a good boyfriend/husband is expected at times to purchase things he might rather avoid: tampons, bouquets, anything soy-based, etc. but there are things that we are all embarrassed to buy, for whatever reason. people ashamed of their sex life abhor shopping for contraception, people ashamed of their hairline hate asking for propecia, and people who poop a lot hate buying lots of toilet paper.
i find it really amusing that everyone considers buying toilet paper to be an embarrassing event. of course there is the issue with buying 20 rolls at once because they all come in huge oversized packages; thats kind of embarrassing. plus, said huge packages dont have any sort of handle or grip to them, so the package itself is super awkward to carry and it doesnt fit in any reasonable-sized grocery bag.
however, i would think the act of buying toilet paper is something of a public statement of hygenic observance. in buying toilet paper, you take a moment to reaffirm to your fellow shoppers and the clerks - and everyone you pass on your way home - that 'Yes! I choose to clean my shitty ass rather than let it let it crust up and crumble off in its own time'. i should think that a civilized society would appreciate that sort of considerate behavior.
