A pregnancy test?
I still remember the first time I bought condoms... i'm blushing even thinking about it! It didn't help that the condom 'display' was right in front of the pharmacy, where the pharmacist was an old guy who just kind of eyed me coming and going...
And what's so embarrassing about canned soup?
I've been married for 7 years and have three kids, there's pretty much nothing it embarrasses me to buy at this point. However, in the olden days of my youth, adult material (the Hef version most commonly) was definitely the most embarrassing, especially if there was a woman working the counter. Haven't really needed that in the last decade or so, so I'm not sure whether it would embarrass me anymore or not. Besides, there's better stuff you can order on the internet or by subscription if one needs it now. From what I hear, of course. Just kidding, I really haven't bought any of that stuff in a LONG time. I wonder if walk-in stores sell much of that stuff anymore, except maybe to minors who can't buy it online as easily.
I was always pretty much proud when I bought condoms, cause it meant I had the opportunity to use them. I guess I was a little embarrassed buying feminine products the first couple times, but that was a decade ago.
Wait, I just thought of one! I had to buy a pack of adult Poise pads for my mom when she was ill (ironically, it went on her legs for sores she got). As an adult male in his early 30's, that was a little embarrassing. All the Walmart employees staring at me standing there in front of the giant wall full of options trying to figure out what the heck I needed. Actually, they probably weren't staring at me at all, but it felt like it, especially when I glanced up and saw the big brother dark gray eyeball security cameras staring down at me. My biggest fear was seeing someone I know, especially a guy.
I'm right there with you bjornolf. This reminds me, I think there's a site where you can order "embarrassing" products and have them delivered so you can avoid the humiliation of shopping in public. I'll see if I can dig it up.
One of my customers was walking her dog late at night and they were both spray by a skunk. She was barely hit because the dog took the brunt of the attack. The vet was closed because it was so late but he was cool enough to take her call. He recommended that she purchase as much douche as she could and bath the dog in the douche. So she went to a drug store around 10:00 PM and bought every single douche they had. That's a lot of douche. She was humiliated. I would be too.
I was kind of embarrassed to go into the store and have to buy Preperation H one time.
I chose "other." And I'm too embarrassed to explain what it was that I purchased. That's how embarrassing the purchase was.
Wow. That must have been some kind of product.
On a separate note, and I'm being serious here. Does anyone remember a product called Tussy? I remember seeing it in the medicine cabinet growing up. Was never sure of exactly what it was; or its purpose.
And please, no making fun of my mother.
