Traveling With Sex Toys: Best Options to Bring on Your Trip
Pick The Right Small Toy For Yourself
When you’re going on a trip, it’s always smart to pack light, and the same idea works for your sex toys. You won’t want to be carrying around a large or heavy vibrator in your suitcase and you probably don’t want a huge not so mysteriously shaped object to show up on the security screen. Instead, think about more petite but powerful toys that can easily be hidden away in a suitcase pocket. Toys like Sincerely Unity Vibe are ideal for travel. Not only is the Unity Vibe small, but it’s also rechargeable, waterproof, has varying speeds and includes a 5-year warranty. Want something more flexible and soft, the Pillow Talk Flirty Vibe is small but strong, also rechargeable, and perfect for travel. The Mini Swan Wand is a rechargeable compact vibe that includes a travel lock and simple press and hold controls to turn up the intensity. Want something a little different? The Vedo Liki Flicker Vibe Turquoise Green is like nothing you’ve tried previously. Designed for those who prefer topical external stimulation. Fluttering silicone tongue playfully tickles and teases in a small compact package.
Disposable toys are perfect for travel
Look for single-use toys that, may not be better for the environment, usually cost less, and can be easily discarded so you don’t have to worry about bringing them back. The Satisfyer One Night Stand is an inexpensive battery-operated option that includes 4 intensities! Tenga Eggs are ideal for travel since they’re meant to be disposable, and don’t have a motor in them. This stroker comes with a packet of lube and will give you a few uses. The Vibroman is the all-in-one kit that gives your partner a quick power upgrade! Give their tongue, fingertip, and full package a vibrating boost with easy-to-use and fun-to-try mini vibes, and with a stretchy one-size-fits-most shape and disposable design, you can take your toys on vacation easily and then throw the evidence away.
Bag it up
Put your toys in a clear plastic bag, like a ziplock. You can even label them as sex toys on the bag. This way, if airport security does have to open your bag, they’ll be able to see exactly what it is without touching it directly; much more hygienic! It’s also much more hygienic to Keep your toys wrapped up in a cloth or put into a bag or pouch for travel. Think about it. You don’t want something that’s supposed to be for intimate use to be collecting dust and dirt at the bottom of your suitcase, or even worse yet, pressed up against your shoes. Many toys come with their own bags, like the Palm Power Pocket Massager which comes in a perfect travel size bag. But if you’re in the market for a new one and want something else there is the Happy Rabbit Silicone Storage Bag which is available in a few different sizes and colors. This storage bag is great because you can simply wipe it clean and if you pick up your own lock, it’s lockable for ultimate privacy. A happy medium, this silicone pouch is somewhere between a soft bag and a hard case. This means it can hold its shape but is soft enough to squish into your travel bag. Or the Sugar Sak will keep Your Toys Safe and Bacteria Free! This travel bag is coated with a special micro-biostatic barrier to keep your toys their cleanest. The leopard print lining of the lint-free bag is coated with Bioshield 75, an EPA-approved and patented coating that naturally inhibits the growth of bacteria, yeast, mildew, and viruses.
Be Mindful Of What You’re Bringing
BDSM tools can be harder to travel with. Floggers, Paddles, other impact items, and metal handcuffs (yes, even the furry ones) can technically be classified as self-defense items, which means they can possibly be confiscated. So unless you’re willing to risk it, it’s better to leave them home. Soft fabric cuffs, nipple clamps, and hoods are typically fine to travel with them. These are especially important to label in your bag so there isn’t any confusion about why you have these. The easiest kink items to travel with will be blindfolds, feather ticklers, and bondage tape. Just keep in mind if someone in security wants to give you a hard time, just breathe, smile, and calmly tell security they’re personal intimate items. They’ve seen it all before. If one of the staff is particularly sex negative don’t have a showdown about sexual biases and/or bigotry at a security checkpoint. The best bet is if you get slut-shamed, you should take people’s names and badge numbers, get on your flight, and report them later.
Make Sure Things Don’t Buzz In Your Bag
You can also specifically look for toys that come with travel locks, meaning they’re guaranteed not to turn on accidentally. Some good options with travel locks are California Dreaming Hollywood Hottie, Mini Marvels Silicone Marvelous Eggciter, and Clandestine Devices Mimic Massager. All discreet shapes, small travel friendly sizes, and all include a travel lock.
Check Local Laws
If you’re flying domestically, the rules of TSA have thorough packing guidelines. But what about bringing your vibrator out of the country? Unfortunately there isn’t a quick answer, you’ll have to do your homework. Some countries completely prohibit adult toys and porn, including Thailand, India, Vietnam, the Maldives, and Malaysia. So if you’re traveling out of the country, double-check the local laws before packing sex toys, and if there’s any doubt, consider leaving your toys at home.
