Buying suppositories

I live in a small town and of course there is nothing wrong with buying these but it still can seem embarrassing some times and some how I always sort of hope that maybe the women or girl at the register will comment something about them. I can't help but think what I might be thinking if I were the clerk. Any one else feel this way or have had a clerk comment ?

Nope, never an issue.

I enjoy the perceived "awkwardness" of buying things that "society" deems embarrassing! I take my purchase to the prettiest cashier and strike up a nice quaint conversation, this usually results in some blushing and/or nervous giggling on their part>:-)!

Seek out a store that has a self check out line, The machine doesn't care.

When i buy suppositories i always try to go to till with a female, watch closely as she handles the packet, but have never yet had any comment at all.

Another thing i do, is look closely at check out operaters finger nails, do they have long nails but with a very short one on a middle finger.............

Any pharmacy there's alway a young female at the register. I've found out by some pharm techs most of them have tried suppositories at one time. So, the last CVS tech I asked her to show me the suppositories. Then I ask her which one do you prefer and have used before? Lol. This one girl smiled and then pointed to the sealed bullets, much larger and kept cold. So, you like these better. Yes! May i ask when did you last try it. She paused I thinking she'd ignored my question and turned to me smiled and said last night. And walked away. Lol.. So, don't be shy and embarrassed they're there and have heard it all.

I would be far too embarrassed to ever buy suppositories in a pharmacy. This stems from a very humiliating encounter I had with a lady behind the counter in a small pharmacy when I was just four years old. I had been taken there by our maid to buy some glycerin suppositories and remember feeling extremely embarrassed and humiliated when she asked for child sized ones since it was very obvious that they were intended for me. Trying to save face and keep my dignity I defiantly told the lady that I wasn't going to be having a suppository, at which point she leant over the counter and, with a big grin on her face, told me most assuredly that I was! Well, a back and forth then took place with me telling the lady that I wasn't having one, only to hear the words "oh yes you are!" and her increasing amusement at my defiance. By the time I was led out of the door I was in tears, totally crushed and frustrated that she not only had the last word on the matter but found my animated behavior so amusing.

This thing about picking female assistants, asking them, etc. I personally would not want to involve someone in my fetish who has not agreed to it.

It used to be a big thing for me when I was younger, late teens, I would not even look at the shop assistant, I would just hand over the money and got the hell out of there. It would be hard in a small town though, especially if there was only one drug store.

I guess it depends on how often you bought them or how many boxes at a time you bought that might seem strange to the shop assistant. But hey, don't worry about it, your the one having the fun, right? who knows, that shop assistant may be hoarding boxes of Supps for themselves after every stock take! 😁

In Britain the problem you're most likely to encounter is pharmacists trying to dissuade you from buying them, or refusing to sell them (especially if you're a parent having to buy them for your kids).

Fortunately glycerin jelly-bombers (adult size) are starting to appear in poundshops again at the time of writing - so parents can buy a box and cut them in half lengthways when necessary. Or use soap!

Reality check: I don't think most pharmacy clerks think twice about what you're buying unless you bring up the subject by asking questions, etc. I've purchased OTC laxative and acetaminophen suppositories without any reaction from the clerk. If the clerks have worked in the pharmacy for any length of time, they've seen everything.

I was hesitant in a medical supply when a nurse recommended that I order a rectal tube and a plunger syringe for taking probiotics. I was in my 20s and was self-conscious about the medicated enemas for the IBS-C I was taking at the time. As it turned out, the clerk was very knowledgeable about such matters and made me very comfortable.

It really helps to have a Pharmacist that is matter of fact about it, especially when it comes to medicated supp's.

I would be proud of what you like. Regardless what they're for. If they look at you strange, they just don't get it. Eventually tho, you're gonna find someone who's on board.

When in supermarkets I always walk past the pharmacy aisle, "out of habit"/"to see what's there". Well, what a thing to find at 7.30 am. A woman closely examining the laxative aisle and taking an interest in the glycerin you-know-whats. Unfortunately (?) there was a pharmacist standing by advising her not to get them because they were only meant to be used "now and then" and it was "dangerous" to use them frequently. (Contrast that with the ]brown-]eye popping advise re: dosages on guidetochildcare!)

Instead the pharmacist who recommended, as a laxative suitable for frequent use if needed, senna. Which is much more side-effecting ("dangerous" in her terminology). "But will it start working immediately?" asked the lady. Whatever the pharmacist said, it was the senna that the lady left with. I opted not to make an exhibition of myself by saying anything.

Amusingly, just as that "laxative-conversation" ended, the music playing in the background changed to `c'mon baby, "do" the loco-"motion"!' You couldn't make these things up, could you!

In the US, I never had remarks from drugstore cashiers even when buying stuff like an enema bag.

In France, when buying suppositories for throat ache (yes, that exists!) from a pharmacy:

- I would like a box of Biquinol

- Biquinol? uh? These are suppositories.

- Yes, I know.

- Ah. Er, it's just that many people don't like these.

