New Toys!

Am I the only one who gets really excited when they have made a purchase for a new toy? Years ago, I made all my steth and BP purchases in a store.....Face would be red, hands shaking as I went in to buy a new cuff or stethoscope. Couldn't wait to get home and have some alone time😃

With eBay, amazon, etc, there's no need to go in store anymore. I still get terribly excited over the purchase though😃 Just bought a mercury BP unit.....First one I've had. Oh how my heart pounded when I saw the package had arrived. Tore into it....Middle of the day, came home for lunch and it was here. Straight upstairs....Tear into it, open it, eyeball everything. Next thing I know, my shirt is off, steth around my neck and I'm slipping the cuff onto my arm. Probably took 10 readings that afternoon before I hot the better if myself and couldn't hold out anymore😃 Wink, Wink😃

Anyway, just wondering if anyone else hot super excited over a new steth or BP cuff, EKG machine, whatever😃

Always get excited over new equipment just haven't haven't bought any in too long.

I just rejoined--yay! I have a full gym bag of stethoscopes and everyone of them excited me with their purchase. The ones I bought in stores my heart was pounding, face flush, palms shaky and slimy, and my speech stuttered, slurred, and retarded. The whole experience felt embarrassingly criminal, like I was shoplifting and the item made a spectacular bulge in my shirt or I was about to hold up the joint with a banana. It was a perilous mission that must be won. BOOMBOOMBOOM went my heart as I quickly and silently glided out of the store victoriously clutching my new toy, trying to be as normal and inconspicuous as possible and praying that nobody would see me, or more importantly, IT. Once that steth got home you can only imagine the fun we had. Online shopping didn't quite have that thrill, but when the toy arrived at the door step--holy moly did my heart start hammering, for it knew it was about to be listened to long and hard. Ripping open the package felt like a child's Christmas "oh boy oh boy! what did I get?!" then running and hiding to play with the new toy. The whole experience felt devilishly good.

I finally received my steth today, it's a very cheap one from ebay but I can use it just find, I don't really need anything professional after all. I was super excited but also really anxious that some family member that isn't supposed to would see. So I need to be extra careful. The first time I tried to use it on myself was a big failure, it wasn't fitted in my ears properly and I thought it was faulty. Then I realized my mistake and gave myself a looooong listen. My heart was pounding the whole time because of excitement! I can feel that my face is still blushed.

Trying a new steth for the first time is always erotic to me. Instant turn-on.

Absolutely! Like a kid at Christmas! Very excited when those new toys arrive!

I always get excited when purchasing any new heart related toys 😃

I got embarrassed buying my gf ben wa balls

WHAT does that mean??

You have them in one breath, and on the next, you want to buy them??

I get excited just being able to buy all kinds of toys through the internet. EBay, Amazon, Allegro Medical, and several other sites all have a great selection of "adult" and medical toys at reasonable prices, along with discrete shipping so the postman (or anyone else for that matter) does not know what I am buying! Total anonymity!

Switchable, You might have to explain your post as well. What do you mean by "you have them in one breath and the next..." ? All I'm saying is I'm not going to buy them at walmart in person. I have no rational reasoning.

Twitch90, First of all I wish you the best success in your career. Nursing is stressful and demanding at times but the rewards in terms of patient response and personal satisfaction make it worth while; (at least most of the time!). If you choose to work in a large institution near NYC you can try one area of nursing for a couple of years and then switch if you choose, many of us have done that several times.

Don't be in any big rush to buy equipment. A good steth. is probably all you need in general nursing. After a while you may want your own BP tools but just remember that a cuff is in contact with a patients skin and many institutions are very wary of this and demand a disposable cuff for each patient.

As I do exams I have my own oto/ophthalmoscope, reflex hammer with pinwheel, various thermometers and a bunch of disposable gear. Don't spend your money on this stuff until you know that you will need it.

Good luck, contact me if you want.

