What We Won't Do 4 Hair

[Sade']

So I walk over to my local CVS to look for some generic MN. I get to the aisle and say to myself "Ok this is it" For some reason I could not pick up a bottle. I got nervous, I wanted to call or text someone on LHCF to walk me thru it. LOL. I know people that work there and said to myself...they are going to think I am itching!!! So I walked away and circled back, picked up the CVS brand and tucked it under by arm. I was like OMG how am I gonna go up to the counter with this erplexed THEN I remembered SELF CHECKOUT !!! I said please lord do not let them be out of service, I would die of embarrassment.
I scanned that thing so fast and rolled out. Now if I could just sneak it past my Fiance' mix it up and begin my new regimen! I'll let u guys know how that goes tonight! Stay tuned....

Am I the only introvert that experienced this?

That's funny! Girl, you certainly aren't the only..others, I'm sure, have had awkward or embarassing situations when purchasing MN.

 

[SweetlyBlessed]

I've tried and failed several times. I just chalked it all up by saying to myself, "Don't buy anything else for your hair until what you have is used up!" AKA, "I really don't want to be seen buying coochie meds!" I'll wo(man) up one of these days! But props to Sade' for making it further then me. LOL

 

[TwistedRoots]

Thats so funny that you say that... I decided yesterday to order it online(I'm deployed). I was at work and people kept coming up behind me...I kept closing the screen...LMAO!

 

[kellie7777]

well i've bought this stuff now 3 times now and i tried going different places but my local is the only one that i can find the 4%. And i get the 3 suppository one each time. at $17.99 more for my money...the girl looked at me and smiled...I could see her face wanting to say something (cause this town is nosey) , so i said hi, ur ready for xmas. she said yah and i kept the conversation rolling on that and didn't hang around when i got my receipt. while i was walking out, i looked back and she was staring at me.. woman must think, she got it bad....

 

[Sade']

LMAO @ TashaK

I HATE that...ur almost at the check out and someone want to walk up NOW u gotta minimize your screen!! Can't even buy your MN in peace.

 

[HoneyA]

Yeah, when I first came to LHCF, I heard about MN and I actually went to the supermarket to check it out but all I found was Vagisil not Monistat and I had to pick it up to see if it had MN in it. OMG, I scanned the ingredients and put it back on the shelf so fast and moved on down the aisle. I don't think I would have bought the MN anyway if I had found it, I'm too scared to put it on my scalp.

 

[aquariangirl]

HA! I was at Walmart where they have a nice healthy sized selection of err, coochie creams...and low and behold while I'm browsing, a lady that I work with during the day is moonlighting by working part-time at the Walmart. First thing otta my mouth, it's not for what you think needless to say we had a 15 minute conversation while standing in that aisle

 

[Sade']

Yeah I might have to hit up walmart or the $$ Store, b/c I just shelled out 11 bucks as if I'm a baller. I can tell right now this lil tube will last me 7 days (with repeated use) tops.

 

[malibu4590]

Shoot, I made my mom go purchase my MN from the Family Dollar for my mix. I just sat in the car, all paranoid and stuff. I don't know how I'll bring myself to do it when I run out.

 

[Sade']

Is this your first time?

 

[Leslie_C]

LOL yall must be the type who would be ashamed to buy condoms or a pregnancy test too.....sweatin like a whore in church!!! Too funny! Im gonna be buying some before the week is out...heck I might even make my fiance pick it up for me! bwahahaha...

 

[Sade']

Kudos brave woman! I'll be shy til the day I die

 

[Sounique]

So I got home and quickly squeezed my CVS 2%MN into a small tub that I had laying around the house, mixed in some pure grape seed oil and pure coconut oil (melted in micro), stirred it up, parted my hair, used my fingers and applied it to my scalp about 2 hours ago.

So far no irritation, slight tingle, no headache. :woohoo:
I get migraines so headaches would not even bother me .

I will keep you ladies posted on any progress. I have been doing a non-MN regimen for a month with no results. Now I am doing an MN regimen and I want to see what happens in a month.

Oh yeah, my fiance' didn't notice a thing...whew

 

[caribeandiva]

yall ladies are wimps. it's not that big a deal. I have no problem grabbing 3 boxes of monistat and waiting in line to pay for it. The only time it'd bother me would be is if i ran into the guy i like while buying them. I don't know how i'd get out of this one.

 

[Je Ne Sais Quoi]

I remember feeling this way when I first started buying maxi pads

 

[Sade']

LOL ok ok I will grow up and thug my way through it on the next purchase. BUT I will not reveal my secret to my fiance until I actually see results. Then he will be like oh yeah keep buying that...might be under the tree next Xmas for me LMAO!!! He loves long hair.

aww.. you definetely got a keeper! He won't get why you need that for hair growth. Tell him later.

 

[girlyprincess23]

I make so much at a time because i share it with my balding bro in law and other family members and i just go into family dollar pick up 5 boxes the other stuff i need and keep it moving. i dont care too much i dont know why. i think i stopped caring what other people thought of me a long time ago as long as im fine and know whats going on!!

 

[KEWLKAT103]

This is funny.
I'm not ashamed to buy MN or anything else like that. Coochie creams, condoms, preg test, tampons, lube, etc. They sell it because people need it and buy it.
Shoot, I'll even buy it all at once!

There you go. ITA anything for health and beauty.

However, women toys and adult stores I would need a wig, glasses and a rental car to make these type of purchases.

I've always been the bold friend to go into the store and buy just about anything but I couldn't get the courage to buy the MN. I actually sent my SO to get it. He didn't want to do it at first, he said that everyone in the store would think he was dating someone with a prob. Then I showed him some of the ladies results and he high tailed it to the store. I cut my hair and he's ready to have it back.

Oh yeah and CASH lol no traces on my credit/debit card statement LMAO!!!

 

[LongHairDreams]

I use it (reveal in 1 week). With all the black women using mn, people are going to think there is an epidemic of yeast infectioins in our community!!

 

[Demi27]

Y'all got me dyin' over here.

It's so funny because I went to Family Dollar and got 6 boxes yesterday. Im on vacation and came back home for the holidays. There are no Family Dollars near where I live, so I got them to stock up.

I go up to the register and the casher is looking at me as if she's thinking, "She must have the yeast infection from hell."
I knows she remembers me because I was there during Thanksgiving and bought 4 boxes. She's probably just thinking, "Lady, go see a GYN already!"

I wanted to tell her, but I decided not to because I was laughing too hard on the inside.

Too funny!
