How to Discreetly Travel with Your Sex Toys: Tips for Safe and Convenient Transport
Finding the ideal way to travel with a sex toy is critical for a variety of reasons, including keeping oneself sexually sane while on the road. You'll want to keep your favourite toys safe and out of sight, but keep in mind that there's a long list of rules that must be followed if you're transporting battery-powered devices on aircraft, for example - and dealing with these could make things slightly more awkward.
So, let's go over what you can and cannot do when flying with the greatest sex toys, as well as the precautions you should take to ensure everything arrives safely.
If you're traveling on your own, you can do whatever you want. On an airplane, though, you must be much more cautious. The key here is not necessarily adhering to rules addressing sex toys - we couldn't locate anything particular in any authority's ordinance regarding dildos, ironically - but adhering to some tangentially related rules.
Because of the possibility of fire (exacerbated by baggage handlers' general proclivity to toss suitcases with reckless abandon), lithium batteries are not permitted in the hold, so you must carry any powered toy with integrated batteries in your hand luggage.
If the battery can be removed, you can separate the components, with the batteries safely kept (in non-conductive materials) in your carry-on and the remainder stored elsewhere.
However, some items, such as mini vibes that use ordinary batteries, and (obviously) non-powered toys like the greatest Fleshlights, can be packed in your checked baggage. If you have the option, you should take it.
How To Travel With Your Sex Toys: Keeping Things Safe
When you're on the road, batteries aren't the only thing to be concerned about. Many toys are made of soft fabrics that easily accumulate lint and grime, and they are just as likely as any other device to suffer a knock or two when rumbling around your suitcase. It's crucial to keep these items clean, especially for hygiene concerns, so put your toy in a zip-lock bag and cover it with a few pairs of socks or something similar. Consider the opposite side of taking care: bring some toy cleaner and any lube you might need, so you don't go to the trouble of secretly transporting your toys overseas for nothing.
Preventing Accidents While Travelling With A Sex Toy
If you have a battery-powered toy with a non-removable battery, make sure it can't accidentally set itself off. Some more complex toys have a flight mode, as well as a mechanism to lock them in the off position for transport, but this is uncommon. Packing ordinary toys with plenty of cushioning can surely assist, as could perhaps masking annoying vibrations if items are accidentally turned on.
It may be tempting to assure that a vibrator does not vibrate by, well, vibrating it until it can no longer vibrate. That's a decent idea, albeit one with some flaws. You can drain the batteries before leaving, but make sure there's still some juice remaining (we'll explain why later). Just make sure to include an appropriate charger and cord for when you get at your location. Don't be concerned about aviation authorities' battery capacity limits, because you're unlikely to come even close to them with a sex toy. Packing a large power bank to keep things charged is also acceptable, but keep in mind that the TSA's limits begin at 100 Watt hours and increase in severity from there.
Travelling With A Sex Toy: Styling It Out
If you have a battery-powered toy in your hand luggage, it will almost certainly appear peculiar under an x-ray. So strange, in fact, that gate security may want to investigate.
There are no restrictions that require you to remove a sex toy from its bag and place it in a tray, but if you are requested to exhibit it, you may also be asked to turn it on to prove it is what you claim it is, which is why you should leave at least a little charge remaining. When it comes to awkward conversations, we recommend being honest and open; there's no point in beating around the bush. Airport security employees are humans, no matter how robotic their daily routine may appear.
Explain what's going on before removing the toy from any padding you've put it in, which could spare you some shame, but if you're feeling timid, you could always use the neck massager excuse. However, if the gadget is huge and penis-shaped, this does not work as effectively.
Wearable vibrators might also be a fun option, especially if you want some mile-high stimulation; just make sure to put them on after the security checkpoint to prevent any awkward searches.
