Buying 'toys' whilst living with family
 

My dilemma is thus: I live with my family but want to buy certain 'toys' to help in BDSM-ing. Any suggestions as to how I can do it?

Well what kind of things do you want to get? Small things like Dildos handcuffs and all that kind of thing are easy enough to hide.

I'm not sure exactly what kind of toys you're looking for but I know for a fact that many vibrating toys are very silent. They won't be heard while you're in your room or even under your clothes. Hope this helps... :)

Well I need to get them via post really, but how do I avoid anyone else noticing the parcel?

Oh, and thanks Chloe, I'll remember that ;)

Most companies who sell those via mail send them in very discrete packages. There's no way to know what's inside unless someone opens it.

just say a friend asked you to order something for them and you had to have it delivered to your house, they should be none the wiser

I don't know, it seems a bit risky with my family. I never really order anything at all, so even if it is an unassuming package they'll still ask what it is.

You can open a postal mailbox and get the package from that address (I'm not sure if you wont get notifications home).

For hiding them home I've always kept a locked drawer saying its my stuff, my letters there, things too personal.

A postal mailbox? Do they have those in the UK? What are they anyway?

When you see on an adress PO BOX 333 or whatever. Thats a postal mailbox. A place where your mail gets delivered thats not your house. Yes we have them here.

I don't understand why you wouldnt go to a shop like ann summers though. Sure you might be a little embarrassed buying a sex toy, but its less embarrasing than your mum opening a box with a dido in it surely?

They have it everywhere in the world! You just have to go to the post office to open one (it's not free but affordable) and the package will be sent there instead of at your home. Another solution could be if you have a friend who is trustworthy to have the package sent to his/her address.

Well I don't know where any of those shops are, or if they are even close enough for me to go to.

Do some research on the internet! Find out whats available to you.

Most mid sized towns in the uk have at least one in my experience, two towns I've lived in neither that big both have two sex shops each. I'll be most likely somewhere near to but not on the main high-street, look out for a shop with whited out windows. I believe the biggest chain in the uk is 'private shop'.

As an alternate to setting up a p.o. box you could just start ordering things, like c.ds, books, computer bits etc. over the internet, then when just one more parcel arrives, this in fact being your 'special one' you're parents will think nothing of it.
