: If anyone asks or if you feel nervous at checkout, simply act as if you are buying a gift for a girlfriend or wife .

: Consider using prepaid gift cards or anonymous payment apps like CashApp to keep the transaction off shared bank statements.

: Major retailers like Target or Walmart often have self-checkout kiosks, allowing you to scan and bag your items without a cashier seeing exactly what you've bought.

: Carry a physical or digital shopping list with various items (like milk or socks) and include the underwear in the middle of it. This reinforces the idea that you are just running errands for someone else.

: Purchase a few decoy items (like a t-shirt or snacks) to place on top of the underwear in your basket or bag.

Shopping online offers the highest level of anonymity since you avoid face-to-face interactions.

: Use Amazon Lockers or other third-party pick-up points to avoid having packages delivered to your doorstep where others might see them.

If you prefer shopping in person, acting naturally and having a "cover story" can ease anxiety.