So the lady was surprised that I would like to buy a product she was selling. I also got the answer "We do not sell many of these anymore"

Sometimes it's more upbeat. I bought acetaminophen suppositories. The clerk went to fetch from from some drawer and went she came back she had a big triumphant smile and said "Here are the suppos!".

squidgycunt: I'm surprised, in France pharmacies sell infant or child glycerin suppositories with no questions asked. It seems like it's a common remedy for acute constipation in young children. What may be more surprising for a pharmacist is when a young male buys them - adult use seems associated with elderly women. ;-)

Never an issue for me either. They're there to sell stuff. I'm there to buy stuff.

If you have an embarrassment concern, try some humor.

For suppositories, try "With a shot of vodka, these don't taste too bad."

Or for a Fleet saline enema, try "These are great for pickling beets."

This is slightly off-topic but worth posting. A young man was invited to dinner to meet his girlfriend's parents. After the meal he was determined to make it with the girl for the first time. On his way to her home he stopped in at a pharmacy to buy a packet of condoms. He happily knocked on the door which was opened by his girlfriend. He could see her parents at the end of a hallway. With dismay he whispered to his girlfriend, "Why didn't you tell me that your father was a pharmacist?"

So to summarize: I've bought suppositories for throat ache over the time, I've had reactions from neutral to some air of disgust and some attempt at warning me off. (Maybe that pharmacist had bad childhood experiences with them; my mom was probably not the only one who used them generously.)

I have bought suppositories on several occasions. I have gone through the checkout line and did not get any reaction from the checker. I was watching carefully to see if there would be any reaction but there was none. These checkers see just about all the products in the store that could be embarrassing, but they do their jobs and just scan the product and move on.

If you are embarrassed about suppositories or other types of products like condoms, lube, douches etc. then go to a store with self checkout machines and you don't have to talk or see anybody to buy the products.

I like buying them, especially from a female, so that they might think about it. Rarely, they've even commented.

I think there is a major difference between US drugstores and French pharmacies.

A US drugstore is like a supermarket. It's self-service (outside of prescription drugs) and the cashiers are minimal-wage employees. Plus, they probably are under employers' instructions not to comment on purchases.

In France pharmacies are generally small shops (though some are larger). They are owned by a pharmacist (doctor in pharmacy), who has aides. As far as I know, the aides must have a lesser diploma in pharmacy... unlike supermarket cashiers. So they often give you advice about the drugs. The downside is that this leaves room for comments such as the one I cited or for disapproving looks (though this seldom happens).

I just feel really nervous when I buy them, even though I know that they are perfectly normal, I just always feel like they know I am using them for fun and not their intended purpose.

CuriousGirl86, If buying suppositories embarrasses you, try the internet. Amazon sells a lot.

Also if you shop at places like WalMart, throw them in the cart along with any other OTC drugs and your groceries.

Quincy: An embarassment game is then to buy ONLY the shameful items.

Hey, I wonder if 60 years ago women got stared at for buying tampons, and if 40 years ago people got stared at for buying condoms. Not so long ago some pharmacists refused selling contraceptives..

Quincy, I think I will try purchasing them online next time, would be a lot less embarassing and I wouldn't feel as weird about buying more at a time that way.

It's true that I avoid buying several boxes at the same time. Buying one box suppos for throat ache is one thing, buying one for throat, and acetaminophen and... would raise eyebrows.

That is my thinking, I would like to get a few different types, at least a couple of boxes, but that would definitely look odd.

Curious girl: I don't think a US cashier would say anything. I'm ready to bet that their work instructions specify that they should never ever comment on purchases in ways that could offend the client.

As I said, one can go to Walgreen and buy an enema bag, a rectal thermometer and vaseline and the cashier does not bat an eye.

Just purchased a 12 pack of Glycerines, 1x Nelaton cath & a bar of Goats Milk soap barely an hour ago at a local suburban pharmacy....Cashier(s) (assistant pharmacists) were cheerful & obliging....One of the two of reddish blonde long ponytail & low v cut blouse with full firm breasts...noticeably supported by a half cut frilly bra residing underneath her standard issue white summerweight figure hugging blouse.....as she went on to explain the benefits of Goats Milk soap....while I took a sly squizzy at her bodywork.

Further proclaiming it provides a nice (frothy) lather & how smooth it was...to which I exclaimed ....really !!...well that should do the trick very very nicely indeed...could be bags of fun too....If only she knew just how much--haha....Yes I did enjoy having a good perv over that transaction as they were truly delightful.....embarrassed ?...not in the least !....Did I compliment them ?...sure did !....loved that feminine blushing.....Left them smiling & so was I......Arrived home only to find I picked up the "children's" suppo's box by mistake....Bugger !... i'll just have to return later....Hey maybe I could suggest she recommend a good Enema soap...could be a bit deep butt !!

Never know that a little depravity might tickle the cavity.

Just bought some suppositories from a store that uses self-serve checkout. The machine didn't say a thing.
