Default Ordering Adult Toys Question

I know this is probably so innapropriate, But I have to ask.

Does anyone know where to order any Adult toys, but have them ship anonymously so they arent described on the package. I live with other people and would rather them not know

If you have a post office box its a better idea to just send it there.

Pretty much anywhere you order from is going to send the materials discreetly. It's hard to find the large pink penis-shaped shipping boxes these days, so most places have switched to the plain brown cardboard

But in all seriousness, Amazon and lots of other places have a great selection and ship discreetly, and nobody lists contents of anything on the box exterior these days, if for no other reason than to deter theft during shipment.

Basically any websites of that nature will package things discretely, if you really want to make sure the really good sites often describe how things will be packaged in FAQ's.

Amazon is actually a good idea. I do alot of my online shopping from amazon and the ship everything in the same cardboard box with amazon on the side. You cant even see the contents unless you open it because its not listed.

The only reason the contents would need to be listed on the outside is if it's being shipped from another country and a customs declaration is needed. For example if someone in the UK had something shipped from outside the EU.

If you use a company in the same country as you, and they state that they ship from within your country, you should be fine.

I like the Amazon suggestion. People buy all sorts of stuff from them and that name on a package wouldn't arouse suspicion.

Sorry to hijack the thread, but since we're on the subject I've been wondering,...if one does have an adult toy, as a man, what do you do to keep it clean after using it?

I know this sounds either like a stupid or obvious question but I've never used one so I honestly don't know and were I to get one, I'd like to know what to do since I still live at home currently.

I just use soap and hot water, immediately after use.

This is pretty much the case. Almost no site will identify itself on its packaging - the vast majority of customers are in your situation, OP, for one reason or another. If they don't specify on their site how things are packed, then order from somewhere else. If you really need to buy something from a specific site, then the P.O. Box is a good idea - you can just get one for a month to test the site, they're actually very cheap.

But honestly, if it was me, I would just have it shipped home and not worry about it.

And I believe generally even when it's a residential, it's not like in I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry where boxes are labeled in big XXX lol.

Don't worry most companies that sell and ship sex toys and "novelties" well ship them discreetly. I bought a couple of vibrators from Adam and Eve online and they came in a package that had a fake company name on it. Something like" tristar innovations" or something like that. So you don't have to worry. All the shipping info will be inside the box.
