The second most common item stolen from stores is Preparation H. This is not because people can’t afford the few dollars it costs, but rather, they are just too embarrassed to go tothe cashier and admit that they have this “dreaded” problem.
I read this somewhere today it didnt say what the number one thing was.
What is it at a store that you find somewhat embarrassing to purchase? or to be looking at.

I would think cream's for yeast infection's and condom's at the same time. That would rosy up my cheek's.

I couldn't really think what the most embarrassing thing to buy would be as I've reached that age where I just don't care what people think any more. So I put the question to my teenage daughter instead. She said the most embarrassing thing that anyone could by would be a MCR cd. MCR stands for My Chemical Romance. LOL!

How about warming gel? You should see the look on the young cashier's face when I put it on the conveyor. LOL.

Interesting conversation. My hubby has never cared what people thought, and it never bothered him to buy pads for me. Now...I've always been a chubby person, and used to go on binges. I would go through a drive up window and order several things. I would decide I was ordering more things than a "normal" person would eat, so I didn't want the cashier to know it was just for me, or I would worry that they would look at me and think "my gosh! Is she going to eat all of this food by herself?" so I would order 2 cokes to go with all of the food...so they'd think it was for 2 people, not just one! LOL

To be honest, I am the kind of person that doesn't care what people think or say about me. So, what other people would think is embarrassing, I don't think of it that way at all.

i actually don´t really care. If i have a problem I have to solve it and I don´t really care what other people think.

Well...I've come to a age where not too much bothers me to purchase items such as tampons or feminine hygiene products...
Preparation H being stolen and second most common..WOW...
I believe if it came down to me buying anything, it would be if I had to buy something like Ky Jelly...lol lol...
It's not always just used for .....the backdoor...I know this...
But....I would be embarrassed to buy it because I would think the cashier thinking I would be buying it for that reason...or anyone else who saw it in hand...lol
