Ordering a sex toy

So I want to order a sex toy, but I live in student halls, so I’m worried that if I order it, someone at the reception will find out what it is. How do other uni students go about ordering these things?
If reception is regularly opening your mail there are bigger problems.

Your packages are not opened by porters.

Just wanted to follow up and say that my issue isn’t that I’m scared they’ll open the box, it’s that sometimes Amazon doesn’t put products in a box, and they just slap a label on it and send it like that. If it’s not put in a box, the receptionist will 100% know what I’ve ordered

Please love yourself enough to not buy a sex toy from amazon...

Amazon classifies some purchases as sensitive products and will conceal their identity more than other orders The dispatch email you receive won't even name the product.

However you could always order to an Amazon locker and pick up the parcel yourself.

There are also likely shops in town that will sell such products. Ann Summers is the obvious one. Supermarkets like Tesco and Sainsburys now stock small ranges.

They wont, dont worry. Go ahead and buy it. If they do, come back and blame me.

I'm not quite sure what the issue is with someone finding out that a student has ordered a vibrator and therefore masturbates (as if that's likely to be a revelation), but I cannot stress this enough. Ann Summers has been mentioned and is a better option, but a good sex shop would be better again. Obviously it depends on what you're comfortable with, but the advantage of possibly Ann Summers but definitely a good sex shop is that staff will actually be able to give you recommendations based on the sort of thing you want and the amount that you want to spend. This is all about your pleasure. Vibrators are not made equal, and it's worth the effort to find a decent one.
