OMG so embarassing buying enema equipment!

Ohhh, opportunity missed on the Wal-Mart employee. They usually wear name tags, actually they have to, it's one of their employee rules. Keep that in mind for the next time and good luck.

Mashie

I cashiered at a Walmart for 3 years and since we had a pharmacy dept., most such items were checked out there. I did sometimes check out one of our cheap, Chinese made combo. bags, several Fleets and many Fem. hygiene items, lubes, etc. I never batted an eye at any of these, but I ALWAYS made a mental note of who was buying them. I never recall any male ever buying any of these items.

Mashie is right, ALL Walmart employees have to wear a name tag; Mine said, "Jim, Cashier". I thought a lot about getting transferred to the pharmacy dept., because of my strong background selling pharmaceuticals. We had many pharmacy techs. We had 17 video cameras watching every area of the pharmacy dept. to monitor shoplifters of cosmetics AND of pharmacy employees to see if they were dipping into controlled substances. One lady in her 50's had a job of stocking racks with shampoos, OTC meds., cosmetics, etc. One day she was doing her job and got bit on her finger by a brown recluse spider hiding in one of the racks. She had a hell of a time with many Dr. office visits, swelling of her hand and arm and the company wouldn't grant her a work place injury status. Assholes!

To the women saying their spouse or partner was clueless in buying tampons or other feminine protection: I've bought such things for my wife. In my case, I had to insist that she gives me the exact name of what she wanted ("show me the box"), because otherwise I would not have known which ones to buy. I also recall asking her to buy me razor blades and she bought a brand that's not compatible with my razor. 😉 It's not easy buying things you don't use, because you don't know whether there is really a relevant difference between two products ("oh yes they don't have that brand but you can buy this other one it's just the same" vs "these ones have nothing to do with those ones").

I have bought several enema sets over the years dating back into the early 80s through the early 2000's. My closed top was purchased in a grocery store and the other open tops were from drugs stores. Yes my heart rate did increase a bit when going through the checkout line but nothing of any consequence was said in any of the purchases. I could have been buying toothpaste and gotten the same reaction.

I have long since moved on from the retail stuff to online enema suppliers which have far superior equipment and tremendous variety. I still buy suppositories at retail stores but generally go through the self checkout lines mainly because it is so much faster.

Remember these people see hundreds of people a day and I doubt they care what anybody buys from the store.

In my 7 or so years of exploration with enemas I have owned 4 traditional red rubber combination bags. Each of them I've bought from WalMart. I remember feeling a sense of trepidation walking the store and checking out for the first couple but since then I feel only a thrill. Nobody has ever commented or even acknowledged my purchase among the other items in the grocery cart. I have wondered how I might respond if a comment were made. In the early days I might have commented that I had severe constipation. Now I'm sure I'd simply say that I use enemas recreationally. I'm too old to be concerned about embarrassment. If people want to judge me, that is entirely up to them. I'm happy with being me, kinks and all.

My online purchases number 2 but without the possibility of human interaction there was no opportunity for embarrassment.

While not enema equipment, I walked into a natural food store yesterday and asked for six ounces of bulk senna leaf to be bagged for me. The answer I received was, "Sure, I can do that for you." When she returned with the product in a clear bag she asked, "Can I get anything else for you?" After I paid she offered to bag my single item but I replied, "No thank you, it is already bagged." She handed me my receipt and I left without additional comment. I would have welcomed discussion about the uses of senna leaf, nothing was brought up and I didn't feel like starting that conversation myself.

"OMG so much fun buying enema equipment", just a little different perspective from someone who got beyond the embarrassment a long time ago. These days, I do it just for shits and giggles!

