Biological females, would you think its weird if a guy carrys tampons?

I have some in my school bag for my regular nosebleeds, would it be creepy if you needed one and it just so happened to be a guy that had it? I've rescued a few female friends like this.

If it was a complete stranger, yeah creepometer to the maximum.

BUT it'd definitely be a mixed reaction, if they were getting you out of a situation that you could not just bail on.


Most of the time the supplies we have need for are in our purse, but I can imagine situations where perhaps you just got lost/robbed of your purse and then you're in a jam.

It's a little more tolerable if a male relative or long-term boyfriend has your backup supply at like a private casual gatherings (someone's house etc.)



However despite what I said above, I think everyone prefers a female to back them up in situations like these. Relying on a male for things like these, is always a grit-your-teeth, and bare it, when it comes to embarrassment.


And in some situations it's scary to accept help in a very public venue, because what if the tampon is the wrong type/size or what if the person providing it did something weird to it and compromised it's ability to be used in a health-safety sense?


In most cases, the school nurse should have a pad or SOMETHING to use in case of an emergency; at least until you can get home or to the drug-health-hygiene isle of a store.

tampons for nosebleeds...?

yeah that's not what those are for.

I don't think this is really related to puberty. :locked:
