Token cis man, much prefer the women's hygiene products, just worried about stares I'd get at the store lmao.
I look about as typical a dude as it's possible to and literally no-one has ever even acknowledged when I'm buying women's deodorant ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Beyond it not actually mattering what others think, and as others have said - the chance of anyone even noticing being miniscule, if someone looking at you really assumes that only women can use "women's" hygiene products, then they probably also assume you're buying it for a woman in your life and couldn't care less...
Most people would just presume you're buying for someone else anyway.
Doubt anyone would remember 5-10 minutes later that you were even there. When I worked retail, I had forgotten the previous customer by the time I was dealing with another.
Here in California, its normal for guys to get hygiene products for wives, partners, sisters, etc. Though in the cities no one cares who wears what either.
I'd assume in other states it's normal for guys to do the household shopping. Maybe not in Texas or Florida.