A couple of years ago my enema bag finally gave up. I told my wife about it and she said that we needed to go to the drug store anyway and I could get one then. When we got to the store (not a big box store but not a mom and pop store either) I went looking for a new enema bag and my wife went looking for other toiletries. She finished first and came looking for me. I was standing in front a display that had fountain syringes, combinations and douche bulbs. My wife asked which one I was going to get. I told her I couldn't decide. I said that I liked the fountain syringe because it was easy to fill but liked the combination because I could use it on the bed without worrying about spills. She said that I should go ahead and get both of them, that I needed to have a spare in either case. As I was getting them from the shelf my wife asked about the bulb we had for oil enemas. She said that I should go ahead and get one of those too while we were at it since the last time we used it it leaked pretty bad. We looked all over the store and ended up asking a clerk if they had any enema bulbs. She said that they used to carry them but had been out for a month or so with none on order. My wife took me back over to the enema/douche bags and picked up one of the douche bulbs and said I will have to use this one.

As we were checking out the clerk, an older lady, looked at the syringes and at first didn't say anything. When she finally got to them to ring up she commented that someone must have a problem. Without batting an eye my wife said, "Oh yes, he does. He wears one of these things out once or twice a year. Might as well get enough for awhile." The clerk smiled and gave a sly little grin as she rung up the douche bulb.

When we got home I was putting the new enema bags in the drawer we kept them in. My wife had her old douche bulb there as well. I asked her if she wanted the new douche bulb and I would take her old one for my enemas. She said that it didn't matter much as she hadn't used it in many years. She got the little plastic purse with her old bulb out and looked at it and started laughing. I asked what was so funny. She held up the syringe and said that it was pretty "femmy" and how would I feel having a pink douche bulb used for my enemas. One of them a pink douche bulb (which I really like.)

Bmatt, pretty nice to have a mate that is so understanding. I take it that she wants no involvement in your irrigations, herself?

When I was 9,10, 11, my mom didn't have a drivers license. She had me ride my bike to the pharmacy to get her Tampax.. . .

How did she go food shopping? Why didn't she get them then?

I've been there and done that. Don't have the t-shirt to prove it though. Really, who'd want one? This is the main reason I resorted to purchasing all enema related equipment on line from a site that's both professional and reliable.

I make by boyfriend buy enema stuff. Or anything related to anything. It's better that way. I won't even go with him unless they have self check out.

Almost every cash register keeps a digital record of every transaction, 24/7.. Months if not years later the receipt can be retrieved from digital storage. In addition, a video record is made of every transaction. Also can be played back long into the future. So: there is no privacy. Everything you do outside the home is recorded to file. Some stuff in the home is also recorded, depending on what funny stuff has been hidden on your computer. So if you think the clerk didn't notice you buying an enema bag -- think again.

Along with what hoseman said above, many computer links have "cookies" that track your viewing. Just recently, I clicked on an Amazon ad (from this website) for enema bags, and lo-and-behold, within a couple days, an ad for enema bags from Amazon shows up on the side of an internet story I happened to be reading. This is no coincidence.

@healthymale6446 - Have you also noticed when returning to amazon say for an unrelated item, there down the left side is those items last viewed . . .mmmm !

The way to avoid this is to do your shopping/brousing for things like enema equipment in the "In Private" mode that most browsers have. Particularly important if someone who does not share your fetishes may use the computer. For most of us it is better to not leave a trail.

Lol! My poor husband. It wasn't for an enema bag, but once when I was sick I sent him to our local pharmacy with a list that included tampons and acetaminophen suppositories that I take on occasion for a bad headache. They used to keep the supps on a shelf with the Tylenol tabs. Then they started keeping them cold in a fridge, so he had to ask one of our neighbors who was a clerk there. Was he embarrassed? Sort of, he said. His faced turned red. Yes, he was!

I think women are used to shopping for things like this. The first time that I purchased an enema bag was when I was in my twenties. It was from a small mom and pop pharmacy. I was waited on by an older woman and told her that I needed to purchase an enema bag. She was so sweet and kind and gave me a quick education on the use of enemas, I loved the conversation. Anna

That's why if you want privacy PAY CASH.

