It’s time we all admit it: sex toys are essential items! When you’re running down the list in your head of all of the things you’ll need to stuff in your luggage to survive being away from home, that vibrator better be on it. Whether you’re going on a honeymoon, escaping on a girl’s trip, or traveling for work, you definitely shouldn’t be going days to weeks without getting off on account of packing space. Toys are an integral part of a healthy sex life, regardless of if they’re being used partnered or alone. There’s no quicker way to boost your serotonin than a session with your vibrator. Not to mention, you don’t want your vacation sex to be lack luster because you’re not near your bedside goodie drawer.
So we’ve established you need to pack your sex toy. But now you’re imagining nightmare scenarios of your hot pink dildo being waved in front of the TSA precheck line. Fear not slutty girls, here’s a pre-flight checklist of packing tips to get on the plane ensuring you can still get off; wherever you’re going.
Put It in Your Carry On
Sticking your sex toy in your checked bag seems like an easy fix but is unfortunately not always an option. Travelers are restricted from checking certain types of batteries in their checked luggage. These days, most electric sex toys have an internal battery that you can’t remove or check to see if it’s the type that can’t be put in checked luggage. That means it’s going to have to go in your carry on for the lovely TSA X-ray operators to see. Since carry-on luggage is already pressed for space, consider buying a small travel vibrator like the Erosscia. Since it attaches to a standard rechargeable base toothbrush and doesn’t have a power source, it removes all possible chances of awkward inspections.
Own It
Those operators are looking for unusual object elements that a sex toy often includes: batteries, wires, and strange shapes. Be prepared for them to take it out of your bag. Instead of wrapping it in your t-shirts, put it in a clear container like a toiletry kit or plastic bag alone. That way the X-ray inspectors will have an easier time figuring out what it is without ripping open your luggage. If you do have to be inspected, at least they won’t have to touch it, which no one wants anyways. Make sure to just brush it off if they ask you what it is and be honest. They’ve definitely seen weirder things.
Check Customs Laws
Sex toys are a pretty private possession but not every country agrees. Some countries have laws regulating the ownership and sale of sex toys, particularly nations that operate under religious structures. If you go through customs in any of these countries and have to have your luggage re-examined, you may get your toys taken away at best or run into trouble at worst. Research the places you are going and leave any expensive or ostentatious toys at home. Besides, you can always attend to yourself the old fashioned way if need be.
