I'm pretty psycho about hiding my toys, but I've had an embarrassing incident with erotic fanfiction -- don't leave that stuff laying on the table in a restaurant and then wander away, or you might return to find the person you were meeting there questioning your tastes in reading material.

Nothing to date.

Never

I've got one...but it's not too terribly embarrassing. My daughter gets super-excited when packages arrive (I get a lot of them for work). One day I got a package with my EF order and she kept asking what was inside. I told her just some stuff for mommy's work - nothing great. So, I figured she would just leave it alone. Well, I thought wrong. While I was cooking dinner in the kitchen she decided she would look for herself. Luckily, I had taken most everything out already and placed it in my toy box. But, she did manage to find my pretty pink fuzzy handcuffs (which were still in the box) and handcuff herself. When she came into the kitchen, I asked what she was doing and she said that she was playing cops with these "really pretty" handcuffs. I unlatched the cuffs and took them off of her and put them away. A couple weeks later she came to me with her "Santa" list and had "Cool fuzzy pink handcuffs" on her list

One time my parents had a technician over to our house to replace our air conditioner, and he walked right by my open bedroom door while I had four dildos sitting in plain sight. Whoops.

Not so far. Careful about my toy storage

one time my girlfriend was in the hospital her mother came over to clean house and found the toys

Hhaha, the other night my friend came to stay over and he went to sleep and pulled out a huge vibrator from my bed! I had no idea it was in their and I was sooo embarrassed. We just laughed for awhile.

Had sex at my step-son's apt while no one was home. Cleaned the dildo in the shower, but left it in the kitchen sink drying rack before we were packing up to leave. In walks his girlfriend with groceries. She didn't make any kind of a fuss about it, but a few weeks later, the stepson asked us not to stay with him anymore...
womp womp!

I'm really careful.

So far so good, but I really need a better spot for them.

Well...it's just me and my husband in our house (plus the five cats, two dogs, and one Umbrella Cockatoo)..we have no kids, and I only have two sisters that rarely visit the house. My husband's family is in Florida and California...so...for all intents and purposes, nobody is going into our bedroom. I don't have a HUGE collection----yet! But, I do have 10 or so 'playthings' in various places, not well-hidden.

Recently, we went on vacay and had my husband's 18yr. old 'friend' (a kid that came to shovel snow for us one day when he was an 11 year-old, and decided we were cool and that he'd be our surrogate son) house-sit for us. We closed the bedroom off (so none of our cats would be in there). We told him NO ANIMALS in the bedroom. Well, when I talked with my sister (whom was also watching the house), she said that she found a couple of the cats hiding in my closet (??)!!

Now, I HAVE TO WONDER if our "son" wasn't looking thru my/our ill-hidden stash. It's pretty out in the open...a few in my top dresser drawer, and a few in a rectangular wooden box that is sitting on a night stand. How embarrassing to even THINK that the kid would have even seen anything...

But, what WAS he doing in our room? NO animals were in there when we left. We left instruction to NOT EVEN OPEN THE BEDROOM DOOR. So...I wonder. Yes. I wonder.

left a dildo in the shower and my ex's mother found it. not fun at all.

ive learned just to laugh at the "embarrassing" moments in life.

My girlfriend and I almost fell asleep with toys out... that would have been awkward if her parents came in the next morning.

I bought a vibrator for her and I've been keeping it in my dorm, so I'm a little paranoid that when flying home I'm gonna have my folks or TSA pull me over for it... I know it won't happen, but best to be prepared!

When I'm done with my play session, I'll typically wrap up all the toys I've used in a hand towel (sort of like a sex toy burrito) so I can discreetly carry them to the bathroom to wash them. Just the other day as I was doing this, one of my small clitoral vibrators slipped out of the burrito and fell on the ground. My roommate was watching TV in her room with the door open and heard the *thud* of it hitting the ground and turned to see what made the sound, and caught a glimpse of me sheepishly picking up my vibe and trying to tuck it back inside the towel without dropping any more toys. It wasn't all THAT embarrassing, because we're good friends and we both use toys (and we each know the other uses toys), so we mostly just shared a good laugh, but it was still slightly embarrassing, haha.

I haven't been in such situations yet, and it's probably difficult when you live in your apartment alone, and I bought toys with a girl and she knows exactly what exactly I have.

How about this one, during a threesome where a wonderfully beautiful woman way out of my league was fucking me, HARD, with a (cheap)strapon. Upon her pulling away to go for a thrust again, the dildo slipped out but everything was going too fast so no one noticed until I'm screaming. So the very bendy material of the dildo had folded over and the plastic thing that it was on to attatch it to the strap on had rammed into my pelvic bone pinching my skin so bad I got gashed like on my vagina. The most embarrassing and painful thing I've ever experienced in my life. Close second was when I was trying to be all cute and do this ninja flip into another position, and I overshot my flip and just barreled over the chairs arm into my ass on the floor.

This actually happened EXTREMELY recent for me but while I was in college I had a very...intrusive dorm manager. She would knock and then immediently unlock the door and come right in. So, I was trying to relax after taking finals, just doing my thing as I had the room all to myself since my roomate was out for the entire day aaaand she knocked and came right in...while I had several toys out on the bed, legs spread, no pants or panties. Luckily she took it in good humor and gave me a knowing laugh but I'm still absolutely mortified from that!!!

I had to have an unexpected hospital stay and my mother had to go to my house with my then 82yr old male landlord and I had a gag gift that was an 18 inch dildo that was about 8 inches around in my underwear drawer and as she is trying to pull undies out here comes this huge flying dildo that landed at my moms feet, she still laughs 22 years later at me for that!

Hey one time I was by myself and my friend came in unexpectedly and the timing couldn't be so off. I had my vibrator out and I was cleaning it. I hurried to put it up but it ended up falling out of the towel and dropped at his feet. I just looked at it and said of fuck me. And then we laughed.

My wife left a thrusting dildo in my carry-on and a TSA Officer pulled me aside for questioning.

So my daughter is 4 and she has convinced herself that I have a collection of magic wands (vibrators, massagers, etc....) Now all locked away with a key because of her obsession of finding them, no matter where I hide them especially when we have company. I can't help but giggle at the thought of when she finds out just how magical they really are.??????

I had purchased a toy online and when it arrived I was excited and decided to test it after shower. I got all ready after shower and well I did try testing it but family came home. Until that day, I thought Flash was a made up superhero.

That was the first embarrassing moment I remember with toys but there were more.. unfortunately.. I learned (the hard way) when and where toys should and shouldn’t be used.

The stories here are funny and I enjoyed reading them so thanks to the original poster and everyone who contributed!
