Toys, Travel & TSA

Is it better to carry a toy or not? The question is that. We have solutions! We'll give you the "why" and "how" of organizing while driving today.

The Why

You may be wondering why you should bother bringing sex toys if you have never done so. It's ideal to schedule an orgasm while you're unwinding on vacation. When you have more time to enjoy vibration, why not make use of its many advantages?

After discussing the "why," we turn to the "how." The apparent option for preventing mishaps is to store sentiments in checked bags, but if you're traveling light or like to leave all of your valuables in your carry-on, keep reading, sweetie.

The How

Get that sh*t on lock.

The majority of toys have a feature known as a "travel locktravel lock." Are you curious if your toy has one? Make sure to check the box, and if you throw it away, visit the toy manufacturer's website.

For illustration, let's look at Over the Moon. Everything is available if you visit our website and look at the "directions" section! For this reason, to switch on a toy, you must push and hold the power button. As a result, you're considerably less likely to get a buzzy bag.

Pro Tip: Keep the big boys (more immense, more potent wands, heavy accessories, thrusting toys, etc.) at home. Large devices are more likely to require a manual TSA examination because they have larger engines and batteries. Larger toys won't be an exception to the rule that all gadgets larger than cell phones should be removed from our carry-on bags for separate scanning.

Kill the lights, y'all.

There are other choices if the toy you want to take on vacation doesn't have a travel lock—or if you're still worried! Remove and store any batteries separately. If your toy is rechargeable, pad it in some way, like a shirt, to ensure that nothing touches the power button. Are you still concerned? Recharge the battery later after completely draining it to prevent it from turning on in your suitcase!

Pro Tip: Remember to bring along any charging equipment and your charge cord. If you're traveling to a region of the world with various voltages, also pack a power brick and an adapter/converter. To properly charge or use your toy, find out if you require a converter, adapter, or other gear. Use a laptop to recharge if you have a USB charger cord but have forgotten your brick!

Keep it kinky (the smart way)

With toys made of solid materials and some BDSM equipment, exercise caution. It is up to the discretion of individual agents because the TSA does not have formal, specific regulations regarding sex toys and equipment. Items like stainless steel G-spot wands and paddles may appear harmful to uninformed eyes and may be seized.

If you genuinely want to keep kinky play on the agenda, leave the heaviest items at home and conceal a few items in plain sight. Bring along a leather belt for impact play. Try a robe tie or necktie for restrictions. Play with the senses? A basic blindfold has the appearance of a sleep mask. Use your imagination!

Double bag it

We advise keeping your toy in a clear bag even though it's unlikely that you'll be asked to take it out of your carry-on or have it inspected. This way, you won't have to worry about strangers pawing at your belongings in the event of either of the two scenarios.

Remember that lubricants and enhancement gels or creams are subject to TSA's 3-1-1 regulation, which applies to liquids. The best course of action? Use a clear quart-sized bag. Just keep in mind that each bottle or container must weigh no more than 3.4 ounces. Fortunately, since a little goes a long way, the majority of intimate liquids are already available in travel-friendly amounts.

Be cool

Be calm—you're not the only person who has ever flown with a toy! It doesn't look nice to shuffle through the line seeming sneaky. Agents might have even more justification to pull your suitcase for examination as a result. If it occurs, state the facts, refer to it as a sex toy, or use terms like "personal device" or "personal massager." Whatever suits you.

Go Global

In case you were unaware, sex toys are prohibited in several parts of the world. The majority of locations are in Southeast Asia and the Middle East. Still, some have unforeseen limits (like the Maldives), so it's essential to confirm that your vacation is sex-toy-friendly.

Having your favorite toy seized is the last thing you want.

Finally, we hope you have all the information you require regarding sex toys and TSA! Additionally, keep in mind that it's not the end of the world if you are unlucky enough to be selected for a random TSA examination. People are more eager than ever to discuss and enjoy all things sex, toys, and taboos. You have the same right to pleasure as everyone else!