Just hope there isn't a camera photographing the purchases.

Susie is right. Otherwise the drugstore may well retain your transaction record along with your credit card information.

But...

Seriously, who are you protecting your privacy against? The management of the drugstore chain? Do you give a damn they know you bought an enema bag and Vaseline? Or rather you care about nosy neighbors, family, friends, a cashier that you risk seeing in the future, etc.?

Susie, every time a Walmart cashier opens up their cash register for use, an overhead camera starts recording, looking straight down to the cash drawer and the scanner. This stops any cashier from "dipping into the till". It also records every transaction, cash, credit card, checks and usually shows the customer and cashier, as well as the items purchased being scanned. I don't know how long these videos are kept. Every store has a "loss control specialist", who sits inside a closet with TV screens for every cash register lane. Ours was an obese, nasty, middle aged woman that no one liked. She could watch the speed at which every cashier worked and the accuracy of money exchanged.

They had 17 cameras trained on the pharmacy dept. to watch every move of every pharmacy employee, from every direction. Every thing purchased at the pharmacy counter was video taped. Doesn't matter if cash, or credit card was used.

Good heavens, it's not like you were buying something illegal, like a kilo of heroin, you were buying an enema!!! When I used to purchase enema bags at drugstores, I always tried to find a good looking guy at a register, just to see their reaction. Most couldn't be less interested in anything other than getting my money and completing the transaction and waiting on the next customer. I occasionally got a look or two, but not often!!!

Buy your equipment on line, it is better quality, better choices and PRIVATE. Also these items are sent discreetly, only you know what's in the box.

As Kid Emom and mike45 mentioned there's some guys just flat out don't wanna go to the store to get this stuff for their wives/girlfriends. I was once this way. These days I would relish the thought of buying things like this. For example I've been to Lovers Package with a girlfriend and we had ourselves a mighty fine time. I've been on some online enema supply sites and I'd pop a boner. I'd much prefer a cute checkout girl too.

Thanks edna on 5.25.16 at 13:22. Well back to Evony...

Switchablesuzie YES by all means always pay with cash. Tho you do know don't you as someone who prefers cash you've been on a secret government list undoubtedly for a mighty long time as have I.

There is no such critter as a regular store nearby where I walk inside and enema products of every flavor and size and kink is displayed much to my chagrin. I would love a can with open top and the rig that has a BP bulb and inflatable nozzle with it. Oh to have a woman who will administer to me my bag. The art of Klismo would be part of our lovemaking.

If one deludes themselves into thinking there is such a thing as privacy in this age of sophisticated electronic surveillance, THINK AGAIN my friends. It just ain't so any more.

I only buy enema and related stuff through the mail or a self check out. If I were to buy that stuff and have someone ring me up, I'd probably win some 1,000,000th customer contest and a news crew would pop out to film my death live on TV.

LMAO Allie, I literally am!!! 😁 😁 😁 You gave me my funny for the day. 😁

I think there are two separate questions here:

1) Would a large organization (drugstore chain) or a government agency be able to track that you bought enema equipment? For sure, if they were interested, though paying in cash as opposed to paying by credit card makes things more complicated for them. From that point of view, ordering online is quite bad since you have to give your name, address, credit card number.

2) Would you be embarrassed in front of a live employee who would know you use enemas / suppositories / whatever "embarrassing" item? Then sure use self-checkout or online orders.

1) is not a major issue to me unless this, say, causes these organizations to send me advertisements about enema products. I read somewhere that some women starting receiving advertisements about baby products after they stopped buying tampons/pads...

2) is more of an issue, but my impression is that in the US employees refrain from making ANY comment on products bought unless requested. I've had more embarrassing moments with pharmacists in France (granted, they are not cashiers paid at minimal wage).

I really don't think the NSA. Or CIA or the DOD OR FBI really care if anyone buys enemas as they aren't weapons. Probably can't be wmds. However if you are a celebrity TMZ might care.
