If you place an online order at Adam & Eve, we can confirm that the delivery box will arrive in a completely discreet (and dare we say secret) package — no one will know what is inside.
In fact, Women’s Health Interactive placed multiple orders with Adam & Eve to find out first-hand how things are packaged, shipped, and delivered, including what the shipping labels and packaging actually look like.
Key Takeaways:
- The Adam & Eve company name will not be listed anywhere on the shipping label and there are no identifying marks on the package that allude to the sender being a sex toy retailer when your order arrives on your doorstep. (View)
- Your billing statement is “safe” as well if you make your purchase using a bank or credit card, which lists the purchase as “Adam Mail.” (View)
- PayPal purchases, however, will display the sender as “Adameve.com” because PayPal prohibits vendors from using a business name alias. (View)
The good news is that you don’t have to worry about anyone knowing what’s in your Adam & Eve delivery box after placing an order — we promise.
If you’re ready to purchase from Adam & Eve right now, we negotiated an extra 25% discount using the code WHI25 after reviewing and vetting their packaging and billing practices to ensure they were discreet.
Is Adam And Eve Discreet Packaging And Shipping ‘Secret’?
If you’re wondering aloud, “Is Adam & Eve packaging discreet?”, the short answer is yes: it is completely nondescript and “secret.”
No one will know what sex toys or other adult products the box contains or who it’s from — not even your mail carrier — thanks to the discreet shipping.
What Do Adam & Eve Packages Look Like?
Packaging discreet sex toys to deliver pleasure in privacy is a top priority for Adam & Eve.
After you go to Adam & Eve’s website and place an order, they’ll send everything to you in plain brown boxes or bubble mailers that are entirely devoid of a logo or identifiable information.
An Adam & Eve shipping box is typically used when larger items or multiple items are ordered together at once.
I say “typically” because I ordered a game, and it arrived in a really large bubble mailer, although other users may receive similar orders in cardboard boxes.
Still, the only thing you could tell from the package was that it contained a box of some kind.
Might be ramen noodles, might be a handful of finger vibrators, might be a hundred pairs of nipple clamps.
Only I knew what was in it for sure.
As we’ll talk about later, the exact method of shipment depends on ordering speed — standard shipping will arrive by postal mail (USPS), expedited shipping is handled through UPS, and international orders typically arrive through DHL.
When smaller items like adult movies, lingerie, condoms, sexual health sundries, or lubricants are ordered, the company uses padded bubble mailers, which is what they used for the smaller items we ordered, along with the free gifts they often include.
Is the packaging plain and boring?
Totally, but that’s also kind of the point.
Adam & Eve deliveries won’t be raising any eyebrows from anyone in your neighborhood, we promise.
How Discreet Are The Adam & Eve Shipping And Packaging Labels?
Like its packaging, Adam & Eve will label your order in a discreet manner — the words “Adam & Eve” will not appear anywhere on the shipping label.
In fact, the name “Adam & Eve,” will NOT appear anywhere on the outside of your package.
According to Adam & Eve, if it is required by postal regulations, the package will display alias information that includes a return phone number and P.O. Box mailing address from Hillsborough, NC.
We confirmed this:
If postal regulations in your location do not require the above information to be included, the return address field will be left blank.
Either way, you can shop from Adam & Eve with confidence.
I did.
The delivery driver had no idea he was dropping off a Sexopoly game, a pair of crotchless underwear, and a bottle of flavored lube on my doorstep — or delivering a variety pack of condoms to our CEO.

- What Is Adam & Eve Shipping Assurance And Do I Need It?
Adam & Eve offers shipping assurance for a small flat rate fee to cover anything that is lost or damaged in transit.
Whether it is necessary, well that depends — if you experience mail theft on a regular basis or have unreliable mail service, it may be a smart option to select at checkout in case your package is lost.

Does Adam & Eve Send Mail Or Catalogs?
No — as of 2022, Adam & Eve ceased distribution of its catalogs, which were previously mailed in discreet envelopes.
As we explored in our in-depth article about how Adam & Eve purchases show up on your billing statements, our very best advice is to create an account at AdamEve.com so you can have complete control over your email preferences.
During checkout, you’ll be given the option to create one. It only takes a moment to set up your account, but it gives you complete reign over your preferences for email correspondence.
That said, you’ll want to toggle those settings immediately after making an account because they default to signing you up for daily emails (which provide access to exclusive Adam & Eve discounts and promotions) from the company.
Here’s a more in-depth guide on how to do that.
