He asked the woman where the laydees special day things were and she showed him to the birthday cards He had to explain and after she had eventually showed him where they were he had to queue up to pay for them while he could hear her tell the other cashiers in the office behind the til and they were all snorting laughing

The ghost is fab innit? makes you want to get the googly eyes out and make one.

My husband calls it either mud hut week (cos of some tribe that makes their women go and live in a hut outside the village for that time of the month).... or Japanese flag day!

I'm screwed then. Unless having a full weeks shopping piled on top of them on the checkout belt counts?

And do you pray at the checkout that there's nowt wrong with the barcode on those items?

My local shop staff tend to be teenage lads, so I don't hide them. I think frequent exposure decreases their mortification. Not that I bleed like a stuck pig, you understand...I has a Mirena

You're lucky. Mine won't go. No way. He makes sure I buy loads each time. Even inbetween times we'll be shopping and he'll tell me to get some....just in case

Soon I'm gonna tell my kids to embarrass him and ask him about the birds and the bees

My husband calls it "Chocolate week", because if left to my own devices, I would eat just chocolate for the whole week and, "Don't touch her boobs time" as well, because I swear my boobs go up three sizes.

And I so agree that it had to be a man who came up with the slogan "Have a happy period" ARE THEY MAD!!!!!

Whilst I couldn't go to the local shop and just buy them for myself... I have kinda had to get a grip and go and get them for daughter a couple of times.

And yes... twas a young lad on the till... under 18... he had to ring for someone to authorise an alcohol sale for him.

When it was my turn.. my basket had a bag of salad.. loaf of bread.. and a box of tampons.... he reached into the basket, as he went to scan them his eyes widened... and then they slipped up out of his hand... he ended up doing this juggling thing with the box for about 20 seconds... he went bright red... and I just couldn't help laughing and doing a Pretty Woman quote ("slippery little suckers")...

poor kid!

My husband will fetch them for me if it is an emergency, but won't got to the local supermarket, he will drive 5 miles to the superstore in case he sees someone who knows him - bless!!

Awww bless! What is their problem.. its so obviously not for them. My hubby caught a bloke looking at him as he stood in the checkout queue clutching a box of them... he just rolled his eyes at the bloke and said "looks like its gonna be a good weekend to mow the lawn"

All these men stories and yet it's probably the same men who say things like "periods....I could take the pain no bother"

Many thanks to all posters on this thread, I'm off to bed, looking like this --->

Surely only a man would go to a fancy dress party like this??

Edited - need to make the image smaller

Maybe this thread is what they mean by "happy period". When you're NOT actually having one

Materials

Playtex tampons with plastic applicators, or similar type
Hot glue gun or white glue
Wiggly eyes

the Christmas lights look quite nice.

Eventually, when we got down to the nitty gritty discussion when she was old enough not to be mortified...I enlightened her to MY experience as a teenager, where my Mother refused to acknowledge that my periods had started.

I had to make my own sanitary items from Mother's Pride bread bags, toilet tissue, and sticky tape. I kid you not, I rustled all the way along the 2 mile walk to school.

I feel your pain!

I'm not sure whether they have already been mentioned, but I really want to try those new Always pads that have the ball bearing whizzing about in them, now THAT would make for a happy period
