Alright,I think I got it figured out.I'll tell them the onaho is one of those stress ball type of toys,that you can squish and whatnot and that it's a joke gift for a friend.The lube is body lotion.That sounds reasonable,right? And the warmer..I'll say it's a usb accessory and if that's not enough,I'll tell them that it's a plug-in low light device so i can see my keyboard keys in the dark,since I usually spend my midnights on the computer.Everything sounds quite perfect in my mind.What do you think? Also,shall I still report back on my experience with it,or now that you know my age I'm not accepted anymore? xD

The explanation for the warmer is quite dubious... well, it's not totally a lie: it emits heat, that's infrared lighting.
I said you are accepted, so report back ;)

I think this is a very dangerous thing to do. When facing the administration there are three survival rules :
- Always stay calm.
- Never say more than you need to.
- NEVER LIE !

You didn't do anything illegal (unless it's illegal for a minor to buy sex toy in your country, you should check that before going). You don't have anything to explain. You don't have to justify yourself. Just saying "this is a manga related rubber toy from Japan, a body care product and an USB toy" is enough, and, most importantly, it's the truth. The more you try to explain things, the more you go into details, the more suspicious you will look to them. You don't have to say it's for a friend. You don't have to make up a story. Just stick to the bare minimum facts. If you lie pretending it's a stress ball or something and they find out it isn't, then they have a reason to arrest you.

Remember they have no reason to piss you off. They have better things to do. But if they feel like pissing you off then they will do it by provoking you, waiting for you to overreact and then use that as an excuse to arrest you. That's why it's important to always keep your cool. The less you say, the easier that is.

And even if they end up opening the package then, well, it's just a sex toy. Who the hell cares ?

Well I was thinking it's better to tell the truth aswell.However,I'm not sure if sex toys are legal for minors here and the internet didn't reveal one bit of relevant information.So I still have no clue if it's legal or not.I mean,there were some romanian sex toy shops (online) that had a tick box when making a purchase which read "I verify that I am 18 years old and that I have read and accepted the terms and conditions".So it might not be legal.From some more research,in USA it's not illegal to buy them,it's illegal for the store to sell them to you or something like that.It might be the same here,so it wouldn't be my fault,it would be the store's.I have no clue.I'll have to dig some more and maybe find a relevant answer.

Such tickboxes are only there to cover the shop's ass: "that person told us they were over 18 and we had good faith it was the truth, we did what the law requires us to do".
0xFF is right, don't come up with weird stories, just casually tell what it is and nothing more. A rubber toy, body lotion and USB accessory from Japan.

So I just did the most awkward thing I could have done in my entire life.I called one of these romanian online shops saying that I'm a minor and that I'd like to purchase from them (Didn't give my name or any other information,just hello,I'm a minor etc etc).They said they wouldn't sell to me,I asked if it is illegal to sell to minors...the person took a long break then said "yes,it is".So,I should stick to the rubber toy,body lotion and usb accessory.That would probably be the best..

From a different phone.Not mine,a phone that is in no way affiliated with me.I did it to find out if it is legal or not for me to purchase a sex toy.

And so you found out it's illegal for shops to sell to minors. Is it legal for a minor to buy sextoys ? (and yeah those are different things)
