I'm too nervous to purchase a vibrator in person. How else can I get one?
No one wants to deal with knowing looks from passersby and badly masked smirks from store associates when buying a vibrator. Lucky for you, there are a couple of other options.
Go online! When you have a way bigger selection to choose from and the only thing staring at you is your computer screen, it's hard not to go for this appealing alternative. Online sex toy boutiques like Babeland.com and Jimmyjane.com provide pages upon pages of vibrators with detailed descriptions of everything you've wanted to know but have been too nervous to ask. Babeland's co-founder, Claire Cavanah, started her store for just that reason. "Online shoppingis a blush-free experience. It can be done in the privacy of your own room at any time of day or night. We have extensive resources and information about toys, safety, and how-tos," she told us.
Another option is to host a sex toy party! While less private, this way you'll actually be able to see and touch the products before purchasing. Plus, many of your friends are probably in the same boat as you, also looking for in-store vibrator shopping substitutes. Why not get everyone over their worries at the same time? Companies like Pure Romance will send an expert consultant straight to your apartment to answer all of your questions, give you tips, and sell you and your friends products on the spot. Patty Brisben, CEO and Founder of Pure Romance shared with us, "Pure Romance is about providing a safe environment for women to learn more about their bodies, ask questions and shop for intimacy products in the privacy and confidentiality of an in-home setting. They are a great platform for women because they are surrounded by their friends and loved ones during a party; this often takes the discomfort and embarrassment out of what, for many, publicly can be a difficult or uncomfortable topic." A chance to hold an entertaining and exciting party and comfortably purchase that vibrator you've been wanting –how can you turn that down?
