Freaking about a frisking as you head through airport security with your toys in tow?
Lovehoney shares top tips on stress-free travel with your favorite pleasure picks. Meanwhile, vacation rentals destination HomeToGo has the lowdown on the world's 100 sexiest beaches to help you turn up the heat this summer!
How to travel with sex toys
There’s nothing like taking a much needed break from work, childcare, or domestic chores to bring back that sexual spark. That's why Lovehoney is on a mission to help normalize taking sex toys on vacation.
Discretion is key
While larger dildos and vibrators might be harder to disguise, these days there are a wealth of super discreet looking toys that will barely raise an eyebrow should your bags get searched. The Womanizer Liberty 2 is a cute, clitoral suction toy which can be tucked away in an inner pocket of your suitcase. With a playful design yet powerful functionality, it’s the perfect pick for any trip. Why not try a small bullet vibrator as well? Many sex toys also now come in neat travel bags to make traveling even easier.
Know your liquid limits
If you’re planning to take lube on vacation with you, don’t forget to check if where you’re flying from is enforcing the 3.4 fl oz rule. There are plenty of options out there that come in petite packaging, or why not decant your lube into a travel bottle for even more discretion?
Research your destination
Some countries like India, Indonesia, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, the Maldives, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates, have restrictions on sex toys. Make sure to do your research ahead of time to avoid the risk of having your vibrator confiscated. When it comes to flying with intimate objects, consult the "What Can I Bring?" search tool on the TSA website. Enter the item you're planning to pack, such as "vibrator," and you'll quickly be able to see if it's permitted and any restrictions that might apply.
Beware of the Buzz
If the tell-tale buzzing suitcase scenario has you thinking you’d rather leave your sex toys at home, don't worry, as lots of toys come with built in travel locks! How these are activated will vary between toys, but are usually performed by a very simple action (such as double tapping the power button). No need to worry about any unwanted buzzing during your flight, and you’ll have a fully powered vibe on the other side!
Embrace pleasure
Sexual pleasure is still sadly somewhat stigmatized, but there’s absolutely nothing wrong with traveling with sex toys, so even if you get searched, it’s important to remember that you’re doing absolutely nothing wrong! Be confident and transparent. You won’t be the first person that security have seen traveling with a sex toy, and you won’t be the last!
