Today, I decided to make the switch from pads to tampons. My boyfriend ended up having to show me how to apply them. FML

Today, I used a menstrual cup for the first time. I couldn't get it out, after what seemed like ages of trying. I had to ask my boyfriend to help me. He'll never look at me the same way again. FML

Today, I had my boyfriend come over for dinner for the first time. It was all going well until my dad started explaining to my boyfriend how to use toilet paper. He even demonstrated it. FML

Today, during my boyfriend's family reunion, I started my period but didn't have any tampons. I asked my boyfriend to ask his mom if she had any. I sat on the toilet waiting, then heard him loudly ask his whole family, "Does anybody have a tampon my girlfriend can have?" FML

He's a keeper

At least he knew. Saved you from an awkward conversation with your mother or your best female friend. I'd keep him around, for sure.

Even with instructions I was confused by tampons too at first. It's actually quite common to be unsure. As embarrassed as you may feel it is actually pretty awesome that your boyfriend helped you. A lot of guys wouldn't even offer and are grossed out by it. You have a good guy.

Those of you bashing her about the instructions are being too quick to judge.

He's a good man. Very mature.

You definitely have a keeper there, one that cares about you, is knowledgable about women's health issues, so won't freak out at the thought of a period and will therefore likely not have any issue with going to the shops for an emergency pack of tampons for you should the need arise.

That's ok, OP. No stress.

I'm pretty sure there are directions on the box

He is very secure with (or just doesn't care) about his masculinity if he's willing to do that. I would definitely keep him around for a while.

While that was nice of him, why couldn't you figure that out on your own? Tampons are pretty self explanatory.

OP, if the rest of him is this awesome, he's definitely one you don't want to let go of! My husband wouldn't know how to help me put one in, but he's a keeper too. He thinks nothing of buying feminine products for me and even keeps photos of the packages on his phone so he knows which ones to buy since I'm always changing my mind about which ones I like best.
