I've bought tampons and other things for my gf's all my adult life until my last one. I told her I wouldn't get anything as long as she gave me no warning as to when she would quit takin her bi-polar meds. She wouldn't stay on them so I would just hide for seveal days till she started again. Sometimes I wonder how I survived. But the next gf will get the same treatment. If she needs it I will get it.
