1. There are way too many choices in feminine hygiene now
It can be bewildering, I agree.

2. Really

Scented or non-scented? Light flow, medium flow, heavy flow, super Hoover dam flow? Glide or slide or penetrate with impunity? Industrial strength or a day in the country? Applicator or do-it-yourself?

4. "Women seem to resent me in that aisle"

HAHAHAh!! That makes me laugh. I imagine their dirty looks... :D

They should be happy a guy is shopping for his SO, for god's sakes. I can't think
of anything more progressive and cool!

6. I agree!
My boys would die....DIE if I ever even mentioned buying them with them in the same store. Who parented these two? I am ashamed.

21. It's not me, I swear!

Kind of a coincidence he shows up at this hour though, when I've been
reading so much of him lately.... :think:

Great screenname, BTW, to the bloke who picked it! :hi:

BTW, target is starting to build 3 jakes into their stores; male/female/tranny. chez progressive!

13. Since my husband does the laundry about half the time,
it's in his best interests too to see that my supply is restocked! He's actually less inhibited about buying the stuff than I am, from having been married 23 years to a woman with a much heavier flow than mine ever has been. He says she was awful about making sure she had enough supplies, and she'd bleed all over the place. EW!

15. Actually, they have been getting on my nerve...
I think I don't need them any more, then I can't seem to have enough when after not having a period for 8 months, whoppiiii, I have one for almost the entire next 4 months. Be Done! Be Done already!

...better tampOOns than the other alternative, I say!

:hippie:

17. yeah I would like it to be over as well
Edited on Thu Jul-22-04 04:53 PM by tigereye
and I don't think I'm quite there yet. Seems like it is every two weeks! But I will miss the "muse" as I call it, when it is done. It is usually a very creative if emotional time for me. BTW Cybergata, cool website. sorry this didn't post where I planned it to.

20. Thanks..
...it has been fun making it over the past 11 years.I started out with a couple of pages, and it just seemed to keep growing.

I won't miss the "muse." I one of the small percentage of women who gets totally nuts one week a month...well lately it is more like all of the sudden crazy, suddenly not! My husband is bi-polar, and my symptoms are exactly like his. We may be a little crazy, but we aren't dull! ;-)

:hippie:
