Ever shopped Frederick's of Hollywood online?

How discreet is their packaging?

I want to order a few things to pick up when I'm in the States next month for work. Usually I just have things sent to the office (including some VS purchases in the past), but I don't want something getting dumped on my colleague's desk with a Frederick's return address! Even if it's just an innocuous pair of satin pajamas (oh, who are we kidding -- if I'm going through all the trouble of placing an order, there will be some NSFW things in there too)!

I don't remember if it has the return address on it, but it does come in a discreet grey bag (like the VS ones). I ordered some panties...so I'm sure the package would be similar to that. My DH seems to think the package only has a label with your name and address on it, however we could be wrong.

Haha funny story about this! I was living with my parents when I got engaged and used to be pretty reserved with talking to them about anything remotely intimate. I asked my mom if it would be super awkward if I ordered some lingerie for my upcoming wedding and ofc she said it would be fine but I was still feeling super awkward. The dammn package ended up at the freaking neighbor's house and says Fredrick's of Hollywood across the front. I saw the neighbor drop the package on our doorstep and walk away. I was mortified.

I've ordered mens stuff from them, yes they sell men's stuff too, but it was about 10 yrs ago and I think it had "Frederick's Of Hollywood" all over the package. I could be wrong though, it was a while ago.

I've often thought about what the mailman thinks. He has to deliver the stuff to me and everyone else on his route. We actually know each other pretty well as he is the fire chief too and I've seen him many times while getting a burn permit. I came to the conclusion that, what he thinks doesn't matter. I wear the stuff for myself and my wife's pleasure. We are consenting adults. And news flash, we have sex and enjoy each others company!!

Once I got over the fact that everyone knows we have sex, it didn't matter to me who knew about the stuff that comes in the mail. Just like saying "I love you" at the end of a phone conversation. If a guy standing nearby hears me and comments, I simply ask him if he loves his wife too?

Be confident and sure in your decisions and it won't matter what others think!
