Buying personal 'items'

[Purple_Popple]

Does anyone else feel embarassed buying bum fodder and/or womens sanitary essentials. . .i do, everytime. . If I have to buy them I try to cover them up with other items in my trolley. . .daft but true. . Especially if I bump into someone I know. .. Cringe!

FT matches my livery & softest, even with the yen dropping

No purple, not remotely embarrassed, I'll buy those things openly and more to the point, nor would my husband. No need to be coy about it, everyone goes to the toilet, and half the population will need sanitary wear at some time.

box........i dont think the queen " goes to the toilet "

[boxtops]

Anne, she has a white kid-skin toilet seat, so she does perch.

I'm told the Queen does use the royal toilet but has her Lady in Waiting tear up The Sun into handy sized squares.

I thought fodder was animal food - I certainly don't put that anywhere near my 'arris !!! lol !!!!

[starone]

I shop online so don't give it a thought. Let the picker be embarrassed for me. I don't care!

[cazzz1975]

I dont feel embarrassed, in fact quite often I buy the big multipacks to save money, there is no hiding them :)

[saxy_jag]

Doesn't bother me at all. After all, we all need/use toilet paper (I hope), and we all know that women use sanitary products, so where's the problem?

McMouse, I'm sniggering here at the thought of Her Maj with The Sun headlines imprinted on her bum!

I must admit to sometimes being embarrassed about buying tampons. My local shop quite often just has 2 teenage boys serving and if I need stuff when they are on I leave it and go to another shop. I worked in a supermarket when I was 16 and they used to sell huge boxes of condoms and I'd be absolutely mortified when anyone had them in their basket :)

I once asked a young Saturday boy in Waitrose, where I could find the bovril. He took me to the aisle of toilet paper.........he thought I said bog roll............I think I embarrassed him with my helpless laughter. :))

beattie, lol- that's fantastic! LOL

Doesnt bother me, makes me laugh when I go and get them from a shop and thats all I'm buying and they get a small bag out for me, I just say no thanks dont need a bag. I remember getting some other month and starte to walk off and lady said 'do you want a receipt and I said 'why? can I bring them back if they dont fit?'

[DTCwordfan]

Whats the problem, Purple?

I find those Pearls make very good instruments for stirring one's tea, Double functionality they call it.

[4getmenot]

never understood why people go to shop to buy condoms, I went to docs ask for 'little green bag' which is more embarrasing than asking for condoms and got given about 40 for free

When I was in my mid 40's I went to the chemist for a pregnancy testing kit..............I could tell by the horrified look on the young assistant's face that she couldn't believe someone my age actually still had sex...............

[Prudie]

LOL craft. When I was 16 I had a Saturday job in a chemist and my single divorced mum came in and bought some grotty contraceptive cream off me. She never knew how disturbing I found it.
