After finally landing on which brand you want to buy after all the reading of boxes, and you have all the stuff you need, you have to walk past the other customers to the line for the check-out stand. Standing in line with complete strangers while they can obviously see into your cart full of hygiene products can make even the most confident women feel insecure. Society makes hygiene appear to be something that should be kept private and secretive. Thus, each person in line with you has little thoughts going through their heads about how they do not want to know what sort of feminine issues you are having with your body at the time. So they do their best to ignore you and not make eye contact.
Although this might let you off the hook from the shallow conversations, the mood is already a bit awkward from the silence. Once you get to the cashier at the front of the line, the situation can get even worse. Depending on the cashier, they can make the experience one to forget.
Most will intentionally go about the transaction in silence while you are left standing there looking around waiting. Or more awful still, they could try cracking a joke or saying something regarding the items in your cart can make you cringe and beg to leave. Only after enduring this horrific experience do you get to go home and relax knowing that you probably will not have to go through that any time soon, at least usually not for another month. Let us be honest, no one wants to put a big flashing "I'm PMSing" sign up, and that is why buying products for feminine hygiene online is the best way to go.
