Buying suppositories

Not embarrassed at buying suppositories. Funny story from a few days ago: being in Rome I wanted some glycerin suppositories as my box was quite low. In Italy they sell boxes with 18 suppositories and the guy in the pharmacy said that I could get three boxes for 3 euros only (about 3.60 dollars). I smiled and declined saying that 18 suppositories would be sufficient for a while for me. I wondered what if I kept the conversation alive… maybe I could have learned something about people buy laxative suppositories!

Sure. In my 20s i was self conscious buying them in the drug stores. Yes stores. I went out of my way to not be seen buying them too often from the same store.

Came my 30s and I no longer gave a dam. I casually bought suppositories or tampons as well as enema gear with no concerns. Even bought pantyhose a couple of times! Lol, if you wear pantyhose outdoors in winter you see why the ladies like them for warmth.

My pharmacist and his assistant know everything about me the medications I use ,the diapers ,catheters,liners,gloves that come every month and how to use them,I am sure of that because once well making a delivery to me ,they had to terminate a seizure and rediaper me afterwords . They are wonderfull people valued members of the community and a key business in town.as they are a mom & pop pharmacy non chain non franchise pharmacy .many times when they are delivering we will get talking and an an hour later we will realize ,oh crap they have another delivery ,they gotta go !

My Pharmacist is practically family considering he or his brother have been.my pharmacist for 30 years . So what they know medically is equal to what they know about me socially,politically and personally from many many years of purchases delivery and social inter action..I never give a thought about what they know or think about ,because I am more than a name on a label or an account number ,they know my face and voice without having to say it ,and I am trying to get the store high score on prescriptions having about 20 due at various times, I can call and say I need everything or name a drug and they will get it ready or need something and know they are delivering and ask them to bring say Anusol suppositories and they will .you guys that sneak out of town to grab something or finger fuck the phone entering prescription numbers for refill have no idea what dealing with a pharmacy.that knows you is like and people you can trust .

In February I made him dinner and baked an anniversary cake as he graduated from pharmacy school 50 years ago that day . He's the kind of pharmacy that I grew up with ,that is a dying breed in most of America.

On a personal note many many many years ago.i worked in retail ,I didn't care what they were buying ,as long as they got what they needed be it tampons suppository, diapers baby ,adult or something in between.,condoms or a bag of chips and a soda ,my job was to help them not judge them or wonder What they doin with those or that ?

Back in the 70's-80's suppositories were widely used to cure many problems. Nowadays are less popular. However buying them should not cause any embarrassment. Just yesterday I went to a pharmacy to refill my medical cabinet with suppositories and in front of me was a mid age guy buying suppos for hemorrhoids. He got detailed explanation from the pharmacist lady about dosage and use. The guy was not embarrassed at all. I hope the good old time will come back and enemas as well as suppositories will gain back their place in general healthcare as it was decades ago.

When I was pregnant with my first daughter, our doctor prescribed Phenergan for my “all-day” bouts of nausea. When my husband got home after picking up the RX, I still remember his first few words: “That was interesting. You need to take these in your rear end." He expected to get oral meds, and I hadn't told him what the doctor ordered. When the pharmacist's wife, who would become one of our family's closest friends, asked my husband if we needed any “special instructions,” I would have loved to see his face! I think he could manage only one word. “No.” She sold him a packet of finger cots, which I'm sure was also “interesting.” In fact, I'd not taken Phenergan suppositories before, so we both sat on our bed reading the instructions for inserting and possible side-effects. OMG, don't read the side-effects, because you probably won't take them.
