How discreet is your online sex toy shopping?
Raise your hand if you’ve ever been victimized by sex toy packages declaring, “VIBRATING MASSAGER” or “HEALTH CARE GADGETS.”
I’ll wait.
I’ve been there and done that, and I’m not thrilled about the experience. Discreet sex toy shipping is essential when you’re living with others (or just really care about your privacy)!
Next time you order a package of a package online, consider whether your favorite sex shop handles the following features with care.
1. Nondescript, sturdy packaging
Start with a generic box that:
- Doesn’t reveal too much
- Is sturdy and tamper-evident
- Has ample cushioning to protect your purchase
For one, we’re trying not to draw attention. But also, it’s not hard to feel and discern phallic objects through thin plastic or paper packaging. Flimsy packing tape can be a security hazard, too.
Ideally, a discreet online sex shop would use a blank box with protection and reinforcement at multiple steps.
2. Name on return address & credit card statement
Consider how nosy your housemates are. Sure, your favorite online sex shop might not refer to themselves as “Dildos R Us” on the shipping label or credit card statement, but that’s the bare minimum.
Some stores’ aliases are easy to Google. It doesn’t take much internet savvy to find the sanitized pseudonyms on their FAQ pages.
In contrast, shops like HappyBed protect their billing names from being indexed by search engines. In other words, even if someone Googled the shipping or billing name, they wouldn’t find much.
3. Customs labels
Let’s say you’re shopping internationally. Does the shop’s FAQ disclose what’s usually on the package’s declaration of contents? Do they leave it at “silicone sculptures” or "prosthetics" or “personal care”?
Or do they tell the reader that it’s a MASSAGING GIZMO?
Enough said.
4. Additional boxing or wrapping
What happens if someone opens the box? Hopefully, they’re not greeted by product packaging plastered with images of scantily clad bodies.
At the least, a layer of bubble wrap and tissue paper covers that up. But for those wanting an additional layer of protection, HappyBed offers a disguise. They can put your personal pleasure product inside a cell phone accessories case.
Nothing to see here, folks!
5. The option to pick up at automated lockers
Maybe leaving the package unattended on your porch is too risky for your comfort. Someone snooping could still open it. And perhaps you don’t want to rent a whole-ass mailbox just for some sporadic splurges.
You don’t have to stick to home delivery when buying sex toys online. One option is to buy from a shop that offers UPS Access Point pickup, like HappyBed.
Choose from one of the service’s thousands of locations across the USA, including UPS stores, CVS, and Michaels.
This delivery method allows you to open the locker in your own time, at your discretion, and pick up your package.
Once the package is left in a UPS Access Point of your choice, here’s how you retrieve it:
- Find the touchscreen kiosk near the lockers
- Search using tracking number or the info in your delivery notification
- The kiosk will tell you which locker to go to
- Authorize your pickup by scanning your ID or sending a code to your phone
And then the locker will open. Voila! Secure the asset.

PLEASURE PRINCESS. COMPACT, HIGH-CAPACITY HUMAN. CERVIX SORCERESS.
I've tested over 350 sex toys and love diving deep for cervical orgasms, A‑spot stimulation, and kinky odysseys into the subconscious.
Mesmerizing mindfucking or physical fisting? Blowing men or minds? Opening books or legs? Why not all of the above?

Oh man, there were some packages that were embarrassing to pick up from my college's mailroom…then again I guess they deal with that a lot lol
I was really happy to read about being able to pick up my package. I've had a few instances of package theft but luckily none of them involved pleasure tools or anything that wasn't easily replaced.
One issue I’ve had with a lack of discreet shipping is with warranty replacement products. Even though the original package was nondescript, the replacement package has the brand name as the return address or other indicators. It’s not a huge concern for me, and I am obviously happy that companies honor their warranty, but I do wonder what about the warranty fulfillment process causes this lack of discretion to happen.
I've had a package from SheVibe end up in my apartment leasing office instead of my doorstep and I was really glad the return address they listed was pretty innocuous.
Disguising your purchase by putting it in a cell phone accessories case is rather ingenious. That would really help fend off snoopers.
This tends to not be a personal concern of mine but it’s definitely worth considering when purchasing things for partners and friends so I appreciate the structure of having a series of questions to remind myself to ask.
I may at some point need to try the remote pick up if only to satisfy my curiosity about how accessible that process is.
