Yes, I can imagine you walking up to a random lady, proferring the feminine hygeine aids and saying "I've bought these and suddenly realised I don't need them at all, so I'm offering them to you as a heartfelt gift..."
Now that would confront your fears.
I can see the whole psychological factor in this, such as confronting your fears, realising that much like ridicule it's nothing to be scared of, etc, but I do hope you didn't actually have to buy these items?
Only I call that wasting good brass on $hite that you're never going to use.
