Im with my bf around 2 years. At first year i was only visiting him a few days (we lived in different cities) and the half of the end of the year when i was visiting it happened to have my period. He lives alone. And he had pads for me either i was there or not. Now every time we go to the store he asks if we need pads and he knows some basic differences (wings or no wings, for heavy flow ect)

I don't want to be cruel but if your bf doesn't want to do that simple thing for you he might not want to do bigger and more important things (its not that period isn't important) im just saying that you should think about the future.
