The 10 Most Embarrassing Things to Buy at a Drugstore

Okay, one month when my period was late I bought a pregnancy test, just in case. I wasn't embarrassed until the clerk started talking about it. "Oh, a pregnancy test? Are you hoping you are pregnant or that you aren't?" What the heck?! How in the world am I supposed to answer that and keep any sort of dignity? I gave her a funny look that hopefully said 'mind your own business' and told her that I just wanted to know whether or not I was pregnant. There are just some things you don't need to talk about in the check-out line.

I wouldn't be embarrassed by any olf those thing. All a part of live.

I am embarrassed to buy every single thing on this list.... I make my boyfriend buy the condoms.....

your list covers the basics, i don't agree with 1, 3, 4, 7 and 8... not embarrassing to me, especially 4, i'm proud i'm getting some! :)

some other fun ones... hemeroid cream, enemas/douches, large quantities of any aforementioned items, any drugstore product that you need to use ASAP... i have had a few times where i had a VERY large, red, nasty looking spider bite on my forearm and I had to go buy some benedryll cream and the clerk eyed my arm like I had the plauge, ditto with my eye having an allergic reaction and swelling up all red, watery and almost shut completely by the swelling... ah yes, shopping at the drugstore is great fun :P

I've only bought 1,4,5,6 & 7.
I am not embarrased by these purchases and whho cares what the clerk thinks???

Aren't maxi pads used for the same reasons tampons are? And IMO, if they sell it there, then it's meant to be bought. Who cares if you need it?

A Vagisil infection screening kit would be embarrassing to buy. Thank God, I've never had to do it. If I had my doubts, like the lady in the commercial who is wandering around her house with a very troubled look on her face, I'd go to the doctor.

Laxatives.

I like to put my embarrassing purchases on the counter and look the clerk right in the eye with a smile on my face. It makes it more fun for me and more awkward for them.

I do have to admit I love buying a bra and watching a teenage boy behind the counter blush when he scans it. It just makes me giggle.

Ok... so tampons don't bother you anymore but maxipads do? What is wrong with this picture... they are for the same problem... :/

the only things that would embarass me is 4, 5 and possibly 7.... but even then not really... because I am pretty sure I am not the first nor am the last to buy these items.... and I highly doubt my neighborhood CVS clerk is going to laugh at me every time she sees me come in... :/ Crap... the clerks themselves may even have to purchase these items every once in a while...

In fact, If anything buying some of these items would suggest that you have an interest in taking care of yourself... :/

None of these are embarrassing items for me, although I've never bought 2, 9 and 10. If I need it for hygiene or a health concern, I don't care what the clerk (who is, and most likely will remain, a stranger in my life) thinks about my purchases.

If it's a big deal for you, pay for your purchases at the pharmacy register, where there are usually less people in line, the registers often have privacy counters and the pharmacy staff could care less about what you are buying (and can be great resources for private, generalized medical advice and information.)

And the author writes some sort of health related column? Geez, she has to relax...a lot. Buying maxi-pads really shouldn't be a cringe-worthy purchase event.

you should be proud to buy condoms.... my boyfriend is cuz he buys the magnums... the guy clerks always give him like a "Yeah" side glance and the girl clerks get embarrassed and look down or at me. I always give them a HUGE smile

p.s. condoms are smart and safe. be proud!!!
