Status: offline 		I'm out shopping yesterday in London and browsing round a Pound Shop (or Thrift Store) and among the toiletries section I find nipple clamps.

Curiosity got the better of me so I played dumb and asked the shopkeeper about them. "I'm not really that sure," he explained, "I think they're for women who breastfeed, I think they put them on their nipples to open them up and increase the flow of milk."

Has anyone else come across a similar inaccurate description of items we know more about?

Or have any of you ever had a vanilla person discover a stray component of your 'toybox' and you have had to well, erm... kind of.. think up an excuse or a different explanation as to what the item is or is used for?

Never had the sort of situation described in the OP, but I do always find that behind the counter they have all manner of "interesting items" on show - and my kids always spot them. I've given up trying creative explanations of what they are and what theyre for now and just tell them - you cant fool a 12 year old in this day and age it seems.

I have had someone unwittingly open a small sensation bag that was lying in my study one day and had to find some interesting reasons for the porcupine quills and paintbrush that were in it.. *grins*.. but then again if they want to go opening things that are not meant for them, I do not even feel they are disserving of a reply…

As for Pound stores.. I love them… I can corrupt virtually anything to some degree.. My biggest challenge is to keep my toybag down to a manageable size…

On the way out, the assistant asked to check the bag to make sure I hadn't stolen anything - should have seen her face when she saw what was in it!

Status: offline 		I call it "plausible deniability" and if the items are every day, it's simple to explain what they are for. For everything else, I choose honesty or "would you like me to show you?"

Most of my friends know better than to say yes to that question.

Status: offline 		Not so much a description thing..but while I was still married, we were moving into a new place while my ex was in the hospital. His mom, sister, brother, and some of his friends came over to help. I was leaving to go to the hospital for a bit, and stated very clearly..don't worry about packing the bedroom, I'll get it when I get back. Well, needless to say, I come back, and my bro in law immediately pulls me aside, saying.."Mom decided to pack up the bedroom". Apparently she came out of the room, went to my bro in law and his friends holding my vibrator by the ermm..business end, having no idea what it was and proceeding to ask them. One of them blurted it out..and I have to say, I still love picturing the look on her face when A. she realized what it was and  B. she realized how she was holding it. After that experience, it takes a lot to phase me -laughs-.....

Status: offline 		I once had a conversation with a booth owner at a BDSM convention who told me she left her daughter's birthday presents at home by mistake. She decided to buy something at one of the booths to cover for it but couldn't think of anything that could pass as benign. Eventually she said she was seriously considering buying her a violet wand and telling her it was a fairy's wand.;-)
I personally would have bought one of those pink, frilly sissy maid petticoats.;-)

Yeah my helpful Mom decided to help pack and found my box of restraints. She now simply says "I don't want to know do I"

Status: offline 		Just after 9/11 a group of us met in St Louis for the weekend, a dear friend of mine was asked at the airport security to open her case. Of course they find her eroscillator( plug in vibe) and ask what it was. She replied it was a cocktail mixer. I dont know if they believed her but they let her go.

Just recently I was on a trip and again at airport security, putting my bag thru the xray machine, hoping they wouldnt confiscate my lighter....I usually check my toys in regular baggage but um I forgot one hiding in my make up bag. The security man is poking thru it and pulls out a lil blue bullet vibe, only an inch long, half an inch wide.....dangled it in the air and asked me what it was, I leaned forward and whispered in his ear that it was a vibrator, he laughed out loud, went bright red and said "Oh I thought it was a torch or something, have a good day Ma'am"
They found the lighter tho

Status: offline 		After taking a particularly intence beating one night, I was quite bruised. A couple of days later at work, after pulling the equipment for all the feild techs, I thought they were all gone. I hugged myself and leaned against a stack of boxes. Next thing is hear is "You ok?" He ended up seeing the bruises that day, and he learned about a few things...

Status: offline 		When I started out in the scene I was very green and decided that I wanted a collar for a new submissive.  I went into a pet shop and selected the largest leather one I could find.  When I got to the counter they asked mewhat sort of dog I had.... since I dont own a real dog , and was totally focused on why I was buying it, I completely went blank.. couldnt think of a single breed of dog.  I know I blushed - lots!

Status: offline 		I was discussing butt plugs with my former online dom in a private game chat and a friend who i forgot had the pw that i use for games came in and saw our conversation.  We covered by saying we were trying to think of a gag gift for a friend. Not sure what she thought about me calling him Sir.

Status: offline 		I used to vend a lot at conventions and also do some demos. Because of the theft I experienced by packing things in my luggage, I always took my expensive toys in my carry on (I still do). That weekend I was doing an electroplay demo and my carry on was full of stuff including some stainless steel dildoes and butt plugs. I knew I would be questioned becuase of the nature of the equipment I was carrying, lots of wires and tens units including an erotek big box ensured that. I'd been stopped every time but had no troubles as I was very open about what it was and what I was doing with it. However it has always been handled quietly and discretely.

While waiting in line that day I could tell the security screeners were having a good time. Lots of laughter and telling each other stories about things they'd found in people's carry-ons. Needless to day this very short woman had to open my bag after it went through the xray machine. She smiled, it was kind of a nasty smile, she looked over her shoulders at her buddies, and pulled out the stainless steel dildo. She held it up high in the air, right in front of my face and said "What is this for?". She plainly knew what it is and I really felt like she was trying to embarrass me and her buddies stiffled giggles. But she picked the wrong person. I smiled right back and said very loudly, "It's a stainless steel dildo adapted for erotic sex play."  The people in line behind me choked. I smiled. The security lady froze speechless and then blushed, her buddies all started to helplessly gigle out loud but instead of look at me for my reaction, now they were giggling at her. She gamely pulled out the next thing her hand grabbed, held it up in front of my face. It was a steel butt plug and asked me what that was.
 
    I said even louder, "It's a stainless steel butt plug adapted for erotic electrical sex play, and the other things in there are for that too. (my voice now got louder) I sell sex toys for a living, here let me show you the new one, it's really cool! Do you want to feel it" She quickly stuffed everything bag into my bag as her buddies were laughing hysterically at her by now, and told me to please go to my gate. I saw the supervisor heading her way as I passed by him. I hope she got a thorough dressing down. I did write a letter to the airline complaining about her behavior. (not about searching me, they should have done that, but her behaviour was atrocious) Glad they wear name tags!

I hope she learned a lesson about trying to embarrass people. I'm not at all embarrassed by what I do. If I were I wouldn't do it. I also don't have to be private about these things. But some people do need that privacy. The paying customers (including airline customers) should be treated with respect.
