Thinking of buying; have a few questions.

Well, some background information first. I consider myself reasonably experienced with prostate stimulation via a dildo, and I'm pretty close to prostate orgasm, just that my arms get tired before I can reach it. I'm pretty short, at around 5'6" but from using the dildo for measurement, I estimate that my prostate is roughly 2.8 to 3.2 inches in.

From the above information, I've been wondering which model to buy to get a good fit. I'm pretty sure I could take the girth of any model upto the progasm, and from that point of view I like the idea of the progasm. On the other hand, I'm concerned something like the progasm or helix might be too long. I feel like I should choose between the Helix, Progasm and Progasm Jr.

My second problem is actually purchasing the Aneros. Where I live, there's only one online retailer that sells Aneros products and they're ridiculously overpriced(3 times Amazon price) though they do have great discreet shipping and billing options, even to the point of offering pickup locations if you don't want the item shipped to your house. Having said that, I'd much rather not spend $100+ on an Aneros when I can get it for a maximum of $50 via Amazon, inclusive of international shipping. Another problem I have is that I'll be using a friend's credit card as I don't currently have my own.
My question is regarding Amazon's shipping and billing policy. I know Amazon and its individual sellers supposedly offer discreet packaging, but I was wondering if anyone here has had experiences with discreet packaging of international items. People at my house will never open a package that doesn't belong to them, but I'm still nervous about it. Also, how does discreet billing work on Amazon? Does the product name show up in the credit card statement?

Thanks for the help.

I hadn't paid much attention to the published product specs before now.


Helix classic insertable length: 4 inches
Progasm classic insertable length: 4.5 inches


I don't have a progasm, so I cannot comment on it.


The helix, on the other hand . . . I don't belive that four-inch figure represents real-world usage. I measure three inches from the narrowest part of the neck to the tip of the head. My body is fairly autonomous in adjusting and maneuvering the helix, but I would be deeply surprised (heh) if it ever approaches that four-inch depth.


The helix is a great introduction to hands-free pleasure, and will continue to please after you've found your super-O. The progasm has no shortage of fans. I doubt you would be dissatisfied with either one.


I'm a US resident. I can't speak for how the external labeling on international packages might differ from domestic shipments. The only thing I've ever seen on a package that could indicate its content is the vendor name written on the shipping label, and that typically suggests "health" more than "sex."


Aneros toys I've purchased from Amazon prime vendors ("Fulfilled by Amazon") have the product box sealed in an opaque black plastic bag. The bag gives tamper evidence, and an small extra layer of discretion.


The ones I've purchased from Amazon ("Ships from and sold by Amazon.com") do not have the black plastic bag. On one of those orders, I received an empty product box--the toy had been removed from the box before shipping. That was a negligible inconvenience for me, but might become a bigger problem for an international order.


The credit card statement shows "AMAZON.COM" for items sold by Amazon, or "AMAZON MKTPLACE PMTS" for vendors selling through Amazon--it doesn't even name the vendor. The cardholder could probably obtain order details if he's curious enough and motivated enough. As long as your friend is expecting the charge, he probably won't care to investigate.

Thanks for the advice. Will post back when I've bought and received the product.

Well, I just realised I could add gift card balance to make the billing completely anonymous, so I simply did that. Should get here within 10 days, hope there's no trouble with customs, or someone opening it at home. Man, that would be terrible.

Just point them to High Island Health, it is after all a medical device used to relieve prostate problems, the pleasure benefits are just a HUGE plus.

Haha, if only it were that simple. I think if someone does open it I'll probably just say it's something a friend had shipped to me for convenience.

Well, I finally got the Helix with no issues. Was discreetly packaged and I managed to be around when it arrived. Used it a couple of times already, and it was pretty good. Nothing big has happened, but I'm just relaxing with it for the most part.

You are going to end up like me, purchasing more than one Aneros. I started out with the Classic. It was fine and I had a couple of mini-o's; nothing profound. Then, I purchased the Progasm. I too, had experience with anal stimulation so I figured I could handle the girth. I had the most incredible, mind-blowing, super-o's with that thing! I did eventually also purchase the helix...........didn't do anything for me and I went right back to my progasm. So, I only have 2 now, my classic, which i still enjoy when I want a "smooth" ride and the progasm, when I want a "wild" ride.
