Embarrassment/shopping

Ginnie

been married 3 times

plus many,s the time i had to go out for my mom and sister pads and tampons

so entering the womens section of drug stores is old hat

but was embarressing to go for enema/douche items there and still is

There's an easy way around that flyboy just go to a med supply store and buy a disposable bag they fold up to practically nothing i just put mine in the bottom of my shaving kit and put it in my carryon bag

I guess I prefer to shop online because its easier to find a variety of equipment. I could run around town to 5-6 different stores trying to find a Higginson or a double balloon rectal catheter and never even find one. But without the hassle I can find those very same things online in a matter of minutes.

I suppose for some people the thrill of having to face salespeople while in search of kinky toys is enjoyable in itself.

I think women are much less embarrassed than men when buying personal items at the pharmacy. Maybe we were a little embarrassed the first few times that we bought sanitary items, but it soon wore off and each month we need to purchase tampons, panty liners, and douche. No, for me buying an enema bag would be no big issue, but for my husband I have to laugh at the idea of him standing in line at a checkout with a box of OB let alone an enema syringe.

The local drugstore is only good for an emergency hot water bottle in my opinion.

I think the only way to get quality equipment of a suitable variety is on the web.

Personally... if I'm just buying the little pre-packaged enemas... i stop into Walmart, and then use the self checkout.

When I purchased a "red bag" and tube, and then my first hollow butt-plug nozzle... I did it all online. It was less about embarrassment, and more about convenience. Not to mention I was able to compare types of equiptment and prices.

I think I am a touch jealous of some of you! I've never been lucky enough to live in an area where I could really pick up anything decent in person. I've always had to shop online which I can only imagine is really half as "fun".

Being brought up i a very puritan comunity it still is very embarrassing to go public on sexual products. I therefor buy all my stuff on the internet. Most of my life i have dreamt of getting a bulbsyringe and some plugs, and it was not till i got a computer that they ware actually becoming mine. 😳 😳 😳

I bought my first bulb syringe in drugstore in another town because I needed it immidiately. They had only one model and this was too small. All other items I bought online.

I enjoy buying douches, tampons ,pads,and enema supplys .for me and my wife.yester day i bought a new enema bag two boxs of tampons, lub.,and some vaginal cream for the applicator i use it to put lub in my rectum.

Its always been hard to find a store with good enema supplies around where I live and even if I knew where to go I dont think I would shop there, I think I would get very embarrassed even at a sex toy store. I find it a lot more comfortable shopping online.

Strangely enough I dont mind going out and getting tampons for my wife. Go figure.

I like to buy bags and suppositories in person for the thrill. The most excitement i've had in this area was buying my first bag which was at a major Dept store in Dalls. Next was finding an adult bulb enema syringe ane then a bulb douche syringe, which was a huge turn-on.

The main reason I shop on line is the items are better quality. I purchased a Fountain type bag the other day and was very cheaply made. Made in Taiwan and had a very weird smell not the true rubber smell of olden times. Even after washing it a few times and rinsing it it still had that smell I threw it away.

I bought my first bag from a drug store. The real reason to buy the bag was because I needed to put a hot pack to my shoulder. Much to my surprise, there was that little enema nozzle in the box! First use of the bag was not as a heat pack but an enema!

I now buy my supplies on line as there are better choices and more quality items.

It is a little bit embarassing shoping for enema equipment but I guess you could pick up a couple of other items too to bolster your confidence.

I have come to the realization that the only way to get what I want is to order it from the internet. With careful research, I I am usually not disappointed with my selection.

Hi All,

'Wanted a new "Open top" syringe and went "shopping" yesterday at the local Drug stores. A couple had no syringes or Hotwater bottles at all, several others only had cheapie combo bags and none had an "Open top" (eg, Faultless fountain syringe) on the shelf. At a local, non chain, drug store by the hospital, I did find a Cara #6 luxury combo bag set typically by the Fem. products. There were a few Water bottles next to it but no other "Goodies." The bag is an off white color and is just like the one I remember at an old girlfriends' apt. hanging above the old fashioned tub in the bath. It brought back many plesant memories. This will do. Me being a male, of course this is going to be embarrasing!! I take the embarrasment in stride and continue. There's some activity in the store but little at the checkout counter. There's a young girl at the checkout with long black hair and she looks a lot like the picture of analee just above this post!! 'Putting the syringe box on the counter she notices and gives a slightly embarrased smile. I smile back and say,"it's OK." We complete the transaction, I thank her and leave. Had there been less activity in the store, I would love to have at least had a short conversation with the young lady. Perhaps next time.

with a "Click,"

I've done a lot of my purchasing in store but it seems like the selection is much better online and the prices are about the same except for the shipping

Look at it this way, They don't know me, and i don't know them!

Online is the only way to go, no embarrassment and you can get what ever you want.

I have purchased numerous bags and bulbs over the years. At first, I was extremely nervous and embarrased. Once I was looking for a travel syringe (complete set) and had to ask the clerk to help find it. That blue bag lasted a long time and did travel well.

A very long time ago when the clerks in the drug store actually tried to sell merchandise instead of only operate a register, I was waiting for a prescription to be filled and a young lady was attempting to buy a hot water bottle. The saleswoman tried to convince her to buy a complete set (with all of the attachments). The young lady insisted she did not need the attachments and finally left with just the hot water bottle. Even then, the complete set was a bargain over purchsing the attachments separately. I did fantasize over the young lady using all of the equipment!

Hello, I live in Ukraine, and it is unsafe to buy supplies online so they are bought in stores. Near me, there are multiple stores that sell enema supplies. To my understanding, it is an accepted part of the Ukrainian culture although hidden. I have not been enbarassed purchasing my equipment after the first time. The first time I purchased an enema bag I was extremely embarassed and couldn't look at the cashier, but after that I realized that itwas normal.

Not all stores sell it, but most pharmacy clerks know where you can buy the equipment and will give you tips too. I have found different kinds, some that are good and some that are clearly uncomfortable or of poor quality. Although, most that I have seen are of good quality and seem pleasant to use.

Hmmmmm, I always thought the embarassment was part of the thrill of an enema? Why shouldn't we have a bit of embarassment in the shopping process?

I bought the bag in a surgical store and the nozzles on line dont know where they would sell them

I've bought 95% of my equipment online.

There are no decent enema gear choices in stores anymore. It's all online and the variety is better than ever. However, I have purchased enema gear in drugstores in the past and it's not as traumatic as it may seem.

I like to buy online only because they carry the quality stuff, nice nozzles, 3/8" tubing, 4 qt bags, colon tubes, etc. I don't mind buying equipment at the store, there just isn't much available in my town.

I mentioned this elsewhere, but this is a good thread to mention again that back some 30 or more years ago before there was an "online" and stores were main source of enema equipment -

I had a thing for the embarrassment/thrill/rush of buying in a drug store. It was an odd love/hate kind of thing.

Once I saw a bag I didn't already own, or some variation in packaging, I just had to purchase it. But, could do immediately, had to built of the nerve to do so...

I know, sound nutty...

Those interactions at the drug store provided some wonderful moments relative to my interest in enemas and equipment. Although embarrassing at times, the rush was seldom duplicated. Online suppliers are the only way to purchase equipment that approaches the quality or intrigue of the vintage equipment. That is unfortunate. The only interactions that seem to come close anymore, are those few I've had at medical supply stores or at the local health food store. At least there's one clerk who seems well versed on colon cleansing benefits and is willing to discuss enemas as an alternative to colonics.
