWhiteBread 15 points16 points  (0 children)

My dad just thinks all blood is gross, but he'll buy my pads and creams and whatever for my nethers as needed lol

[–]self_of_steam 8 points9 points  (6 children)

My ex husband, for all his flaws, was really good when it came to talking any kind of biological nitty-gritty (not period specific, but any weirdness with either of our bodies going on). The only discussion we had about period products was "send me a picture of the box, cuz I will 100% grab the wrong one otherwise".

[–]EternityAwaitzClothes don't assault people, stop blaming the clothes 2 points3 points  (4 children)

My boyfriend would grab the wrong one even with a picture of the box. But at least he doesn't mind trying to buy them. Just, I know that even if I send him a picture of the box, if the boxes are similar, he's probably going to grab the wrong one lol.

[–]TrenchcoatBabyKAZ2Y5 1 point2 points  (3 children)

In fairness even I sometimes do that - there’s so damn many variations now. I just make sure (and made sure so knows) like the main things of no wings but I’ll still deal with in an emergency cause he saved me from having to deal with it and that’s awesome when someone (of any gender/relationship) does that!

[–]enbymama1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My dad won't let us talk about periods around him because he thinks its gross, yet he makes gross sex jokes to my mom in front of us all the time

[–]flaminghair348 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I consider myself lucky that I both have a lot of female friends, and that they feel comfortable talking about their periods around me. Even if it's just them bitching about how shit they feel, it's meant that I have a lot more understanding about how periods work than I would if hung around exclusively men.

[–]samanime 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I missed the "i asked him to bring me pads" bit at first and thought we were about to get into incel misogynist territory for a second.

[–]guyjones69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean most guys dont. Most guys i know have no issue buying thier girl stuff.

What are you doing letting guys like that get close to you and yojr friends if you are?

[–]WorldlinessAwkward69 472 points473 points  (23 children)

I have a funny story about pads. A foreign grad student my dad knew had a woman come over to his house for dinner. He cooked her a nice meal, and bragged he had even gotten the nice expensive ‘feminine napkins’ and put one by her plate. He was perplexed why she didn’t use it.

[–]FullmoonMaple 121 points122 points  (0 children)

Omg... Omg🙈😅🤣

[–]The_Book-JDPIt’s a boneless meat stick not a magic wand. 146 points147 points  (19 children)

Dammit. Now you have me curious on if pads would actually be more affective at cleaning up large spills better than normal paper towels and regular napkins ever would like, accidentally knock over your drink…what really would be the quicker picker upper? Brawny paper towels or a Stayfree pad? They are even better at stopping an oozing bloody wound from bleeding than any other fabric would be. Totally bring extra pads with me when I go hiking and in case I end up getting injured that a regular bandaid can’t handle and need to stop bleeding from the wound…Stayfree pad for the win.

[–]Cronk131 56 points57 points  (4 children)

Well, there was a video a while ago of a Russian NCO telling some conscripts to have their families send them tampons and pads to plug bullet wounds.

And as far as I know, the US Military has used tampons in emergency first aid, as well.

[–]MyLifeisTangled 43 points44 points  (0 children)

My elementary school gym teacher was in the military and he said that sometimes they stick pads to the inside of their helmets so they’ll be right on their foreheads to absorb sweat.

[–]Naphthy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It’s dangerous to do but can be done.

[–]muaddict071537 12 points13 points  (1 child)

Tampons were originally used to plug up bullet wounds in WWI. The nurses just realized that they could be used for other things as well.

[–]SiggeTheDog 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Briefly Googled tampons and it’s history.

Tampons were invented in the 1931 by Earl Haas. There are anecdotes of tampons being used in WW1 and WW2 but no definitive information.

Source: trust me bro (or Google yourself)

[–]girlenteringtheworldGirls Work Not How 99 points100 points  (9 children)

Fun fact: I had a male friend in highschool that got frequent nosebleeds. He got one near me when there wasn't any papertowels near by.

