Buying sex toys can be a daunting and embarrassing task for many, no matter how many times you’ve done it. Does the thought of going into a sex shop to buy a sex toy make you anxious and nervous? How and where do you actually buy sex toys?! Does buying one online and getting obvious packaging to your door make you want to cringe? Maybe the thought of going to a place like Target and checking out in front of everyone is the stuff of your nightmares. That’s ok! There are many options for buying a sex toy, whether in-person or online. Let’s get into it.

Best Place To Buy Sex Toys

Are you an introvert who not only doesn’t want to go in person, but doesn’t want what they bought to be obvious? No worries, we’ve got you covered. Buying a sex toy online from a retailer that offers discreet shipping is the easiest choice. At V For Vibes, we guarantee that all of our products will be shipped in discreet packaging, so no one knows what you ordered. This is our way of making your order as painless and easy as possible! In fact, though we love to plug ourselves, other retailers also offer this option.

Where to Buy Sex Toys Online

For example, brands like Smilemakers, Maude, Unbound, Elvie, and Dame are all sold on popular retailers such as Urban Outfitters and Revolve. Ordering from a mainstream site like this is a great way to make sure no one questions what’s arriving to your home. Since these stores are typically for beauty and clothing items, it’s highly unlikely that anyone will wonder what is in that mysterious box! Plus, the charge on your debit or credit card will go through as that store, giving no hints at all as to what you’ve ordered.

You can also order a plethora of sexual wellness products and buy sex toys from Amazon. Though we’re very iffy about the quality and make of what you are receiving when ordering, this is an easy way to ensure no one knows what you got. However, if you share your Amazon account with anyone, it is important to note that they will be able to see anything you order. Much like the stores mentioned above, the purchase will show as an Amazon purchase on your card, so no suspicions there!

Adam and Eve is the tried and true online retailer of sex toys, and also prioritizes your privacy by offering discreet shipping. One major downside is that they have such a large selection, that it can be extremely overwhelming to find exactly what you want. For example, if you want a rabbit vibrator, there are literally 66 options. This comes back to something we at V For Vibes pride ourselves on – we want sex toys to be attainable, but not overwhelming when it comes to choosing.

If you don’t mind the charge showing where it is from, you can also purchase directly from online retailers such as our store (V for Vibes), LoveHoney, and Lelo. All three of us offer discreet shipping that does not show who the package comes from, to maintain your privacy. Our customers’ discretion and privacy are of the utmost importance to us, on top of quality products. No one should feel embarrassed or ashamed when purchasing sex toys. At V For Vibes, we also offer 24-hour customer service to assist in purchasing the perfect vibe for you. On top of that, we ship the same day, to ensure you get your order as quickly as possible.

Certain lingerie brands, such as Kiki De Montparnasse, offer their own line of sex toys. You can order from them, (though the toys are very expensive in our opinion) and your package will arrive in their packaging. This is great if you also want to pick up some nice lingerie at the same time, and the billing will show as the lingerie brand on your card. This way, it isn’t obvious what you’ve ordered.

Where Can I Buy Sex Toys In-person?

There are many in-person retailers that sell sex toys, other than sex shops.

Target, for example, carries a small selection of Trojan and assorted brands in the sexual wellness aisle, as does CVS and Walgreens. Even Spencer’s carries some, if you have a Spencer’s in your mall! This may vary based on the location you are in. The downside to buying here is that if you frequent these establishments often, you may feel nervous and embarrassed to be purchasing in person where people can see you. The upside is that the charge on your credit or debit card will be for this retailer, meaning no one will know what you purchased. Obviously, you should not have to feel ashamed of purchasing products such as this, but we are aware and understand that not all partners may feel comfortable with their partner purchasing these items.

Sex toy boutiques and shops such as Tokyo Valentino, Romantic Depot, Adam and Eve, Good Vibrations, Babeland, and many smaller, location-specific sex boutiques offer incredible selections as well. If you don’t have qualms about in-person shopping, these stores may fit your needs perfectly. 

The great thing about buying a sex toy from a specialty sex toy shop is being able to feel the vibrators first. Most have a model on the shelf that allows you to touch it, and you can also pick up a plethora of lubricants, lingerie, and enhancers for your sexy time. Sex toy boutiques are also a lot of fun to visit with your partner if they are interested in doing so. The employees are not there to judge you, and they see everyone all the time! They truly do not care if you want to buy a rabbit or nipple clamps.

Now that you know where to buy sex toys, it’s time to pick up the perfect one for you!
