Yes, actually, I am asking about how you carry things to an incall. If you are taking more than just "The Envelope", how do you carry them? Things like gift wine, vibrators, chocolate, extra condoms, ... . How do you get them from the parking lot, through the hallways, to That Door? Flowers I can figure out. What about the rest?
- in a wrapped box with a bow?
- in a brown paper bag?
- in a briefcase?
- in a furoshiki?
- stuffed in your pockets?
- juggled loose in your hands?
- some other way?
And do you carry The Envelope inside your package?
Providers, are there packages that make you smile? Or cringe? Or throw the bum out?
What's the funniest package you have used or seen used
I carry my own supplies (most of the time). My own soap, deodorant, and yes the most importantly towels, and mouthwash.
It really saved my day on my last appointment. Read my latest review..
That's a very common sight to see in a hotel anyways.
furoshiki?
furoshiki?
his doctor's bag to carry all his tools...
Fit all I need in my pockets. Mini versions of mouthwash and deodorant. (both of which I usually use prior to going in so they usually stay in the car) My keys, some extra hats, usually some listerine strips I always politely offer, just in case. Towels are usually plentiful at the in-call so I dont bring those. My gifts are usually light affairs that I can hand-carry, besides its always nice to see a lady light up when she opens the door to me holding a flower, or something similar. 90% of the time I return to the workplace after so I can shower and things like that there. To me seeing man walk into a hotel carrying a backpack then leaving a few hours later with said backpack screams "sex encounter" unless the person noticing is a complete moron. The hobby has so much more light shed on it then in previous years. So I try to appear normal. If you do it right your pockets dont look ridiculous and you appear to be just another person.
The kind of Tumi shoulder bag you see a lot of guys lugging around. I put everything in it. And as mentioned before it's saved me a couple of times. Never had any issues when a provider greets me at the door, excpet once, she wanted to see what was in it before I could put the bag down get the envelop out and show it to her. She mentioned she wanted to make sure I didn't have a gun in the bag. Not exactly a great way to start a session.

Medium sized leather Tumi shoulder bag. Since I'm usually dressed in a business suit, I can pass through lobbies without any notice. I'm just another hotel guest going to or from a business meeting. Even if it's someplace after hours, I always dress well enough to require a sport coat so the envelope/card fits in the inside jacket pocket. Even when dressed down, the bag still looks appropriate when carried wearing a sport coat and nice dark denim jeans.
Toiletries, etc go in the briefcase.
Most often I use a small camera bag... a computer bag would be appropriate as well.
I've also been asked occasionally what was in it. I've opened it to show & she didn't really look at it. I think she was concerned about video or recording equipment. I don't blame her. I keep it out of the bed area.
I have brought a hand towel & soft soap... For certain kinds of play some gals have been understandably fussy about clean hands (FIV). I brought a new, big bath towel from the discout store when we planned on shower scene. (I'm a big guy. Figured the extra towel would get me dry so she'd have the hotel towels to get dry when we moved to the bed.) I needed a bigger bag when I brought towels.
Backpack during workweek - very common commuter accessory in this area
Wegman's bag or similar durable grocery bag usually on weekends
For my fist incall, I stuffed the envelop under my button down shirt. I would not do that now. Since then, if I only had an envelop I would put it in a folder so it looks like some sort of business visit.
As much as I travel for work, a computer backpack is nothing of notice unless you're at a cheap-ass hotel. So a messenger bag is just fine.
Shopping on the way to a session and using the store's bag works well. Have had gregarious desk staff ask what's in the bag, I just tell 'em "I forgot already, I just go shop where she tells me" or else "it's candles to help clear the room smell".
Usually pockets can hold most all the small stuff like mints, jimmy hats (condoms), donations etc.
If you feel weird going through a lobby then just ask the desk what time breakfast starts, or where the nearest laundromat is located, or how much to use the printer -- anything innocuous is fine. That can buy you time to locate the elevators and takes attention off what you're carrying.
Love the idea about taking big towels! Taking notes here...
at which time I use a nice computer bag. Any gift is wrapped but inside the carry bag so as not to attract any unwanted attention.
Always try to blend in to your surroundings.
I see people in sport coats with them, below the executive level... computer bags are passe'... but innocent. I'm thinking of switching from my bulky computer bag to a something more compact... and classy. A piece of carry on luggage would work...

fit in a cubby hole at the police station.
Some kind of a messenger bag... big enough to accept my (hobby) camera bag intact. I like a shoulder strap to free my hands. Leather would be nice or maybe ballistic fabric. It would indeed be used for my laptop (sometimes) but could double for hobby. All my hobby supplies for in the camera bag but gifts & towels don't.
