Would you be? or is it a normal thing just like condoms.

Why should I be embarassed about my sex life - but I am

would the girl titter when I took it to the counter?

shall i include it in my tesco online shop instead?

it's lube huwedwards!

AttilaTheMeerkat · 26/02/2007 13:29

Pecka,

Of course you should not feel embarrassed to purchase such an item. The checkout lady is certainly not going to laugh at your purchase now is she?. Treat this like anything else you would buy.

BTW if you're really that embarrassed you can buy items online via Durex's UK website.

BigHotMama · 26/02/2007 13:32

Do you want me to get you some? Never tried it but hey I dont have sex as I'm a new mom lol.

HuwEdwards · 26/02/2007 13:32

I should coco!

BigHotMama · 26/02/2007 13:33

At least you havent got to ask for it...now that would make me giggle

VeniVidiVickiQV · 26/02/2007 13:35

surely a bit of WD40 would do the trick

scorpio1 · 26/02/2007 13:50

boots do mail order

they won't be embarrassed and neither should you be-its just something you buy,like tampons.

warning though-dont put loads on,it tingled loads and felt awful!little bit was nice though.durex also make tingle condoms.heat lube is good too much nicer than tingle.tingle tatstes better though sorry !

go and get some!!you will be fine

scorpio1 · 26/02/2007 13:50

not mail order,i meant order over the internet

Enid · 26/02/2007 13:52

I forgot to get condoms last week

then I had to go back to Sainsburys for my friend who was having a birthday party for her dd and had forgotten to get anything for the pinata

I felt really embarrassed standing in the queue with two huge packs of Haribo and a pack of Avanti

prettymum · 26/02/2007 13:54

i work in boots, people buy these all the time, dont feel embarrassed!!

themoon66 · 26/02/2007 13:56

the tingle one is crap. OK for 30 seconds, then you go kinda cold and numb feeling... Like a rub down with mouth wash or toothpaste.

zephyrcat · 26/02/2007 14:00

Agree the tingle one is crap! - To me it felt like not quite washing your hands enough after chopping chillis!!!

hockeypuck · 26/02/2007 14:31

HappyDaddy why don't I ever serve anyone funny like you?

Someone bought some of the normal durex play last week doing a normal supermarket shop. I was chatting to her as I was scanning her stuff. The usual "ooh are they buy one get one free the cheeses? oh I'll have to buy some after my shift" kind of stuff I normally whitter on about. I came to the Durex Play stuff and had to stop myself before saying "ooh I like that one, much better than the KY in my opinion". Would have really embarrassed the poor woman!

lou33 · 26/02/2007 14:37

agree tingle is no good (bf and i both think this btw)

heat one is better

they were all half price in sainsburys recently so i got all 3 types, but i dont have any problems with buying sex related items in person

i'm sure they wont bat an eyelid, i do recall at the time deliberately finding the youngest most naive looking checkout boy to see if he would squirm, but he didnt

lou33, which is the third one?

Catbabydaddy · 26/02/2007 15:08

Haven't tried Tingle due to poor reviews (someone compared it to smearing Deep Heat on....), but can highly recommend Heat. Put it on, then you have to blow on it to make it warm - most amusing!

lou33 · 26/02/2007 15:11

3rd one is just a plain lube

lou33 · 26/02/2007 15:12

i'll send you what's left of my tingle if you like!

HumphreysCorner · 26/02/2007 15:18

You can always use the do it yourself till in Tescos then you can scan it yourself

VeniVidiVickiQV · 26/02/2007 16:03

ROFL! I have just spent two minutes trying not to snigger whilst answering the telephone at work, having just read Enid's post

Cloudhopper · 26/02/2007 16:13

I tend to buy all the embarrassing things together in one load to at least get it over with for a while. Then I do find it hard to keep a straight face.

I felt sorry for the very straight-laced looking teenage boy in Boots who sold me 3 packs (for price of 2) of condoms, canasten, a lifetime supply of sanitary towels and tampax, cystitis remedy, laxatives and, last but not least, anusol.

Furball · 26/02/2007 16:17

also agree - use it sparingly, we squirted handfuls of the stuff then ran to the shower in agony ouch big time! Anne summers one is good but bloody pricey.

JanH · 26/02/2007 18:29

Just don't put it in DD's hair, pecka...

FrannyandZooey · 26/02/2007 18:46

Oh god don't bother

so a "friend" says