I've never bought sex toys online because I didn't want my wife to see them - either because I wanted to give it to her as a gift - or it was for one of my own kinks that I haven't gotten the nerve to expose to her yet.

When I would buy toys in the past (15 to 20 years ago), the nearest adult shop was about an hour and a half away. I would get embarrassed in the store and often made my selections in haste, not taking the time to compare or think it through. But always had a huge rush of excitement once I was back in my car. Had to open and inspect everything. The drive home was always a blur as fantasies of how I was going to put the new toy to use. Many of those toys ended up being impractical or just not well suited for regular play. There were a few keepers, though.

Now that I'm re-exploring my fetishes, I've been stopping by a local shop (now only about 10 minutes from where I work). On my first visit, I noticed that age and life experience had taken away a lot of the embarrassment - along with the fact that adult toy stores are much more mainstream these days. By my 2nd visit I became very comfortable with the gal who asked if she could help me. Within minutes I was explaining anal and enema fetishes and was amazed at how in depth she was able to explain the pros and cons of different items. I was also pleasantly surprised when she would open a toy I had questions with and if necessary - pop some batteries in it so I could feel it working.

I've only made a couple purchases - and have a few things on my immediate wish list. But the one thing that has stayed the same is the rush of excitement of getting in my car and giving the items a full inspection and the swelling in my jeans as I anticipate putting them to use later that night.

The first thing I did when I got my own bank account was go on amazon and order my first stethoscope. I couldn't stop thinking about it until it finally came in the mail. I had to beg my mother not to ask what I had ordered. The first time I used it my heart was absolutely racing. Hehehe! 😄

>>We have otoscopes and pulse oximeters...i want to buy them so bad....but I'm chicken

>WHAT does that mean??

>You have them in one breath, and on the next, you want to buy them??

This means what it sounds like. The person says..

We have otoscopes and pulse oximeters.

Ok, so the person HAS otoscopes and pulse oximeters.

Than in the next part they say

i want to buy them so bad....but I'm chicken

So, it sounds like they don't have them, but want to buy them but they are too chicken..

So, in one breath you have them and in the next breath you want to buy them?

When I bought my first Stethoscope I thought my Heart was going to jump out onto the counter ! Exited? Yeah!!! I love new Heart related toys!

Lol when I bought my first steth I was soo excited O.O

It was some time ago when I was living with a few other people and I didnt dare order it in some internet shop because I was afraid the steth might arrive when I wasnt at home and so someone else might discover my interest... So I went to a local store for medical supplies. It was so awkward to actually ASK for a stethoscope...But finally I bought the one i was looking for and left the store before anyone I knew would see me 😄

It's been a really long time since I had this sort of shop therapy. I was in a situation where I had to replace all my bp/steth gear. I went onto Amazon last week and ordered a simple aneroid cuff/stethoscope kit. Hold that thought...

Waited a few days, went to ebay. Found a vintage Tycos aneroid. This brought on an accelerated heartbeat and sweaty palms. I'm ok.

The aforementioned Amazon order arrived today, two days early. Butterflies set into my stomach. I ripped open the paper mailer... there it was. A thing of beauty in a box. Audible pulse in my ears.

200/80.

Took me 40 minutes to come down to 150/70. Total adrenaline rush.

@bpkub a reading over 180 should have you or someone calling 911 or getting you to the ER asap.

I actually have a professional visit tomorrow. Thanks for the concern... this was really a full on rush that I happened to capture with the data. I'm much more normal now. But if they detect something I will for sure be following medical advice.

The first time I bought a stethoscope at the pharmacy, I too was very excited and my heart beat like a drum.... I was 16, I was on holiday at the seaside and I met a girl I liked. I wanted to listen to his heart in the evening, but I didn't have my stethoscope with me, so I went to the local pharmacy and bought a cheap stethoscope (the only one they had) with a single flat head, my hands were shaking, I told the pharmacist that the stethoscope on my grandmother's sphygmomanometer had broken..... Surely the pharmacist had understood that I needed it for fun and that I was ashamed.....
