Discreet sex toy delivery

Discreet sex toys start with the shop: what arrives on the doormat and what shows on the statement, shop by shop.

Discretion is two separate things: the parcel and the statement. A plain box with the shop's name on the return label isn't discreet, and neither is a plain statement line if the app on your phone decodes it.

We rank on what each shop publishes about both. Where a shop doesn't say what name goes on the label, we say so rather than guess.

    1. Sh! Women's Store

    No name on the parcel, a box for anything you could feel, SH Brands on the statement

    The one that sweats the details

    Sh! has been at this since 1992 and it shows in the small stuff: anything you could feel through a jiffy bag goes in a box, the name never appears on the parcel, and the statement says SH Brands. Unwanted returns cost you postage, but you can phone a real person for advice before you buy.

  1. Adam & Eve homepage, captured 29 Sep

    1. Adam & Eve

    Nondescript envelope or box with only the two addresses, Adam Mail on the statement

    The returns promise nobody else makes

    Most shops won't touch an opened toy. Adam & Eve says any item, any reason, within 90 days, and its own-brand toys come with a five-year warranty. You pay the return postage, and standard shipping can take two weeks out west, so pay for UPS if you're counting days.

Most discreet: questions

What will my bank statement say if I buy a sex toy online?

It depends on the shop. Most use a company name instead of the shop name: AS Ltd for Ann Summers, Nagook Ltd for Bondara, Adam Mail for Adam & Eve. Some app banks look up the merchant and may show the brand anyway.

Do sex shops put their name on the parcel?

None of the shops we list put their brand on the outside. The difference is the return address: some use a neutral company name, some don't say.

How do I buy sex toys discreetly?

Pick a shop with plain packaging and a neutral sender name, pay with a card whose statement only you see, and have it delivered somewhere only you collect from. Our doormat test shows what each shop's parcel and statement line look like.

Do sex toys come in discreet packaging?

A plain brown box or padded envelope with no logo, and a company name (not the shop's) on the return address, such as Gold Group House for Ann Summers or Barnaby LTD for Good Vibes and Babeland.

Is PayPal more discreet than a card?

Your bank statement will show PayPal, but your PayPal account and receipt emails will name the shop. Read our guide to paying before you choose.
