Husband Feels Uncomfortable After Wife Switches To Using Tampons Instead Of Pads, Throws Away Her Tampon Box

We often say, "Your body, your choice," especially when it comes to picking things like hygiene stuff. But a recent story shared on the r/AmItheA**hole (AITA) subreddit is challenging this idea. It's about a woman's struggle for freedom in choosing her hygiene products, clashing with her husband's discomfort.
The wife shared that she started using tampons for medical reasons, which her husband strongly disliked. His disapproval led to a surprising move—throwing away a whole bunch of tampons she had kept hidden to avoid issues at home. This left her with nothing to use during her period.
Therefore, she confronted him about what he had done. The conversation got heated, making her wonder if she overreacted. She turns to the AITA community for opinions.
