After 24 years of marriage if she isn't interested in me buying her pads, I don't think it's the best surprise present. I've bought far more embarrassing things for her regarding body stuff when she's needed them, so I think she just doesn't want me to do it. It's not like she hides them. I mean, she's also never asked me to buy shampoo or soap or whatever for her. She would rather get exactly what she wants than rely on me to do it for that sort of thing.

I'll probably screw it up and buy the wrong ones even if I look at the box. And she'd probably be right with my memory.

And to be fair, I haven't gone out of my way to ask her to buy hygiene stuff for me either. We both got in the habit of shopping for ourselves for those sorts of things and it's working out for us.

Honestly, it's so inconsequential that, as I said, I didn't even realize I'd never done it until I thought about it.
