Girlfriend hygiene budget?

[Anonymous]

I am 32 and my girlfriend is 28. This question is mostly for women? My girlfriend texted me a list of things to buy before coming home: Feminine wash, spray, tampons, baby wipe, qtip,body wash, lotion, detergent,shampoo,and hair mousse. $86 and change. I just checked my bank statement and I noticed that Twice a month, I get the list from my girlfriend for the same products. Is this normal for a woman to spend on personal hygiene? Please educate me before I break up with her. Plus she smoked cigarettes, weed, and drink. She pays for her bad habits

Why are you paying for this?

What a woman spends varies with each woman.

She doesn't make a lot of money but I am just curious if this was what the average woman spends on persona hygiene products. It seems a lot to me

I mean that's not bad.

That said I buy my stuff in bulk. When Neutrogena has a website sale of BOGO - I buy 10 bottles of their moisturizer for instance.

Got to learn how to stock up on essentials as a woman.

Why does she want you to buy it for her? Why does she send you a list instead of going to buy it herself? Very strange.

Those are all pretty reasonable items and I’m a “low maintenance” woman. However, I typically buy my own stuff although half of the stuff on that list seem communal (detergent, qtips, wipes, etc.). Are you just a troll?

OP here,

Definitely not a troll. I am just curious plus I want to help her budget her money better.

DP. You need to try harder with your stories. Buying a box of tampons every two weeks? Are you familiar with how the female reproductive system works?

Those are normal things to buy but I certainly don't go through that stuff every 2 weeks.

Feminine wash - don't use
spray - don't know what that is
tampons - legit
baby wipe - don't use
qtip - I buy a 250 box about once a year at most
body wash - don't use, just use soap
lotion - don't use, just use coconut oil
detergent - definitely don't buy twice a month!
shampoo - who goes through a bottle of shampoo twice a month?
hair mousse - see shampoo

I think she's just using too much of everything and wasting it

Umm… the only thing I use on that list is shampoo. I buy a big bottle maybe 2x a year.

Next time try harder if you want to troll?

Your girlfriend needs new tampons every two weeks? You have more problems than you let on.

Woman here. I listed what I buy below. I’m not sure why she needs those twice a month when it should last her a full month or longer.

- Body wash - lasts a month
- Feminine wash - lasts a month
- Shampoo + Conditioner - lasts 2-3 months.
- Deodorant - lasts a month
- lotion - lasts a month

I buy a big thing of Tide that last 2-3 months. I don’t use baby wipes.

I spend probably like $80 on the basic stuff below. I also spend about another $100 for skincare.
