Traveling With Sex Toys: 15 Discreet Picks to Bring on Your Trip
Want to spice up your next vacation? Whether you’re headed on a solo trip or a romantic couples’ retreat, consider bringing a sex toy along for the ride. From discreet wearable vibrators to a travel-sized to-go kit, here are the best toys for travel, plus expert tips on how to pack them.
6 Expert Tips for Traveling with Sex Toys
Get ready to get it on.
“Studies show that people have more sex on vacation, since the stresses of normal life are absent—no laundry, no dishes, no agenda—which makes making time for using a vibe easy,” says Eva Goicochea, founder and CEO of sexual wellness brand Maude.
Choose your toys wisely.
Unfortunately, there are some parts of the world where your toys can’t go—including the Maldives, Thailand, and India, among others—so always do a little research before you pack. Even if you’re headed somewhere toys are legal, make sure you’re bringing something that can’t be considered a weapon, says sex educator and Babeland brand manager Lisa Finn. For example, while a silicone dildo will probably get through security without any issues, a stainless steel piece may be considered dangerous and get confiscated. Same goes for some BDSM equipment: “Essentially, if it looks like it can be used as a weapon, leave it behind,” she advises. You also may run into issues if you’re bringing along something with a large motor, like a Magic Wand. “There’s a good chance that motor is going to ping the security system—it’s the reason why, in carry-on luggage, they tell you to remove any electronics larger than a cell phone,” explains Finn. Know that if you put that in your carry-on, it’s going to need to come out of your bag and into the bin.
Remove batteries from toys.
“The first rule of traveling with a vibrator is that if it has a battery, remove it before packing,” says Sarah Jayne Kinney, co-founder of Unbound. If you have a rechargeable toy, letting the charge run down before travel is a good way to ensure it won’t turn on while you’re on the go. Just don’t forget the charger!
Keep toys accessible and protected.
Though it’s unlikely, security may ask you to remove a toy from your carry-on, so keep it easily accessible in your bag. Alexandra Fine, co-founder and CEO of Dame Products, also suggests putting it in a smaller storage bag to minimize prodding fingers on your toy: “We recently came out with a toy pouch, Stash, which is a pretty cute travel companion, if I do say so myself!” Or simply use a clear plastic bag so that security can see exactly what it is right away.
Liquid rules apply to lube.
“When it comes to lube, treat it like any other liquid that you may travel with—keep it under the designated limit,” says Kinney. (That’s 3.4 ounces in a quart-sized bag in your carry-on.)
Don’t act ashamed or embarrassed.
“Be confident about your toys,” says Finn. “If you’re walking through TSA acting nervous and shady, they may read your behavior as a potential threat and check your bags more thoroughly.” If you get questioned, let them know it’s a sex toy—or a “personal device,” if you prefer—and remember that you’re not the only person who has ever flown with one.
15 Travel-Friendly Sex Toys to Pack for Vacation
Maude Vibe Personal Massager
The Maude Vibe is super discreet with a sleek design—the average person probably won’t even know what it is if they spot it. It’s also travel-friendly, charging with a USB rather than batteries. "When we were developing the Vibe, I found out the hard way that it had to have a travel mode,” says Eva Goicochea, the brand’s founder and CEO. “Imagine being on the subway with it buzzing in your backpack!” The final version has a travel setting and it arrives to the customer that way—locked until you turn it on—to ensure there are no travel mishaps. Plus, it’s packaged in a natural linen pouch, so you can just throw it in your bag and go.
B-Vibe Novice Anal Plug
Perfect for first-timers, the remote-controlled B-Vibe Novice is small, easy to use and clean, and rechargeable with a USB. But don’t let the name fool you, says sex educator Lisa Finn. “Although this toy is great for beginners, it packs enough buzz to leave even anal enthusiasts satisfied. Just—please—don’t wear it through the body scan.”
Unbound Palma Vibrator Ring
Want a vibrator on you at all times? Put a ring on it! Unbound’s Palma Vibrator Ring incorporates a three-speed vibrator into a piece of statement jewelry. The waterproof wearable comes in silver or electroplated 18k gold, and it comes with a USB charging dock that’s easy to pack.
LELO Tor 2 Couples’ Ring
Lelo’s rechargeable Tor 2 ring is perfect for couples looking to spice up their sex life. Since it’s made from silicone, it’s also waterproof—ideal for anyone wanting to experiment in the bath or shower… or perhaps the suite's private plunge pool.
Mantric Prostate Vibrator
Mantric’s prostate vibrator is designed with a waterproof silicone shaft and seven modes of vibration for intense P-spot stimulation. It can be operated with the included wireless remote control for a hands-free experience, and it has a travel lock function to prevent any on-the-go difficulties.
Dame Eva II Hands-Free Couples' Vibrator
Nearly all of Dame Products’ toys have a travel mode and USB charging, so you don't have to worry about batteries or a vibrating suitcase. The Eva II hands-free couples’ vibrator is especially great for targeted stimulation, says Alexandra Fine, the brand’s co-founder and CEO.