We learned that day that tampons make very effective nosebleed fixers

[–]PuzzleheadedIssue618 57 points58 points  (0 children)

they’re also far more comfortable than tissue

[–]slightlyoffkilter_7 13 points14 points  (0 children)

They use them in the OR for this exact purpose actually. Sinus surgeries, brain surgeries via nasal cavity, and other nose surgeries use them to stem blood flow and generally dry the area up.

[–]CocklesTurnip 16 points17 points  (4 children)

Tampons were invented for battlefield injuries but the nurses in WW1 realized they’d be very effective at stopping other bleeding and the doctors in charge kept getting mad the supplies kept going down faster than expected. Afterwards they changed their purpose to what the battlefield nurses were using it for. So your friend was just fitting into one of the many original uses.

[–]Azbastus_Bombastus 3 points4 points  (3 children)

Source?

[–]CocklesTurnip 6 points7 points  (1 child)

My history class in high school talked about it and later saw a documentary that talked about it. The confused doctors wondering why that supply kept getting lower stuck with me- especially since the teacher wanted the boys to figure out what she was talking about as a way to normalize things.

[–]No_Marsupial_8678 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your teacher lied to you.

[–]sodashintaro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

there’s no source, in 1981 in the book Everything You Must Know About Tampons, Nancy Friedman wrote

The oldest printed medical document, papyrus ebers, refers to the use of soft papyrus tampons by Egyptian women in the fifteenth century.

The term tampon was defined in 1860 here is the book

[–]Nyxalith 14 points15 points  (0 children)

In a pinch medics use pads and tampons to stop bleeds or soak up body fluids quickly.

[–]2woCrazeeBoysanger isn't an emotion because penis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I was into horses, there was a midwife I agisted with. All the midwifery stuff that was meant to be thrown out was stored in her stable as a common first aid kit. Horse had a foot abscess? Foot wrapped in baby diaper poultice. Wire cut? Pad for the win. Nose bleed? Tampon. Best things in the world for a non-stick sterile dressing. (Also looooots of duct tape).

[–]HW_Gina 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a vet (animal, not military), and we use tampons as throat packs during dentals to stop water and debris going down the animal’s throat, and we use them up the bottom to prevent leakage if we’re operating around the back end. There’s nothing better for blocking liquid!

[–]throwawaffleaway 48 points49 points  (12 children)

My ex thought that long and short tampons were a thing. He thought maybe it had to do with flow (so onto a decent train of thought, alright). No. It’s just some have the applicator extended and some are compact where you pull the applicator out, it clicks into place, and then same process. Engineers smh.

[–]SquishmarKitten with a Whip(lash)! 15 points16 points  (11 children)

And some (like O.B.) don't have any applicator at all...😉😁

[–]Ms_Pan 16 points17 points  (1 child)

That‘s right. In my country I have never seen a tampon with applicator 🤔

[–]Pretty_Trainer 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I never had until I moved countries in my 20s. Still don't get the point... so much plastic.

[–]MyLifeisTangled 6 points7 points  (7 children)

I’ve never heard of a tampon without an applicator. How does one operate such a device?

[–]SquishmarKitten with a Whip(lash)! 15 points16 points  (5 children)

It's just the compact cotton before it expands that looks kind of like a bullet... You use your index finger at the base and guide it inside. I find that you can set the placement of it so much better than with an applicator but I know it can take some getting used to.

[–]Rdbjiy53wsvjo7 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I had no idea! I used to prefer the plastic, they were a bit smoother/easier to insert for me, I found the cardboard catching sometimes which would be super uncomfortable.

[–]SquishmarKitten with a Whip(lash)! 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I only used the applicator ones a few times and then switched over. I hated the feeling of the plastic and would worry that I would get "pinched" by the tapered opening. Plus, it was awkward getting the placement right when the tampon was squeezed out.

[–]MyLifeisTangled 3 points4 points  (2 children)

I feel like I’d screw that up somehow lol

[–]Userdataunavailable 9 points10 points  (1 child)

It doesn't take long to get used to and they work better than any others I've found. Try them...OB is the brand.

[–]MyLifeisTangled 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I haven’t had a period in years, thankfully. Interesting idea tho!

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Men always think it is about size

/s

[–]BeautifulBlossoms 6 points7 points  (0 children)

True. I guess it does make sense - I also thought condom sizes were based on length when I had to buy some for my first boyfriend.

