I imagine that having a cashier ring you up for some tampons could potentially be really embarassing, especially if they have them behind the counter or something and you have to ask for them specifically. What are some ways to minimize the awkwardness of buying tampons?

I think a better question is how do I stop my self from buying tampons every time I go to the store because its so easy for me to do and no sweat at all that I sometimes do it by accident even. In fact when the cashier sees me approaching the checkout he takes a box of tampons out from under the counter and scans it in advance because he can tell I have a gf just to look at me

I've found that putting the tampons in before buying them makes their purchase much less awkward in comparison.

Especially if I don't take them out of the box first.

Before entering the store, just nick your Femoral Artery at the top of your leg.
While the blood is flowing freely down your leg (for best results wear a dress) walk in and get the tampons.
No one will mention a thing as they can see you obviously need them.

Go in with your best friend and blow him at the cashier to diffuse the tension and proclaim your homosexuality pre-emptively. Take back the power the tampons stole from you.

Buy them the same way you buy condoms, whatever that may be. Be creative!

Buy a bunch of other random stuff too if you're that much of a loving coward

The cashier will be way to put off by your spree-killer-in-training nervous vibe to worry about what you are buying op. I'm sure she will just try to get you out of the store as quick as possible so you don't have a supreme gentleman moment right there.

The first time I bought enemas I was like "it's a gag gift" that is one of the dumbest things I've ever said. Now I'm like hey got a coupon for those. Tampons are the least of my problems.

Aleuts rock, chummer.

I worked as a cashier one summer and liked to speculate what people were going to cook based on what they bought, buying medicine or sanitary goods really didn't concern me at all. :)

They don't hate you. They hate loving Sheila the dayshift manager who decided to schedule them to come in on their day off because their co-worker called in sick (aka hungover) and they're thinking about how they can't wait for lunch so they can get off their feet for a few minutes and check their phone and the nerdy dude who's doing a loving terrible job at looking inconspicuous as he shuffles up, face red with embarrassment, and slides a box of tampons that's hidden under a magazine on to the counter barely even registers on their give a gently caress meter but still they have to smile and act super interested in whatever lameass joke the guy's got about the tampons that they've already heard thousands and thousands of times day in and day out and once the nerdy guy is checked out and away from their immediate vision that person may not even exist for all the thought they'll give him

Boy, I think it's about time I tell you the difference between a man and a woman. A woman isn't a woman unless she's pretty. And a man isn't a man unless he's ugly.
You have two options:

1. Buy some tampons, maxi pads, diapers and windshield washer fluid. Tell the cashier you're going to conduct some experiments.

2. Buy some tampons, scissors, crayons and little googly eyes. The cashier will understand.

Tampons don't have expiration dates. So go on Amazon and buy a lifetime supply. Problem solved.

Mmmm,
You smell like Lysol Wipes.
Don't worry, I'm sure the cashier is only thinking "These must be for his mom, 'cause there's no goddamn way this loser has a girlfriend".

I used to be embarrassed to buy tampons and stuff but then I started thinking why the gently caress did I care if the cashier knew I had a period like almost all other non menopausal women? hth

One time I ended up buying pretty much every kind of constipation and hemorrhoid product Walgreens carried. I felt a tiny bit sheepish, but what can you do?

They'll check out non-Rx items at the pharmacy counter if you only have a couple. I've always wondered if they'd let me buy benzos and beer on the same transaction.

My wife makes me buy them every month, I just keep my face in my phone reading dumb poo poo while at the checkout stand.
