I was just talking to my fiancee and she had to leave because she needed to buy some pads...

Why the hell don't women just buy a 1-2 year supply or something, i mean they know they need them every month for the next 20 or so years of their lives.

Buy like 5 packs of these at a time at least.

You know she'll send you down to pick them up.

But what kind does she buy, heavy flow days, that not quite fresh day?

Cause they like to torture their so by making them go out and pick them up once a month. Nothing worse then buying tampons from some hot cashier.

Bit hard to find storage space for 8 years worth of toilet paper. I've easily had a years supply at home though.

Because we don't like carrying them around the store any more than you do! :|

It occupies space.

Perhaps that's why women don't buy in bulk.

Free shipping at Amazon, no need to carry anything.

Can always buy in bulk at CostCo...

Tampons/pads, don't take up much space.

Not to mention my fiancee's house has a huge basement, so space is not an issue.

The reason why I don't buy in bulk is because I don't have anywhere to keep them all.

It's a damn good topic, and a damn good question! I buy Scott 12 packs on sale. If I could find larger quantities locally, for a better price, I'd buy it! I'll ask my wife why she doesn't stock up. Probably just so she'll have an excuse to go to the damn store.
