Traveling with sex toys may sound a little bit risky, but as a frequent wanderer with itchy feet, I can assure you it’s not a problem. At all. If you can enjoy pleasure at home, why wouldn’t you do so in your hotel or Airbnb? Do not be afraid of the security control, it’s very common to see sex toys in hundreds of suitcases. If they open yours, cool your jets! There’s nothing wrong. However, there are some details that you should consider. Continue reading to find 4 tips and make your flight with sex toys a lot easier.
Get to know your destination
Bear in mind that some countries do not allow the entrance of sex toys, so you’ll need to investigate a little bit. For example, in Vietnam, your sex toy would be held in customs and then returned to you once you leave the country. If you’re traveling to Vietnam or to another country with the same policy, your best option is to leave the toy at home and enjoy some handiwork during your trip.
Also, if your bestie is a vibrator that works with a rechargeable battery check whether you’ll need or not a socket adaptor. It was one of my common mistakes when I first traveled with my vibrator and I can tell you it’s kind of difficult to find the adaptor that fits in your destination. The best is to bring it with you, and do not forget the USB cable!
Protect it
We all know that it’s quite difficult to find the right vibrator. The one that hits the spot. Besides, a good vibrator is not usually cheap, so you’ll need to look after it during your flight. My advice is that you keep it in its bag if it has one. If not, you can wrap it with a scarf. Once it’s ready, pack it consciously in the center of your suitcase, as far from the borders as possible and between your clothes.
I prefer to keep my vibrator in my hand luggage, which is normally a cabin size suitcase. Thereby, it’s easier to avoid it from being hit or high-temperature exposure that might occur during the flight or the checked luggage transfer.
Lube and toy cleaner? Be careful
You’re not allowed to carry any quantity of liquid in your hand luggage. Remember that you have 100 ml. limit of liquid for each bottle, and all of them should fit into a transparent plastic bag you’ll find in the security control.
This can be a problem if you’re not used to it, so here’s what I do. Instead of a bottle of lubricant, I try to find monodose water-based lubes and I leave the heavy clean up with the toy cleaner for home. When I travel I just rinse the sex toys, wash them with a little bit of soap and allow them to dry.
Lock and then unlock
Some vibrators have a travel lock to ensure safe transportation. Once, my air pulse sex toy started sucking up in my handbag while I was in the tube and I wouldn’t like to repeat the experience. Despite the noise in the train, my toy was audible enough!
Read carefully the instructions to see if your toy has a travel lock. It’s usually activated when pressing and holding one or two buttons for a while. If your vibrator works with batteries, remove them.
Have you already checked your luggage? Is everything packed? Have a nice flight then!
