If you have one or more sex toys...and they are so satisfying that you can't really see your solo or partner playtime without them.
However, when your most intimate items are discovered or exposed, it can be a little awkward. Not to mention when a relative or dear family friend comes over for an expected or unexpected visit.
So we've compiled a nifty little guide on the best ways to hide your sex toys so you don't have to face awkward conversations again.
10 discrete spots to hide the dildo
1. Nightstand
If you don't have a bedside table, you can decorate your room with bedside table boxes like those DIY boxes from IKEA. Depending on the height of the bed, grab three or so and you can double the storage compartment as a nightstand. Put your lamps, books, or other things on it to make it harder for Nosy Nancy to turn them on.
2. A suitcase
Almost everyone has one or more pieces of luggage, what on earth would someone be doing, what they imagine, an empty suitcase? Wherever you put your suitcase, put your toys inside and maybe add a few layers of old clothes or old books to make it more visible.
3. A shoe box
Do you have a new pair of shoes? Don't throw away the box just yet. Shoeboxes have been a trusted storage space for years (think of those who store their dirty money in a shoebox at the top of their closet). So if you have some odds and ends to put away, why not put your trusted toys there too? A set of shoeboxes does not raise any suspicion, nor does it seem like an interesting object.
4. Inner socks
A place no one will be interested, your sock drawer is a great place to store your different sex toys. The easiest option is to put the toy in a winter wool garment, fold it in half, and mix it with other socks. Not only is this a great way to store your sex toy safely, but it also provides a nice cushion to keep it from rubbing against other objects.
5. Inside the tissue box
Unless your visitor has a cold or hay fever, keeping sex toys in a tissue box is a good idea for a number of reasons. One, it can be conveniently placed beside your bed. Second, the tissue will provide comfortable protection. Third, you can use the tissue for those "clean up" moments. Three in a row.
6. Specially designed self-contained sex toy storage containers
For sex toy collectors and connoisseurs, it's not a bad idea to get a special case just for sex toys. And there are several different types, so you're sure to find one that suits your needs. From organizers with mesh pockets, hidden storage drawers or even wallets, these sex toy containers often come with locks.
7. The pocket of the tote bag
If you are one of the women who likes to have a large handbag, usually there is a pocket in the lining. It turns out to be a useful little space for tampons or any other personal items...including your intimate toys.
8. Inside the tampon box
If you're a woman who uses tampons, you know that almost all men want to avoid these types of hygiene products, like the plague. That's a good thing because...well, 50% of the population probably won't peek inside.
9. Inside the poster tube
You know those long hard tubes with posters and some documents inside? Yes, that tube has a golden spot to hide long, slender sex toys like dildos or vibrators.
If you don't have the tubes but still feel like it's a good hiding place, then spend the money on a cheap poster and it will be worth it.
Or, for those who prefer to sneak a drink or two, some bottles have the same tube style, like a bottle of Glenfiddich.
10. Under-bed storage
While this may seem like the most obvious place to hide, if you have a small space under your bed and under your family and/or less nosy friends, this could be the perfect space to hide your toys. You can choose a small bag, a small box, or any other type of storage space, or fill it with other items, and voila, you have an easy-to-reach place right where the magic happens.
Now that you know these 10 genius ways to hide sex toys, you can say goodbye to awkward arguments or awkward conversations. Instead, you can have a sexy time with calm and excitement!
