I posted a wanted on I Wanna and it got moved to somewhere obscure that hardly gets any traffic, so perhaps the moving police have taken a few hours off?0 -
Don't worry, men pick up or return things for wives/girlfriends all the time, no one has to know it's for you, lol. I send my husband to get girlie things for me sometimes, and while he thinks he'll look silly getting them, I always tell him people surely assume it's for his wife. If he's that uncomfortable, I tell him to make a joking comment about how the wife sends him on errands. You could do the same, even if there is no wife, they don't need to know, lol.0

If you are that worried take a big carrier bag, or even black bin bag, with you and put the Next package into that if their packaging is not as discrete as you'd like. Or just ask the person at the desk to put it into a carrier bag for you. They ought to have large enough bags as they'll be selling items as big or bigger every day anyway.0

To be honest, I don't think anyone would bat an eyelid and if they did, then that's their problem! I worked in Boots last Xmas and a lot more men bought makeup than I'd ever have imagined and quite a few admitted it was for them - I actually thought it was really good they felt they could go into a high street store and buy whatever they liked.
Couldn't help giggling when people bought job lots of condoms though - suppose we never grow up!!!!0 -

Don't think the moving police ever check the Grabbit board.
You're probably just as well posting your 'I Wanna' in here, everybody else seems to now, hence HUKD being the only place to check for true Grabbits sadly...0 -
i get men coming in my shop and buying tampons, if they are using them themselves id rather not think about it lol0
