WOMEN ONLY -PLEASE ! Women undergarments

As Salamu Alaykum Sisters,

I know this section is for women but enough i heard what i heard and i swear if you could not write only for women please!, i would not be here.Time share that we brothers are also suffering from the same issue only one thing different.In my city Tiffany,Benetton or Seven Hill employees are all young girls over 18 to 24,can you imagine how embarrassing to choose a one thing while they guide inside even chaning in the locker room they  ask after  every 5 minutes, is it ok?,any problem?,shall i see?....

And also me living in an western way of life,on every new year night my mother and her four cracky sisters are coming to the house carrying the red underwears on their hands and saying all give them a luck for the new year...is this normal?

Finally we are all suffering...

I would be embarrassed to death to buy underwear from a man.  My friends would never purchase from a man either.  If the husband wants to buy underwear for his wife as a surprise present, maybe HE should order from an online company.  I love nice undies, but even if I'm in line to pay for them, and a man in in line behind me, I can feel my face turning red.  And I'm just a normal woman....I'm neither a prude, nor a "trollop".  I just don't want any man other than my husband to see my underwear...even if I haven't yet worn it.  The same goes for "feminine hygiene products".  I could just die when I come to pay and it's a man at the checkout!  Then I really turn as red as a lobster.  Once the price would not scan, and this man yelled across the pharmacy, "hey, what's the price for this box of tampons?" I walked straight out of the store, empty handed!

Seems a little perverted in a way for a man to be selling ladies lingerie.  Maybe he has a "little problem"...but most stores in the US would not hire a man for that job anyway.  They would hire him in the men's department instead.

Marta_Akmal asked:

"I have a question....when your in the hospital after the birth and people come to visit, is there a short robe, with maybe a hood I could cover with, or is this something I am going to have to sew for myself?"

You can purchase them in the store.  I had a nice short, terry cloth robe with a hood.  It was great!  I finally wore it out I wore it so often.  They sold them at J.C. Penneys and Sears.  You may want to check them out.......and CONGRATULATIONS on the upcoming birth of your little baby! 

Assalamu Alaikum:

I also think that part of it may be that in more traditional societies... women, especially once they are married, do not tend to work.  Also many of these countries have such high unemployment that if there are jobs available, they often go to men who have families to support.

I know that when we were in Egypt, every shop I visited had women selling to women.  I wouldn't have been comfortable dealing with a man in that situation... and I don't think my husband would have either.  I think it's a modesty issue.  No man wants to talk to another man about what size bra his wife wears.  That's just weird... and that's a private issue between husband and wife IMHO.  (Of course, probably many men have no idea what size their wives wear. ;) )

Peace. :)