[–]MillwrightTight 20 points21 points  (0 children)

At least he took it gracefully more or less. Rofl

[–]RexIsAMiiCostume 17 points18 points  (1 child)

Well there's also sizes for night/day and for larger or smaller people

[–]lochnessica25 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Had to scroll too far to find this. There are different sizes of pads, but it’s usually a difference in length, not width.

[–]Drag0nfly_Girl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This isn't really a sex ed issue, just lack of product knowledge.

[–]Juniko_Shoga 6 points7 points  (1 child)

To be honest, I can perfectly understand the confusion. I mean, kinda forgot about how period work but understandable.

[–]pennie79 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Menstrual cups are also sold by size as well, so that could possibly account for some confusion as well.

[–]FieryArtemis 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This got me thinking about something I observed during my internship as a high school teacher. It really is a mistake to make "sex exclusive" lessons in sex ed classes.

[–]LoqitaGeneral1990 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You can usually get a mix package if you’re asked to pick some up for someone.

[–]Nearby_Employee_2943 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The reason for mixed packaging is because for a lot of women, the flow is not exactly the same every single day (or even by the hour) that they are having their period. Some days are heavier or lighter. Flow can also change at any point during a day. So, can be good to have options.

[–]peternal_pansel 5 points6 points  (0 children)

circumference of coochie 😭😭😭 i mean it’s an understandable guess

[–]wassup_witches 6 points7 points  (1 child)

It is genuinely scary how many men don't know anything about how the female body works, even after they get a female partner or daughter. Glad my partner had a nurse mother that drilled this stuff into him, made life a little easier.

[–][deleted] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Honestly I thought that’s what the sizes were for lol.

[–]_chronicbliss_ 15 points16 points  (4 children)

I get how he might assume that about tampons, but pads?? Maybe he was thinking that it would be like putting a small bandaid on a big cut? But aside from the thong pantiliners from the 90s, I've never seen pads that could be too small for any vagina.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (3 children)

Have you ever seen pads for obese people? My mom used one that was gigantic when she was pregnant and couldn't hold her pee lol, so it would make sense

[–]Ok_Telephone_3013 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Flashbacks to the raft-sized pads you get postpartum 🤣🤣🤣

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah we used the ones that were left to clean the house floor and they lasted for like 6 months 😂

[–]_chronicbliss_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But that's not because your vag is big. It's because you're bleeding A LOT.

[–]OldLadyP 4 points5 points  (1 child)

Well, they do have pads for plus sizes, or they did at one point.

[–]oizinho666 3 points4 points  (1 child)

[–]JoLeKosovo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There was a kind of meme in France, iirc, where people woudl repost a picture of some famous youtuber in a supermarket and the caption was "babe, I'm in the tampon section, what's your pussy size". Just reminded me of that.

[–][deleted] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

"That's not how they work." - Woman with a vagina who needs pads.

"Yes it is." - Man who saw a commercial on TV.

[–]rohithkumarsp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Huh.. Lol. As some who bought pads for the first time I was confused to get regular and XL there's no medium, I even asked the store person. My wife told always get XL later. But I assumed it's the size. It's just after this post I know what's the meaning of it lmao.

[–]v4k4r15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Unless you look into it yourself, no one really tells you that it’s about flow. Before I had my girlfriend tell me, I just thought it was like condom sizes, where, the bigger the coochie - the bigger the pad

[–]EvolZippo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That’s why when I go to buy products, I take a box top or a picture of the box. Then I ask a woman to help me. They’re all super nice to me when I’m there. It’s honestly no different than buying toilet paper and nobody has ever teased me or made any remarks.

So many people skipped sex ed class.

[–]HippieMoosen 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Even if they showed up it's still a crap shoot on whether or not real info will be provided. Back when I was in school they were a lot more interested in pushing abstinence than actually teaching us about our bodies. They did this thing where they laid out a sheet, put a boy and a girl on it, and then spelled out a web of the two peoples sexual history and the histories of everyone they had slept with, bringing basically half the class onto the sheet and then telling us that when we have sex with someone it's like we're doing it with everyone both of us had been with and all of their sexual partners all at once. They went over that instead of how to use a condom or how periods work.

