Well what if they wanted a newer/different kind? It's kind of hard to plan like a year ahead for something like that... I wouldn't want someone to open a closet and find a year's supply of pads

I think my girlfriend has been using the same ones for years... and unless you hang out with 12 year olds, i don't see anyone giving a damn about you having a closet full of pads that you NEED.
I love buying these things. My SO blushes when she has to (she's catholic and pretty conservative) so I do it. Here are the keys:
If you are seen buying these products, people think you are either creepy or have a SO. If you have a SO, you don't care what others think. If you don't have a SO, you are, in fact, creepy and probably don't care what others think.
Go shopping for those badboys. Neglect to shave for a few days, throw on the leather jacket and a pair of Zubas and stand in the aisle for a while. Really study and compair your options. If you aren't sent without a specific item to buy, it's up to you, as a male that mostly doesn't know sh!t about the female anatomy to make that choice. It's like standing in front of the beer cooler trying to decide what to buy. You know they all get the job done, you just want to pick out what's right for the moment.
Double the fun: ask purchase advise from fellow customers. Ask the blue-hair if the wings really help. That hot mom with her 12yo son - ask her if it's really good for all day. You're not sure - Pick up an assortment and throw 'em in the cart. While you're there, stop in housewears and pick up a toilet plunger, a whole mess of rubber gloves, and a case of Twinkies. Proudly throw them on the counter to pay for them.
Bonus points: aim for a male cashier with braces and a squeaky voice. Ask him "does your bitch go through this many of these things in a week, too?"

Becuase women love shopping. I was once on a work assignment for 6 months, and I had a nice big apartment with lots of storage, so I went out and bought $300 worth of things like soap, shampoo, paper towels, kleenex, razors, etc, basically all of the repetitive shopping that I do - for 6 months worth of stuff. It was great. The funny thing was, I actually managed to time it pretty well - so when I ended up there for ~8 months, it took me a while before I realized that suddenly I was out in target etc a lot more often for no good reason.
I told my gf that story and she couldn't possibly see why I would want to get it all done with in one big purchase. But I probably saved myself $500 in all the random crap I would have picked up at the store just because I was there.
PS: Now I live in a small house with no storage, so I have to think twice before I even do things like buy the 8 pack of paper towels on sale for $4 - sometimes I just don't have room to store that crap...
I dont understand why guys have a problem buying tampons or pads... I really dont. It is soooo obvious that it is not for them. I would think it would be more embarrassing for a guy to buy jock itch powder.

1. It's not that it's embarrassing, but the fact that we have to go buy that crap at the crack of dawn or in the middle of the night because she ran out. It's not like we get asked while we are going out to buy something or when it's convenient... Noooo we have to go out to the store just to buy pads/tampons right in the middle of a game/show/sleeping/BBQing, It doesn't matter what we're doing, it gets interrupted.
The whole hassle could be easily avoided if women would just buy their junk in bulk.
I bought a 24 pack of TP once, and it lasted me for a year, which was incredibly convenient. A full year without that "uhoh" moment when you have to go do the shuffle to find the kleenex box.
And in other news, fungicide is fungicide, which is why you buy the Lamisil with the picture of the FOOT on it instead of the one that has the exact same thing inside the tube but says "JOCK ITCH" on the front

What guy picks up jock itch powder? We make our SOs pick that stuff up embarrasing personal items.

Besides, the on sale/not is more of a reason to buy in bulk when they are on sale. You (women