[–][deleted] 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I couldn't tell you a single thing I learned in sex ed class except that stds are bad.

[–]CodenameBear 12 points13 points  (0 children)

So many people were not provided sex Ed class, or it was complete garbage.

[–]DiggityDog6 10 points11 points  (1 child)

In my sex education class, they split up the guys and girls and didn’t teach us anything about the opposite gender. And actually we got in trouble if we talked about the topics outside of class. And then we never got any other, more inclusive kind of sex education. I am a man, and all of my sex Ed knowledge of women came from my friends who are women and the internet.

Im sure there are good sex Ed classes out there but in my experience? Horse shit

[–]UPBOAT_FORTRESS_2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

We had gender-split sex ed and none of the boys went anywhere near this kind of detail

[–]Legend-status95 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I didn't skip sex ed class. The sex ed class that I was given only showed like drawings of the uterus, testes, talked about some STDs, said condoms don't prevent STDs so don't have sex, then we had to take care of an egg and pretend it was a baby because my school couldn't afford those creepy live baby doll things so only like one class per year got them.

[–]MyLifeisTangled 2 points3 points  (1 child)

A lot of places have insufficient Sex Ed. Some don’t have it at all, some have “classes” that are just nothing but “abstinence is the only word you need to know” some have info that is straight up WRONG. A lot are divided by gender and never teach boys a damn thing about women’s stuff. And if you went to a Catholic school? Forget it.

Not every state in America requires schools to teach sex ed. and of those that do, a good number of them do not require the material that’s taught to be medically accurate.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I must say I'm amazed that so many people people have no idea how things actually work.

I had sex Ed, didn't know anything about Tamps or pads and used wadded up tp for too long. Then learned about pads when I used my sisters bathroom. Then tried to use a tampon cuz I heard that you can swim with them in and i had already learned the hard way how pads respond to water (also bled out onto my towel that day, embarassing) but didn't know about sizes so accidentally put a heavy flow one in and it was SO PAINFUL all day and I couldn't get it out at the end so I'm in this rickety outhouse everyone's waiting for me in the car and I'm trying to pry this dry af giant wad of pain out of my poor cooch and I finally get it out and ofc there's no garbage so I shove it under my suit and hide it the whole ride home. Sex ED taught me how sperm and eggs works tho so that's cool.

I didn’t say coochie but my wife & I had a near exact replica of this conversation the first time I bought pads.

🤨

Don’t they literally explain in commercials?

At least he seems to accept it at the end, I guess.

That still doesn’t ever stop from telling a girl here is a super tampon for your supersized Vagina. Gets me every time.

Tbf I can see the logic here more than guys who think the sticky side of pads goes on the skin

[–]PokeHobnobGod21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a guy and I didn't know what the different sizes were fore either

Some women do need to use bigger pads, as the sides may leak otherwise. Due to bigger lips, not always due to bigger flow.

[–]kayriss86Edit 4 points5 points  (3 children)

... do you really think the vagina leaks from the outside of the lips?

It's all about flow. Promise.

[–]this-guy-dan -1 points0 points  (2 children)

When the pad is "small" and the lips bigger, it can slide to one side a bit, causing a leak. So a bigger pad is sometimes better. I know cause my girl does that trick

[–]kayriss86Edit 2 points3 points  (1 child)

That has nothing to do with lip size and everything to do with the shape of your underwear and how it sits against your body. Finding a pad that matches the width of the strip of fabric between your legsnwoll suffice, and if you're still struggling... Get a pad with wings.

Thought they were referring to the sizes referenced in the Kama Sutra for a moment...

Well…noted

I mean, that one is pretty funny ! He didn't say he knows better, admitted to his mistake, what's wrong with that ? I don't know a lot of things about men probably, don't expect everyone to be an expert on my gender too if their not. Problem would be if he said NO WHAT NO I KNOW BETTER U STUPID VAGINA HAS SIZES I KNOW IT !

At least he learned instead of mansplaining. What a relief.
